Early Bird Receipts Are Important
Early Bird Receipts Are Important
04/02/2005 11:52 AMBe aware you will need your
original cash register receipt, not
a copy, when you mail in your Walmart Early Bird coupon. Seems very
odd to require the, but it's there on the package plain as day. This
will be especially important if anybody happens to buy one on eBay and
doesn't realize the receipt is required.
Making E-Voting Systems With Paper
Receipts Even Better
Making E-Voting Systems With Paper
Receipts Even Better
06/08/2004 10:50 AMWith all the talk lately about e-voting, one thing that continually
gets mixed up is exactly what the fight is over. Those who are
fighting to keep the existing machines like to claim that those who
want a verifiable paper trail are fighting against progress - trying
to go backwards away from electronic voting to a paper world. Of
course, nothing can be further from the truth. Those who want the
verifiable paper receipt aren't against electronic voting at all.
They just understand the technology enough to realize that the current
system isn't particularly secure or reliable and they want to make it
better. Once you start going down that trail, however, you need to
come up with a system that really is more secure and reliable, and
that's where some researchers are
putting a
lot of attention these days. They're trying to go beyond just
adding a verifiable paper ballot, to using systems to make sure that
you can check after-the-fact, to guarantee that your vote really was
properly counted. Most of the article focuses on David Chaum's
system, which tends to bring out very strong opinions in people (too
often focused on Chaum, himself, rather than the system). The
argument against such systems is that they're either too complex or
too expensive (or both), but no one ever said democracy was supposed
to be cheap.

Election Officials Hoping E-Voting
Machines With Paper Receipts Fail
Election Officials Hoping E-Voting
Machines With Paper Receipts Fail
05/27/2004 11:04 AMYou would think that the goal of an election official would be to help
guarantee the most accurate election possible, promoting the benefits
of democracy. However, it seems that that's not true at all. We've
already talked about election officials who have decided to
ignore
rules requiring their electronic voting machines be more secure
and others who are
suing
because they don't want to make their machines more secure.
However, now that Nevada is going to use e-voting machines with a
paper trail, many election officials are
hoping
the machines will fail just to say "I told you so!" Once
again, they're missing the point. It
is very likely that some
of the machines will have bugs - and all of these election officials
will start screaming about them. However, the problem with the
current e-voting machines is that
no one knows if there are bugs or
not in how the votes are actually counted. Just because you've
set up the system to not inform you if something goes wrong, it
doesn't mean that everything has gone right. Shouldn't we trust a
system that will at least let us double check if something has gone
wrong more than one that doesn't let us check at all? Of course, the
article notes that the paper trail in these Nevada elections will be
useless, because it doesn't qualify as a legitimate ballot to be
recounted. In other words, the only point of using e-voting with the
paper trail in these elections is to see if the machines jam up, and
then let election officials complain loudly about the problems with
paper receipt e-voting machines.

Microsoft To Bridge Office, Back Office
Apps
01/26/2004 01:10 AMMicrosoft continues to build bridges between Office desktop apps and
reservoirs of back-office data. The "Information Worker Bridge"
project now under way seeks to make it easier for integrators or
in-house developers to make Excel or Word de-facto front ends for
back-end accounting, ERP or other applications, sources said. In
theory, this would take back-office integration beyond ODBC drivers
and InfoPath, the Office application that lets people build dynamic
forms on their desktops that tap into back-office XML data.
