I watched the Princeton Video- diebold TS hack? what was in my pocket?

[FogerRox]

Go here:

http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/videos.html

SO I am watching the video... about 1/3 thru, I see the voter card, that the voter must insert to enable the process, and what do I see?



This is a shot of my laptop, with the same card I had in my Pocket, laid out on the keypad. Now you say, what was I doing with a DIEBOLD card in my pocket? I had just come from the Laundrymat, they use a system where you get this card, insert it in a machine, put money in the machine and then the card is taken out and inserted in the washingmachine. Its like a debit card to pay for your washing and drying.

Isnt that cute?

[Wilms]

1. Did you rig the washing machines so that everything comes out blue?

:evilgrin:

[FogerRox]

45. This thread got hijacked, and I traced it back to Wilms, its your fault

[Kurovski]

54. You have no real proof, you only have your cockamamie conspiracy theories!

Take off that tin-foil beret before you embarrass us any further!

[Kurovski]

2. A rocket in your pocket,

baby? :evilgrin:

[Coes]

3. Diebolded laundry

it didn't come out clean, did it?

[Kurovski]

4. Hehe...

:D !

[FogerRox]

5. OK have some fun........ . . . . .. .

These cards are all over the country, they are easy to get. Get the reader, read the card..... and copy them, vote like 20 times.........

[Kurovski]

7. Are you spanking me...in public?! :)

I'm going to have to charge you extra. :evilgrin:

But seriously, are the cards really exactly the same, because you know there are plenty of Democratic, Green, etc, folks who would be able to do this too, no?

Does Diebold think all liberals and such are Boy Scouts?

[Melissa G]

12. Shame on you Foger, you should not vote 20 times..nor 40 ..nor 400

nor 4,000.. not that that it makes any difference to that little card. One can program it for any number of combinations..
But No One would think to do that...:eyes: Nope that's never happened...:sarcasm:

[FogerRox]

29. Sorry Melissa, I dont know what I was thinking.....

Oh.... thats what I was thinking

[Melissa G]

32. LOL! Woo Hoo! Good Looking ...Guy!.. I mean.. Sign!...

Yeah, Good Looking Sign! Impeach BUSH and The whole Nasty Stinkin' mis administration he rode in on!
:toast:


More LOL.. Would it not be better to have a No Right Turn in the background of your sign?
Just thinkin...:think: :pals:

[FogerRox]

36. I'm just a middle aged fart... (single)

no right turn... LOL.

[FogerRox]

6. My father always says to me.. Roger, dont be a smartass.......

[Kurovski]

8. Are you asking me "Who's your daddy"?

Cuz' that's extra, too.:-)

[FogerRox]

30. Watching Kojak on DVD?

[Kurovski]

33. You're thinking of the catchphrase "Who loves 'ya, baby?"

And the answer is "we do".

[sandnsea]

9. Guess what else

There's $50 machines that program them.

[FogerRox]

11. Bingo, we have a winner

[BlueEyedSon]

10. It's a standard "smart card" format

many credit cards are the same (only with colorful logos on them)

[Amaryllis]

13. Feeling really stupid here, but Foger, are you saying the laundry card

is interchangeable with the VOTER card???/

[FogerRox]

14. yup, see post # 10.

[Kurovski]

15. Foger, did you see the story from Maryland where the cards were

"accidentally" left behind? Is it possible that someone reprogrammed the little suckers while they sat unattended?

If so, perhaps someone who knows more than I do about this might want to post a comment at the end of that Washington Post story.

[FogerRox]

16. Of course its possible, damn easy is more like it.

Though it could have been a mix up, How would one tell the difference 'tween a "R" card or a "D" card in a primary?

[Kurovski]

17. Well, in the article it is said that the workers didn't know how to fix it

Wouldn't they then just try another card in order to fix it? I had the impression that each card would contain all ballots.

