it's not that small of a price...for something i will probably use a couple times a month (more if i am in research).
So then in an average month you don't watch a movie, or listen to music, or read a book. The 'blurb' in that speech about $20/month was a proposed solution to DRM (Digital Rights Management) at a time when Napster was causing a problem.
I didn't see how any of the links only remotely had anything to do with Wikipedia, other than being critical of how Google has handled DejaNews (without offering any ideas for a fix, and yes Usenet is generally broken), and to 'infer evil' based on nearly the last paragraph of a 'vision speech' from 2001.
The story was about how a random number generator, which produces 0 or 1 (like a coin flip), somehow taps into the collective human conscious to predict the future. Deviations from a.5 average is said to indicative of a disturbance in 'the force' (if you will). Like I said in the title to this comment, it is not binary, it's a play on the statistics generated by this technique.
IMHO, only one person who responded to my post 'got it' for sure (the flat-lining comment). Which is exactly the message I was trying to get across.
DSL service is a patch which uses the old of the phone services lines for providing fairly high speed internet access to an area withing a limited distance of the local 'central office' (you know the brick buildings with no windows and your phone service name on them). If you don't have one of them within a reasonable walk, it's likely that you'll never get DSL.
Microsoft is basing that claim by number of patch distributions, not by size for severity, cute. So, just because they (usually) wait up to a month to release a patch, somehow they are better FUD never had so much meaning. I'd be outraged, but words like this are so expected.
Unrelated. Amazon can show whatever they want, and recommend whatever they want.
But they do often show alternatives to the item. The only real difference is that Amazon has a relationship with the vendor, while Google may not.
This entire problem can be solved by getting that judge to take a look down a supermarket isle, they often have 'pay for placement'. If I go looking for brand-x, but brand-y paid for a better position, I might just end up with brand-y, exp if the price is right. Also, if you walk in and ask for brand-q, should they send them out of the store, or is it ok to suggest a competing product.
After all, browsers are no threat to Microsoft's main revenue sources.
Microsoft feared Netscape because as people start to use their browser for online services such as mail, or office programs, it wouldn't matter what OS they use. Today there are many sites which 'need' MS Explorer, if your online bank is such a site, you would 'need' to have a Microsoft OS (if you wanted to see your statement).
If it was the word of an omniscient god, 'American Idol' would be mentioned in Revelations...
But it was!
In the end times, a great and evil master (Simon), from the nation of fog (England) will be lifted up by his minions, whom he shall cast aside(the Spice Girls), then he will capture the thoughts of the great nation from the dumpers of tea (Boston), to the eaters of potted meat products (Hawaii), he will first use his great powers to bring down the stream of talking (the telephone networks), then the great river of thought(the Internet). This shall be the final sign...
Wow scary!
I haven't read the Bible in a while, but I swear it was there!
This comment sounds very "insightful", but so does alot of philosophy. Real life progress is never as cut and dry, and if this thinking had its way, we'd never get anything done.
The very same can be applied to your comments themselves. I'll agree that in the larger sense we are 'natural', perhaps more correctly, 'acting in our nature', but the fact is - the Earth has been around for a long time before us, and will be here a long time after us. If we as a species what to exist for any long length of time we need to keep it in much the same way as it existed as we developed. Sure the world seems to do ok without the Dodo, and perhaps the balance of our existance doesn't hang on the existance of the spotted owl, but the more that we change things the harder we'll have living on this planet. Unless we really screw up things, the Earth will be here when our Sun goes out, but will humanity. The good thing about our nature is that we can make choices based on intellegent rational descisions, the trouble is that have those choices, and we need make sure that our logic is geared to existance of mankind, not of our (your) every creature comfort.
Do you think there would be so many programmers writing viruses and spamming tools as there are now if there were more good paying jobs for people who like to program? It doesn't matter what you teach people...it matters what you pay them to do with their skill.
*Perhaps* there would be fewer, but many criminals (spammers, etc, included) are malcontents becuase they are malcontents. Even if there was 110% employment for programmers, there would still be these criminals. You don't have to go futher than slashdot to see the unpaid efforts of trolls.
There are good entry level jobs in there, often they call for a degree or experience. I'll agree with the Karma saving AC above me that your resume needs a fair amount of good solid work.
The most important thing is to emphize all of the technologiges which you have worked with and push the programming experience to the top of the list of duties. For example, I am not just a Java programmer, but J2EE, servlets, JSP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and I have experience with WebLogic, WebShere, Tomcat, Unix, Solaris, MS windows, Axis, Ant, etc. Most of the people who sort the resumes are just looking for key words which match the job description and don't really read it. Also, if you don't already have it get a MS Word version of your resume (everyone asks for it). Professional certifications, from Sun, Cisco, or, yes, even Microsoft, could help (but not as much as they used to). One more thing, you need to move the 'desktop support' down to the bottom of the list; You're looking for a programming job, not Desktop support.
