On the other hand, being recognized as a common carrier, makes it impossible for an ISP to participate in, for example, any sort of anti-spam blacklisting.
OSE library (which I highly recommend) provides some STL facilities: universal iterators, rank actions for arbitrary objects, etc. - but IMHO is easier to use than raw STL.
Blitz++ to my knowledge uses valarray and lots of template programming.
1. US politicians (and citizens in general) should be gung-ho about influx of H1 workers. They pay tons in taxes (as they are by definition "educated" and "qualified"), but offer no liabilities as far as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment benefits, etc. go.
2. The large US companies seem to be the most vocal about H1 visas. The same companies (due to the economies of scale) would have minimal trouble in setting up local offices and hiring people in their home countries - no waiting for INS, and frequently more lenient labor laws.
My personal guess is that the companies know that if they can pluck somebody out of their normal habitat and place them in some Bumfsck, USA - where even the natives have trouble finding a social life amidst suburban desert - these H1's will have nothing else to do (for some time at least) but work overtime.
So, what's going on with all these Internet and Globalization thingies? Do you know that it costs now less to call, say, Australia than another town in you home state?
Einstein didn't conceive either special or general relativity theories in vacuum. His work was based on the work of the "other" great contemporaries - Hilbert, Minkowski and Poincare, to name a few.
Don't forget that it was Hilbert who wrote the righthand side of the basic general relativity equation (matter tensor).
Just because a "mildly" educated Joe Blow knows the names of whopping 2 physicists - Einstein and Hawking - doesn't mean he's right.
People who sneer at these new laws and say: well, I'll just encrypt everything and then forget or erase the private key.
They forget that any encryption strategy is only as strong as your ribcage (when occifers kick it) or your a**hole (when you're in jail for contempt of court).

Seriously, I don't understand why would anybody outside Latin America ever expect to find a team webpage at corinthians.com. Or why would anybody outside USA/Canada be aware of rangers.com as a website of NYRangers?
The Russian economy has never been stronger, owing greatly to the recovery of lost natural resources in areas experiencing seditious activities (most notably Chechnya, which you seem to know a little about).
I wish it was true, but it is not!
Russian economy and agriculture is still something like 50% below what is used to be 10-15 years ago - before the country was divided and plundered in the name of capitalist ideals that the country's people and leaders had almost no clue about. When the Russian gov't tells the world that "things are looking up," they mean "compared to a total disaster" - one cannot fall down from the floor.
As far as Chechnya goes, their oil is of a very high quality, but there isn't much of it, and the whole infrastracture is destroyed.
There was no such silly thing. There was a kind of "radio-thru-cable" system, but it was up to people to buy the actual box. And these boxes were extremely low-tech and easy to disassemble.
The NYTimes article says in the end that "Mrs. Pirro said that Mr. Garon, who was running his business from his home computer, had $1 million in offshore bank accounts."
Now, 1) He probably didn't do his homework if they discovered his account - after all he's far from being the Public Enemy #n. 2) Are they saying we can earn cool 7 figures from our home spamming?
Yeah, I know the weakness, but won't tell you what or where it is or even how I'm going to exploit it. If you ask me, this is going to cause some serious drain on Freenet developing.
First I tried Mandrake 7.0 and RedHat 6.2 - it was pityful... I spend the whole week pulling my hair and running memory and "hardware exclusion" tests - including installing Win98...;-( Both distros would freeze at random points during the install or segfault even in text mode. Then I saw the light and it was called SuSE 6.4 - installed and detected everything the very first time.
I guess German engineering rules not only in cars!;-)
So far my gripes are with Netscape and KDE/Qt. I'm not sure it's Athlon-related, but these crash disproportionately often - even compared to my SUN Ultra 5 box
Please explain to me - the great unwashed one - why should I care about Python?
I mean I know exactly what Perl does for me - let's me have 1 script instead of 2 (sh + awk or sed). But if I need something clean or structured why should I use Python instead of, say, C++?
This is nuts! I want Microsoft split as much as the next guy - for The Great Interoperability Age in the computer industry. But one cannot create a company limited to one free product!
It should be: 1) Office (aka Productivity Apps) 2) All other OS (Windows XXX included) 3) Venture Capital/Investments
...He has not provided details beyond the fact that NetPD's software "works like 5000 Perl scripts running in the background doing Web searches and parsing the output" to identify thousands of user names very quickly. He insists that to say more would enable Napster and other MP3 programs to block the software by altering the display format (NetPD has fired the guy who wrote the Perl scripts).
Seriously, does anybody really think that they did anything more than simple query/parse/output hack job? And no, those "5000 people" were not ANN programs trained to recognize that "Genuine Metallica" beat.
If there's one thing one needs to learn before starting business, it is "shamelessly exaggerated self-promotion".

I don't use STL directly.
OSE library (which I highly recommend) provides some STL facilities: universal iterators, rank actions for arbitrary objects, etc. - but IMHO is easier to use than raw STL.
Blitz++ to my knowledge uses valarray and lots of template programming.
I am not sure what kind of C++ code is used to program the games, but g++ 2.95.2 chokes on the OSE library (both under Linux and Solaris).
Egcs 1.1.2 (aka 2.91.66) is a more stable choice, IMHO.
Also, STL from SGI is now up to version 3.3 - yay!
I don't understand two things:
1. US politicians (and citizens in general) should be gung-ho about influx of H1 workers. They pay tons in taxes (as they are by definition "educated" and "qualified"), but offer no liabilities as far as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment benefits, etc. go.

How much is your data worth? Will you cheap box have all the servery things? Here're just some:
- RAID
- Hardware monitoring
- Hardware redundancy
- ECC low latency RAM
- Over-engineered cooling
I bet when you add all of those, your x86 box will become much pricier.sarcasm=on

Before Einstein people thought there was nothing more to be learned about physics.
Bzzzt - wrong! That was Planck.
Why is it when people need to mention a physicist it's always Hawking or Einstein?
As many Russian politicians and government officials found out in the last few years, if you say/print something like this:
....
I know this guy who looks a lot like Mr. So-and-So, and he is a
Apparently this cannot be considered a legal libel, even though the end effect is the same.
IANAL!
