I wonder how much I can squat asteriskcd.com and asterisk-cd.com, considering I just bought them.
By the way, anybody else use dirt-cheap <a href="http://joker.com">joker.com</a> for buying domain names? I do, and every time the Euro falls, I laugh, because it makes my domain names cheaper (always 12 Euros per DN, now that's like $10 and falling)
"The greatest thing a president can do is set an example for the people," Bush or Gore continued. "And as a devoted family man with a wonderful wife and [two or four] wonderful children, I promise to make the White House a place Americans can feel good about."
Basically the electoral college system works like this today. Every ten years the census figures adjusts how many representatives each state has. This number plus two, representing the two senators, equals how many electors each state has. Also DC has 3 electors. Then each state has the right to decide how to select these electors. Forty eight states use the general ticket system, two, Maine and Nebraska, use the district system. The general ticket system is suppose to operate as follows. There is a direct vote election held in each state and the winner of the vote is suppose to get all of that states electoral votes. In 24 states the electors are required to vote as pledged. In Maine and Nebraska there is an election held in each congressional district. The winner of every district gets one electoral vote, and the candidate with the most electoral votes gets the remaining two electoral votes. Then all of the votes are counted, and if a candidate gets more than half the votes, he/she becomes the new president. If there is no majority then the election gets thrown into the House of Representatives. There each state is given one vote and they vote on the top three candidates. If a candidate gets a majority vote, then he/she becomes president. If not they continue voting until a majority is reached and the speaker of the house become a temporary president until a majority is reached.
I write this reply from my night job at the University of Georgia. I am proud to report (for you) that the school is MUCH more open-minded than I found most of high school and you are far less likely to find 'perfects'. Gimme an email and I'll tell you more about what to expect at UGA when you start next fall.

The people on your ballot in your state will vary because in order to be put on the ballot, the candidate must get a cetrain requisite number of signatures (kinda like a petition) of residents of that state. In states where a candidate does not have much support and therefore would not win the state anyway, the candidate tends to not focus so much on a losing battle to get signatures.
Hope that helps.
The Write Only Memory Access Network takes of all of this useless T.R.A.S.H. (Things Requiring Additional Storage and Handling) and disposes of it for your protection. The W.O.M.A.N. is also proficient at meal preparation and F.O.D. (Fellatio On Demand).
In this country, at least, the system was designed so that laws could be changed or the system itself could and would be modified... Granted, our government is pretty closed source, as it were, (why geeks should run the world) but the point is that if they agree with most sane people that a patent on something so undeniably simple and non-innovative is a silly patent, then they should take it up with the courts, something they have the power to do and we do not. (Damn that was a long sentence) This would be the preferred, still legal, provided for in our Constitution, action instead of bending over and spreading the cheekstm for Apple.

The reason it is relevant is that it makes it obvious they are trying to cover their ass on this one. Amazon clearly does not want people to know that their prices do a magical switcheroo whenever you fit the profile of someone who will spend more. Their response when cornered about this practice, then, is "Some of our prices are wrong."
You are right. They are unrelated. But that's why it was posted, because there was no real answer given; their excuse was just a bunch of corporate fluff.

The Matrix to have two sequels

When I was with them (in the early days of cable modem service), I had the modem set up and shared the connection between our two similar home PCs and that way we could all sit down and access the internet at one time. I called techsup and had a question about the gateway software screwing with the ports on the host computer and he got all mad at me and told me I was not allowed to share the connection... I think the rule is there so you can't sell the connection or something... Maybe to your neighbor or get it in an apartment and share it with the whole building... That's how he explained it to me anyway.
Well, the problem is that I don't write papers for profit, nor do I turn them in to my PIAA-affiliated paper label to sell and give me 1/30 of what they sell it for because I have no other choice if I want my paper to be read. I instead turn in my papers that were not intended to EVER be sold, and somebody tries to make money off of them without giving me ANY cut. I don't make any money when I trade a song on Napster...
SNL doesn't use Celebrity Jeopardy really to make fun of the show, but instead to parody the certain celebrities and their level of intelligence. Maybe that's a bad example, but the point is, (IANAL) does the fair use policy bring into discussion the target of the parody, or if the work is used for parody and not profit, that's ok... Also, interesting point, since Geocities (Yahoo) puts an ad on the page, is it considered for profit and thus not fair use?

If you honestly thought that you had to explain on Slashdot that there are two Matrix sequels in the works, this must be your first day here.

If you create a filter that takes out major artist names, you're just going to see PH@ 80Y 5L1M and N_I_N_E_I_N_C_H_N_A_I_L_S, etc etc...
