With most merchant accounts offering 99% approval rates, if your company falls in the other 1%, it probably can't accept cards anyway (due to the type of business or other factors, or you're just plain shady). I feel bad for the people defrauded by the merchants who used this processor.:(
Yep, the telcos are trying to kill them. They're just going to keep finding stuff till Vonage dies. Then the telcos can increase their prices since they end up being the only game in town. Simple as that.
You know it's going to happen. And then Sprint Nextel and the other carriers will be congratulating themselves at maintaining the hold they have on telecom.:(
And it'd be sad if it disappeared, but Apple Mail, Evolution and Gmail are better options on non-Windows platforms. That's probably why it's not as popular as it should be.
(also, if you're careful enough, Outlook and Outlook Express are perfectly usable on Windows, especially the newer versions)
Yeah, English is a bit silly like that, no? What I meant to say is that unless I get a subpoena (or DMCA request) or if your Web site slows down the server, I probably won't touch it. (if it's something that's definitely illegal, like pirated music or applications, and I see it before the copyright owners do, I'll take it down)
I stopped supporting AT&T after the NSA fiasco. I refuse to buy anything of theirs again (sadly, this also means no iPhone, assuming that the hackers can't unlock it with 1.1.1 firmware).
There are alternatives that aren't evil. For instance, for hosting: my service (shameless plug) -- unless it's illegal or interferes with other clients, I won't touch it.:)
If you're using Office 2007, you can probably hack something together really quickly to pull the meta tags from the files and put them in a database. Not sure about the other formats you need, though--and support from Google, for instance, would probably be beneficial for your company anyway. Hope that helps!
I think this has to do with globalization. It's become easier to move around, so one has to learn the most common languages (English and French) in order to succeed. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it might not be all that good for certain things either, as seen here...
By how much would our energy use go down if we transitioned to servers and network equipment that use less energy? 9% seems like an awful lot to me, especially since the US relies on coal for its power production (something that generates lots of CO2)
If the RIAA really had a case, they'd talk to kids from Harvard too. And since the Harvard kids were told to say no, the RIAA could sue the Harvard kids to oblivion. This only means one thing: the RIAA letters are extortion, plain and simple.

Meanwhile, I "explained the selection process" to your mom last night. ;)
But really, there needs to be a bit more transparency for stuff like this.

...in learning something difficult?
Ballmer's comment seems really prick-like to me. It probably wasn't meant as such, but still.
Hmm. That means there's still lots of IPs available (if bright blue = unused), right?

It'll get worse. For the US, rather.
But I wants me some video choice!~
;)
I guess the exchange rate applies to intelligence too, eh?
One implies the other, but I probably do need to be clearer on that. Thank you for the suggestion. :)
Thank you, that is very much appreciated. :) There don't seem to be all that many places that are ethical these days.

I was thinking of pulling the XML tags from Office 2007's XML format...

It really didn't feel all that long, but I guess when the world completely changes on you, you don't tend to notice.
:D
Here's to another ten years of Slashdot.

You have no chance to survive make your time. :)
Sometimes I feel like sleeping at my current job. This seems pretty obvious to me.

Can the judge order the stuff stricken from anything publically viewable? I imagine he can.
...but the people who are on it. But still, I applaud them for standing up to the bully that he is.
As long as they're not restricted to Windows (see: Winmodems) :D
Mostly only innovating when they're threatened... (see: US manned space program after the Soviets sent someone into Earth orbit)
...and bullying everyone else in the meantime.
