Infighting (Los Angeles Times)
06/01/2004 05:51 AMLos Angeles Times - WASHINGTON — Eclipsed by the furor over
foreign policy, Congress' debate over the federal budget has slipped
quietly into an impasse that is no garden-variety partisan standoff.
It is a battle among Republicans over what their party stands for,
analysts say.
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.

most ideal setup for a mobile group of people....

08/04/2004 03:24 PMThe Department of Health and Human Services is shipping 20,000
Leap
Pad Learning Systems to women in Afghanistan. While LeapPad is
marketed here as en edutainment system for children, this version was
modified for adults who speak Dari and Pashto but aren't necessarily
able to read. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the systems
will be used to inform the women about healthcare issues like diet,
immunization, pregnancy, and disease prevention in, er, unique ways:
For example, said LeapFrog Chief Executive Officer Tom
Kalinske, reproduction is a culturally and religiously sensitive topic
in the country. The solution: a page of text and a page of pictures
with the analogy of growing carrots. Growing them too close together
produces skinny and not-well- formed carrots that do not look good to
eat, but if you space the carrots, they're plump and appetizing -- the
lesson being it's better to space children rather than having them in
rapid succession.