BTW your email link is clever, but is broken in the mailto.
But seriously, does a policy like this do anything but encourace people to write down their passwords?
What really makes it insecure is when they don't write down the 'password deJour', and you find a massive explosion of password reset calls to the help desk. To be truely secure a password reset call would need to involve a corporate security contact, to physically verify that they are who they say they are, but in practice most help desks will reset anyone's password with just a minimum amount of info.
If you were a spammer or something, scalability to large ammounts of e-mail addresses and cheapness in bulk would be important (godaddy is great for this).
I didn't know that GoDaddy was a spam friendly company, I think that it's time to update my black hole list!
Personally I use registerfly.com and I pay the extra money for "spamfly" which hides my contact info. So when I libel someone they won't be able to easily find out that my home is (let's say) in *******, **, and sue me. I pay for an separate VPS server, so I can't say anything about thier email hosting, but I do use thier nameservers and never have had a problem.
Good luck finding a Job, I don't have any real leads for you, but I'm a 5 yr Java/J2EE programmer (employeed), looking for a senior position. I've gotten a lot of good leads from Dice.com and Monster.com. Say hello to the girls at the Canton Inn for me!
so I only get Dutch (and Belgian) news hits. I haven't figured out yet how to circumvent this as I'm not primarily interested in that news.
I'm guessing that your browser's locale is being read by the website. An HTTP call includes your locale, this can be read by a website to provide automatic language (and sometimes) cultural customization. Perhaps that is what's happening to you? I don't have a lot of experience with i18n, but reading the locale is a lot easier than depending on IP address, in particular in Europe where a number of languages are used within a relatively close area.
Is how the image was produced in the first place. As best as I know, it's unique to (at least) medievil tech. Does anyone out there have a good scientific explaination for it? Perhaps it could be a History Channel show, "God Tech".

Someone in your apartment block deals drugs? Guess it's time for a drug forfeiture sweep. Doesn't matter if you're found innocent, you can kiss your worldly possessions goodbye.
Cite one example from a reputable news source. I believe that they have gone a bit too far on some the accussed, but I don't know of one case where they seize assets just because your a neihibor of a drug dealer.
A quick read of the 'pair of boots story' shows that it's a British tale, and ain't just about boots. Quoted from your story:
Of course, it is not just a matter of supplying boots. The men held without trial are also accused of funding terrorism through credit card fraud, membership of terrorist groups and association with other known terrorists.
Of course being 'held with out trial' says alot in itself and the Patriot Act scares me, but you wild accusations need to be countered, Strongly. Sure there are bad Cops, but most are decent hard working people trying to make a living knee deep in shit (your comments for example).
I just downloaded the demo, and I have got to say the I am overall impressed with the tech, I can see glaring problems with the implementation.
for the most part it looks like this is ment to be a desktop. Sometimes I have trouble finding what I need on my desktop now, can you imagine what would happen when all your documents are on your desktop? I can see this as useful for someone who likes to keep lots of items on thier desktop, but right now I wouldn't use it much.
I could, however, see this as good for a very very large screen, some kinda of hand (or eye senor) and (in particular) fuzzy logic for searching. i.e. "display all my pictures from last Christmas", the system shows thumbnails, you point at what you need, or wave to go back and forth.
I guess that we'll see in ten (or twenty) years if he strikes gold once again.
Now is the time to use all of those crazy ideas you see in Dilbert. Think of yourself as Dogbert and go to it, perhaps you'll inspire the next generation of cartoonists!
AKA, really, unless you are senior level mgmt, there really is little you can do to really influence the workplace, and some general ideas would be useless in many places. How about give everybody an office with a door!
Walmart is selling on (without monitor) for just under $200. I don't know what decade your living in but, the only people who pay $2,000 for a new PC are hard-core gamers, and early tech adapters. The PC market is very price competitive
In fact that machine is an example of consolidation of function, creating a lower price; it has integrated Ethernet, graphics, and audio. What we now think of as the processor used to be several chips with individual function.
As the AC right above me points out, it is a charitable trust. That Charitable Trust was funded with Microsoft stock, in a similar manner as the Milton Hershey School Trust, which now is worth around $5 billion dollars.
The 'nice' thing about a Charitable Trust, is that you can give your vast sums money to charity, but maintain control over the stock of the company you founded. People said many mean things about Carnegie in his day (most of it was fair), but he's remembered today mostly for his charitable giving (Carnegie Hall, et al).
