I like having the sender pay the reciever whatever the receiver demands in order to accept the email. The receiver would have costs for unknown addresses (maybe higher costs for large messages), maintain a white list of senders for which no or a reduced charge will be applied and would be able to cancel charges once an email is read, etc. The sender, once knowing the charge for accepting the email, could simply cancel the attempt to send or accept the charges.
I would love to see this implemented, are their any projects currently working on this? I shouldn't be that hard to implement and could run alongside existing email. Getting people to use it would be a problem, I could receivers signing up, but I don't know about senders.
Of course FTP is important for professional webmasters, but private users dont need FTP or MySQL. They need an good but easy web hosting solution.
That's really an annoying stance to take though since a lot of 'private users' quickly outgrown the 'easy web hosting solution' and have to switch to full fledged hosting somewhere else. I better system would be to allow their hosting to group with their users.
but wikipedia says "Lawyers are recommended under ethical rules to contribute at least fifty hours of pro bono service per year."
Thats one of those things where you can't take wikipedia seriously. Lawyers all follow different guidelines, in the US alone, there are many different bar associations and as far as I know, pro bono work is optional under all of them. Certain individual law firms might make their lawyers do so much pro bono work, but that is far from saying that all lawyers are required to do so.
I said 'city' not local level. If I want a job in Peoria IL, I don't want to have to look through every job listed for central illinois. Also, you might break the jobs down by local level, but there is no way to search for anything other than state and then scan through all the state listings for your "local level".
Work from home scams need to be banned. A good job search website would have clear cut TOS on what types of jobs would be allowed and would have a "report this job as fradulent" link on all posts.
I would love a job website that didn't have 100 US Navy and US Army ads mixed in. If someone were interested in a US Military career, I don't think they would be looking for java programming jobs on dice.com or monster.
The TOS of any good job site should make it clear to recruiters that they can only post for jobs that they can fill, not generic jobs just to get your resume. Also there needs to be a way to filter recruiters for agencies out.
Also don't make me sign up for the website to look at jobs or receive email notifications.
"We're getting married" everyone nods and goes along with it and no change takes place in the game. What is there to ban then?? Better yet how could they ban it??
WoW doesn't have marriage in the first place.. People have mock weddings but there isn't really an ingame way to get married and have the software recognize it. A wedding in WoW is just a bunch of characters standing around in a church just like in every other mmo.
Most slashdotters feel that if they don't agree to the law then they don't have to follow it
Don't most people feel that way? Judging by the amount of traffic tickets given out and the amount of people that pass me on the highway, I'd imagine they do.

I usually enjoy the book reviews here, but this isn't that, this just appears to be an ad.

I've been working on Slashdotter Firefox extension for Slashdot users, and version 1.2 has been approved by the Mozilla admins.
Since when did Mozilla admins have to approve extensions?
I've always wondered why bookmarks don't sort themselves by most often used to least recently.
Because that would be annoying. It's just like the smart menus in office that are constantly hiding features that you need but don't use everyday.
Only high-profile speakers get their expenses covered by the conference itself, and only if the conference has a high budget.
No, if they want to hear what you have to say, they will pay for it. You probably just aren't that good at negotiating.
No, not all of them. But my license has my SSN right on it.
As your drivers license number or because you checked the box asking them to list it on your license?
Up until a few years ago, the default license # was your SSN
Maybe in some states, but definitely not all of them.
I see that you've switched to playing on private servers, can you suggest any good ones?
you can email me at my username @gmail.com if you want.
Thats the first thing I thought of when I read about boxxet.

jobbank is worse than a lot of existing sites, you cant even search by city.
I'm sick of seeing "open" or "market" for salary ranges.
I definitely agree on this one. If they are in the market for a new employee, they know how much the are willing to pay.

The same idea applies 1-to-1 to OSS. Tivo's software is one example of how the OSS ideal was distorted.
What do you mean by that?
WoW does have tuxes and wedding dresses as well as some purely ornamental robes, but there is nothing ingame to show that you are married to someone.

Exactly.

A more apt analogy would be, "would a 'Christian-friendly' guild be tolerated that actively recruited Christians?
and the answer to that is Yes. There are several Christian guilds and they are quite public about it.

Zeldman and the ALA people seem to spend a lot of time making workarounds for specific versions of IE, thereby elimating the main benefit of CSS.
