I think this may infringe on the "look and feel" of an AT&T product,
and it's been patented by some guy Boole at UniSys. There are also
some export problems to deal with, and the ethical considerations of
limiting users to two choices. Maybe we should consider proportional
representation, or at least:

-- maybe.c --
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
if ( drand48() > 0.5 ) {
return exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
} else {
return exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
-- maybe.c --

[sorry, I couldn't resist]
