Not my company. Every year I get striped of more and more benefits. My insurance premium goes up and it's coverage goes down. Raises seem to get smaller and bonuses are smaller if they happen at all. Google goes far beyond what normal companies do. While they don't provide the best of everything, they do a lot of stuff 95% of companies don't. I think you're just pissed off because you probably applied at Google and got rejected.:P
Playing games is a 95% waste of time. The 5% it's not is because he does have some good effects like sharping your thought processing skills. Especially, if you play a fast paced game. On the other hand, if you are spending several hours a week playing games; your are wasting your potential and your life....but some people prefer their life to only be virtually cool rather than actually cool.
One word. Lobbyist. How many times have you heard about the fights to stop the propagation of the FreeNets? These companies don't want to competition and they damn sure don't want someone to give the people something free that they could be charging for! Capitalism makes everyone rich, Capitalism not held in check makes *everyone else* poor.
If you release your source code freely to the public, you can't resend that offering. This was used against SCO Caldera in there attack on Linux. They were allowing free downloading of what they claimed was there private IP included in the Linux kernel. They couldn't resend that fact.
While I have experience with Sage products and hate them just as much as you do for the same reasons and more. One thing that has become clear is they do what you need of them when they aren't screwing up for some weird reason. On the other hand, attempting to use an OSS product for such an important task can be 100 times worse. If you are just a 1 to 20 man company, you might be able to get away with it. When you are larger, (to use a cliche created for women) Hell has no fury like a CFO using using a lame ass piece of shit accounting package!!!
The point is, no matter how much I hate Sage Software, there accounting packages do the job. Thats a lot more than can be said for some of the OSS accounting packages.
The finding is that Google's cache offers effectively free access to articles that, while free initially, are archived and charged for via subscriptions.
The way I see it, once you release media free of charge to the general public its content becomes public domain.
In MajorMUD, I loved Half-Ogre Mages. They had TONS of HPs for a mage. All you had to do was max out the INT and and Health and you were set! Well, until they *fix* it. I haven't played MajorMUD probably 7ish years.

Everyone used to say, MS keeps adding features and not taking care of security, now someone is complaining that it isn't the other way around. Just makes me want to laugh.
Possibly, but that would mean both DVDEmpire and GameSpot both are mathematically inept. Of course DVDEmpire being mathematically inept could be the reason they are failing at game sales. Knowning how the game industry is though, I doubt it.
This isn't what it actually says on their website.
Here is what I saw: Take a $400 console; we only make $5 on the salethat is a 1.25% gross margin. The game companies make their profit selling to us. We make no profit selling to you.
With Oracle's plans on stealing business looming, investors are going to question dropping money into a company like this. I think Oracle should just release the standard edition for free without support and forget its dreams of trying to hijack other company's products. Ellison is starting to grasp at straws.
Yes, it will still rain. The question is, what effect will it have overall. Removing moisture from the atmosphere on a large scale will have an effect on the overall weather. Just as warming/cooling water effects the weather, so will airborne moisture levels. My guess is that it will be minimal. At any one time, there could be hundreds of trillions of gallons/liters of moisture in the atmosphere. Even if 3 million households extracted 100 gallons/liters a day in a urban area, (300 million gallons/liters) it would make a very small dent in the overall moisture levels. The surface area is rather small for large scale weather effecting moisture extraction IMO anyhow.
C_Kode Software is releasing a new version of the MySQL Database. Very Unbreakable MySQL (V.U.M.) MySQL. This will be based of anything that we like and will prove to be better because I said it was. It will be very fast. We like to call it Vroom VUM! Does your app VUM? If not, shell out $50 a year to me and I will allow you to tell anyone your app VUMs.
I've known this for a long time. I like Gentoo, I just don't like the overhead that comes with it. (compile time) In my current position, all the Linux servers were Gentoo. I'm slowly replacing them with Redhat Fedora or RHEL depending on the job they preform. One of the Gentoo boxes was being attacked so I off-lined it, imaged it onto identical hardware to run an update on it (it wouldn't update until I put the new profile on it 2006.0?) and see how it went. Everything stopped functioning as it had. Needless to say, it now runs Fedora and I update what needs to be updated and thats it.
I like Gentoo, but in a production environment. It's way of doing things becomes a real issue.
In this case, why couldn't Myspace send Fyodor a letter asking for the content to be removed? Why didn't GoDaddy ask Myspace that question?
I don't think sending a letter to Fyodor was the answer. They had 250,000 compromised accounts. It wasn't the time to fire off a letter and sit and wait to see what happens. If you had a company and 250,000 accounts were compromised, I hope you would have been as assertive. It's not just important for your customers, it's important for your business as a whole.
Remember, Fyodor had done nothing wrong.
I don't recall anyone saying Fyodor did anything wrong. All I remember is a lot of people saying it was wrong to try and block propagation of private customer information. Which is why I brought up SS#, credit card information, etc. It's private information that isn't supposed to be on public display. It's not an issue with people until it's their information that on public display.
How exactly do you as the hosting provider handle such a thing? I believe GoDaddy did the right thing to a point. They should have taken it down immediately, but should have tried to contact Fyodor immediately also. What you have to remember is it was listing user names and passwords of 250,000 MySpace users. I'm not a fan of MySpace or GoDaddy, but they did the right thing no matter how you feel about it. What if someone posted your account information (banking, email, FTP, unix, , SS#, etc) along with 250,000 other peoples on Google's home page along with any other prevalent information. Would you prefer your information be displayed for hours if the hosting provider could not get a hold of Google for the next seven hours, or shut it down immediately to stop the flow of that information and would (or *should*) get Google's attention quickly.
I don't know how much of an effort they made to contact Fyodor, but I don't think taking down that information was wrong.
We have a 46' Samsung DLP that we've had for almost two years now. The kids watch Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network about 8 hours a day, then I or my wife (mostly my wife) watches maybe 2 hours a day. So far we haven't had an issue. The TV is great. When we bought it, the guy said get the extended (to 3 years) warranty at $150US. He said that the bulb last about 2 years under heavy use and that it cost about $150 to change and was covered under the warranty. That way if something did happen to the TV within three years it would be fix for the price of replacing the first bulb.
The best thing about DLP TVs is that they don't get burn-in video games or other images left on the screen for to long like other types of TVs (tube, plasma, LCD or other types of projection TVs) It's the main reason we choose DLP in the first place.
This could be great for disk to disk backups, but could you actually use something like this for normal everyday use? The seek time would be outrageous.

Don't even think about using Sage products.

Does anyone actually still play MajorMUD?
This is a general HOWTO, nothing directly related to Ubuntu.
Why? Commercialism killed Netscape. Let it die. There are so many better options today.
