I was listening to a talk radio show the other day. The host said something somewhat profound. We are not fighting the war to win, we are fighting to not lose. There is a difference. Since the Korean war, this is pretty much the way we have been fighting wars, to not lose.
I was playing around with an old poker server that I had written and decided to make some changes. The way the client/server works is that client scrapes the screen and turns the current screen state into a message. This message is then dispatched to the server using MSMQ and the response to the message is the action to be taken by the client (do nothing, click a button, sit out, close the window etc…).
The fourth amendment is very important to us all. It says that the government cannot arbitrarily search you or you home. The government must conduct reasonable searches and they must have a reason to search in the first place (probable cause).
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
