Umm, the last time I checked, deja did not archive or allow posts to binary groups.
As for anonymity, how does deja's acquisition change anything? They've required a valid email address before granting posting privileges (fwiw). And the news header included either the deja email or real email address anyway.
Yes, focus on patient convenience and community rather than on access to records. You really don't want to deal with the security nightmare.
Provide a patient support forum where messages are posted anonymously - yet requires registration. This way posters aren't easily identifable to each other (unless they want to be), but you have some control over who can or can't post (i.e. trolls).
But don't you see, this allows the rabid anti-microsofties to vent their spleen. Come on - ANY microft-is-bad-so-we-gotta-slam-them-at-any-oppurt unity

I second this - with one caveat. There is an outstanding bug with flash plugins ( a href=http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6 3243>63243 ) that appears to have been fixed in 0.7, but not in this weeks nightlies.
We used to play Colossal Cave on a PR1ME. There'd be six or seven guys in the terminal room, all exchanging maps and info with each other as they played through the game.
Who needs character interaction when you can have the real thing.
It's ironic that the firm which inspired the phrase "nobody got fired for buying IBM" is now putting a high profile effort into supporting software over which it has no control.
Don't get me wrong - I think IBM have managed to reposition themselves really well. It's just not that long ago that they were the bad guys. With any luck, this pleasent trend will continue.
Like it or not, the video card fanboys need to remember that they are a very small segment of the market. Uncle Joe down the street doesn't care whether he has the fastest card on the street - he just chooses what's presented to him by Dell, Gateway etc.
3dfx's inability to follow OEM product cycles with fresh product in a reliable manner doomed them.
1) The cost of running an office is fairly significant - especially in a costly city such as SF. With the other two CA offices, I can see why they might chose to close it. Sucks for those staffers who want to live in SF though.
2) The comments on RH management are from a former RH executive. Salt. Pinch.
3) The web strategy has been constantly "evolving". Can you say Yahoo! ? From search engine to portal to AOL-wannabe.
4) They're meeting their forecasts - generally a sign of management that understands what they're doing.
Yahoo are charging for REVIEWS of sites. Raw additions to their index are (it appears) still being done for free.
In addition, they are charging for reviews of ALL commercial sites that fit into certain categories.
What's the problem here? The same fee is being charged to all businesses. Regardless of the businesses size, the review will be completed within seven days.
Sites that don't go into those categories still get in for free (albeit in a unknown timeframe).
They're being sensible and not charging VISITORS to the sites. How is this different from a TV network?
3dfx managed to alienate their one-time partners with the purchase of 3dfx. Considering that Creative own a chunk of Nvidia, I find it hard to believe they will be manufacturing Voodoo boards anytime soon.
Yes, there are other manufacturers, but all the big boys are currently making plenty of money off Nvidia.
Now they might *subcontract* board manufacture, but still sell the boards as 3dfx/stb...
Slashdot Mirror
Consider that Usenet groups were once the preferred way of publishing information on the public net. What has supplanted that?
Hint - Google index it.
OK, maybe a bit of a stretch, but hey, it's Slashdot.
*shrugs*
Considering that most 'net users now use the web for research (rather than usenet), I think it is.

They have deals with various companies to provide search engine capability. Do a search on Yahoo and Google and you'll see the same results.
It is ironic that the biggest Usenet archive is now owned by a company that indexes the Web.

I'm assuming that you're not perfectly happy and intellectually challenged by your current classes.
How would you go about improving the education you've received?
This is the best use of 3D in a resurrected game I've ever seen :D

Someone mod this up.
Ack - I meant if you have a Voodoo5
You can actually witness this yourself if you have Q3: http://www.3dpulpit.com/Q3Arena/3dfx/index.html

Given the choice between no-commute and SF, and an hours commute and a glorified suburb ;)
Guess which I'd choose.

The bit about the groundcrew not hooking up his pressure suit was priceless. Nice link.
Right. It's strange that they're not providing a SSL secured page in which to COMPOSE your message.

While this is cool, how far will it go? Are we gonna see Terminator, Titanic, or Debbie does Dallas?
I of course meant "with the purchase of STB"
That report doesn't smell right.
