In what has got to be both the stupidest move by Diebold and the most hilarious hack ever, Princeton students take an image of the master key to the Diebold voting boxes on the Diebold website and use it to create a real master key that will open any Diebold voting box. Clever students… stupid Diebold. These are the guys we’re trusting to make electronic voting happen? What I don’t get is how eBay can support bajillions of secure transactions a day… yet they can’t get electronic voting right.

About Paul Spoerry
I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
