However, he believes that the federal government should not make any law one way or the other pertaining to abortion, because there is nothing in the Constitution pertaining to abortion one way or the other.
That makes me wonder if he would want to see Roe V. Wade overturned on the grounds that it puts undue restrictions on the laws states can pass.

The short answer is yes.
True communism would mean that everyone gives up all their posessions for use by the whole community.
Unfortunately this only works if nobody in the entire community has any greed. This can be done freely (See the Acts of the Apostles, FWIW) or by force (all modern "communist" nations, where the wealth got concentrated with the ruling class anyway).
Oh, that's nothing compared to what our Engineering Department did to us.
I had my freshman Intro to Programming class in C. MSVC, but still C since it was an intro class. (I feel sorry for the non-electrical engineers who had to take it in Visual Basic!)
Then, the next year, all of us who want to take the BRAND NEW Computer Engineering Curriculum take a class called Software Methodologies.
This class (and pretty much all subsequent ones) are now in Java.
That means all our knowledge of pointers is now null and void, and in addition we have to learn the language as we write a VERY large project. Needless to say, mine didn't work. (Still got an A because it almost worked though... fuzzy grading I guess)
In the CS department, my Data Structures class was in Java, but Operating Systems has so far been in C. There might be others involved, like maybe Fortran, as we might actually get to use our VAX for something more than a Web page storage system. I don't know yet. Ask me next week.
Of course, for Senior Design, we can use ALGOL-60 if it works for our project. It would be a bit tough to create an object-oriented GUI from that, though.
Is it really too much to ask for this guy to at least attempt to find some evidence for his claims?
I thought Al Gore was an idiot after those debates; at least George W. tried to sound reasonable (except for that "There's got to be a consequence" silliness)l. But this guy makes Al Gore sound like... well... George W.:-)
I'm actually now undecided between Harry Browne or Ralph Nader. The problem is I don't know whether to choose between strict adherence to the Constitution, or strong government controls on corporations.
That is, if I can vote at all... I've already registered in Indiana, but I go to college in Wisconsin. There's no chance of me getting to an Indiana Clerk's Office to vote absentee, but I don't know if I'm allowed to re-register in Wisconsin.
One thing is certain, though: Al Gore is the worst choice for President there could possibly be.
ALthough, this _is_ 5.1 I'm using since I'm on NetBSD, so OS/2 is probably gone, but still, you _can_ change the look. It's far from perfect though, as maximized windows still have the Windows buttons (why?!), but hey, now you can fix it!
This code morphing stuff does seem to have many strange effects. For example, how many times do you have to run a benchmark before the numbers stop changing?
More to the point, how many times will you run a benchmark before reporting the results? Kind of depends if you like Intel or Crusoe, doesn't it?
The Crusoe must be stopped before it renders ALL benchmarks useless!
All this shows is that even the slowest G400 is an order of magnitude faster than the s3 Virge/DX I have now, and more stable. Wish I had the time to fix that, though it might act even funnier on NetBSD than it does on Linux.

Right. Now if only they lower the price 80% and magically make all the x86 applications disappear, then I might begin to believe you.
Too bad those words are not actually contained in the Constitution, only the Declaration of Independence.
Not accurate.
Personally, Harry Browne is against abortion.
However, he believes that the federal government should not make any law one way or the other pertaining to abortion, because there is nothing in the Constitution pertaining to abortion one way or the other.
That makes me wonder if he would want to see Roe V. Wade overturned on the grounds that it puts undue restrictions on the laws states can pass.
Dunno, why don't you make that into an Ask Slashdot?
Will it be enough to run Doom III?

Why should I choose Nedit over gedit, XEmacs, emacs, vi, or ed?
What do we need 179 text editors for when we have ed, the STANDARD UNIX text editor??
Granted, all 179 are easier to use, but does that mean they're the standard?
Hmmm?
I'm sure we, as the Leaders of the Free World(TM), will think of something, assuming we ever get to that point.
Actually this is a two-parter:
1. Do you believe the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) is constitutional?
2. Do you believe the DMCA is in the consumer's best interest?
What if I want a bunch of true radicals who stand for Change with a capital boldface C??
Ahem...
Try Tools/Options, then select View.
Look what's in the "Look and Feel" listbox!

OS/2
XWindows

Huge.
Mosaic is neither; unfortunately it also has 1/100 the features.
It sounds like it.

Damn, beat me to that one.
All that shows is the submitter doesn't know physics.
But using "less" instead of "fewer" would save you a byte!

Now, you have no excuses...
That is... unless you want to drive a Realtek 8139 at full 100BaseTX speeds.

Blame Signal 11. It is obvious he drove the entire Slashdot crew to the brink of madness!

Never mind. Just moderate this comment then.
