Those of us who've been posting at Kuro5hin for some years are aware that this site serves as one of the foremost intellectual fora of the present day. What may come as a surprise is that a number of academics recognize that fact, and cite Kuro5hin in their journal articles, conference proceedings, and book chapters.  Here I survey some of the more interesting ones I've come across.

I spent much of this afternoon in a mandatory (for poll workers) four hour training class on the Hart InterCivic eSlate voting system, soon to be in use in elections in my home county. (Hart InterCivic is a privately held firm out of Houston, specializing in election equipment and in software products for county records offices). Contrary to my previous impression, the machines are not touch screen machines, although they share some similarities.  I went into the class skeptical; I have been a critic of what I percieve as an unseemly rush to adopt insecure electronic voting systems. I emerged guardedly optimistic; the systems appear, from what I can tell, to be reasonably secure against vote manipulation by people who are not part of the election staff, and they appear to provide approximately the same level of security against election office malfeasance that paper ballots do. At the end of the day, if the election staff wants to tamper, they can; but that was true with paper ballots as well. That risk can be mitigated by election office procedures intended to mitigate it; in San Mateo County's case, those procedures have in some important regards not yet been established, as I will discuss below.

In the world of IT, words often don&#8217;t mean what you think they mean. While some may find it amusing to bewilder technophobes with technospeak, the prevalent use of insider terms actually has business -- and career -- consequences. At the very least, confusion over IT-related buzzwords can lead to miscommunications that breed frustration and waste time. At worst, it can engender serious battles between misunderstood parties that can end in litigation.
