Yeah. That's why amendment X is called the People's Rights amendment and not the State's Rights amendment. Oh wait...
If you fell for that in Gov. class, then I have a motion picture to sell you. Read it again. Its up to the state constitutions how they divvy up rights with the people.
If you look at the California constitution, article I sets forth the rights of the people. Its called DECLARATION OF RIGHTS.
You obviously haven't seen the attempts by the newspapers to prevent this illegal sharing of their copyright works to people who are not the original purchaser.
The Boston Globe, for example, has an advanced system for preventing you from giving your newspaper to someone else. They continue every damn article from the front page to some random other section of the paper, which you will never find unless you have the whole paper in its original order. It works way better than an EULA.
Close. Actually the states can pass any law they want restricting your rights EXCEPT those that are reserved by the constitution in the Bill of Rights. So unless I missed the article on filesharing, the constitution doesn't have any provisions covering providing email addresses.
Amendment X - Powers of the States and People.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I'm not so sure about the "simpler and more focused" argument. Commercial software is written to a Marketing spec of what can sell to a customer. OSS is written mostly for the enjoyment of the author(s). They can put in whatever feature they want. Look at emacs - a psychoanalyst and random Zippy quote generator (I love emacs), or Open Office - 215MB for the compressed source. This is why I tend to use abiword when I can.

Doesn't Partial Template Specialization generate a lot of overhead at runtime? I think that FORTRAN tends to get used for stuff like this because all of the data type manipulation gets eliminated at compile time. Caveat: I know equally little about C++ and modern FORTRAN compilers.
Well, that's the big unspoken problem about OSS. Everyone wants to develop, but nobody wants to do QA or write documentation. No glory. Commercial software development may have fewer eyes, but it gets formal QA and usually has a budget for running on the complete set of target systems.
As for testing security, its trying to prove a negative (you can't break this program). You can only find out that you're wrong, never know that you're right.
I tried calling it a DE-9 in a manual once, and all it did was generate support calls from customers who wanted to know if they could use a DB-9 instead. That battle has been lost. Also, if you recall, those connectors were called "subminiature D connectors" to distinguish them from the larger round bulkhead connectors. They don't look sub-miniature compared to the tiny stuff now. Interesting that a connector developed before Pioneer was launched, for power and audio signals is still in use for fibre channel.

It would be kind of surprising to find a new gravitational force that affects spacecraft but not comets. Comet returns have been predicted since 1758.
I think the explanation of a common defect in both craft (like the RTG mentioned above) is more likely. Another possibility would be that without the planets to sweep matter, there is a lot more dust and debris outside the solar system, slowing travel. Kind of like when you cross a state line into Pennsylvania.
However if you talk to large corporation where the apps running on everyone's desktop are tightly controlled by the IT department and said, "Guess what, you can make money by renting your 2000 unused CPUs every night instead of running 'Flying Toasters'" they might pay attention. Especially if it was open source so they could check that you weren't secretly stealing all the data off the hard drives. You would want the client to initiate connection on port 80 so it can pierce the firewall, and you would want companies that have fairly high bandwidth connections which also tend to be idle at night.
What non-mathematicians like us mistakenly believe to be a 3D sphere is a 2-dimensional surface in 3D space. So the mathematicians seem to refer to this surface as a 2-dimensional sphere. The hypersphere of interest to Poincare is the 3-dimensional surface in 4D space. He would call that a 3-dimensional sphere, had he been writing in English. But then, the first floor in French building is what Americans call the second floor, so we're off to a bad start anyway.
Hunh? I run a server on a network with port 25 blocked. Outbound mail smart hosted thru my ISP, inbound direct to my server. What's the problem with that? The only people who want to send a large volume of mail from a broadband connection are spammers. Oh, I include most "legitimate mailling lists" as spammers, because in my misguided opinion, they really are.
That gives me an even better idea. Its probably much easier to detect when someone blinks then to track eye motion. So just change a few words of text whenever they blink. I suspect the result could be pretty funny.
As for why people blink at a specific rate, and whether that changes based on level of concentration, that's been studied.
Possible explanations for the decreased blink rate include concentration on the task or a relatively limited range of eye movements. Although both book reading and computer work result in significantly decreased blink rates, a difference between them is that computer work usually requires a higher gaze angle, resulting in an increased rate of tear evaporation. Since the main route of tear elimination is through evaporation and the amount of evaporation roughly relates to eye opening, the higher gaze angle when viewing a computer screen results in faster tear loss. It is also likely that the higher gaze angle results in a greater percentage of blinks that are incomplete. It has been suggested that incomplete blinks are not effective because the tear layer being replenished is 'defective' and not a full tear layer."
Which suggests that my blink rate may go up now that I have bifocals, since I have to look through the bottom of them for close-up work (lower gaze angle). I think a lot of the dry eye that I get is from the a/c, anyway.
Interestingly it is also possible to do the reverse and just replace the letters at the fixation point with the letter x, but this is very frustrating to the reader.
Did anybody else feel like they wanted to get a copy of this program and set up an eye tracking camera on their computer? Maybe I took my evil pill this morning.
You might be thinking of the 40-round version of SHA-1 that got broken. Boring, since SHA-1 is 80 rounds.
The claim for MD5 is that there is a way to generate two messages with the same hash in much less time then previously thought. However, this is already known to be much simpler than generating a message that has a specific hash, which is the usual purpose of a hash function. RFC 1321 claims it takes 2^128 operations to do the latter, but only 2^64 for the former. I haven't seen a claim that finding a message with a given hash is any easier.
Any protocol that is worried about somebody creating two messages with the same hash function should not have been using MD5 alone anyway. 2^64 isn't as "big" as it used to be.

You seem to be under the misconception that there are national elections. Perhaps you should read the constitution. Each state runs its own election, counts its own ballots and has its own rules. Are you proposing that 100 election monitors (2 for each state) be provided at each polling place? How about if one state mandates electronic voting and another state forbids it?
In good software development, you check the return value of the open call. Windows is well known for not checking return values (like on malloc). Not sure what the response is for the Windows OpenFile call, but it sure would have been obvious in libc.

Misadvised developments like this are the reason that you need 3GHz processors to run applications that should run on a 486. Please name an application in which compositing gives a better user interface than tabs or just overlapping windows. Compositing makes it difficult to select elements or identify the source for screen objects. The supposed advantage (you can put more stuff on the screen at the same time) seems more like a disadvantage in most cases.
That was my point. *They tried to distinguish "DeCSS" from "a tamper-resistent seal" (for example) by inserting the word "effective" when they wrote the law. However, I believe that they shot themselves in the foot. It clearly renders the law meaningless.
