May 11, 2011 - You should really come to Estonia to understand how developed Estonia is in terms of IT.

May 11, 2011 - The P2P technology behind Skype was inveted by Estonians, who teamed up with the Swede and Dane you mentioned and formed the company Skype. These guys, Zennström and Friis were investors and founders of the company. The developers Heinla, Kasesalu and Tallinn were the developers of it AND also the people who had the idea. Before Skype, they used the same P2P technology to build Kazaa. After Kazaa was shut down, they decided to use it for a VoiP application that became Skype.
Oliarvis Says:
May 11, 2011 - Hmm no. The estonians were not the people who got the idea for it. The swede and dane were. Btw i'm not Swedish or danish, so i'm not rooting on any of them on purpose. As opposed to you guys.

May 12, 2011 - Dude, you have Denmark as the country on your Youtube profile. Pathetic. And provide some proof on your claims, otherwise it's just some random Dane's opinion that nobody cares about.

Aug 28, 2011 - Sad fact - the Internet voting, mentioned in this video, is in fact, really the only one in the world. But not because other countries arent advanced enough to make it. The thing is, such coutnries as USA, England, France, e.t.c. have thought of using this system, but have proven that it is too easy to exploit it, hence why they never used it. And with recent votes in Estonia, the question if the Internet voting is truly safe, has risen again.
dudegofuckyourselfok Says:
Aug 28, 2011 - Is paper voting truly safe?
Arto572 Says:
Sep 22, 2011 - Say ''South of Finland'' It's more accurate.
jaivenmsn Says:
Oct 14, 2011 - I've been to Estonia many times. I've seen most of the cities and small villages etc. The people of Estonia are a sensible people whom take pride in their advancements. Internet voting just comes naturally to them. It's a byproduct of the country's current direction. It's all part of the "new north" attitude. Paper ballot voting and wages by cheque are something for Russians and Americans.

Nov 8, 2011 - good for you..
1337pede Says:
Jan 22, 2012 - It hasn't been exploited so far. Traditional voting, however, very much.Why is it so that only Estonia uses it? It's because Estonia is small enough to do this without having a major threat of someone taking advantage of this system and because Estonian cyber-protection is far more advanced. The NATO's cyberdefence HQ is stationed in Estonia.
Alagremm Says:
Jan 22, 2012 - Really, it is located in Estonia? I had no idea. Kinda would have expected it to be in Brussel or somewhere like that.
