Excellent to see this posted, it was more of an appointment wasn't it :-)

No, it's not excellent. There are tons of places on the web to spread this crap. This is not one of them.

I think you are just upset because it hurts your Texan Pride that the best representative of the Lone Star State is an internationally recognized tool that was effectively appointed to office. How much better would the international perception of a Texan be without that appointment?


And why does this have anything to do with security? Well a few things
come to mind.

I has *nothing* to do with security.  Take to alt.i.hate.bush.

It most certainly does :-)

An administration pushing electronic voting run on platforms widely recognized as insecure that were developed by a company openly interested in a specific election outcome. This combination provides little to no motivation to develop secure voting systems and I suspect it will soon become a public issue having to be handled like the rest of the large corporations that feel they are beyond the public good. This is why Full-Disclosure is good and the proper forum.

I don't hate him at all, I would prefer him as the commissioner of baseball instead of the leader of the US but that is a different story.
