I guess we'll now get virii which will throw up an EULA and re-format your disk and sleep with your wife while you're not watching.
I guess its legal.. because you clicked on the legally binding EULA right?
I look at aadaware as an extension of my anti-virus application. IF something uninstalled it without my explicit knowledge and consent I would be pretty pissed.
Is not about the average income. Its about the income of the folks who have internet access. About a million or so people (vaguely rememever some surveys from NUA) have internet access and even fewer are accessing the 'net from home or a location where they could download and collect the MP3s.
Bottom line is that the median income of the folks with Internet access is well above the average income of the total population.
As the article says. If you're running a 1.current release of Apache on Linux, there is no significant reason to switch over.
On Unix, don't expect a big performance boost with the new release. In tests of Apache 2.0 vs. Apache 1.3.24 running on Red Hat Inc.'s Red Hat Linux 7.2, performance was nearly identical (though still very good). However, platforms such as Solaris and AIX, where a process switch is relatively slower than it is on Linux, will benefit much more from Apache 2.0's hybrid process/thread design.
Unfortunately, that an 'RC'. That would be equivalent of running an RC from Microsoft and expecting it to work in a production environment.
I'll hold off till Apache 2.1 and a later build of PHP before I move my websites to it. Again, I'll only do that if there is a major performance increase. The bottle necks I have right now on my website are related to mod_gzip and php ( generating dynamic content ), NOT related to Apache serving the content once its generated.
I've not researched Apache 2.0 well enough and there arent enough articles which document the performance increases in dynamic environments with Apache 2.0.
One of these days PHP will support Apache 2.0 and then we can revisit these benchmarks. Until then I'll write this off as a Zdnet troll for Slashdot attention.
There are several PCI cards out there. Most of them hold a stipped down PCMCIA card and plug into a PCI board.
More information here.. Netgear and 3COM. PCI Cards are really useful when you don't want to rewire an office to provide someone connectivity at their desktop. Ok. I'm just nitpicking.:)
To protect the integrity of the reputation of Amazon.com Associates as well as the Amazon.com brand name, you may not promote your site via certain forms of indiscriminate advertising, commonly referred to as "spamming." Accordingly, you may not promote your site via unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, or cross-postings to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not promote your site in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, domain name, or return e-mail address.
If I were Amazon, why would I pay 10-15% margin to someone who has not really promoted the product, but has hijacked the links?
They also probably violate this portion of the operating agreement.

promote sexually explicit materials
promote violence
promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age

TOKYO -- On the streets of Shibuya, Shinjuku and other popular teenage hangout districts in Japan, the days of composing a provocative pick-up line and mustering the courage to utter it smoothly are on their way out. Young lovers are letting Lovegety do the talking for them.
It was only a matter of time before the male and female Tamagotchi, toys that hook together to breed kids, would spawn another animal. And this one is at least as popular as its ancestors.
"In the two and a half months since the product entered markets, we've already shipped 350,000 Lovegetys. Right now we can't produce enough of them to meet demand," says Takeya Takafuji, executive of Erfolg, the company that manufactures Tamagotchi and Lovegety.
Affectionately called the "Lovege," the oval device has three buttons the user sets according to the kind of activity she or he has in mind: "talk," "karaoke," and "get2." (The latter is a wildcard -- but perhaps could mean "get to it.")
Once the holder selects a mode, the device searches for Lovegety holders of the opposite sex in a five meter radius. If it locates a holder with the same mode, the "get" light flashes and the device beeps, so the pair can find each other.
How about contactless smartcards like this? These allow you to purchase without the hassle of entering pin numbers and giving your card to someone else. Also, the explict consent is given when you take your wallet out and hold it up against the reader ( you do not need to get the card out of the wallet and hand it over to someone ).
They also have a geeky watch which you can use if you really don't want to remove you wallet and want to wave your hand very close to the reader.
This is currently handling close to 6 million transactions a day in the public transport system in Hong Kong, on buses, on the metro, in various shops ( starbucks / 7-11 ) etc.
The cards can be recharged at thousands of locations in HK, by transfering money using your ATM card, or by depositing cash.
The cinemas in Hong Kong would run the western movies at about 22-24 frames/second to speed up the movies. They would also cut out scenes where there was a lot of "dialog". God forbid anyone would really want to listen to the movie.:)
Add to that the expensive costs of maintaining offices in Hong Kong and other places like Singapore. Each of those offices would cost around a million US$ a year (assuming they have a staff of about 3 or 4 each). Adobe should realise that this is the cost of staying in the game. Local offices will help them recover costs. Its a lot easier to work with the various customs / law enforcement agencies, not matter how remote the chances of them recovering license costs are, when you're local.
At current bandwidth rates, I can get about 1GB/month for about US$2 or so from a provider connected to a network like Verio. Which basically means you're paying for about 5GB/month bandwidth.
All the webpages loose their "content" and turn into advertisements, like on TV. For those of you complaining, I'd recommend spending your energies working on a viable micropayment system which will allow the webmasters to keep their content driven sites open.

