La librairie à paris 11ème
(j’écris ça, c’est pour aussi améliorer les résultats dans les moteurs de recherche)
On vient de faire deux sites pour Mag, un pour le magasin, le deuxième pour elle et toutes les bêtises qu’elle veut dire et écrire:J’en profite, il y a déjà quelque temps de cela, mag et titi ont gagné un prix: le prix lilas des libraires. C’est un prix national destiné à une auteur, mais cette année il a été étendu à d’autres professions du livre, et nos demoiselles ont été récompensées de leurs heures de travail, et nombreuses activités comme le café littéraire ou les ateliers.
C’est aussi un prix un peu huppé. On s’est ainsi retrouvé invités au restaurant de la closerie des lilas, que j’ai eu l’occasion de découvrir. Vraiment sympathique!

A most interesting word, and an insult isn’t it?
Yes!
One used during the Athenian Democracy, to describe a private individual not interested in the public affairs!
I’m beginning to love that word :-)

So do I (beginning to love that word).
Although they are periods in the lifetime of every individual when one could be excused for not taking part in public affairs very actively (because of family, work, ...)

I’m so happy with myself, I want to share some nice and easy code that can search and filter in a table.
Simple, nothing to add in your html but for the javascript file and a simple filterable class to set onto tables and to define with a color (or any other style you want).
<style>
.highlighted { background: yellow; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="attachment/file/filterTable/filterTable.js"/>
<table class="filterable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Title 1</th>
<th>Title 2</th>
<th>Title 3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data again</td>
<td>Data yet other</td>
<td>Data still</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Quel bonheur que de retrouver mon vieil ordinateur remis à neuf. Et sans que je débourse un seul euro ni même que je sorte de chez moi. Finalement l’assurance que j’avais prise il y a plus de deux ans s’est avérée utile.
C’est arrivé en plein milieu de vacances en famille et à la campagne, mon écran s’est arrêté de fonctionner. Il parait que ça arrive. J’ai bien démonté le tout, et bidouillé un fil par ci une vis par là, mais que dalle. Pourtant le signal passait quand je connectais l’ordi à un écran externe.
Coup de fil au fabricant pour vérifier s’ils avaient enregistré mon assurance et ce qu’il fallait faire. Après une heure de discussion, et je ne sais combien de redirections téléphoniques, ils acceptent de me le réparer. Un gars UPS vient prendre l’ordi et me le ramène une semaine plus tard.
Alors merci, merci à Hewlett Packard et à leur centre de réparation… allemand. Ils ont non seulement changé l’écran, mais aussi le disque dur, le touchpad et la carte mère. Une mauvaise surprise tout de même, en rebootant la bécane je découvre un horrible écran ms. Je leur avais pourtant mis un papier indiquant que j’utilisais une debian testing! Bon, au moins ça les a probablement fait sourire.
C’est l’occasion de me refaire une install, ce que je fais très très rarement car debian offre une incroyable maintenance du système (apt-get). Je bidouille le serveur dhcp de mon réseau interne et j’y place un serveur tftp qui sert une image debian stable. Après qq essais infructueux, un problème de chemins en fait, miracle le portable boot. Qq dizaines de minutes plus tard et autres apt-get et rsync, je retrouve mon environnement habituel: xterm, screen, mutt, irssi, ssh, rsync, gkrellm, sawfish, xplanet, firefox, vi, ctags, x2x, tvtime, xmltv. Quel bonheur! (http://emmanuel.charpentier.free.fr/image/capture.png)
Par contre ils n’ont sûrement pas changé le winmodem intégré. Il faudra encore que j’installe je ne sais quel driver conexant, et croiser les doigts quand je veux lire mes mails en famille. Plusieurs fois je me suis déjà retrouvé orphelin, et obligé d’utiliser le portable d’un de mes frangins, portable sous windows, et frérot qui se marre. Debian j’adore, mais les fabricants de matériel c’est pas encore tout à fait ça :-(

