is certainly a winner
The ads presented are similar to the paid ads shown on a standard google search but using the keywords of the page displayed and also tailored to the country of the viewer via their ip address.
In this way webmasters can maximize the global potential of their website.
We have some very highly ranked pages (i.e. top 10) but for UK only content. Now our visitors who find us via search engines and discover we aren't quite what they want are presented with a relevant exit strategy and we get a commission!
We're getting an average 1.7% click through rate which is translating into a nice tidy sum.
Vodafone has confirmed it doesn't expect to feel any direct fall out from David Beckham's 25m move from Manchester United to Spanish football giants Real Madrid.
A Vodafone statement said: "Vodafone has a two-year contract with David Beckham and it is independent of the [Manchester United] team. David Beckham's move to Real Madrid will not compromise Vodafone's position with the England captain or Manchester United."
Of course, having every title on warezed DVD helps.
XBox Live, though, is where it's at.
Project Gotham on XBox live is the best racing ever. Bar none. They have multiplayer *exactly* right.
I bought Need For Speed Underground on PC at the same time and it's online system was a disappointment. It's update system uses javascript and activex ffs and so first thing I had to do was piss about bringing my I.E. up to date on a box I don't use for web browsing (being a Mozilla user on FreeBSD and all).
The controllers are an abomination and getting a force feedback steering wheel has been a long long wait.
I hope Sony get the networking sorted out on the PS3 and the xbox2 is stillborn.
It is really irksome seeing ads for MSN while playing SSX Tricky or Links2004.
While I', sceptical that they are going to use such a strategy : having the binary data with some sort of protection that neds 'breaking' would be a DMCA issue.
The DMCA is interesting as it conflicts with laws in other territories that permit reverse engineering for interoperability.

I was under the impression that IBM had some right to use the Win16 architecture because they origionally consulted Microsoft to develop Windows for them.
Close.
OS/2 was a Microsoft / IBM joint project. Microsoft was building Windows at the same time. Microsoft pulled out of OS/2 & pushed Windows thus shafting IBM.
Unless your file system is encrypted then it is better that you assume that anyone with access to the hardware can have access to any data on the disk.

Compromised software on SF & Debian, if unnoticed, poses more threat than a leaked service pack 1.
Nothing was 'stolen' from either break in so the monetary damages are just the cost of repair.

Why use IBM's Linux version of Microsoft Office when Open Office is getting so good?

We already know they are getting ready to use the DMCA to prevent OSS from reading their XML based binary files.
Do we?

You'd think the FBI had some sort of pro-corporate bias!
When does the GPL expire?
Funny, isn't it, how when it's music everyone want's it to be free.
Does DJ Danger Mouse release his source ? (i.e. riffs and breaks unmixed?)
If I pressed 3,000 of my own Grey CDs would he mind if I sold them for $6.99 a pop at the local car boot sale?
I'm not saying what should or shouldn't be happening.
EMI are war mongering blood suckers but still artists wet their pants to get signed.
An OpenSource armoury, now that would cause a stir.
Here's the code for a countour hugging ICBM or radar jamming code.
Put a bit of GPL code in your router and everyone is up in arms.
Put a bit of copyright music on your CD and everyone says you should have carte blanche to sell it.
Yeah, he should have used elitist thinking instead.
You have to press keys, how gauche.
I bet you've never even tried a proper interface.
I wasn't aware mutt was part of Linux. I always thought it ran in userland.

I know, that was my point.
18 light years in summer and 8 light years in winter is clearly a mis-understanding of the factors invovled.
