Tip of the day: Speech is silver; Silence is golden.

Since we were talking of disaster recovery mechanisms earlier, here
is a situation a well-formed plan would have helped greatly:
The announcement of the results of Mali's presidential election on 28 Apr
2002 has been suspended after a computer technician had a car accident,
election officials have said. He is the only person with the password to
access the election centre's computers. The technician was reportedly
recovering in the hospital.
Details from BBC at:

This raises some interesting questions:
What if he had died? No results? Or would they have hired people to
hack into the computers to get at the results? Wouldn't such people
be also able to change the results?