But, inexplicably and sadly, the movie suddenly falls right off the cliff, degenerating into a dumb, improbable, almost cartoonishly violent mess. Spoilage warning: plot is discussed, but not ending.
Err.... the sad part was that it did not give me any further reason to read the review. It was a spoiler for a spoiler review.
I'm just going to be a little bit picky since you started it.
Apache has nothing to do with the OS. Many W2K machines out there run PHP and Apache to serve up sites, use Exchange for their email and W2K file services for their file sharing.
Also, Linux/Apache servers are also doubling as mail servers in *most* cases that I know off. The ISP's and hosting companies rarely ever seperate the mail functions from the webserver.
Some times I'm amazed with the whole theory.. "people / companies who're in debt can easily get more money".
I run a smallish website which does a few million pageviews a month, and more than breaks even. Yet, I've never had a hosting provider who did not ask for my credit card or payment upfront. Am I just stupid? (Ok.. lets not answer that question.)
I had to point people to this brilliant editorial on the gold standard...
To-day's Message concerns the importance of maintaining the gold standard, which has long been the bed-rock of monetary policy in our Great Republic. The printing of more green-backs would only prompt inflation and severely under-mine the Republic's over-all prosperity...
More here. Yep, has as much relevance to this topic as this one has to a non-US reader like me.
Do yourself a favor... Count from 1 to 6000. Don't go too fast, that's one human life you're counting there! See how long it takes you to count from 1 to 6000. With each number you count, imagine an innocent civilian dying an incredibly violent death. CIVILIAN, not somebody who's job is to die fighting for the government, but somebody who had no control over that action, and paid the price for somebody's hatred.
Now do yourself a favour and count from 1 to 15786. With each number you count, imagine a civilian, often innocent, dying a violent and sometimes long and prolonged death. CIVILIAN.. killed due to a drunk driving related incident. Yes, the WTC attack was dastardly cowardly and unforgivable, yet sometimes we need to keep in perspective that there are other evils that we need to keep a watch on.
I've got server space and bandwidth required for those who have archives / personal sites which cover the recent incidents at the WTC / Pentagon. Drop me an email on shrirch@hotmail.com if you want a sub-domain on crisisforums.com a site that I've setup a few days ago, primarily to help the hundreds of Indians who were involved in this tragedy.
In the mean time.. we're still looking for my wife's cousin who works for Instinet and was at the WTC Tower 1/100th floor at the time of the strike. His photo is here. Please email us if you have more information.
I've got something like this setup on crisisforums.com.. strange how many people get the same idea in different parts of the world at the same time. Basically wanted it to be a repository of information about people from various sites. Then figured that it could serve as a larger site.

It's mod_gzip from Remote Communications. You can also get dedicated hardware to manage compression from Packeteer.
Err
Actually I do belive that there is some truth to this. There seems to be an airport which is made out of a significant cardboard composition.
