People who are jobless, looking for jobs, and available for work are unemployed.
So in other words, those who have given up and are not looking for work aren't counted in the reported statistics. In fact, there's a large number of so-called discouraged unemployed who occasionally decide to wake up from depression, look for a job, then all of a sudden the unemployment statistics magically shoot up. Then there's the under employed. These figures are all available from the BLS if you dig around. But given the reported statistics from the BLS at face value is kind of stupid. Afterall, in the 80's discouraged workers were counted in the main unemployment statistics used, now all of a sudden we are to accept the new way of counting unemployment? The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
This is exactly what happened to Openwave my former employer. They outsourced to Ireland years ago, and all of a sudden Siemens Ireland now produces a WAP gateway that has the same features but is much cheaper! Openwave's response? Lay off more engineers and hire more engineers in India.
They'll go bankrupt soon. This is the dirty endgame of outsourcing that most haven't found out yet. Oh.. but they will *evilish laugh*.
Compete? How can we COMPETE when we have to pay for the FDA, EPA, USDA, worker protection laws, running water, subsidized rural telephone lines, working stoplights. What corporate america is doing is nothing more than immoral. It's basically taking advantage of the over pollution and corruption of the third world.
It's password protected, I could access this yesterday, amazingly when I laughed at some Orange developers and posted about this on another forum yesterday, it was indeed not password protected.
But the pdf guidelines basically states these gotchas
1) Can't send any frames.. frames are filtered out before they get to the phone
2) Jscript parser case sensitvity is opposite that of IE 4/5
3) There's one font called "nina"
So this is arguably HTML, in fact it's not HTML since frames are definitely a part of HTML. well 4.0 but they're using other 4.0 HTML features. So they're non-standard. WAP's next generation, wireless xHTML, is indeed a standard per the WAP forum, and should be adopted soon. It's just as feature-rich as wireless HTML markup can be, just like "Orange HTML" only difference is it's a standard unlike "Orange HTML." xHTML has been agreed upon by Japanese telco's, European carries, American carriers. SPV's hack of HTML browsing isn't a solution.. It's neat, but WAP will replace it. Guess WAP isn't crap.

I think I used it when living in Holland. All TV's in Holland come with a feature whereby you can browse text, get movie showtimes, look at events in your local town and other such neat things which for me was a neat little find, didn't know TV's could do that kind of stuff. The local theatres had TV sets which were set to the movie channel so you could view the movie listings that way, it's pretty common in Holland. I struck me as something very similar to Minitel but not quite as interactive, I didn't have a keyboard, I could only really browse and get information like train schedules, I couldn't for example book a train I think. This was in 1998 by the way.

Yes, they had message boards long before the IRC(QSD for example, was x25 based but you could connect via minitel). And although I respect the multi-user BBS'es, they weren't the same as minitel at all. Minitel offered online services connecting people to other people _and_ companies, whereas fido net and other multi-user BBS'es were mainly just connecting people to other people so they could chat. You could do useful stuff with minitel for awhile, like book train tickets, check your school grades, look at the local movie showings. It was informational and serive oriented.

Minitel, on the otherhand, has been anything but a failure, and has a huge acceptance rate in France, the government gave out terminals _for free. It was a success in France, something which cannot be said about any such service in the UK I would imagine.

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that:
(1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and
(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
If so, please show evidence that Saddam was behind 9/11. Thanks in advance.
Too French to do anything about it.. cool, so if you're too American then you chomp on a cheeseburger and get fat while you press some buttons that send missiles that do something about it?
By not supplying a factual reason for going to war the U.S. is set on a course which isn't the best one. Bush has single handedly set a precedent.. Presidents and PMs of the world can attack nations by saying "We have evidence which we can't share you, but trust us, this is worth it." This is dangerous.
And no, there is no link between Saddam and Bin Laden. Cheney claimed their was citing a report between Al Queda and an Iraqi officer in Prague, but that was proven to be false. Bush has said screw you to diplomacy, the UN, NATO, proving proof to wage war.. Domestically we are in a long term recession and his tax cut is bankrupting social security. Domestically and internationally bush is screwing all Americans. While he wages war spending trillions, school kids can't go to school because there's no funding for their school and their buildings aren't maintained.
Bush will go down as the worst president in history when all is said and done.
Ehh well it would be best if you had some idea / guarantee that the software you're using doesn't do something evil. So what if it doesn't use Gator. I've heard Kazaa Lite is made by some Russian programmers and no one else really knows much about it.
I'm very happy that it doesn't use Gator in any case so I use Kazaa Lite. I read the private unreleased powerpoint technical doc from the NYTimes author who who outlined how Gator really works. It's horrific, it sets up a freaking java web proxy on your windows box and redirects traffic through that. Gator is evil and I'm pretty sure _nothing_ tops that kind of BS. Seriously, that's downright nasty and most don't realize how bad it is. Stealware != spyware, stealware is waaaaaaaaay worse.

I doubt that. President Bush's approval rating has risen to 67% [fox21.com]. He didn't even have a clear majority when elected.
