    Actually, nature was placed under the GPL. To obtain the source code for the sponge, as in accordance with the GPL, send an email to sponge@nature.org.

    Of course this presumes that the sponge has not since declared the GPL invalid, and relicensed itself with an EULA similar to the SCO NDA.

    Do services such as the iTunes Music Store, Buy Music really represent the future of music like Steve Jobs and Scott Blum would like us to believe, or are they just another way to deliver music along with CD's, cassetes, and the radio?

  23. Re:About the deficit problem on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 1

    That theory only holds true if the rich spend as much as the poor.
    Example: one person makes $100,000 a year, and spends $40,000 of it. At a 25% sales tax, that equals out to 10% ot total earnings, whereas if someone was to earn $40,000 and spend it all it would equal out to 25% of total earnings.
    However, if we look at reality, assume that both people save the same amount, say 4%. The first guy spends $96,000, and pays $24,000 in taxes, a total of 24% of his paycheck. The other guy spends $38,400, and pays taxes of $9600, that is also 24% of his paycheck, making the system equal for all parties.

    I am not sure about resumes, but I remember that I had to put my SSN on some of the essays for my college application.
    I even remember having a teacher that insisted on us putting our SSN on our CS homework so she would be able to identify us easier. She even used to hand out it back by calling out the last 4 digits.
    Stupid idiot.
