  1. Not so obvious: HP will undercut Apple's pricing by iamhassi · · Score: 1 · on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS
    "It seems obvious that part of the licensing deal would stipulate that HP cannot undercut Apple's pricing. I would be shocked to see any HP models with anything but the same capacities as Apple's at the same prices. And if anything, they'll be physically bigger, or won't look as nice. Apple's going to keep the high ground somehow."

    Then prepare to be shocked: Apple licensed out the MacOS back in the mid to late 90s and overnight several clone manufactures popped up. The machines didn't look as good as Apples but they were much cheaper, roughly 25% cheaper. Apple lost lots of money on the deal.

    I have no doubt we'll see HP hPods in the same capacities of iPods for half the cost. Might not look as nice, but I never considered a mp3 player to be a fashion statement.

  2. Link Exchange by musique · · Score: 1 · on Ad Network Not Paying Up
    That's why I liked the Link Enchange. Your ads get displayed based on the number of hits to your site. No one gets charged. (Not sure how you make money off of this!--premimum ads?)

    Of course, since Microsoft bought it, I see a lot more Microsoft, MSN, and even Link Exchange ads. They've gotten rid of the link exchange web site and hidden the directory so well that I can't find it anymore. Microsoft is their own worst enemy.

  3. My Experiences by MathJMendl · · Score: 1 · on On Handling Web Site Legalities?

    My homepage gets maybe 10 hits per day and has nothing offensive, so the possibility of people suing me because of it seems remote. On the other hand, the TI-89 section of my webpage gets 200 hits per day. I was recently thinking about this and the fact that it had no Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. Thus, I did a little research and wrote a temporary one. I sort of "borrowed" a bit of the disclaimer from various sites and shifted the wording. This shouldn't matter much, however, since some of the wording is likely standard in many site's policies. For the Privacy Policy, I went to Micro$oft BCentral's page, which had a wizard that automatically creates a privacy policy. Thus, my disclaimer and privacy policy were born. I think that they will be temporary, however, as you can just bet that M$ set up some hole inside of its policy generator in order to let it sue anyone (although TRUSTe was a sponsor of the generator); plus, the modifications might not be worded correctly and could have created loopholes. Anyway, for the long term, TRUSTe has a lot of information about what you need in a privacy policy and it will certify your site for you. Plus, I think that the disclaimer at GNU might be able to be adapted for a disclaimer or a terms of service. "Borrowing" a policy from another site might not be entirely legal but it is ok to borrow GNU's license. I think that creating your own policies is a good idea but you shouldn't have to hire professionals if you just have a site as a hobby and writing your own might create holes in it if you miss certain things. Also, as for avoiding lawsuits, you can put a clause on your site forcing people to pay for your lawyers in any lawsuit that occurs due because of their improper use of your site as dictated by your policy. Then if they lose, which they likely will in a lawsuit of this type, they can pay for your lawyers.

  4. Moderate this up! by ToLu+the+Happy+Furby · · Score: 2 · on Vendetta: A Christmas Story

    If anything deserves to be moderated up in this godforsaken thread, it's this post--I've been looking for a functional mirror on and off all day. Not that I expect this movie'll be all that good, but I keep getting timed out from the mirror at Newgrounds and at this point I just want to see what I've been wasting all this time on. But, since I don't have any moderator points, I guess the least I can do is give it my +1 bonus.

    Hey all.
    I'm (one of) the idiot(s) responsible for Vendetta.
    I'm currently visiting family, and my server is on the other side of the country. It is dead. There is another copy of the entire film at my machine at work - we'll see how long that one survives.
    I am truly sorry about the sorenson thing - I had no idea anyone would watch it at all, let alone the entire slashdot community.
    If anyone can convert it to another format, they are welcome to do so.
    Peace, Happy holidays, and thanks.

  6. Re: FreeBSD? Unfortunately not a NT market threat by dmz · · Score: 1 · on NOS Crossroads

    >>sadly BSD's are not currently in the position to threat NT's dominance... The real sad thing is that MS is already a heavy BSD user with Link Exchange, and people like Yahoo
    depend on Free BSD to make their operations not only cost effective, but runable & stable!
