Are you actually able to say that with a straight face after the last 6 years? I can't imagine doing so without Botox involved. (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) The current administration effectively owns the code now, and they're not going to let anyone see it. Open source is the only acceptable solution in this application. (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Umm... Diebold's CEO stated in a letter that he was committed to delivering Ohio's electoral votes to the president. (URL) keeping them in office guarantees they keep their gig, So why should we trust them, when it's been demonstrated over and (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I don't trust Diebold, that's true, but I wouldn't trust any company in the same situation, even an avowed Liberal company.

(...) Of course you're not guaranteed, but you could do some 50/50 chance stuff. Imagine if one candidate is ahead in the polls with 75% of the vote (Sven), compared to another candidate with 25% (Twiggy). It could be argued that Twiggy has no (...)
