Keep Voting Ponderous (NPR commentary)







Keep Voting Ponderous (NPR commentary)

Keep Voting Ponderous (NPR commentary) 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

Here's the next-to-final draft of a commentary that ran on NPR's All Things Considered on Monday. You can listen to it here. I'm double worried about electronic voting machines. First there's the problem that lots of people have noted with the new machines. Instead of marking a box with a pen, you touch the screen to put an electronic mark in an electronic box. Very convenient and results are tabulated instantly, but suppose there's a bug in the computer, or suppose someone hacks into them. How would we even know that the software is miscounting the votes? The most...

You might have read the news today -- oh boy -- about how the Pentagon really, really wanted to use a new Web-based system called Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) to allow 6 million military personnel and their relatives around the world to vote in U.S. elections from their laptops. After all, just because a voter is 13 time zones away from home or whatever shouldn't exclude him or her from exercising the single most important tool of democracy. So the motive is certainly okay.

War commentary


War commentary 03/19/2003 10:26 PM

Paolo Valdemarin: "After September 11 the US were leading the largest coalition of countries ever seen. Now, whatever the US administration is saying, they are going to a war alone." Actually the British are fighting with the US.

Lance Knobel: "I'd like to have seen an alternative to war, but that would have meant an international commitment to intrusive inspections, backed by the threat of force. In the light of French and Russian vacillation, it's very unclear whether that could have worked."

Megnut: "I'm uncomfortable with the idea of America unilaterally removing someone from power. And I am very disturbed by the approach the American government has taken to achieve its goals."

Karlin Lillington: "The Bush administration has been utterly hopeless and inept in creating a coalition abroad, in showing leadership overseas, in working towards consensus."

Commentary: Patched in 60 Seconds 07/08/2004 08:26 PM
Today it was announced that a vulnerability in the Mozilla and Firefox Web browsers allows the execution of arbitrary code in Windows NT, 2000, and XP systems. It doesn't affect GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris or anything else -- just Windows. I'd imagine that Microsoft's head honchos will be mentioning this exploit whenever they want to attack open source software security for years to come. Ironically OSS advocates might use the same story to attack Microsoft's security record. Why? Because a patch was released before the vulnerability was widely reported.

Commentary: Where is Java in the
settlement?
04/12/2004 06:04 AM
Editor's note: Our colleague, Javalobby founder Rick Ross, has graciously allowed NewsForge to reprint his column from this week's special edition of the Javalobby newsletter. It makes an excellent package with Richard Stallman's essay on "Free but shackled: The Java trap." I can neither endorse nor denounce the Sun/Microsoft settlement at this point. Those of us on the outside have no access to the particulars of the settlement and have no way to know whether Sun has sold us out. In truth, precious little of the corporate messaging has specifically referenced Java. It would be nice to paint a positive picture, but experience has proven that we shouldn't be too quick to believe what corporations convey in their highly managed dog-and-pony shows.
