Not kidding. I work for a very large multinational and the corporate search engine is an excercise in frustration. It's purpose in life seems to be to return bizarre and obscure documents as the results of it's searches.
$20k is nothing to shell out[1] for the capabilities that Google has.
But the techique works. Every time they send a mail, they provide information about themselves, that info can be used to identify and bounce spam to real addresses.
I use From: because it's simple and gets most of the spam, other information from the headers can also be pulled out by formail and used to identify incoming spam. Reply-To: for instance may also be useful.
Multiply the radio number by 20 and that's the oldest age that you should be listening to that station.
Radio 1: up to 20 years old
Radio 2: up to 40 years old
Radio 3: up to 60 years old
Radio 4: up to 80 years old
Radio 5: Well, does anyone actually listen to radio 5?
Ignore PPC, it'll go away and be consigned to the evolution dustbin until someone comes up with a cheap motherboard that will allow the chips to compete in the open marketplace.
Until then, it's sales numbers aren't going to be distinguishable from background noise. Of niche interest only.
"I'm sure in most of the UK, you can get anywhere you want by PT within 15- 20 minutes of when you want to be there. Here, except in cities, if there is public transportation, it will get us to our destination within 40 to 120 minutes of when we want to be there. "
6 times the population density, 6 times the traffic density. Public transport is a joke in the UK.
Bigger issue than the power source. After all, you can strap a 500hp V8 and a big petrol tank to someone's back.
Perfect target for a heat seeking missile.
HTH HAND etc.
The thought process? "Make em pay to breathe."

Broadband Obstacles

Basically they want money for nothing. You can see the mentality as companies divest themselves of pretty much everything physical and become "Intellectual property owners" with multiple levels of subcontractors, each taking a cut.
I believe it's to do with the rise of the MBA. People who know nothing but the theory of business but not real business, just, the way they wish it could be.
Anyway, why aren't people buying broadband? Because it's too fucking expensive with the telcos trying to force their blended, homogenised crap "content" which they think is so wonderful down our throats.
I want a fast line to everything. I don't want to be forced to an ISP, I don't want "premium entertainment", video on demand but only from the tel/cable co. I don't give a flying fuck about 500 TV channels. Give me the fucking line and then get out of my way.
Basically, I want infrastructure. All the rest is frothy shit on top. Unfortunately, commercial organisations aren't very good at providing infrastructure. All they can think of is the frothy shit.

They may not understand and therefor just mod you out of the way.
And got modded out by some numpty philistine moderators.
Christ, I get the impression that they are giving bloody moderator points out to any MCSE these days...
Quality man.
Finding that vital piece of information can be far more important than $20k, especially to a large organisation.

Space travel will become feasable. In fact, it will be come *profitable* but it'll never happen while NASA are standing in the way monopolising space.
It isn't (yet?) highly integrated. Lots of on board components, makes for a more expensive system.
PPC is fated to be an embedded CPU only, unless the support hardware comes down in price.
It might be worth buying PPC after all.
Cost is all important though. Motorola do PPC boards but they cost two and a half grand. WTF?
niche. Motorola just aren't up to the job of making competitive silicon or support hardware like motherboards for a mainstream market.
Ignore PPC, it'll go away and be consigned to the evolution dustbin until someone comes up with a cheap motherboard that will allow the chips to compete in the open marketplace.

You'll still waste your life away stuck in traffic.
Suckers!
It's almost like magic.

I know of at least two small game developing companies who went bust after producing some very popular games.
Everyone had the games. They weren't even very expensive, just a couple of quid but 9 out of 10 copies were pirated.
These people are thieves. Nothing more, nothing less. Why should they be treated any better than a mugger?
Hell, they are treated a lot better. They are given a chance to do the right thing.
HTH, HAND etc.
What're they talking about? 20Gb of rand() output?
If so, they're a bunch or twits.
