I realize that, but in the information age, the rationale for the electoral college is antiquated at best, and has NOTHING to do with states rights. The current implementation of it in most states is little more than a gross perversion of what the founders intended.
Turning an argument about the electoral college into a states' rights argument is patently absurd.
just read pudge's journal and jamie's responses to his posts. and then the ensuing wars of words as they both explain how completely and wrong the other's arguments are.
when i was in high school, and everybody had their ti-85, quite a few people would write basic apps to solve problems for class. i, however didn't. i just learned how to use the calculator properly, and generally did things using the equation datatype and the built in solver. the people who wrote programs for the same things were generally more interested in telling everybody how they had written this great program to solve for pressure in the ideal gas law than they were in having a good, flexible solution to their problem.
i suppose the moral of the story is that people should lose their damn egos, and learn how to use their tools effectively.
that they sell source code instead of compiled code just makes it even funnier and more desparately pathetic that, in their press release, they made a reference to this ken thompson paper as proof that the "many eyes" theory doesn't hold.
you forgot one important detail: they did the "death of gwen stacy" story, except they removed both death and gwen stacy. (although i've heard that one of the tombstones in the graveyard is for gwen stacy which makes it even worse!)
would it really be so bad to not have mary jane play significantly in the first movie?
send me $20,000 and i'll see what i can do about arranging some orbital mass drivers to destroy the parts of the planet.that are in the way. (it's a fantastic deal because the people of sigma 81 are non-union.)
hell, if you kick in a little extra, i might try and solve the problem with that pesky 23 degree axis for you.
it's because of the draconian policies that the riaa has been using. $150,000 per song is at least three orders of magnitude too high. with that much to lose, they have assured that almost everybody whom they decide to target will settle. (which is probably even the smart thing to do if you look at it from a game theory perspective) so their patterns of abuse of the public are reinforced. plus, i've seen reports of at them suing at least three innocent people, and in one of those cases, they even refused to drop the charges.
oh, and go find any of the millions of rants about how slashdot is not a single entity, and is actually a group of people with diverse opinions. you seem to need to read it.
use strtol, strtoll, strtoul, strtoull, strtof, strtod, and/or strtold. they're much better functions. all of them except strtol, strtoul and strtod are relatively recent additions, though, so you might want to stick to those 3 for now.
I mean, I hate software patents as much as the next guy, but spammers have been winning for a decade now.
okay, so i'm being a bit pedantic here, but the first known spam was sent on april 11th, 1994. that's almost a year short of a decade. plus, that's when the first spam was sent, not when they started to win.
God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

with any luck, the comics will come back into print in a cross-promotion with the game. As great as the original game was, it had nothing on the comics.
I have the color special, but I didn't know about the "surfin' the highway" collection until it was out of print, and I've never been able to find a copy.

it's because whoever prepared the interview uses the <i> tag before the <p> tag, and doesn't bother to close the <p> tags.
this causes problems because of the vagueness of how unclosed <p> tags work. one possible interpretation is to call it a singleton element that means put a paragraph here, much like how <br> works. the other way is to implicitly close each paragraph at the start of the next paragraph.
under the first interpretation, this html is valid, and should render with all the intended text italicized. under the seccond, the html is malformed, and the <i> tag would be implicitly closed at the beginning of the next paragraph, because the enclosing tag is closed.
i couldn't find a refenrence in the html 4 specs as to which interpretation is correct, but xhtml requires the closing tag, and the list of differences between html 4 and xhtml implies that the second interpretation is correct. of course, since IE doesn't enforce structure of documents, it ought to render as intended in IE, instead of rendering according to the specs.
funny; i call that "the voltron effect". i know far too many people who were voltron fans in their youth, only to have their pleasant memories of giant humanoid robots formed from smaller robotic lions shattered by actually seeing it again.
i wish i could see "jayce and the wheeled warriors" again, just to determine if that show also induces the voltron effect. unfortunately, i've only met a hand full of people that even remember it.
you put this in your access map:
"AuthInfo:smtp.server.of.your.isp "U:foo" "I:foo" "P:bar"" although you might need to know realms and/or mechanisms, too.
next time, at least check to see if it's an easy answer before you get belligerent and sarcastic.
the most obvious answer is the sedition act of 1798, but there are countless others. it looks like the avalon project is a pretty good resource for that sort of thing. there's a list of united states statutes pertaining to human rights here, but it's not exactly a complete list. there are plenty of rights-violating laws that aren't listed.
the gnutella protocol was designed and originally implemented by nullsoft. nullsoft is owned by aol. aol ordered the cancellation of this project shortly after they learned of its existence, which was about the same time that the entire world learned about it.
i don't think they want to be associated with that intellectual property.
never reply to your spam mail. sometimes the address will be forged, and you'll be harassing some poor shmuck. sometimes you're just replying to a bot that notes you as a valid email address. plus, if you do wind up on a spammer's bad side, you're probably more likely to be the victim of a forged address.
by replying to spam, you're betting that your spammer is ethical. do you really want to make that bet?
it still applies. you'd have to flip the bit in every audio frame header. i looked at doing this sort of thing a while ago, but decided that i didn't have time to do one with all the features i wanted to put in. now that i'm out of school i just might, though.

i found a solution, but it won't fit in this comment.

now states rights is an argument for the electoral college? what the fuck is in your pipe?

this gets a little more interesting with the context that, in j. michael straczynski's current run, spider-man is now a middle-school teacher.
