...it seems clear that he's not employing ghostbloggers
Really? How sure are you? Do you work in his office?
_EVERY_ Congressman employs people specifically to write ALL of their public corespondence. They write all the email replies, they write all the letter replies. My old roommate when I lived in DC had just such a job as a staffer on the Hill.
I would be very surprised if this was not takne in the same vein.
Welcome to Rob's new blog. Hey, it is his site, so yeah I guess he can take some liberties.
BUT, when you go to your preferences and can NOT choose to see "NONE" of the articles for the category "Editorials" on your home page when logged in, then the articles are no longer editorials but mandated lessons.
I can make more at McDonald's especially considering meals are discounted 75%.
Maybe, but your future salary will climb at a higher incremental rate by having this thing the work force looks for called experience by working on coding...
A lot more companies could go green in a different way - encourage their employees to turn off their lights and monitors when they leave (yeah, I know, ya gotta SSH/RDC, so leave the machine on...)
This would save a lot more energy than expecting employees to buy a new car just because they get a bit of an incentive.
Podcasts are hosted on servers owned by the podcaster. I said that podcasters recieve audio comments from their listeners. They don't allow them unfettered upload access to their own server to recieve them. They distribute their show off their own server and recieve comments from listeners via email - quit often in audio format to a Gmail address.
I mean, if you have 1 GB+, why in the world would you want more?
Ask any podcaster that gets audio comments that question and they'll tell you how many times a week they have to clear their GMail account to be able to make room for the hundreds of 10-20 meg audio files they get.
Charging would not alleviate any liability that you mention, and would actually add more. By receiving money, they now have a vested interest in the actions of the customers and are more responsible than if it were free.
As far as using onload is concerned, you need to keep in mind that it only fires once all the parts of a page have been loaded... imagine typing something into an input control, only to have the onload set the focus to the control
This is exactly why I always fire a function onload that checks to see if the field to get focus has content first. If it does, then I don't focus it.
Have you been through the site? When did Bill Hill turn into an evangelist? Just because the site is run by evangelists does not mean its sole purpose is to market MS solutions. Developers on the whole are not as expressive or inventive at communicating as evangelist types are. There are exceptions, but those developers are too good of coders and I want them spending their time coding MS software instead of running a web site.
If you spend enough time calling customer service to complain every time you get dead spots and dropped calls, they may just let you drop the contract to save them the customer service expenses.
Every call costs them mucho dinero. If they know that you'll erase any profit, and maybe even cause a hefty loss by calling all the time, they'll probably gladly dismiss you.
Read the intro, he says "...Broadband Internet Telephony which doesn't touch the public switched telephone network..."
That would cover the scenario you posted concerns about...
Is that limitation worth $150 to that many people, especially with an extra $7 per notebook?
If my scanner could automatically run OCR on my scan and send and email to the recipients listed on the paper or add the appt listed to my calendar (as appropriate), then it would be as useful as this pen.
Slashdot Mirror
In other news, Apple started offering video in the iTunes Music Store (oh they already were...??)
There's nothing new here.
The latest spec is over a month old, and the latest comments on the home page linked are over a week old and are trackbacks at that.

Nor is the 10 second page load it took me to get all of the content...
Um, that's not what I said, nor how it works.

I bet they're surpirised to hear of this "new" functionality....
Um, wrong!
v- means you are a vendor providing consulting type services to MS. a- means you are a lowly contractor working for one of the body shops.
Charging would not alleviate any liability that you mention, and would actually add more. By receiving money, they now have a vested interest in the actions of the customers and are more responsible than if it were free.
And heaven forbid they actually archive and serve up externally linked css files...

Airplanes? You're kidding right? What the heck are you going to pierce the battery with? A fingernail? Free pretzels perhaps?
Good grief.

So, what the heck IS his address??
WOW, you get just over 3 hours of standby time!! I hope their site is wrong when they say "200 min. standby"

up to 40 pages at a time
(from this page
10^12 moves per second
Really?
Well, for the layman, that's:
1,000,000,000,000
Unfortuantely, the web site states that Deep Fritz is only capable of:
6,000,000
Yup, 6 Million moves per second. Guess you better get out that sunscreen if you want to wait, as it''ll take longer than previously stated...
The only cable plugged in is a power cord to replenish the battery.
Um, isn't that a wire? Maybe the Net connection is wireless, but the server is far from completely wireless if it requires a power tether...