It’s a simple idea, it’s a grand idea, it’s one we don’t even consider because of an old consensus: it can’t be done! This is comprehensible, internet is full of holes which most certainly couldn’t stand the scrutiny of ferocious ambitions. Right?
And yet, voting through internet would bring into life the one true form of democracy: Direct Democracy.
Well, I think it can be done, rather easily if you consider the features involved: transparency to observe everything that happens, pgp signatures to sign and verify votes, electoral lists against which are calculated polls’ results.
The transparency should be total: no anonymity, you and I can see and observe everything. We can recalculate results and check votes, we can go to a person and verify her votes’ accuracy.
In fact everybody should be able to setup a mirror server at anytime. Which could be part of a larger cluster, and used just like the original node.
The votes going through this installation need to be tamper proof, what better way than to use an old and tested technology: pgp signatures. One sign his votes with his private key, everybody can check the origin of these signatures using the corresponding public key.
And now, how can we make sure that to one man correspond one and only one vote? It’s the internet, where everybody can be anything… so in fact we can’t. Instead we can add one bit of information to any poll’s result: the electoral list used to calculate the results. Thus anybody can manage his own lists with his own inscription processes. And if you don’t trust the manager, then feel free to create your own list and advertise it to the voters.
Wouldn’t you trust such a system? Simple, straight forward. It could even be implemented after a peer to peer fashion. Of course, as such, it lacks one important characteristic: privacy.
It can be regained through a third party trustee, vouching for your re-inscription under a pseudonym. The list of individuals demanding privacy and using this trustee must of course be strictly equal in number to the list of pseudonyms created using this same trustee. And just like anybody can setup a mirror server or an electoral list, anybody can be a trustee.
In fact all those elements can be implemented in a physical poll station where one can also observe what happens. There can be mirror servers, inscription onto an electoral list, generation of pseudonyms, signing and casting the vote.
What more would you need?
Of course it doesn’t resolve the one thing that may have been nagging at your thoughts since you started reading: is Direct Democracy the one true form of democracy? Yes! Of course it is!!! :-D

Will the votes remain secret, under such conditions ?
Further more, this way of voting will not prevent electors to give or sell their votes. They will just give their key to let some body else vote in their name…

Hi and glad to see another programmer willing to help us :>)
Anonymity is difficult. Some may fear trouble from employers, friends, family etc. so they may vote differently to appease these folks. This could cause very inaccurate elections.
Of course the “secret” election does not allow easy checking and it to is full of fraud.
Just a bit to think on.

Definitely. But as you can see, I do have some code and some concepts already implemented, which is always a difficult point when integrating a community.
Yet, I’m also quite open minded, as parlement should/could show itself. For example, it’s a forum and a mailing list. And eventually, it could also become a chat room and a news group. Or whatever else is available. Even a kind of wiki, a democratic one :)

I agree. Full transparency is a strength, which can actually increase the confidence we can have in elections. But that much information can also be too much on some individuals.
It’s the very consequence of internet, here information and its copying is very cheap. To introduce anonymity, we actually need to remove some information: the link between a person and its votes.
The easiest path I can envision, is to leave that bit of information in the hands of a trusted third party. One each voter can choose individually.
It’s not perfect, but it’s already a start…
+1
Yes and a start is what we need. The third party idea does cover identity. Perhaps a site would accommodate this.
The real deal is to get Initiative and Binding Referendum into our local and national governments.
Perhaps this system you offer could begin the needed petition(s)?
Tks, Bruce

As I consider this better way you have instituted, I like it more and more and it makes me very happy.
For instance, I have certain views on health, education, equality etc. I could perhaps find a person who had similar views in health, and was a “professional” in “natural” health. Than I could have them vote for me. I lean to generic and natural medicine.
If their votes displeased me they get replaced or I vote myself.
Also, there are issues I do not understand in depth. I could find a person with that knowledge I trust to do those issues.
This is exciting! I have tried to follow issues here in the USA and there are to many, and many I don’t particularly know about.
Yup you got a real deal here.
