What I do not understand is this: Exactly what trade secrets are they claiming for protection?Originally Posted by lastnymleft
The purpose of this device is to record a voter's vote. Therefore the minimum function is to be able to create a entry in a database indicating ballot identity (maybe by using SSN, ballot number, or whatever), positions and selections. It must then be able to tally up all the votes.
Basically, I can program the whole thing, heck, I could even use 386s with QuickBASIC to do this!
So exactly what is in the machine that requires the protection of a trade secret? Friendly user-interface? That's a copyright issue. Source code itself? Not strictly necessary to do an independent test. Custom hardware? Not strictly necessary to do an independent test.
I'm sorry, but just... *what* trade secret?
This is bull$#@!. Longhorn style.
Which is easier to keep down, a salad, a slab of steak, or a pint of beer if you are moving at approximately 29,658 meters per second and rotating at a maximum of tangential velocity of 463 meters per seconds?
