Exactly. Coke is a brand name I see surviving essentially forever. A few more law suits and changes in the PC industry, and Microsoft could be gone before this century is over.
The official added that there is no evidence of any espionage and noted the continuing problems with sloppy record keeping at Los Alamos and the rest of the labs. "The indicators [of espionage] are just not there," Ed Curran, DOE's director of counterintelligence, told the Associated Press. He noted that two identical drives, containing the same material, disappeared when someone seeking the information for espionage likely would have taken only one. More likely, he added, the drives "were either misplaced, misused or accidentally destroyed."
I'm not saying we should completely rule out foul play, but rather, just be open to the other possibilities out there.
Well, a report from MSNBC suggest the missing data is more likely related to the wildfire that took place recently than espionage. Perhaps some high level official evacuated the data to prevent it from potentially being consumed by the fire. Here's the report on MSNBC: Report
Jim Clark couldn't beat Microsoft legitimately, by producing a superior browser, so instead he chose to resort to whining and leveraging the government. Well, he's succeeded. What else do you want Jim?
On a side but related note, does anyone know what happened to that suit brought up against Aqua (the Denmark music band) by Mattel? Such information might be useful to other "victims" of the barbie company.
While overall, I am upset over this move by NetworkSolutions, there is a bright side to it. Should a person's domain name be hijacked or stolen by a third party, this contractual change probably means NSI now has more power in getting it back and reassigning the domain name to its rightful owner. Perhaps that alone is reason enough to embrace the change.
The quality of the print probably will be quite poor as well. Regardless, isn't there already a similar product out that allows you to save snap shots of your TV screen onto the computer? If my memory serves me right, it's called Video Snap.
My last attempt at learning XML was some 6 months ago, when I tried by reading the top seller in its domain "XML: a primer". The thing was so dull (due to its subject, I suspect), I have yet to touch XML since. There's a reason why there are currently billions and billions are webpages on the net- ease of learning of the underlining technology- HTML. While I can appreciate the potential of XML and what it could do for the web, I just don't see it spreading like wild fire anytime soon.
I've found that Yahoo Mail, with the new anti-spam feature recently added, works wonders against spam. I used to receive around 15-20 spam mails via my Yahoo account daily; since two months ago after the anti-spam feature was added, it hovers around 5 a day. However the technology works, I'm loving it.
The only debate of software companies on the manual issue is how to save production costs, which, by cutting out the printed manual, will do. I for one will seldom buy packaged software that don't come with a tangible manual.
Well, upon testing, the latest version of NS 6 supports both event bubbling and event capturing. Finally, they are on par with IE 5 in the event model respect.
Well, a year ago, I saw on the Discovery channel? a similar device intended for campers and outdoorsman...it went for something like $1000 bucks. Perhaps time has since eroded that.
I would have expected something like this to be much more expensive than $395...kind of wary. If it really works as advertised, then I see no reason to not get it, considering how often I work with my laptop outside on the balcony...

Just curious...anyone know just how exactly analysts measure the value of a brand name? Is there a formula of some sort?

It's 2 million in stocks

Well, one good thing about the movie is that it'll depress John Travolta's next salary payout. 20 million man, you're finished. No millions for you!!

I wonder how fast railroads can support in terms of connection speed. I for one am spoiled by cable.

If you ask me, too young too worry about that :-)

Well, at least no one accused foreigners this time around of causing the scare at the Lab. It's a start. lol

I agree. Reminds me of something close to home though- Judge Judy.

With the way the market is reacting to internet companies recently, I doubt Unix.com will go for anywhere near a million bucks...

That's a big flip side though, wouldn't you say? Yahoo Mail has yet to incorrectly put a legit incoming email of mine into the spam folder.

Here is a News.com piece on the new feature added to Yahoo Mail: "Yahoo adds spam filter to email, but will it work?"

One thing's for sure- it can't be that easy, since I don't even recall seeing any man-made wormholes in sci-fi shows like Star Trek.
