...that their parents don?t have any means to communicate, in case of emergency or just in case. I just don?t know how many people would entrust their elderly parents? safety to a cell-phone carrier that isn?t their own.

Princeton computer scientist Edward Felten and a couple of graduate students this past summer tested the defenses of a voting machine made by Diebold, a major manufacturer of such devices. Felten's team found three ways to insert into the machine rogue programs that allowed them to redistribute votes that had already been cast. In one instance, the testers had to take the machine apart with a screwdriver--an act likely to draw...
