Correct, sort of. Perhaps I should have said that Google invades your privacy. Considering that, at least in the United States, the right to privacy only applys to your right to privacy from government entities (even that is a right bestowed by the SCOTUS rather than being spelled out in the Constitution), one really has no right to privacy from a private or even public company.
However, Google is an advertisement supported service and they still collect the search queries, even if they are annonomized. So, one could argue that unless Google wants to be able to later be able to analyze that data to find a specific individual, they should have no problem with the data being annonomized, since, in fact, they still get the same data, but in an annonomized form which cannot then be targeted back to a specific computer.
Hmmm, It's filed under "Your Rights Online", it talks about your right to privacy and how Google is invading that right. Then, it talks about one of the ways that you can mitigate that invasion. Seems like/. got this one right to me.
I'm not sure how Borland will compete with Micro$oft for the student market. Students whose departments participate in the Microsoft Distribution Network Academic Alliance, get free versions of Visual Studio 2005 Professional, along with loads of other M$ software. Granted, it is for non-commercial use but they are full, un-crippled versions. I know, some would say that all M$ software is crippled, but you know what I mean.
My students are instructed to bring CD-R's the first week of class so they can get their free VS 2005 Pro. I used to use Borland's Turbo products, many years ago when I was first starting out in college. I don't remember how much I payed for them but I do remember them being student friendly.
How is Borland going to compete when college departments can pay $799 for the first year and $399 for each additional year of the MSDNAA and be able to give their students thousands of dollars worth of free software as well as install that software for free in their labs?
The good thing about the.NET languages is that they compile to the same "bytecode". In Microsoft's case, this is the MSIL that runs on the CLR. You can mix and match all you want. Just create a library of C# classes and you can use them in any of the.NET languages. The reverse is true, that you can write code in VB.NET and use that library in any of the other.NET languages.
.NET simply provides the programmer with the ability to program in the language they either know better or in a language that seems better suited to the job, without taking a performance hit, since they all compile to the same intermediate language.
.NET 2.0 takes this to even more extremes, in that, more toolbox items are available and virtually all of the components are data aware. Also, Visual Studio 2005 Pro includes a development IIS instance and SQL Server 2005 Express is included.
I can ignore everything else but pop-ups have to be manualy closed and that is just a big irritation. I will not purchase products from anyone defeating my pop-up blocker.
I'm no genius and I would assume that the people who approve of publishing stories are smarter than I am - but why are such trivial and redundant articles being published on/.???
I don't really care what the EULA says. You know, the whole "blood from a turnip" argument. The only thing they can get from me is my birthday and I'm not using it anymore.

Ok, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who made that Space Station leap! Who the hell is ISS?

DIBBS on it! Mine, mine, mine. What a party shack that would be. Man, no noise complaints with that big assed door they have.

Well, guess that whole "starve her to death" thing was a bit premature...
Look at SafariU. You can create custom books from O'Reilly and several other publishers.
You mean the BattleStar Galactica that damned near everyone says "kicks ass"?
about the media player looks. It's the quality of the pR0n on it that really matters!
Back in Texas, we called that an Oklahoma Credit Card...
Duke Nukem Forever is the 64th disk in the end of the world Towers of Hanoi puzzle. Once it is released, the monks' job is complete.

You forgot to warn him about the Wumpus!
the only copy of the logo wasn't on that server that just melted!

It is a good thing no one can hook the audio out to a tape recorder. Man, we would be in real trouble then!
You would not want it. Two days before Christmas. Man, what a gyp.
Umm, habit?

1. Never see a movie in the first week it is out.
2. Always arrive 15 minutes late. (no commercials for me).
3. Never use the concession stand.
Try copy and paste of the ISBN into google and then have fun.
I just downloaded Suse 9.3 Professional for free from their website.
