Larry Virden sent us this story about how Major Lague Baseball is gearing up to prevent hacking, such as last year when some jerk voted for Nomar Garciaparra 40,000 times or so with a Perl script. I say you catch them and string them all up by their toenails, but maybe that's a bit rash.
And thus the net's immune system cranks up....

Hey, I don't like getting sick either. But if the choice is dying, I'll settle for the sniffles.
So Pudge, a distributed votecasting script?

How about a distributed votecasting script, with a built in mailserver to verify the random email addresses it creates?
heh heh (now where did I put that
/24 block of ip addresses???)

I would never even consider such a thing!
I understand the hacker was a Masshole

Massholes.

The trick is to realize there is no perl.
