CA does not have no-fault insurance. There was a whole to-do with about 5 different ballot measures in the late 80s early 90s. The insurance companies were pushing no-fault. A different ballot measure (prop 103) won.
CA is a private at-fault insurance. I should know... I was just assessed 100% blame -- quite rightly -- for an accident (I backed into a parked car...:-( )
"I'll be damned if I'll trust my fate to 12 people who aren't even smart enought to get out of jury duty..."
Speaking as a former member of several juries, and as the foreman of one of those... Some of us are smart enough to get out of it if we want to, but realize that it's our civic duty.
Having used both (at work), I can safely say that I hate the VS.NET environment. The VS6 environment works better, is more "intuitive", and much less buggy. The only thing better about VS.NET is that the C++ compiler is closer to standards compliance.

Pournelle used to write everything XyWrite... then WordPerfect, and now he's stuck on Word.
If they can't even spell "Los Angeles" correctly, then how will they count the LA vote correctly?
It's a bug. They'll fix it in Microsoft MeltingIceShelf(tm) 2.0.
How about the Microsoft "We Own You" EULA patch with Win2K SP3?
Are you a mendicant?
Damn, beat me to it. For once, a story where a Beowulf cluster joke makes sense!
the guy on the cross next to Brian.
I believe he's credited as "Mr. Cheeky".

Except the 1.44 (and 2.88) MB floppy, where an MB is a 10^3*2^10...

just count how many times could light (or electricity) cross a PC case during one cycle of 2GHZ CPU
Easy way to remember. 1ns = 1foot. So during 1 cycle of a 2GHz CPU, light travels 6 inches.
Mandrake should let Club members download the non-adware ISOs.
Except the US was on Daylight Savings Time. And 4:11 EDT is only 8:11 GMT.
Actually, of those three conspiracy theories, I'd pick #2 (jack up prices). Remember California!

So, I buy the boxed distro, and make a copy for my buddy (I have that right under GPL).
Please cancel my MandrakeClub membership, effective immediately.
He probably stole that letter from secret SCO letters. I expect SCO to sue him for it any day. :-)
