Not to keep picking on Diebold... OK maybe we should keep picking on Diebold. This is a great one. Seems like it should be hard, right? Well with this video, you can actually rig it in under 1 minute. You gotta see this.

After watching this, I'd be curious on your thoughts on whether this is really hacking or simply taking advantage of a built-in feature of the product? Either way, this should be seen by everyone considering buying these machines, or, better yet, by anyone asked to vote with one!
