What's in it for me? Opening up the Windows sources, even to read, doesn't really help us all that much. And they're not going to do it either. We need a fully documented API, so that WINE can emulate it, not an example of how to code it.
If you're doing all this travelling, your home is located in the wrong place. Move home. You'll save yourself a staggering amount of time and improve your quality of life.
I moved over to contracting when I had sufficient experience - Damn this flood of clueless losers who sell themselves as contractors; contractors were once the best of the best.
Anyways, I work reasonable hours, pull reasonable money, and if my client needs it and I want the cash, extra hours happen. Hourly pay means not getting exploited. I used to work 75hr weeks in my last permanent job because it needed doing, not because I was forced to. The crappy amount time-in-lieu I got convinced me to go contracting.
www.think.com takes you to a page with Thinking Machines Corporation as the title (before redirecting to the Oracle page) - didn't Oracle buy them out when they went under? Oracle got all that chatels (as they ought to) when they bought them. And they're not directing the page to the Oracle home page, they're directing it off to the datamining page, which is something I recall thinking machines where into just before they went under. Logical, isn't it?
There's no reason why you couldn't make a condition of sale that the current pages are all served, and that only the default html root page is handed over, with a link to the original html root page. Old links are honoured. Thus, the old amazing.com dies over time, while the new owner runs their new site. Or you could grab a new domain name, and have all the existing pages redirect to that, or have a virtual domain siting under amazing, or whatever.
