if you don't wanna be a manager ( and who does really), keep this role. Make sure you are visible ( as others have pointed out) and for your sanity keep coding either on side projects or in your free time ( assuming you have any)
This was the funniest thing I saw in the article

An editor at Reuters' photo desk in Washington confirmed that the maize-colored muppet did appear in the photograph. "It is in the original image, though I couldn't say how it got there. It wasn't hacked," the editor said.
It must be hard to actually have to work and get up in the morning so you can pay for your bills. And they won't let you play with NerfToys either!!
I was sick of you people before the DotCom run up and I am still sick of you people. Get a clue: 1. Hired to do a job that they had to teach you is bad news. 2. Playing games instead of doing work, bad news. 3. Did you LEARN?? No you went to bad company after bad company.
And I wish people would stop calling them dot bombs, you were the idiots that thought working for a company with no real product was wise.
Get a clue, jobs suck, people suck, the world sucks.
It's sad but true. The radical and extreme Muslim groups such as Hamas etc. have the world in fear. Muslims are not anymore violent than any other people, but when a kid wraps himself in tnt and nails and knows he'll get to heaven, well extreme actions are retaliated.....
He's buying CD's again because Slashdot's parent company has shut down the broadband link to reduce costs. Without a fast fat pipe the only way to get music in under 3 days is to *gasp* buy the CD. Welcome back to 56k and the dark side Taco!
Please don't do this. Transcoding almost always leads to very low quality files -- and will lead people who listen to them to assume that all the artifacts are due to OGG, and not to the transcoding process. MP3 encoding creates certain artifacts. Vorbis creates others. By encoding to MP3, and then Vorbis, you are getting 2 sets of artifacts, plus the Vorbis coder has to waste bits encoding the MP3-created artifacts. MP3 players aren't going to go away, so please don't transcode: re-rip instead.
Well you assume that all his mp3's are legal ripped copies from CD's he owns. if they are songs he downloaded, what choice does he have?
I had thought that Napster was going to fight this out to the bitter end.
You thought wrong. Fanning, I think never ever had intentions of being a poor college drop out. And how else would he make money? Why by selling his service.
Verizon is clueless. I have been checking on availability of DSL for 2 years now. Turns out I may be too far from the CO, but I may not be. No one I talk to at Verizon can tell me where my CO is located.
I first thought that central PA was getting left behind by Verizon but a town not far from me has DSL so it's here just not here
Yeah I was one of those 'acquired' by Earthlink. My latest fight with them? They claim that I was using 23 hours of simultaneous login. Ok but I have one PC with a modem and no one knows my username or password. I sent them an email and the dumbass rep told me that maybe I should consider buying another account if I didn't wanna pay for the extra login time. I got it straightened out via a phone call ( after I asked the rep on their Live chat *what* number I was calling from on the second log in and he had no clue). I'm gonna pay for June but this week I'm getting another ISP. They suck.
I think the biggest fear on Yahoo's side concerning adding charges is that no one will pay and go else where. Take a look at the Free ISP's. They served up free connections til they coulnd't afford it any more and had to start charging. People left them.
This is funny. I have a friend that has 26+ spyware programs on her PC but "doesn't care", so yeah I could say "hey switch to this program" but it ain't gonna happen.
Blah. I'm sick of hearing those with families whine and complain. I've been a junior programmer. I'm single. I've told managers that they are just hurting themselves when they 'skip' designing and following specs.
If I get fired, I don't mysteriously have this *huge* money tree to get cash from like some people think.
Well I just did a Search for "One" a song by metallica and although a lot of songs with "One" came up......none by Metallica. But I also then searched for Metallica and 100+ results displayed.......so you be the judge.

I'll tell my nephews that they won't be getting their favorite Disney toys tis Christmas because
they might support a law.
I am sure they will understand.

They actually created a bug for this?????

Is gnome better than KDE? Yes
Is AMD better than Intel? Yes
Is Mandrake better than RedHat? yes
Is red better than blue? sometimes
Shouldn't a federal court be trying determine if Interstate commerce was affected?

Like PT said, a sucker is born everyday

Simultaneous hours in this sense is if I log on and then without logging out I login in with a different modem with the same account.
Exactly. Donate to your hearts content. PBS doesn't receive 100% funding from the government ya know.
Some say that those stories were teh Old Testament.
If I get fired, I don't mysteriously have this *huge* money tree to get cash from like some people think.
I have been doing searches on napster the past three days using such terms as Metallica and Dr Dre and they all still show up withh 100+ results.
Come on. I'm all for copyrights but what kinda mess will we get into if the ISP's start filtering everything????
Bugging the telco's is good but they don't really care.
