Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
04/14/2005 12:47 PMCory Doctorow:
The process for electing a new Pope is amazingly baroque and weird.
Bruce Schneier has posted a long and engrossing security analysis of
how the election works and how its simple and ancient procedures (and
the small number of participants) make it more secure than modern
electronic voting systems:
How hard is this to hack? The first observation is that the system is
entirely manual, making it immune to the sorts of technological
attacks that make modern voting systems so risky. The second
observation is that the small group of voters -- all of whom know each
other -- makes it impossible for an outsider to affect the voting in
any way. The chapel is cleared and locked before voting. No one is
going to dress up as a cardinal and sneak into the Sistine Chapel. In
effect, the voter verification process is about as perfect as you're
ever going to find.
Eavesdropping on the process is certainly possible, although the rules
explicitly state that the chapel is to be checked for recording and
transmission devices "with the help of trustworthy individuals of
proven technical ability." I read that the Vatican is worried about
laser microphones, as there are windows near the chapel's roof.
That leaves us with insider attacks. Can a cardinal influence the
election? Certainly the Scrutineers could potentially modify votes,
but it's difficult. The counting is conducted in public, and there are
multiple people checking every step. It's possible for the first
Scrutineer, if he's good at sleight of hand, to swap one ballot paper
for another before recording it. Or for the third Scrutineer to swap
ballots during the counting process.

Court Rules Evel Knievel Is A Pimp;
Knievel Rules Judges Are Bimbos
01/04/2005 08:20 PMReally not quite sure what to make of this one, but it's too amusing
to pass up. Apparently, a few years ago, ESPN posted a picture of
famed daredevil Evel Knievel with his arms around two women (one of
whom was his wife) with the caption: "You're never too old to be a
pimp." Knievel, not realizing this was a (weak) attempt at
complimenting him, sued ESPN for defamation. A lower court tossed out
the ruling, and he appealed. Now the Appeals Court has ruled against
him as well, noting that, based on the context no one is actually
going to think Knievel is a "pimp," and, in fact that the statement
was supposed to be a positive one, as the slang of the day suggests.
Knievel, apparently lacking a sense of irony over this particular
case, has responded by
calling the judges
"bimbos." The full quote is: "They ruled against the law. What
good is law in the United States of America if five or six goddamn
bimbos are going to rule against it?" You think he intended that as a
compliment? Anyway, in the meantime, feel free to go on captioning
photos on the web while calling people pimps.

Resume Rules
09/13/2004 02:14 PMUSA Today is claiming that the
rules have changed for resumes, now that they're
mostly sent via email instead of snail mail. However, when they get
into the details, they sound amazingly like the "rules" many of us
learned back in the days before you emailed resumes: focus on results
from previous jobs (read: throw in lots of useless percentages to make
it look like you improved something), use "descriptive or significant
terms" (read: make sure you include the BS buzzwords-of-the-moment to
make it through that first pass filter), don't send the wrong cover
letter to the wrong company (read: don't be completely stupid), and
don't apply "above your skill level" (read: don't waste HR's time so
much). I remember hearing all of these years ago as well, and they
don't seem any different in this "new age of electronic resumes" as
the article would have you believe. Then, of course, there's the
biggest recommendation for this supposed new age: they suggest you
spam as many companies as possible. Again, has there ever been a time
when people were told to send out
fewer resumes? If anything,
it seems like this strategy is the
wrong strategy in the
digital age where HR folks are
so
inundated with resumes that some have found that going back to
paper
resumes is much more effective in getting attention.
