B) with no moral scruples.....
C) Who believe the world will end if W is re-elected.
....it's hard to imagine that they haven't thought of vote fraud............
Stolen ? more likely sold !
Oh, of course. This is just a one-time thing. Just a temporary minor setback; nothing to see here, just move along. We need to just fix it and get on with collecting and cataloguing every piece of data we can find on everyone on the entire planet and linking it to a Federal National ID database so it will be working properly when Hitlary hands it over to the UN in 2015. Yeah... that's it...
As long as the ID Card and Database are primary, it will be comprimised. These things don't make anyone safer but they do provide more opportunity for fraud.
When someone dies, who (and how) are the databases updated?
When the guy in charge of the database passwords, and root administrator get caught snorting coke by a democrat operative, or a criminal 'inside guy', how are they NOT going to spill their 'special knowlege' to stay out of jail?
things need to be localized.
that way, the localization acts as a quarantine zone to the kind of abuse that could bring down a nation.
A dislocalized transportation security system, is what kept al quaeida from launching a uniformly designed (to fit a centralized uniform security system, like we are developing now), universally applicable system of attack.
The more uniform and centralized a system is, the easier it is to attack. The distributed and non uniform structure of a system, makes it harder to attack at one point with but one guaranteed method of operation.
Centralized security, is an invitation to disaster.
well, with data distributed everywhere, it will never be truly updated, will it?
They can just assign the file to a newborn. It will be "instant karma."
What you want to be 100% of the infirm and elderly are going to vote for Kerry this election. Good call.
Okay, but what's the alternative to Oracle? It's a very solid db system, able to handle LARGE datasets. I suspect that any popular software, like Windows as well, would suffer vulnerabilities given the complexity of the code, the assumptions made by one programmer or manager, and not another, and so on. Windows might be further crippled by both a lack of internal communication and the fact that a mere db would be something perhaps 15% of the total product by comparison (and realizing they do have a separate 'office' suite). But I keep saying that if Linux became a widely supported and easy to install OS for a 'PC-clone' child purchased at Fry's for $400 less monitor that it, too, might suddenly seem vulnerable as thieves turn their attention that way, as well.
It seems to me that that is where the primary fault lies. Any system can be compromised, but why were researchers given this information in the first place?
Whoreacle lending support to the rats again.
Just think of all the illegal voters that this list will generate.
"Incredibly, but coincidentally, all of them have already voted absentee for John Kerry."
Yep, including those who died this past year.
Planned "failure." IOW, how to get the valuables and cover your tracks? Inside job.
