McDermott's pledge error blamed on a childhood moment. Jim McDermott says he forgot to include the words "under god" when leading the House of Representatives in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. For shame Jim, next time do it on purpose.
Facts: The Pledge of Allegiance, originally written in the late 1800's, did not include the words "under god". These words were added by a Republican congress in 1954 at the height of the McCarthy era. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the phrase unconstitutional.
Isn't it time we reaffirmed America's commitment to freedom of and from religion and struck these words. All Americans deserve to be able to recite the Pledge without having their personal beliefs challenged.

Undocumented SourceSafe
The enable multiple checkouts setting can be applied on a project by project basis. Normally you select this in the Tools | Options | General tab in ssadmin.exe. Checking "allow multiple checkouts" enables this for your whole SourceSafe database. You can, however, edit the srcsafe.ini file for the database or the ss.ini file for a particular user to change this on a project by project basis. For example the following in srcsafe.ini enables multiple checkouts for the database except in the project $/Test.
; srcsafe.ini
;
; Global settings
Multiple_Checkouts = Yes
; Project settings
[$/]
[$/Test]
Multiple_Checkouts = No
