A high-ranking developer such as him probably commands a very high salary, and for a reason. With 100 part-time developers under him that he can subdivide as he sees fit, it should play out interestingly.
re your sig (int64.org - When 4GiB of RAM just isn't enough.) Isn't the limit a little bit less than 4 gigs on 32 bit? (ot is it only MS OSes that have that odd limit)
To quote an earlier article: "If you don't like it fork it."
That just may be the dumbest idea I have ever seen on slashdot. You can't fork a project because you don't like the license. In some cases you can, if the license allows distribution and is not copyleft, but GPLv3 is copyleft.
You must be new here. The bathrooms are over by the water cooler, there's free fruit in the lunch room, and we've just had a free soda tap installed by the coffee machine. Don't leave your ID card anywhere, always take it with you. Remember to lock your computer or log out before you leave your work station, or you can be sure you've sent mails to the main company mailing list offering pizza, drinks, sexual favours, or all of the above.
Also, don't call the Operator unless you're suicidal.
My P3/550 with 512MB RAM from early 2000 (fair enough, it only came with 128MB) had no problems running Windows XP. Just turn off all visual effects, don't install things you don't need, and make sure it stays spyware-free and it made a decent web browsing machine (I gave it to my roommate in early 2005 and he used it until summer 2006). Generally speaking though, the computers that most people buy (my mom) are usually on the cheap. Apart from that, you have to think about proper drivers (did Win9x drivers work with XP? I'm not sure, but I believe they didn't) Also, one thing that really annoyed me was that even if you set Windows to automatically suit the level of glitz most useful for the computer, it still persevered in turning on stuff that slowed the computers.
PCs from 2001 would barely run XP, let alone Vista.
XP came out in 2001.. I'd say a PC built in 2001 would have no problem running XP. You really weren't there, were you? Or are you just being sarcastic? Is that sarcasm?
That's just a choice. You can use your mail address (XYZ) in following ways: xyz@gmail.com xyz@googlemail.com x.y.z@gmail.com (/googlemail.com) xyz+hotfecalmonkeyporn@googlemail.com x.y.z+hotfecalmonkeyporn@gmail.com
Possibly more. Helps filtering stuff, and in some cases smell out the rats that sell your mail address to spammers:)
How do I know they are working on a "New Version"? Well, Google lets every-day users who are fluent in both English and another language translate small snippets of English text into the language of their choice. ... One of my readers, who wishes to remain anonymous, stumbled across an interesting snippet of text (which I confirmed exists) spilling the beans on a new version of Gmail that is either currently being tested, or about to be released to testing in short order. It's small, but telling -- here is a screenshot...
Someone was asked to translate "Newer version" for the Gmail UI. Big deal. This truly is the bottom of the barrel.
It seems so. (my Swedish skills are only generally useful enough for either telling people of for having the wrong language, or telling girls to give me their vaginas, I know they have them)
However, there's 10 revisions of the law since enacted (1942). Skimming the summary of them does not seem to have an impact on this case, though.
BTW my brick-of-a-phone (aka. HTC vx), runs anything, has wifi, and a keyboard. But, again, it is a friggin brick with the shitty IE mobile browser. In my opinion, safari is the iPhone's killer app. I have a HTC Wizard (locally known ad QTek 9100) - the killer app for the is the Opera browser. Opera Mini for Java is okay, but Opera Mobile for Windows CE/Mobile is totally FTW.
That being said, it's also a brick, so I use it twice a month.
Malta. I thought of that just after I posted. Completely off-topic, but if ever you are approached by a tax-evasion lawyer who suggests Malta as a good way to evade taxes in the EU, just punch him in the face and walk away.
The interesting thing is also that they don't agree that owning the original ROM cartridge is an excuse for having a copy on your computer, or for that matter, on you Wii. You have to repurchase through Wii VC.

Finally, somebody else who actually read the books! :-D

Actually, Opera Mini also does a good job of pounding down the transferred data (YMMV, of course)
I didn't ask DECS - I asked prockcore.

This may be the funniest post I have ever read on slashdot. (still chuckling after wondering what to write for a minute)
Yeah, those NoScript fatcats most have bribed CmdrTaco to post this. The horror!
Seriously, stop watering down the term 'slashvertisment'. It's tossed around enough as it is.
It's pretty much fair game since Microsoft more or less took credit for Google's success recently...

Dude, did you forget to log out of a computer on an internet café? (Been there, done that, got a funny sig from it)

Good luck getting IMAP to work on your GMail account. If you know of an implementation of a such, please share.
This truly is the bottom of the barrel.
Thank you for clearing that up - that makes GPs post make a lot more sense :)

What ads? You must not use Firefox since you see ads.
That being said, it's also a brick, so I use it twice a month.
First completely logical post in the thread. Thank you :)
In iTunes:
Select track(s), right (ctrl+) click, Get Info.
Set "Remember Position" to yes.
Works for my audiobooks...
How about "This is the year of the phone desktop"?
So what's the big deal here?
