I don't always like technology

Computerized voting machines seem like SUCH a bad idea. From this CNN article:
"The computer science community has pretty much rallied against electronic voting," said Stephen Ansolabahere, a voting expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "A disproportionate number of computer scientists who have weighed in on this issue are opposed to it."
Shouldn't we be listening to the computer scientists? They're the experts on this stuff! Here's an MSNBC article with more reasons to think Diebold's machines are evil, including that the company's CEO was a major supporter of Bush's presidential campaign.



Voting machines aren't the only thing that sucks. The person who stole my friend Paul's laptop sucks a lot. I don't really expect random strangers to donate money to buy him a new one, but wouldn't it be cool if they did?
