In reply to the discussion: Some thoughts on Anon and hacking and all that (as well as the culture) [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)53. Ah yes, when all else fails, change the subject.
And you are telling me that we have had zero attempts to screw with the vote?
You're discussing one particular supposed hack attempt. Whether or not someone has tried to screw with voting anywhere at any time is utterly irrelevant.
I love it how we twist actual documented information in this pretension that we have the cleanest election system...ever.
What documentation?
As has been pointed out to you by me and a ton of other people in this thread, THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION. There is a stream of technical terms strung together that do not make sense.
Let's try this example: "Casa grasa limpia Martes". Those are 4 perfectly valid Spanish words. That sentence makes no sense whatsoever.
These people have done the same thing with technical terms.
Explain to me in your fantasy how exactly making sure the intent of the voter is followed invalidates the efforts of volunteers and voters
Because according to you, the only reason Obama won was because of these doofuses "unhacking" the vote. No matter how hard the volunteers worked, it wouldn't matter because only the doofuses mattered.
Of course, you are also assuming that I insisted, this till the cows come home that it happened.
So you are taking the time to make and respond to multiple threads about something that you don't believe in?
Tell me, you just equated feasible, the word I used, with it happened. The words I did not use.
No, your failing is believing this crap is feasible.
Indeed, let me add this little nugget from Microsoft, I think they might have a clue as to what Access is.
What is Access?Access is a database tool for gathering and understanding all your informationyour phone numbers, inventory, guest lists, whatever youre trackingand providing a convenient way to enter, navigate, and report out your data.

Access is a trivial database program. It is not designed for large-scale systems, so it is never used in large-scale systems, such as Orca. Microsoft is abandoning it for smaller versions of SQL Server. SQL Server is Microsoft's large-scale database application designed to compete with Oracle, MySQL and Postgres.
If any vendor ever proposes to use Access as your database, do not hire them. They are incompetent.
I'm beginning to wonder if you wrote the letter. You display a similar lack of knowledge as the authors.

I think the rich fantasy life comes in imagining Rove wants free and fair elections.

No wonder you think that letter has evidence. You apparently have trouble reading.

So a 60 page voter strike list in a PDF format has FUCK ALL to do with e-voting/tabulation systems?

Its embarassing to the progressive community. It makes us look like technically illiterate fools.

Its embarassing to entertain blatant ignorance as if it has merit and thats what you are doing.

As usual, you see correction as a denial of the issue and a cause for condescension.

I'd comment on this nonsense, but the OP has me on Ignore, so there's no point.

I would say that it's speculation with many separate facts in support of it.
