Submission + - BBC Reports 'Vishing'

Dr_Ish writes: According to the BBC, there has been a sudden surge in 'vishing'. This is phishing, but using the 'phone. Apparently old folk in the UK have been targetted and are especially succeptible. Today might be a good day to call your grannie and warn her about such things.

According to their FAQ:
http://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#cmyk

"It is clear from the product vision that GIMP eventually needs to support CMYK, but it is impossible to say when someone finds the free time and motivation to add it."

So they're not anti-CMYK, it just hasn't been done yet.

If you have such a system, you also have a system that could trivially just hand the voter a ballot, since you have already satisfied anonymity, uniqueness, resistance to plural voting, etc. No need for the crypto at all.

Except that later, each voter can log in from home, and verify that his vote was recorded for his candidate. Still not perfect, but not bad!
