So, they're going to make two departments, one that's profitable and growing, and one that can be cut and eliminated in one year? Makes business sense to me. They call it "cutbacks"
They're on the net? Well, I guess with the massive censoring, they're on about 10% of the internet. So, now they're down by another 10%. Could be the government deciding it had become to dangerous to let in.
The last update of the rules was released in 2000, not 1999.
As for the review of the preview books, they give an interesting behind the scenes look at the process of development and why they're changing SOME of the things they're changing. But really, you should just wait until the game comes out and judge it in it's entirety. You may read about one change you don't like, and miss the 99 you would like, but weren't highly publicized.
How is 10% significant? In a 4-man race, that's still not close to the necessary plurality to win. Since he would need to increase his votes by 250% to hit the MINIMUM possible to win the vote, and more likely, over 300% to actually have a shot, and all of this in less than a week, I would say he's not relevant to the race. Having an effect does not make on relevant. Dubya probably has a larger effect on the race, but he's not in the discussion 9and rightfully so)
Feature bloating can happen anywhere. But with most Linux systems, you have to do it yourself. It doesn't come pre-bloated.
But yeah, file this news under O for Obvious. We already knew this.
I had a wonderful time on Saturday. We really should get together more often, it's been far too long. It was nice catching up. I hope all is well with the children.

There are a lot of areas that have OTA TV channels without any broadband options. some people still have no options, but this does open up a lot of options for those who had none. farmers are a big one, my in-laws have this exact problem. But they can get OTA. Small townships could also benefit. heck, long-term, more competition lowers prices, and should see more expansion of DSL/Cable lines as well.
Perhaps the terrorist mindset recognizes a need for engineering skills? Do we have the wrong cause and effect correlation? Are terrorists becoming engineers, not the other way 'round?
I think the Wii will win. maybe not right now, but in the next 5 years, it's going to continue growing. there's almost no ceiling to it's potential. Check out some of the cool motion capture vids going around.
In unrelated news, there are troubling reports of a new Storm Worm coming from mars. Random slashdot posts have appeared stating "In soviet Mars, The planet reddens YOU"
Agents are exploring a correlation. Slashdot has already modded them down as trolls.
I guess I should clarify. In some cases, these companies did things which may have been illegal. However, if there were threats or other excessive coercion, I think that should be taken into effect. Furthermore, anything legal, whether obvious or not, should be covered. Some things may look illegal on the outside, but may not have been. And there are issues of national security (In some cases. I personally think the executive branch overuses the privilege)
I'm not expecting this to fail. There's a lot of lobbying and a lot of money involved. As an employee of one of the telecoms, I can say there's a lot of push from the executive branch (White House) to push this, because a lot of these illegal orders came from them. And before 9/11 even. At least one of ours came in February of '01
Technically, the 9/11 attacks were int eh 21st century.
But regardless, the Telco's were really between a rock and a hard place. Even recently as 18 months ago, they were handing over private information to the NSA by request. Except Qwest, I believe. I don't support blanket immunity, but I do support some immunity. We should be looking at specifics on a case by case basis.

So, that Corporate Headhunter was the OTHER type of headhunter? That explains the dress code.
White papers aren't going to et it done, Green papers are the only way to make a change in laws.
This is getting ridiculous. Isn't the government to regulate industry, not own and sell it? That sounds more like Communism.
In Soviet America, Wireless spectrum sells YOU!
I wonder if Diebold makes campaign contributions. I wonder if Campaigns make "Diebold" contributions.

It's the same color as concrete, and about as heavy. But it's also about as durable. Mine still works just fine.

Isn't it sad that the new OS needs a how to de-suckify it book?
MS- More $
It's just another example of the less effective technology winning out.
Can you say Beta max?

Looks like the EU's treatment of Microsoft is starting to pay off. Other browsers are catching on fire (fox)
We've seen Google getting all sorts of cell-phone related patents recently, and their extreme interest in the airwave auctions as well.

Better not make any wrong turns!

Type the address right the first time, or Bezos will charge your amazon account!
I would guess we're going to see the cost of domain registration rising, with less ease.

I guess we should put sensors in cars to monitor speeding and turn the car off as well.
