It depends more on who you work with/for and on your attitude. I've been working for my current employer since I was 19 (I still had a year and a half of school left when I started). I'm now 21 and I've never had a problem with people "not respecting my opinion"... but, then again, I try not to act like I know more than anyone else and usually only speak up when I'm sure about what I'm saying and/or it's something important to me (save your words for when it really matters).
What's more, age does matter. It's usually considered good manners to respect your elders... or at least that's what I was taught when I was growing up. You get what you give.
it can be found at here .
Unfortunately, they no longer calculate salary for other countries... I'm pretty sure they used to have it... but you can find the equivalent of your current salary in just about any major US metro area.
I've been using VMWare less and less lately. The only reason I ever use it anymore is for Outlook (have to use it at work) and to view certain webpages (I.e. those containing shockwave quitcktime, etc).
In short, Plex86 has arrived a tad late for me. I imagine, however, that other new users will appreciate it.
Lars mentions that Napster has the technology to block the trading of their music. As far as I know, the only way to do that would be to actually scan the file names and look for keywords... such as "Metallica." Now, what's to stop someone from naming an mp3 "Me**llica-RideTheLightning.mp3"? or just RideTheLightning for that matter... And then the rights of other bands enter the picture: what if The Raging Licknuts have a song called Ride The Lightning which they would like traded on napster? Or even a song called Metallica sucks? Now those songs are also blocked. What's more, I'm sure other artists (Dr. Dre?) will quickly follow Metallica's lead and request that their songs also be filtered out. Can you imagine waiting all that time while your HDD gets scanned for "copyright infringements"? I think that Metallica needs to learn a little more about computers before they start opening cans of worms I do think, btw,that Lars has a point about not having to participate in Napster if he doesn't want to, but he'll have to figure out a better way to do it first...
What you say is true, you can't expect a OSS solution to every single one of your problems. However, I disagree with you on a RDBMS being to big an undertaking for OSS.
Look at the Mozilla project, building a web browser isn't an overnight undertaking... hell, building an OS like Linux isn't either and they've both been done. I'm sure there're other good examples out there that I'm overlooking.
I think that, if there's enough demand, there will sooner or later be a good OSS RDBMS.
The installer can be told not to associate the files (at least it could last I installed it under win) and if you can't figure out how to get rid of the "quickstart" thingamajig, you probably don't care that it's there anyway.
The ads and difficulty downloading the free version are VERY annoying, but they've gotta make money somehow, don't they?
What's banned on my campus? Sex, booz, drugs, women and men alone in the same room, living off campus and getting scholarships, did I mantion booz? Did I mention my university is baptist? BTW, Napster isn't banned...

why not stuff the envelops with something that looks like a legit reply so they'll have to process them?
Will they run Linux?

Just my $.02
Scientology's just messed up. Any organization that insists on being that secretive had better leave me the hell alone.
Does each individual program need to be written for multiprocessors? Isn't it enough if the OS supports multiple processors?...
I'd love to see how well linux handles all the hits on /proc when there's 10,000 processes running.
And i guess _other_ OSs never take hits anywhere under high process loads, do they? Of course if they do you have no way of knowing it, do you?
