You could also get something like the Ultimarc U-HID or I-PAC. Many MAME users have been using these for years to adapt the controls in their arcade cabinets to work with PCs. You'll have to wire up a connector to let you plug in whatever kind of joystick you want but the flexibility means you can use it with several different controller types.
I suggest you go reread that booklet. Andersen Consulting completed its spin-off from Arthur Andersen in mid-2000 after a two-year legal battle. The Accenture name became official later that year (I happen to have a copy of both their original Indian Certificate of Incorporation and their "Fresh Certificate of Incorporation Consequent on Change of Name" which is dated December 5th, 2000). The Enron scandal surfaced in October 2001, 3 years after Accenture began its separation from Arthur Andersen.
The only point of your post that I take issue with is the first part. H1B resources are SUPPOSED to be paid the same as an American worker would be paid and this is certainly the case for many of them. I'm an American currently working in India and India has a similar rule for granting employment visas.
Since I've been here, however, I've heard many stories about people who have been "hired" by contract firms who sponsor them for an H1B visa. I put "hired" in quotation marks because the employees actually pay the contract firm for the privilege. They are told that it's much easier for them to seek citizenship or, at least, another employer who will take over their H1B visa sponsorship once they're in the US.
The press release that 365Main had on their site this morning about having two years of continuous uptime is now gone (after nearly every news article on this outage pointed it out).
Something that most people seem to be missing is that, according to Investopedia, the 30-days-below-one-dollar rule means 30 business days and it isn't just the closing price, if the stock trades above $1 in intraday trading, that's enough to satisfy the rule.
As of market closing today, they've traded below $1 for 21 consecutive business days. That means they have almost two full weeks before they could hit that 30-day trigger. The stock has been climbing slowly the last few days and there's at least some chance the interested parties will successfully paint it over $1 before it's too late.
If April 27th arrives and they haven't made it over a dollar, though, a reverse-split is probably their only hope (barring some magical court rulings in their favor) since the stigma of receiving that warning could shake what little confidence investors have left making it all but impossible to get over a buck for the ten consecutive days required.
Even Microsoft supports a type of open source development in the enterprise. Look at their Scripting Center. They've recently added a section for community-contributed scripts.
I'd be willing to bet that most large companies have at least one person on their IT staff who participates in this type of community development system to create tools for their enterprise.
It may not be what most people think of when they talk about open source, but I'd say it's an example that is too often ignored.
Maybe I'm completely missing the boat here, but I recall when I got my first cellphone capable of receiving text messages 10 years ago that those messages would be queued up on the carrier's servers until I turned my phone on or was in signal range. Would that not be prior art?
Yes, iPod sales are up, but those sales aren't going to transalte to iTMS purchases until AFTER the iPods have been opened. The story says that gift card sales are "off the charts". You can expect downloads to jump dramatically beginning December 24th.
I imagine nobody is happier to hear this that PostgreSQL. Their popularity is about to skyrocket as countless OSS projects look for alternatives to MySQL.
Dan Rather has uncovered 8th-generation photocopies of some internal Intel memos confirming that the actual dual-core processor was AWOL during the Devloper Forum.

Here's a Slashdot story from 2001 wherein I recount my experience with having to power on each of my devices before boarding a flight:

Technically, that wasn't even the TSA since that agency didn't exist until a few weeks later.
Check out the Videogame Connector Pinouts at Pinouts.ru. Many of them include suggestions for connecting them directly to a PC.

This is what technical folk refer to as an "understatement".

Wait, do you mean to say that there is a use for spreadsheets beyond football pools and Project Managers printing schedules?

That's just for the text-craw bands.
The screen itself is supposed to take a Betacam SP feed which would mean roughly 453x340 if I remember correctly.

Sure, I probably should research this before posting, but if I did that, I wouldn't be a proper Slashdot reader, would I?
Err... sorry... "Kent's tracking system". Grr.
Oh, great. Ken's tracking system is gone.
