  • RE: The Reading Poll

    Jason Miller (7/24/2009)

  • RE: The Reading Poll

  • RE: Over-Engineering

    The trick is knowing how it will be used, and putting in error traps for expectable mistakes and misuses. The things you can't protect against are the things you don't...

    Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
