Microsoft "Donates" $3,000,000,000 to U.S. Federal Candidates

Surreal quote from the news link below:

Quote:

Ballmer, who also had meetings on Capitol Hill, has spent the past 18 months attempting to improve the company's image. At the same time, the company has expanded its lobbying efforts and campaign giving, contributing nearly $3 billion in the 2002 election cycle, two-thirds of it to Republicans.

usleep

USLEEP(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						 USLEEP(3)

NAME

     usleep -- suspend execution for interval of microseconds

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     usleep(useconds_t microseconds);

DESCRIPTION

     The usleep() function suspends execution of the calling process until either the number of microseconds specified by microseconds have
     elapsed or a signal is delivered to the calling process and its action is to invoke a signal catching function or to terminate the process.
     The suspension time may be longer than requested due to the scheduling of other activity by the system.

     The microseconds argument must be less than 1,000,000.  If the value of microseconds is 0, then the call has no effect.

RETURN VALUES

     On successful completion, usleep() returns 0.  Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The usleep() function may fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The microseconds interval specified 1,000,000 or more microseconds.

SEE ALSO

     nanosleep(2), sleep(3)

STANDARDS

     The usleep() function conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 (``XPG4.2'').  It later appeared in the POSIX standard, but in
     IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (``POSIX.1'') it was marked as legacy and the use of nanosleep(2) was recommended instead.  The IEEE Std 1003.1-2008
     (``POSIX.1'') revision removed usleep() from the specification.

HISTORY

     The usleep() function appeared in 4.3BSD.
