A new RISKS digest has notes on the problems with the Arizona internet voting, a note that an affiliate of Aleph, formerly Aum Shinri Kyo of the subway nerve gas attacks, is a Japanese Defense contractor, and an amusing anecdote about a contract delivered in Microsoft Word format, the perils of fixed length fields and ordering flowers over the 'net, and what "highlight changes" showed about the lawyerly process and the thinking of the other side of the negotiations... giggle. Yet another reason to demand open standards from your software vendors.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