Or are the cards they speak of just used to bring the computers online?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

18. did it switch your clothes out with someone elses? n/t

[FogerRox]

19. No, my blue shirts all turned red...... .. .. . .. . .. . .. LOL

[DemReadingDU]

20. Too funny!

[Amaryllis]

38. It was a computer glitch. And it wont affect the outcome of....anything

that matters!

[Kurovski]

39. The Tide never turns, All we hear about are blue shirts turning red,

never red shirts going blue. Why Duz that happen? Always the Bold Gain of blue to red. It makes me want to SHOUT!

[Melissa G]

48. Kurovski, You are TOO PUNNY!!! n/t

[Kurovski]

51. I knew I was taking a Wisk with that post.

And now I've lost all Wespect.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

49. the problems were all human error

agh

[mom cat]

21. Rolling on the floor and choking on my laughs! Pounding floor!

This behavior is so unbecoming and its all your fault!:rofl:

[Kurovski]

22. Red, whitewash, and blue.

[FogerRox]

26. I have a nice pair of BLACK pants, a sheriff wouldnt let them in the door

[Kurovski]

28. So you went in PANTSLESS?

At any rate, you should contact your representatives and the NAACP.

[FogerRox]

31. Yes I will, PFFFFit

[Kurovski]

34. What's up with that picture?

You SAID you were de-pantsed.

Or did they remove something from your basket?

[FogerRox]

37. dont mess with my pants

[Kurovski]

40. Are you accusing me of having some unwholesome designs upon your pants?

I shall take this opportunity to remind you that you are the one who had originally entered your pants as a fit topic for conversation.

I entered later.

[FogerRox]

41. agent provoqator, instigator, who let this creep in here

You are the one who needs the smart card... PAL

LOL

Plus you are off topic, straighten up and fly right.... PAL

[Kurovski]

42. Ahhh, tell it to 'yer alert button punk.

But seriously Foger, nice pants.:evilgrin:

What's a "Provdagator"?

[FogerRox]

43. Are you a lert? I'm a lert, I am wide awake.

Agent provocateur, I had to use spell check, gesse.

[Kurovski]

44. Linux Emergency Response Team?

[New Earth]

23. this is off topic but damn dude

look at all those windows up! you need firefox!! :hi:

[FogerRox]

25. LOL, well that is my 1st new computer

about 1 month old, $500 for 80 gig hard drive, 512 ram, wireless. About all I can afford for now. Does firefox tile the windows on screen? Plus I want to go MAC, maybe before my next life.........

...but you are right.

[New Earth]

27. firefox rules

with firefox, you have one window open, with all the sites you want to view, open in separate tabs. you click on which tab you want to view the site you wanna see. also, instead of just 'bookmarks', you can have all of your sites saved at the top of the window and you just click on the site you want to go to, and it opens :D it really beats having 20 IE windows open at once :P

(and it's FREE)

[Kurovski]

35. Faye, the whole thread of responses is off-topic,

so, not to worry.

[diva77]

24. interesting that atm cards are made differently than these...

(or at least my atm card, in particular)

[kster]

46. Small problem

if the machine is set up to record votes, the way the hacker wants, you could slide that card in 4000 times and the hackers vote total would come up as if you voted only once.

My question is, is their a quick way to short these machines out, to render them useless or set up the card so that it puts the machine out of commission for the rest of the day, DU techies?

I think that would give us more bang for the buck.

I mean if they want a tech war, lets give them one.

[Kurovski]

47. You've just made Agent Mike very happy.

But according to the princeton example, you have to get into the machine if you really want to cause a ruckus.

And that was very, very easy and quickly done so long as no one can see you.

I dunno. I'm lucky I can remember how to start up my PC each day.

[kster]

50. That explains this guy, I saw while I was working yesterday

I was wondering what he was up to.

[Kurovski]

52. He's the sole agent assigned to your case.

[kster]

53. I pulled one of these on him

and escaped relatively unscaved.

[Kurovski]

55. Unscathed too, I'd say.

So you're that couch-bouncer from Oprah? How's the whole heterosexual marriage thing working out this go-round?
