Voting Machine Security

Security experts have radically different concerns than the general public on e-voting.

http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/story/0,10801,95094,00.html
“AUGUST 06, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Security experts are
substantially more skeptical about e-voting than the public, but their
greatest worry is system and programming errors, not malicious hacker
attacks, according to a survey released this week by the Ponemon
Institute.
The study, conducted in July and early August, aimed to measure public
opinion about electronic voting systems and then compare the […]

have found.

Offline for a week…

I’ve been offline for a week, due to various personal issues. Still sorting through the 1300 messages left after I deleted the spam (down to 1000 at this point). Lots of work to do, so they might have to wait a bit.

I’m a teeny piece of history!

Check it out:
Hobbes’ Internet Timeline - the definitive ARPAnet & Internet history

Way cool. :)

What is going on in the San Francisco Green Party?

The latest commentary and reporting from San Francisco Frontlines on the state of the San Francisco Green Party matches no reality that I’m aware of. However, where there is smoke, there is usually fire, so I’m curious about what thin thread of truth the obviously ideological spinjob being pitched by SF Frontlines is based on.
