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 --
