Alan, on your web site you have a link which if used by someone to make purchases on CDNOW translates to you getting credits. I use this link deliberately when I do purchases from CDNOW with the idea that you get rewarded for this. What I miss is some form of feedback: how many credits do you get, how often someone uses this link, how big is your CD collection, what are your favorites? Can you add something on your web site to indicate that for example this week, say "10 people purchased from CDNOW and I feel happy". -petar
They use existing browser, I suppose. If you go and carefully read the explanations in the web site you'll see that the aimed integration is to facilitate the automatic loading of your bank account data. I suppose that when log in to your bank web site and decide to download the QIF file, instead of "save to file" you will automatically get all the data imported.
I suppose that they use Mozilla as a web browsing control.

One shortcoming of using curses is that you can not easily harness the whole keyboard. For example it is impossible by just using the curses API to operate a key like Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow! There is a workaround for bare-bones text only Linux, but it is not easy and stright forward.
The best way of having a clear picture of what the actual rates are is to talk to somebody who is coming from the corespondent country where you plan to do the work. There are programmers from all over the world in Silicon Valley, try to find someone to ask on this topic for the specific location.
For example I have a clear idea of what is charged for what work and what is the top you may ask for in Bulgaria.
I'm in process of reading "Understanding Linux Kernel" and have easily made parallels to a book that I read just months ago -- "Inside Windows 2000" by Russinovich. It is quite a revelation to read about Linux kernel design after spending some time acquiring Windows 2000 design. I do really recomend reading both books. You are correct that there is more details on data structures and less on design patterns of the kernel code. Russinovich's book on other hand is suggesting more of general design ideas instead of details of kernel code, he himself has never seen the Windows 2000 kernel sources.
Why not they elect a combined developers body? They can use such ocasions to propose a union of BDS flavors of operating systems. I think all the separation is not in favor of a prosperous and triving BDS comunity.
Do you have even a rough estimation about the amount of taxes an H-1B worker leaves in USA for a 6 years of period, during his visa is valid?! Then speaking that this worker goes home without giving back is quire rude. Not speaking about the high rents. So hight that it looks like a robbery. All those money remain in USA, in your country! Take a look around, having in mind this -- it makes a different picture, a?!
What is going to happen if somebody creates a mirror of these sites in a server operating outside the jurorsdiction of a USA court. What are DC supposed to do then? It is not a rocket science this bar code reader. Why making so much noise about this "technology"?! And how they imagine to stop all the web sites that can appear outside USA, if somebody decides to do this? Another question is: What is the harm to their technology if occasionaly I use the their bar code reader.... like a bar code reader?
You boost Jabber because of its protocol. Why XML? It just further clutters the web. ICQ is having a binary protocol, which allows it to accomodate the messages in small UDP packets. Tell me what is the advantage of quoting all the necessary fields in explicit XML tags?! I agree that it makes the protocol far more readable, but I suppose the target is not this. The real target is fast messages transmitter by small packets. Jabber tries to use XML and to boost itself as the ultimite messenger. XML has some advantages, but please, using XML as a protocol to transfer a sentence or two is simply overbloated.
