Was failure of the 1st batch of memory cards for the PCOS intentional??

[Galactus]

paging on ULS...baka meron bagong theory..

Bakit si uls? Dapat si OB/GM ang pine-page mo. Mas outlandish (at mas nakakasuka :puke yung mga theories nun, hehehe.

Di siguro puwedeng mag-comment si uls dito. Wala namang involved na oil, finance or money matter dito eh

no comment ako ngayon dito

all i can say about Smartmatic is -- if you have a hold-departure order on your ass, you better not screw up

I'm not buying it.

Comelec hackers? Those guys can barely even provide a good website for themselves, and as we all know majority of the employees there are old fashioned people. The government isn't really good in procuring the right people for IT projects most of the time. NBI could barely even catch "hackers".

Obviously Smartmatic really blundered on the flash cards. No project manager would have wanted something like that to happen, especially with the logistical nightmare that comes with it.

They simply overlooked the difference of the formatting of the new ballots since they were still basically using the old vertical sample ballots with no double-spacing every time they would do a demonstration.

They had enough people working the hours to be able to reconfigure the flash cards, so it wasn't really surprising.

A lot of those IT/security know-it-alls had been talking before the elections about cheating and vulnerability crap. Well, all they did was talk, talk, and talk.

uls, nasama mo ba itong topic sa mga theories mo? di ko maalala eh

[vito corleone]

kung totoo nga ito, it was a brilliant strategy to corrupt-proof the machines. . .naisahan ang comelec

thumbs up to smartmatic!. . .kung totoo, ha

[uls]

uls, nasama mo ba itong topic sa mga theories mo? di ko maalala eh

you mean mga scenario

hindi po

hindi ko po naisip na pwede planado ng Smartmatic ang last-minute change of memory cards

and i don't think anyone here thought of that before the elections

ikaw po ba naisip mo yun? (di ko maalala)

things are always clearer AFTER things happen

you can only understand an event perfectly AFTER the event happened

it's called 20/20 hindsight

in hindsight, magaling ang Smartmatic

they were able to pull off the gig

Assuming na totoo ang na-quote ng TS,- here is my comment on the highlighted,- Comelec can buy that particular service or expertise outside of their organization, with tons of money that they can collect from whoever wants to desperately win the election....

IMO, it was not overlooked.

The alibi of not having the 2nd page not in proper coding was unacceptable to any software developers. It raises a lot of eyebrows, knowing that a finished product would still have to pass QA/Test team and User acceptance testing before being deployed.

All we can conclude that day was it was an alibi to cover up security issues.

True, project outsiders all can do is to create scenarios and then comment. As for Smartmatic/TIM we should not expect full disclosure of security details since their main objective is to secure the entire system. BTW TIM our local company is serving most of the Banks and large government institutions with IT needs like backup mainframes and data processing. Smartmatic and TIM would protect their integrity as companies since they have large steady customers aside from COMELEC.. IMO.

If it was true, then it was a pretty good strategy by Smartmatic.

However, you can't use the same ruse 3 years from now when elections will once again come to fore.
