So their computer was broken. How is that different than you trying to apply, and finding out that "oh, the manager isn't here right now" or "gee, I can't find any blank applications" ? Companies do stupid things, they have bad processes, they run out of stuff.
Think of it this way, everyone who tried to apply that day was fucked, so there's no discrimination.
Would it be as profitable were it not for the hippies in the surrounding countries? i.e. is France insightful, or less retarded than its peers?

Is It Time For .tel?

Are doomed to reinvent it.
So lets see, we create a whole separate _TLD_ that people/companies must register, just so people can have www.foo.tel, which is essentially a directory of who's who at www.foo.com?
This is completely idiotic. How about "finger @foo.com | grep -i 'your name'" Obviously wrap it into some kind of GUI, or do something as simple as a web front end to an existing in-house address book?
Geesh. Next someone will invent the ".mail" TLD, which is the address for foo.com, that you use to send email to. what about ".web" ?
And lets all be glad that MSSQL is secretly Sybase under the covers. Because of this we have the beautiful FreeTDS packages for Perl that happily talk to MS SQL server. Those of us stranded in MS shops can actually work this way, imagine the bloodshed if MSSQL was completely proprietary!
I wrangled root for the ~7 servers that I'm directly responsible for, and use it all the time. The first thing that I do was re-enable direct root login. Now, the sudo fanboys and "best practice" fags out there will cry about this. But try running a redirected X session after you've lost all your X authentication info, because you're at least 1 'su' deep.
I run my APPS as non-root, because I don't want an unattended session or process barfing all over the place, or filling a FS, or offering a remote hole to someone and providing the keys to the kingdom.
but day to day stuff, tailling log files, etc.? Root is the only way to go.
So Real's crappy phone-home player may send 100000000 pagehits to their site every month, but (I guess) people actually use MySpace, as retarded as it is. This is a meaningless statistic.
When I read about an Perl interface to X10 used in Make magazine to turn on the coffeepot, I knew that there were two groups interested: complete geeks, and technoweenies, technoweenies being the early adopters, the beligerent oaf at work who declaims loudly that everyone needs a P43.6HT else your computer is "obsolete", that sort of fellow.
Can anyone provide concrete benefits to this sort of trendy geek crap? Obviously I am biased. Other than "I can leave my PC on all day, and at 5pm, it turns the heat on for me!" is there any real practical application? Maybe THATS why X10 died/sucked/does suck.
Its called a commercial firewall. Its tempting to roll your own using a $45 Linksys and CIPE/OpenVPN/IPSEC/PPTP/Freeswan, but seriously, do you want to spend your time watching messages like "Processing a NONCE.." ?
Buy some small, even older, used, Netscreen firewalls for a few hundred each. If you do the preshared keys trick, and put them in aggressive mode, they'll all connect back to the central hub firewall, a Netscreen 10, or whatever model replaced it.
It just works, no dicking around with/etc/ubuntu/foo.key or chintzy NAT boxes that can't pass protocol 50, etc. etc.
Performance tuning means that IO and other resources are sufficient to run tasks. The 'nice' command isn't that. 'nice' lets you run jobs whose complete time can vary, since you can put them on the bottom of the list.
Performance tuning is fiddling with/proc, and matching file and FS parameters with your page size.
If I don't buy massmarket CDs, and I wisely stayed out of the memory card wars (CF slot, only thank you), then how does Sony's stupid marketing affect me? How do their dumb market ideas affect the average person, EXCEPT when said average person is too ignorant or too oblivous and falls for the glitz?
Basically, Sony did dumb things technology-wise, and early adopters and idiots jumped on their bandwagon.
Firstly, Sony makes more products than the PSP. In case you didn't know that. Secondly, why do we all have a "rabid hate" for Sony? They make excellent midrange CD players, for instance. I have an actual Walkman from back in the day, which still works.
The "news" slant would be something like "Wow, this article says that MS might by Sony".
Apparently the "accept trollish submission text" method is what we have here.
Its easy, you just pay yourself everything. Intentionally run the company almost into the ground. When they fine the company, there's no assets to be had, and you just go bankrupt.
Spam is hugely profitable, because your overhead is nil. That means the spammers involved have lots of cash. And their company probably has no assets, and will fold into bankruptcy because of these fines. So what does this mean? The guys dig into their pockets filled with cash, and start another company and do it all over again. Its sort of a nice noble gesture, from when Congress clearly had nothing better to do, but its about as effective as making speeding illegal.
Wasn't the Achilles heel of the P4 and Itanium crappy code, that caused a pipeline stall on their very long pipes? Every time someone pointed out that AMD didn't have this problem, an Intel fanboy would reply that "with better compilers" you could avoid conditions where you'd have to flush the pipeline, thus maintaining execution speed. Well, those "better compilers" don't seem to be falling from the sky, and AMD is beating Intel in work/MHz because of it. Is Intel finally deciding "screw it, we'll make the CPU so smart, that even the crappiest compiled code will run smoothly" ?
Currently the sourceforge site is down, but LZIP allows you to specify an arbitrary compression level that you want, and the algorithm picks through the data set until it reaches it. Further discussion is here.
Get some real world experience first. What if you decide you hate it? Seriously, a background in CompSci does not a forensic expert make. You'll have to deal with stupid government lifers, endless reams of paperwork and regulations, etc. Maybe work in a "corporate" world first, learn what you like and don't like. For instance, I used to work for a dotcom, and discovered that I hated working for a company that sold IT services/products. Why? The snake oil that flew around. The divide between the technical expertise of my fellow engineers and I , and the customer that we inevitably had to bamboozle to help Sales make the sale. Yuck. So now I know - don't do that.

Wow, thats even more of a troll than the submission.

Seeing as this is largely a European bandwagon, I say your prediction will be true in 1-3 years.
Maybe Venus' 300 mph winds have something to do with pushing the heat around?

Hey "editors", its ok to whittle down the submissions to the "News" part, and leave the sensationalism elsewhere.

It's "Disc" not "Disk".
And you use too many exclamation points, it makes your post seem like a troll.
