263 lines of code? Really ??? How can you mix lines of code with video scanlines on your head?

Those would have to be some long lines, anyway...

It won't. Appeal deadline here is 30 days after the final document is handed over to the lawyers (today).
Since it's a complex sentence, they've already announced that they'll petition for the extension of the deadline to 50 days on this case.

tough crowd...

A Gnu is a good mount, available on equatorial regions, and it's free!

The OP is actually agreeing with you, dude. Read again.

I agree, this is nothing new. Nirsoft tools are great, I've been using them for ages. Time to make a donation.

They must have measured the time it takes since the browser makes the request until you get the full page back... that's why they got such low numbers. So, they ignore things like RTT and TCP Slow Start. We're not talking about sync speed here.

(No, I didn't RTFA)

What's the real bw available? 2 Gbps?
With 802.11n we get max 90Mbps from the carrier's 300; that's only 30% eficiency. I hope it's better this time.

Damn math, always ruining good jokes.
Actually, I saw it here, where it says 643 minutes. I then pasted the linked url.

Since wikipedia is always right, this surely proves Heisenberg wrong...

This will leave a lot of filipinos unhappy...

That's just nuts!

That's the monarchy argument. People are stupid, so they can't have a say in the matter; and since they don't have to manage things, why educate them at all ?

Have you heard about Direct Democracy ?

You don't.

Have your read about the SSL attack vectors?

MITM - votes would be cast to multiple destinations, from multiple sources. Vote could consist of a single encrypted packet; what would the MITM do ?

decryption - even if you decrypt as many packets as available, that won't give you the keys to forge a different vote.

SSL lib bugs/design quirks - all known are now fixed

Anyway, I wasn't advocating the specific use of SSL, just private-public key cryptography in general.

The problem with elections is precisely to guarantee that each voter casts a single valid vote, and all votes were legitimately cast by a registered voter. eVoting can EASILY do this, but at a cost that society isn't ready to accept: voter anonymity is lost, since all votes can be traced back to the voter.

eVoting CAN and WILL happen. Massively. We just have to work out the details. One way that would work:
- every voter must have its own private key (being done in Portugal/Europe, with the new Citizen Card [I know, you people dislike ID cards])
- voters can then cast a *signed* online vote, and this vote can go to multiple institutions/instances/controllers/sites/etc. Published results should match.
- Voting can be done from home, or with the citizen card (that contains the signature) at the local voting place.

Voting could then be extended to government actions that currently skip the peoples' opinion. Eventually we would see the people voting on a daily basis on the projects they want.

Massive corruption of this system is difficult, possibly impossible, just like breaking a site's SSL.
