It also makes you wonder who is really calling these states? CNN changes FL from gore to undecided, then NBC and the others follow suit a couple of minutes later.
The the electoral vote is insufficient to pick a winner, the decision goes to the house. The president of the house can veto any decision by the house. It just so happens that the house president is Gore.
So, to answer your question, if no candidate is selected via the electoral college, then Gore votes himself in.
actually, if there were some way to inject the data from the CNN website into my cache network, then my customers would have up to the second pages with very little cache corruption...
If they let me pay by the day/week/month/year, then maybe. I can't say that I would want to fork out the 60 some bucks that it would take for an entire year (I didn't spend that much on cd's before napster came along).
Now, if I could buy a weeks worth of access for $3.00, then I probably would (and saturate my pipe for as long as possible).
I don't think the subscription thing will fly. If the courts say that they have to pay royalties, then they will have to charge per download, and that can get expensive...
Then no thanks. I tried IE for Solaris about a year ago. Any piece of software that seg faults because you hit the "compose" button is not for me. I'll stick with Gnumeri, AbiWord, pine, and vi thank you.
I am all for the RBL. my mail servers stopped 60 spams yesterday and 30 already today. Who knows how many got through, but that is 60 spams that I didn't get:)
DWDM is the process of dumping multiple wavelengths of light into a single fiber. DWDM has been in use for quite some time. The problem was how to get that many colors into a single fiber and then be able to detect it when it comes out the other side.
SUMMARY AS OF: 10/20/1999--Introduced. Unsolicited Electronic Mail Act of 1999 - Authorizes any person, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of his or her children, to file with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a statement that he or she desires to receive no unsolicited commercial electronic mail (e-mail), unsolicited pandering (erotically arousing or sexually provocative) e-mail, or both. Directs the FCC to: (1) maintain and keep a current list of such filers; and (2) make such list available to any person, upon reasonable terms and conditions, including a service charge for such list. Prohibits any person from initiating the transmission of any unsolicited commercial or pandering e-mail to an individual whose name and e-mail address has been on such list for more than 30 days. Prohibits any other use of such list.
Prohibits any person from sending an unsolicited commercial or pandering e-mail message unless the message contains a conspicuous reply e-mail address to which a recipient may send notice of a desire not to receive further messages. Subjects to an FCC order to discontinue any person who transmits such a message after such an objection. Directs the FCC, upon request, to include in such an order the names and e-mail addresses of any children of an objecting recipient.
Provides a private right of action, or an action by the FCC, against an e-mail initiator who violates the above requirements.
Authorizes an interactive computer service provider to establish and enforce policies that are nondiscriminatory on the basis of content regarding unsolicited commercial e-mail. Authorizes such provider to decline to transmit such messages to subscribers without compensation from the sender. Requires a provider to notify the violator of such policy in writing and request compliance. Makes subject to the same FCC order as above a violator who sends such messages after provider notification. Provides a private right of action by a provider, or an action by the FCC, upon an e-mail initiator who violates such requirements.
Requires the FCC to report to Congress on the effectiveness and enforcement of this Act.
As a alumn of this illustrious college, I believe that the joke was:
When John Deere came in and gave the department all new PC's (with the John Deere Logo on it of course), it was questioned, "How many computers does it take to buy a Computer Science Department."
I my opinion, ADA is about as worthless as Visual Basic or Latin. Mumps was more elegant than Ada.
I agree. Why should it be illegal for me to use these programs against my own user base?
I am guilty. Come arrest me. I used "crack" today (actually I ran a password cracker against my/etc/passwd file to see which users had easily guessed passwords and to notify them of this).
They tried this in CF, Iowa, but there is a state law that says that only the States Attorney can defined what is pornographic or not. I am sure they are busy enough that they don't have to filter through thousands and thousands of sites looking for the "bad stuff".
The librarians here said that they feel a gentle reminder when someone goes to an area that they feel is inappropriat for public consumpsution is enough.
I work at a Municipal Utility / Cable Modem ISP. What the Power Side of the operation (and the entire MAPP / Midwest Area Power Pool - Canada to Misouri) fears is either people will use too much electricty or not enough. The generators that are part of a power pool can only generate as much electricty as is being consumed. When you turn a light on, a generator somewhere produces a little more electricty.
Now, the problem with this is: At midnight, everyone turns every single electrical appliance on. Since it can take up to 8 hours for a plant to come fully online (and most are not black start plants and require external power to start), there would be a delay in the production of power, lines would trip, and the power pool would turn into a bunch of islands with many people without power.
Or, nobody does anything and the grid continues to be underused.
And what do you think people will do when midnight hits? Some of the lamer ones will be grabbing their telephones to see if they work. Not every telephone in the nation was meant to be offhook at the same time. So, everyone pickup a phone at midnight:)
I agree. It is difficult in C or C++ to do regular expressions easily (at least for me).
Now, the main reason that I love perl is that it is easy to whip something up for a CGI (demo or production) and not have to worry about seg faulting when strtok() is used incorrectly or you try to pop a token off of the end of a string and it isn't there. Perl complains, but doesn't drop core.
Plus, up till now, there wasn't an API for MySQL (I may be wrong - I know that one for C++ was released). It is a lot easier to interface perl with MySQL (Or Oracle for that matter) and not have to use an embedded SQL like oracle provides. There is just something about having to null terminate a character array after doing a select that I just do not like.
We have 4 Cobalt CacheRaqs and a Cobalt WebRaq. These things are great. 3 of our cache raqs and out web raq have been up for over 190 days without a problem. The only reason that we had to reboot them was to throw a custom kernel from Cobalt on them for gated and assorteds.
Slashdot Mirror
looking like a tight race...
has anyone noticed that CNN reports Gore at 231 EVs when the website reports 230?
Ok, who has the off-by-one error?
gore takes the lead with a win in california.
i'm still pulling for George though...
My mistake. take all of my references to house and change them to senate. Thanks to sneak241 for the heads up...
It also makes you wonder who is really calling these states? CNN changes FL from gore to undecided, then NBC and the others follow suit a couple of minutes later.
kind of makes you wonder...
nader has 2% right now. You can see the election stats here.
The the electoral vote is insufficient to pick a winner, the decision goes to the house. The president of the house can veto any decision by the house. It just so happens that the house president is Gore.
So, to answer your question, if no candidate is selected via the electoral college, then Gore votes himself in.
They say they are going to carry 5 or 6 of the last 10 states.
Does anyone else think that the electoral college needs to be axed?
actually, if there were some way to inject the data from the CNN website into my cache network, then my customers would have up to the second pages with very little cache corruption...
it looks better thatn a John Madden yellow x's and o's and much better than the cheesy laser pointer that was on fox.
The same thing happened in florida, but CNN fixed that one.
I was just about to leave the same comment.
One would think that you would see a little more accuracy from the Discovery Channel.

Yes, they have provided the source. I even have the home/work telephone number for their chief software engineer.
Their support has been nothing but excellent!
