no more hiring cheap foreign nationals to avoid paying for someone's experience.
You should emphasize the words cheap here. Otherwise you almost flamebaited me.
A few points:
I am a foreign national but I am not cheap. Hence I do not go to the US as I am getting more where I am. With better overall conditions. And I am not alone around here.
I personally do not give a damn about the HB1 quota stuff that drives people up the wall. Importing slaves to pound on visual basic does not improve the IT industry. It brings it down.
The above sentence may insult someone but until the upper limit on HB1 salaries is removed noone can convince me that the tentative import is not slaves. The only difference between now and 200 years ago are:
plantations are replaced by keyboards
the force of guns when hiring is replaced by the force of economical conditions/debt in the third world

I really question the rationale behind GPG anyway. PGP source code is available for free--it ain't Free Software, GPLed
"Free," but it's good enough and it
,b>Bollocks. You are full of shit. Have you actually had a look at the PGP source. It is DOS/WINHOZE peace of crap. Barely ported to crawl on unix with some ifdefs. Usually does not compile on 64 bit/big endian systems for a few years after the next major release. Does not know which is the random device on the appropriate system (urandon vs random). List can be continued ad naseum.
On the contrary both GPG and the patented alogorithm plugins for it are actually portable well written source. It is vastly superior on this grounds. This is sufficient rationale. And until RSA learns to write proper unix code this will be the rationale behind peoplpe using pgp 2.6.x (it is also quite MSDOSy but it is at least audited) and GPG.

From what I've read, I think there are unofficial and
still-buggy source code patches available from Europe for RSA compatibility--though I may be wrong
You are wrong. They are not buggy. They are not patches as they cannot be patches because of the GPL. They are extenal loadable modules. Most importantly they work. The latter is the most important point when comparing it to the RSA reference implementations which suck rotten eggs through a thin straw on any system with more than 32 bits and/or proper endian order. I wish they finally learn what an integer is. Agrgh....
I can hardly comment on the rest but on purely technical grounds seems like loads of bulls to me.
The basic difference is that in a regular shop, the same price is advertised to all.
One word: Bollocks. Go to Kapalu Charshi (the big market) in Stanbul. It will be an enlightening experience for you. Actually go to any market. Anywhere.
I do not get it. This is normal practice for normal non-online stores. They analyse customer demand all the time. Some of them have evn gone as far as analyzing customer in store movement using IR cameras. Why do you expect Amazon to behave differently. Just because it is online?
Gimme a break;-) They are just doing business the way everyone else does. A bit more efficiently though as they do not need IR cameras to track customer movements.
Win 2000 is used only in rabid Windows zealot shops yet. It has not been put to the test anywhere where the question of using UNIX actually stands.
And even most of rabid Windows zealot shops have not gone through a complete server deployment as quite a lot of things still do not work or outright break.
If used anywhere it is used for a client now. Especially for a laptop it is better than NT. It still does not even compare to Linux or BSD but some people are required to use M$ware due to company policy you know...
Unfortunately I cannot see the patents themselves. But there is so much prior art in this area that even if the USPTO will do its usual thing they do not stand a chance in court.
IBM, Intel, Miscrosoft and Digital(now compaq) have enough prior art, IP and even patents as well as financial resources to simply roast them and eat at their leasure.
IMHO: They have taken laisurely pace towards Vmware and Plex86 because they have not attempted to file IP and bite them. This is different story. The patents have been filed. The IP war tomahawks have been dug out.
Plex86 and Vmware should simply wait until the legal ICBMs will hit on target and the legal fallout has finished.
That is if any of the patents that make any impact will actually succeed. As of now patent search return not found on all of them.
Can someone post any relevant copyright and licence and eulas on the device itself. Any discussion without this is pointless.
If they intended the Cue whatever to be a loss leader to a binding service than oh well... We know what happens to ideas like that after a post to Slashdot. Anyone remember the EOpener? If this was the CC model they are already ready for chapter 11;-)
You can still consider the "Memory St(r)ick" as a reason for er... disliking them. It is a technology with very serious implications. Seeing it get a foothold gives me shivers.
And I have another issue: I want to run a "reverse proxy" (multiple physical webservers, possibly running different OS's) with name-based virtual hosting. I haven't
found a way of doing that [with Apache] yet.
Squid in accelerator mode should do this. You will have to tell it to use the host header though.
Actual statistics show a huge number of strange hosts like MSIE-2.x and 3.0 and other similar abnormalities. It is strange but true. There are lots of people with NT4.0 with no service packs applied and IE not installed out there. There is a lot of software like junkbuster that reports an IE when asked for browser as well. The actual percentage depends on the target site but it can go as high as 20% of apparently non-host compliant browsers.
Also, you are mixing RIPE general policy with host policy. RIPE is assuming this stance on all addresses. You have to justify anything above/31 by default with them. If you are a big ISP they may raise this so called assignment window but not by much. This is quite different compared to the US.
And yes you can get IPs for virtual hosts from them. You just need to know how to write your requests.
Because it has no packaging/configuration system. On a mature production system a packaging/configuration system is a virtue. On a system where people learn it is a hassle.
So for learning linux Slackware is still the most superior distro. You can break and fix things as you wish and the system will not be 100% broken. Also Slackware still uses ancient BSD style startup, not SysV. This is much easier to understand, debug and fix.
This one of the reasons that people still stick to RSA keys and PGP 2.6x. See OpenBSDs Theo de Raadt key for example.
Get your current key from a public keyserver and carefully check it. With GPG. It should contain only sigs and self-sigs. There should be no complains on unknown packets as well.
