It seems obvious, the end of chip has pins. The chip it will eventually connect to has pins. Instead of having 20 trace lines to the next chip why not redesign them so the out/inputs of both line up to reduce the complexity of the design.

SECURITY: Fix a buffer overflow in address parsing. Problem
detected by Michal Zalewski, patch from Todd C. Miller
of Courtesan Consulting.
Fix a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing. This problem
is not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration;
only if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or
mailer-specific envelope recipients rulesets are used then
a problem may occur. Problem noted by Timo Sirainen.
Accept 0 (and 0/0) as valid input for set MaxMimeHeaderLength.
Problem noted by Thomas Schulz.
Add several checks to avoid (theoretical) buffer over/underflows.
Properly count message size when performing 7->8 or 8->7 bit MIME
conversions. Problem noted by Werner Wiethege.
Properly compute message priority based on size of entire message,
not just header. Problem noted by Axel Holscher.
Reset SevenBitInput to its configured value between SMTP
transactions for broken clients which do not properly
announce 8 bit data. Problem noted by Stefan Roehrich.
Set {addr_type} during queue runs when processing recipients.
Based on patch from Arne Jansen.
Better error handling in case of (very unlikely) queue-id conflicts.
Perform better error recovery for address parsing, e.g., when
encountering a comment that is too long. Problem noted by
Tanel Kokk, Union Bank of Estonia.
Add ':' to the allowed character list for bogus HELO/EHLO
checking. It is used for IPv6 domain literals. Patch from
Iwaizako Takahiro of FreeBit Co., Ltd.
Reset SASL connection context after a failed authentication attempt.
Based on patch from Rob Siemborski of CMU.
Check Berkeley DB compile time version against run time version
to make sure they match.
Do not attempt AAAA (IPv6) DNS lookups if IPv6 is not enabled
in the kernel.
When a milter adds recipients and one of them causes an error,
do not ignore the other recipients. Problem noted by
Bart Duchesne.
CONFIG: Use specified SMTP error code in mailertable entries which
lack a DSN, i.e., "error:### Text". Problem noted by
Craig Hunt.
CONFIG: Call Local_trust_auth with the correct argument. Patch
from Jerome Borsboom.
CONTRIB: Better handling of temporary filenames for doublebounce.pl
and expn.pl to avoid file overwrites, etc. Patches from
Richard A. Nelson of Debian and Paul Szabo.
MAIL.LOCAL: Fix obscure race condition that could lead to an
improper mailbox truncation if close() fails after the
mailbox is fsync()'ed and a new message is delivered
after the close() and before the truncate().
MAIL.LOCAL: If mail delivery fails, do not leave behind a
stale lockfile (which is ignored after the lock timeout).
Patch from Oleg Bulyzhin of Cronyx Plus LLC.
Portability:
Port for AIX 5.2. Thanks to Steve Hubert of University
of Washington for providing access to a computer
with AIX 5.2.
setreuid(2) works on OpenBSD 3.3. Patch from
Todd C. Miller of Courtesan Consulting.
Allow for custom definition of SMRSH_CMDDIR and SMRSH_PATH
on all operating systems. Patch from Robert Harker
of Harker Systems.
Use strerror(3) on Linux. If this causes a problem on
your Linux distribution, compile with
-DHASSTRERROR=0 and tell sendmail.org about it.

