All they had to do was keep quiet. Then after the trial was televised, they could sue everyone who carried the story and everyone who downloaded (watched) it!
It would have as much merit as their other suits; how could they possibly lose?
I've usually worked long hours (too many startups and contract jobs). I've always wanted a 3x13 or 4x10 workweek, but would happily settle for 9/80. This works great for the way my body works, but I've never had an employer who didn't just want more hours.
If the company would really do it, it would be great to have every other weekend be three days.
This is the only thing I've been looking more forward to than targeted ads in my fleet of Lexuses (Lexii?)
Throughout December, I just wandered around the malls, singing "I'm dreaming... of a newww task bar". Pretty much the entire Austin area public took it up. I felt like the Pied Piper.
This will revitalize the economy all by itself. By getting the beta out there before Mr. Obama's new stimulus package is in place, Mr Ballmer just saved the USA at least $1trillion. Europe's stock markets are already on the mend as well; can the rest of the world be far behind?
I have also provided free service, but those folk understand that you are only guaranteed to get what you pay for-- in this case, nothing.
From the other direction, I have always just run my own servers to avoid this problem. If I *were* to use a free service, I would do just as I do now- make all changes locally and then push those to the free server. This the version on the web server is the "backup".
If your site is too complex for this (requires all sorts of extra stuff you aren't capable of managing) then you really need to be paying for space.
...is that I have known several people who owned players (including my parents), and every last owner played the piano more than they used the rolls. There are likely player piano owners who only use the rolls, but it's certainly not all of them, and as far as I can tell, it was never a majority. Someone always learned the piano after getting excited bye the automagic stuff, if nobody already knew how.
Even in magazines where no advertisement revenue tied shenanigans occur, the magazines have to put up with a lot of accusations from people who aren't happy with a particular review, or that some product didn't get reviewed, or whatever. Even with the magazines I generally trust, sometimes there's something that to me is bizarre, and I end up wondering.
Personally, I wish most media had a "pay to opt out of ads" model. As a youth pastor, I pretty much have to use myspace (outside of face to face, myspace and text messaging are the teen preferred communications media). If I could pay a few bucks a month to not have to put up with the ads, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
userfriendly.org uses this model; it seems to work for them.
The internet of that time was the ham (amateur radio) community. A German kid, Hans Shergold, was in a hospital in Poland with a case of inoperable acne. He told his step-father, Marshall Goering, that before he died, he wanted to get into Guiness for receiving the most QSL cards from around the world. As the cards poured in and the room filled up, the hospital staff had a harder and harder time getting to Hans to treat him. On 31 Aug, 1939, Hans suffered a serious flare up. The blackhead pressure alarm went off, but doctors and nurses could not get to Hans before his head exploded, just one, giant pimple. His step-father, furious at the Poles for not enforcing safety codes, appealed to Hitler for help. The next morning, Hitler called the head of the Polish Hospital Safety Code Office (Zgnblowski Trzblowski Schnappse Polska). Unfortunately, a translator misinterpreted a cordial remark by the ZSTP office, "we are very sorry for the Goerings", as "What a weinerschnitzel that Goering is".
I'm trying to figure out why the hell the blurb even brought that up. I don't give a rip whether or why any of the politicos are happy with an FCC decision (unless they decide to try to outlaw it).
Google apps is NOT enterprise ready. It's taken us a month, an outside consultant, and a week's worth or intermittent, screwed up email to even get close to what we had before, email-wise. We haven't had any time to work on calendars, etc. It was extremely difficult getting google's attention at all, much less a path to anyone who could actually help. This has been the most painful rollout I've worked on in years.
"It all depends on what your definition of 'evil' is."
YMMV. I would only recommend google apps to a competitor I wanted to hurt. 8^)
Let's see... they're depressed, at least partly because they feel trapped and isolated, so you use a COMPUTER to remind them that not only are they isolated, but you don't care enough to have a live human talk to them?
What moron came up with this?

With enough AI, these things will evolve solar panel wings and become Tie Fighters.
Educate them on the benefits (and problems and risks) of FOSS. Help them switch. Even if they don't want to switch OSes, there's lots of things they can do, in terms of better mail clients, office clients, things like GIMP, etc. OTOH, if they switch to Linux or BSD, a lot of the nastiest dangers and problems go away.
...in many production environments except for emergencies. There's no way I can take a 3TB production filesystem offline to do a dump/restore (or even a restore) just to shrink a filesystem.
There are times we have to shrink one filesystem (volume, whatever) so we can grow another with the available space, without halting dozens of engineers for hours or a day. Lots of people have this same problem.
With something like a NetApp, I can grow and shrink a filesystem at will. Quick, simple, painless. I realize we are talking free software and commodoty or similar hardware vs several hundred thousand dollars worth of proprietary HW & SW, but the point is that it's doable, and there are reasons to do it.
We have NetApps for or tier 1 space, and they work great. We use Linux on Supermicros and Dells for tier 2, and desperately need easier disk management there.
That's about the time frame I started using it. But I had resisted for a long time because I didn't think their model of "rank by links" was such a good idea. Eventually it got good enough I trusted it reasonably, and by then the others (yahoo, altavista, alltheweb) all seemed to have more problems than google.
So now if we can just teach a robot to play the flute, we can have robot pied pipers followed by robot rats all over the place. Then at last humanity will be fulfilled.
Just note on local craigslist or usenet that you will have free computer stuff available on such and such a day, give a general overview, and put it out. Or say, first come, first serve, call me to set up a time, must take it all". Both have worked for me.
This wil usually recycle as close to its intended purpose as possible.

``Ideally this will bring transparency to citizens and inform them of their senators' & representatives' positions and ideas."''
Because obviously they could never have done that with mere text.

The judge should throw the case out, and sentence Darl to pay all costs by doing what he could do best-- getting paid to be a crash test dummy.

It's the entitlement mentality.

Somehow the doomsayers are usually wrong,
