Employee Privacy, Employer Policy "...two recent court cases where an employee's reasonable expectation of privacy was more important than the employer's ability to read any employee's e-mail - despite a privacy policy that clearly stated any company e-mail can, and will, be monitored."

 
As a real life illustration of Gee Whiz's "Foxtrot" post yesterday, here is an article in today's Virginian Pilot about the electronic voting machines to be used in the upcoming election. And I quote -

Elisa Long, Norfolk's general registrar, said every day she reassures people "so concerned about the security of their vote."

Her city has used electronic voting machines since 2002, and she said she isn't worried about somebody introducing a virus to alter the results, as detailed in a Princeton University study, or about hackers compromising her system.

"I feel it's a lot to do about not a lot"

Comment regarding the quote "I feel it's a lot to do about not a lot" from Gee Whiz: Yeah... what's the big deal? It's only about preserving democracy as we know it.

Perhaps the Federalists (Hamiltonians) have defeated those who embrace Jeffersonian democracy? Alexander Hamilton purported demonstrated his preference for monarchy over democracy when he referred to the public as follows: "Your people are a great beast and that the real disease is democracy." (Also "Your people, sir--your people is a great beast!" ) The Federalists were quite elitist in their ways as this Hamilton quote illustrates: "The public must be put in its place so that the responsible men may live free of the trampling and the roar of a bewildered herd."

New Windows attack can kill firewall
Hackers have published code that could let an attacker disable the Windows Firewall on certain Windows XP machines. The code, which was posted on the Internet early Sunday morning, could be used to disable the Windows Firewall on a fully patched Windows XP PC that was running Windows' Internet Connection Service (ICS)...
The attacker could send a malicious data packet to another PC using ICS that would cause the service to terminate. Because this service is connected to the Windows firewall, this packet would also cause the firewall to stop working...
