Uhh, the link says that they will be 'setting up shop in' an 8000 sq ft section of a hall, not that the whole 8000 sq ft will be theirs! An 80x100ft booth at ANY trade show would be outrageous for all but the largest of companies...
Shoot, does Infinium even have anough employees to man a booth that size?
So we should take out MORE student loans, go deeper into debt, lose more years of our life to train for another job that can just be outsourced like the last?
If you went to college and got a degree just to work in a call center, you have far bigger problems in front of you than outsourcing....
No wonder my google search results are getting worse and worse. Take for example a search for a new Sony 34XBR910. The first few pages of results are filled with 'pricing and reviews' most of which are set up to funnell you to a vendor. Used to be a person could plug in a search term and get *real* reviews, consumer experiences, writeups, forums, etc. Now it's all commercial junk...
Makes me very sad, as I love Google. Hate to see it get gamed so easily!
Totally uncalled for... Why is this considered acceptable behavior from grown adults? We don't throw around insults 1/10th as harsh to our coworkers and friends with any degree of sincerity, but make it a politician and an online forum and someone can get a +5 insighful for calling someone a Nazi.
Why the hate? Where is all this anger coming from? I don't care what your political affiliation is, until someone makes it apparent that they intend to march millions of oppressed minorities into a gas chamber, you really oughta ease off on the comparisons...
2) Get an email address from your ISP or other provider (yahoo, fastmail.fm etc) that is complex and convoluted - no names or words
3) set up mail redirection with Zoneedit, redirection.net etc. with a catchall to your new mailbox.
4) Use a different email address every time you must sign up for anything (ie amazon.com@newdomain.com)
5) Filter on sent to headers at first sign of compromised id, or if the volume for a particular id gets too heavy and you're tired of client side filtering, set a specific redirection for it to sample@sample.com (do a whois on sample.com if you're curious).
6) Enjoy the same spam free mailbox I've had for 2 years...
Also helpful is to change your reply-to address every few months and give your friends different addresses based on how clueful they are
In other words, if you go to church every Sunday and put $5 in the collection plate, you've given $60. Which would be MORE than someone with ONE billion dollars giving away one hundred thousand dollars.
That would be a tad more accurate if we only had 1 sunday per month... How about $260?
We need the buying power WalMart's orders give us, so we can't stop doing business with them. Go monopoly power!
Massive buying power != monopoly power... You admit in your statement that your company is benefitting from it's relationship with Wal-Mart, so what's your beef? Oh yeah, you'd be better off if all of your customers paid you more... Welcome to the world bub!
What? Mad cow has exactly NOTHING to do with GM foods! BSE is currently thought to be caused by a specific protein that inhabits the spinal cord and brain of infected cattle. This is not a result of cows eating GM cows - nor is it punishment for some sort of animistic cannibalism. The ban on cows eating cows was related to cross contamination - ie a healthy cow eats a sick cow and subsequently gets sick - of BSE.
BTW - nice try with AIDS too, but again, it has NOTHING to do with GM unless you buy into the c-o-n-spiracy theories...
Normal users don't record 250 hours of standard-resolution TV? (IIRC, Tivo is actually less-effecient than 4GB/hour, but we'll stick with that number)
Depends on the model, but it's much closer to 1GB/hr on the DirecTiVo... IIRC, at high quiality, my 20GB TiVo held about 8 hours of video, which is around 2.5GB/hr.
I'm not much of a rumor monger, but I like this one, so I'll bite. Given Apple's penchant for building quality and pricing things higher than the competition, I'd not be surprised if this were a $199 job (no pun intended). At $199 apple can still be competetitive price-wise, but avoid scavenging sales from their 10GB model only $100 higher in price.
$199 is easier to swallow - and if the little baby is significantly smaller and cooler, I'd not be surprised if Apple wound up selling them to a lot of existing iPod owners too...
So let's summarize - at $99 they'd likely lose money, scavenge sales from the 'big' ones, have to skimp on the quality of the device, and way underprice the competition. At $199 they'd have a nice margin, and leave more headroom for the high quality and design that could drive re-sales...

