The "Harry Roque vs COMELEC-Smartmatic" is not a similar matter to the "CenPEG vs COMELEC" case. The only thing similar is that both cases were brought to the Supreme Court. In the former case, Roque wanted the contract between COMELEC and Smartmatic-TIM declared null and void on several grounds, including questions on the 60-40% ownership, Smartmatic's control of our election, and the lack of pilot testing before full computerization. The Supreme court ruled in favor of COMELEC. In the latter case, CenPEG wants COMELEC to release the source code of the election programs (it is a mandamus petition), the source code that COMELEC has already committed to release to CenPEG in its own en-banc resolution. The Supreme Court still has to decide this case. Please verify your facts before making such careless statements, because such careless statements offend the sensibilities of some people in this list. ~Pablo Manalastas~ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