OK... So I'm blind.. Make the website talk to me so I can find the "code word"
I'm deaf.... Now what?
How about that website doesn't get business from those who are handicapped (is that still the kosher PC term?)
I don't force sites that don't have SSL to use SSL so I can use them... I JUST DON'T USE THEM...
Everything isn't made to fit everyone..
My butcher isn't going to start a produce section for vegetarians
My barber isn't going to start a hair replacement facilty for bald people (not a bad business idea though)?
and My office isn't gonna start using Linux because I say so (had to throw that one in)
I don't believe any of these websites are "public services" so if they don't wish to cater to this specific demographic (is that more PC or less?) then they simply don't get their business. If my website sells tools that help those who are disabled use the web you'll damn well bet my website is able to be viewed by their machines. If I'm selling video game systems, I dunno but, probably not....
Imagine mcdonald wanting to be a better franchise and hired annoying teenagers to cause problems in and outside the restaurant to see how they can improve.
Somewhat off topic... But, imagine the fun of a job where McD's paid you to reak havoc in Burger King and Wendy's resturants:-P
I wonder what the interview for that job would consist of...
I see alot of "I can boot linux into matnience mode and do whatever I want" and physical access restrictions etc...
All true but, the application of XP was for desktop use -> Server Use. Linux (don't flame) is being primarily used for backend server systems. I don't see many secretaries choosing what boot level to start up in the morning.
XP was supposed to provide a secure desktop enviroment for a networked organization (Enterprise Offices, Schools, Universities, Etc..)
The fact that I can walk up to any (supposedly) secure desktop (that access isn't always tightly safegaurded) and gain Administrative Access (usually meaning also access to your entire network behind the firewall) is a big deal. Especially since it requires nothing less than the previous version of the software.
Look more carefully at the big picture before spouting off the party line....

Is it just me or can we stop the Top 5 reasons...
Let's do it before I start imagining a beuwolf cluster of these damn things..
Just because you put resources into making something does not mean it has value.
Of course... I completely understand this.. If I take a $30k diamond and crush it, I put $30k into it but, I certainly won't get $30k out of it. But, that wasn't my original quote. My original quote was that produced music is an "item that really does have actual value".
This is to say that a master recording of a song has a value. Not of it, itself physically but, in potential sales.
Now.. the "artifical scarcites"... I really like that phrase. I'm adding it to my vernacular for other uses. In this case though although artifically (I will agree. The only reason they have value is because of the protection offered by law) inflated in value, it is a valid law on the face. Regardless of your opinions of IP music, code, and manifestation of the human mind is attributed to it's creator, like it or not. If you compose a classic piece of music you own it. You own the specific arrangement of notes and chords.... Why? Because it is of your creation....
Why is this important? Without some protection of IP there would be no desire to create IP. If in your head you had an idea for a program that has great fiscal possibilties for you (Make you the next Bill Gates) would you bother investing your time and your energy into something that you could never profit from? I don't think so... The IP laws (the original ones) are there to protect peoples idea's in order to encourage them to create more ideas. Without this fundemental right to ones own ideas progress would stagnate.

I am a Libertarian I don't believe in music piracy I do believe in P2P. I disagree with how the RIAA/MPAA is trying to solve their problem.
If you don't agree w/ me, reply. I agree w/ the idea of copyprotected music. It is a produced object. Something that has time and money invested to produce an item that really does have actual value. If I produced a song that I specifically did not want to give away for free, I would try to keep it off P2P networks. I would contact those who are sharing these files and explain that they don't have permission from me to distribute this.
Now, let me step back and say. I do understand fair use. If you purchase my CD and rip it to MP3 that's fine. You purchased the CD, you purchase the rights to listen to the music but, you did not purchase the rights to re-distribute my works in a way I don't see fit.
OK.. Now step forward again. Why don't I like the way the MPAA/RIAA is protecting their property. There are/have been laws on the books that protect the copyright holders rights to published works. These laws explicity spelled out the fair uses of these works as well as protecting the creators. These laws worked for years on end. The change in technology didn't change the laws. The change in technology didn't make these laws less effective. You could easily still bring suit against a P2P user for sharing your music under the current legal system, it's just harder to do. So instead of attempting to protect their rights the hard way they simply bought laws to help them. These laws(DMCA, etc.) are what I have a problem with.
I abhor the creation of laws that violate my rights in any way shape or form. It is not the purpose of government to pick and choose winners by passing favorable laws it is the purpose of government to protect my rights.