American cities are hidious, with maybe two exceptions (San Fran, New Orleans).
Interesting that you would pick the two cities in America where one would be least likely to get arrested (or even looked at) for engaging in public sex acts, DUI, drug abuse/trafficking, and other things that the vast majority of Americans would consider unhealthy behavior. Methinks we have a different dfinition of 'hideous'...
What is it? Are you all in such a hurry to crucify the Administration, the FBI, and everything right of center that you have to jump to the wrong-headed conclusions that you have? Or do you just not care about the truth?
According to the article 'The Letters' aren't subpoenas, threats, or lawsuits (don't know where that one came from, but it's platered all over the comments here). They are notification of INTENT to GET a subpoena. This means that the FBI *thinks* that they can get subpoenas for this information, and they don't want the journalists destroying it to avoid turning it over if and when they get them. This is COMMON practice to prevent the intentional destruction of evidence.
It's important to remember that journalists do not have limitless rights to protect their sources, in fact they never have. There is nothing in the posted editorial that shows how any journalists rights have been trampled on, or even reduced as a result of the Patriot act - it's merely conjecture.
IF the courts issue the subpoenas based on the FBI's requests, and IF the journalists feel the subpoenas are in fact unconstitutional or innapropriate, then the legality and constitutionality of the issue SHOULD be visited. However, until you have the facts before you, don't throw around words like Facist, Nazi, etc. It just makes you sound ignorant..

now you may mod me down - I've got Karma to burn...
Woohoo! Now all the people on my buddy list will know I'm so l337 because my kernel has the best AIM benchmarks. They'll be amazed at how fast I respond to their l4m3r questions... Now if the kernel team can keep up the good work (and maintain the obviously correct priorities) to get their Yahoo!IM and MS Messenger benchmarks up there, Linux will rule the desktop!!!

Well, I can't speak to your specific circumstances, but I've been using a specific ebay-only email address for 3 years now, and have not had one single spam sent to it. Bought and sold plenty of stuff too... Perhaps you need to re-check what little information sharing checkboxes you forgot to uncheck with ebay?
You're all asking what the point of this is. Talking about how you could build a cheaper, better, faster one with a bigger pen^H^H^H hard drive in it, but you've missed the point.
This isn't for YOU, it's for your neighbor. Or your uncle, your Mom, or anyone else who DOESN'T have a closet full of overclocked Celeron 366 motherboards, and a working knowledge of Linux.
It's also for the people who don't have static IP addresses at home, but want to access their backed up files from anywhere:
Mirra's installation assumes that its location has an "always on" broadband connection, and uses it to reach out and touch the Ispiri corporate service. Most of the time, this is a simple "ping" every couple of seconds, although it also provides an opportunity for unattended software updates and fixes.
If an off-site user has properly authenticated to the Mirra service at the Ispiri host, and requests a file, the service makes the request when the Mirra next touches base. The advantage of this approach is that the connection is initiated by the Mirra server inside the user's router or firewall.
Sounds like a handy little box to me if it does all it says:
Automatic background backups
Automatic background file synchronization
Remote access that works behind a NAT-box

I'm not gonna buy one, mostly because I don't need one, but when my Dad asks me about backing up his important info I just might tell him to get one....
If this were due to fear of litigation from SCO, there would have been no cut-off date included in the statement. SCO is every bit as able to sue you for hiring someone who worked there in April as someone who worked there in May....
When is the business world gonna wake up and *SMACK* SCO so I can cover my short positions? Frickin' knew I shoulda bought at $10, instead I placed my faith in justice and shorted them... Oh well, at least I can add my name to the list of those screwed by SCO;-)

Whoops - that should have been *example.com* not sample.com... My redirected trash does not go to sample.com - that would be bad.

It's a 1TB array in a box (just look at the dimensions and weight if ya doubt it)... Not that it really matters - heck it's way cool..
