why not place it in between those two points when the voter's hands are busy
making selections rather than pulling out voter cards prematurely? What
part of "the voter pulls the card out prior to it
flagging" [don't you understand] Glad
you asked. What I don't understand why you think the
"voter's hands being busy" will stop them from pulling out the voter
card while the ballot is on the screen any more then their hands
being busy pressing the cast ballot button. It doesn't matter when
they yank the card; it only matters that we flag the card before we
record the vote. "what's the harm in placing it long before the voter's
finished" that you don't understand. This
one I do understand. The answer is the harm in committing
development resources to a project that will not increase our
revenues, that will further delay solving the problem properly with a rewrite,
and that will not solve the problem Jeff Hallmark reported to you. For the
record, the current smart card driver is disaster. This was
mentioned in the message I attached. Its performance can be
increased 100-fold without resorting to asynchronous operation. Can
we not multi-task and run this routine in the background? We can
do just about anything. Ken |
