Hacking a Diebold voting machine.
Evidently, if you insert a memory card and reboot, the machine will boot from the memory card.
I am capable of rearranging the fundamental building blocks of the universe in under six seconds. I shelve physics texts under "Fiction" in my personal library! I am grasping the reigns of the universe's carriage, and every morning get up and shout "Giddy up, boy!" You may never grasp the complexities of what I do, but at least have the courtesy to feign something other than slack-jawed oblivion in my presence. I, sir, am a wizard, and I break more natural laws before breakfast than of which you are even aware!

Read this (and the linked paper) for some harder details.

Very interesting. Scary, but interesting.
I thought the points about needing to change actual election procedures was also well taken.

Bah, I'm glad I live in an area that does it the old fashioned way: markers with special inks that allows the machine to count only the votes marked.
I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. ~Marcus Cole, Babylon 5
