Submission + - Open-source voting software success! (openvotingconsortium.org)
elhaf writes: "Via their own website, the Open Voting Consortium successfully demonstrated the Open Voting Process in San Luis Obispo this weekend.
OVC received a request from San Luis Obispo County on the previous Monday to provide software to run their JAN 12 straw poll.
By Friday, they had the software prepared and Saturday's event goes down as a great success for Open Voting Consortium and the cause of transparent election administration. They used the Ubuntu (Linux) operating system, which is also free and open source. Their code is publicly available. Surprisingly, counting ballots is not rocket science."
Submission + - Is there any reason to report spammers to ISP's?
marko_ramius writes: For years I've been a good netizen and reported spam that I get to the appropriate contacts at ISP's. In the entire time that I've done this I've gotten (maybe) 5 or 6 responses from those ISP's informing me that they have taken action against the spammer.
In recent years, however, I haven't gotten any responses.
Are the ISP's so overwhelmed with abuse reports to respond to ANYBODY that reports spam? Do they even bother acting on the reports?
Is there any real reason to report spammers?
