In a normal election, the historic statistic is that roughly 2 percent of the votes are lost or miscounted no matter what the system. Thus, in an election where there are 60 million votes cast 1.2 million votes are effected. These votes could have gone either way and this degree of error is accepted by both sides. It is only in a close race that a recount is necessary. There was a study on this, that I am trying to find, that shows that overwhelmingly recounts do not change the result of the election.
I also want to know why inheritance, which I believe he implies by "sub-classing", is bad. Seems like they are now throwing out the building blocks of OO.
Wasn't that the election where it was so easy for all those dead people voted securely?
This is an execise in futility

There is no way he can collect every song ever recorded, since at least 50% of recorded music has been lost. Recording companies routinely destroy masters and any copies left of albums that don't sell. Disc jockeys throw out hundreds of cd's and lp's each month. None of this is ever captured so this fellow will never get them. He won't even know they existed.
We work in an educated country and salary slavery is just as wrong as outright slavery.
Not as far as the american public is concerned. Look at the recent election which gives a mandate to the people who promote wage slavery.
The speed of sound is used since it was once considered a "barrier" to air speed. When you reach that velocity you have significant resistance and create a "sonic boom". It is a traditional measure like hogsheads and furlongs.
Until the common Linux flavors have better support for USB and Firewire devices, people will keep getting frustrated with these implementations. Trying to fit in to the wintel box way of doing things is a slow process. It's been evolving for over 20 years. Now if Intel started to actively support Linux.......

It was one of the best teaching languages before OO took hold. For me it was much better than scheme or lisp type languages which were also popular at the time. I still remember the Pascal-like stuff in the original windows api.

I wonder if they have all those wind-up and battery powered toys that were popular in the 50's and 60's. Go Robbie!
and there are 17 million people in florida not 3 million

I'd rather get a cab ride from Corben Dallas.
Shelbyville now has a monorail

What are they doing to decrease the fragility of these media? Not much I'm afraid.

The same ignorant folks who still believe Sadaam ordered the 9/11 attacks probably will confuse hydrogen fuel with a fusion bomb.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhh
We sould digitize all these electronic votes so we can turn them into mp3's and download them. I wanna listen to Iowa!

They voted for Bush didn't they? 'nuff said.

If it gets any higher maybe Microsoft or Disney will buy them and start charging gobs of money.

Haven't we all heard this stuff before?
The spice must flow.
Especially the one with Slim Pikens riding the A bomb.
