Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." -Ed Howdershelt (Author) My web page: <http://coyoteden.dyndns-free.com:85/gene> is up! My views <http://www.armchairpatriot.com/What%20Has%20America%20Become.shtml> Parkinson's Fourth Law: The number of people in any working group tends to increase regardless of the amount of work to be done. A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
