It's been extremely difficult finding candidates because for website design and development, there is an extremely high ratio of signal to noise in quality candidates.
It's not just web development, there's a reason large companies have a whole department dedicated to sorting through the crap.
I'm pretty sure the Internet Explorer and Office teams have a competition going on how far they can get away with breaking the Windows UI guidelines and still manage to ship it past QA and management. The Office team used to be well ahead, but with IE 7 the IE team are starting to get closer.
It will be difficult to sustain sales of special editions of whole albums at this pricing, but there will probably be a sustainable market for single songs at equivalent pricing levels. Perhaps even a market for selling individual tracks separately for remixxing.
When NIN released this, I thought it would be a great development for bedroom DJs and aspiring producers who live in small towns, too far removed from the music scene in-crowd to get access to this sort of thing normally. I'm disappointed that it has sold out so quickly, the limited nature of it prevents the kind of revolution I was thinking it could lead to.
I was on one flight a couple of years ago where there literally wasn't space in the overhead to store my (relatively) small computer bag (I was seated in a row that had no under seat storage, so anything i had had to go in the overhead). One flight attendant was most insistent that my laptop would have to be gate checked;
On a flight I was on recently, the flight attendant offered to put a woman in the exit aisle's bag in the toilet for takeoff and landing because there was no space in the lockers. She was a bit reluctant until told the only alternative was putting it in the hold, which would delay the flight.
she said that there was security at the gate in one of the airports.
That's the case for a lot of airports that handle large numbers of international transit passengers. Singapore and Amsterdam are two places I've seen it.
They have been used for over 60 years as an alternative to antibiotics in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but have not yet been generally accepted elsewhere. In the case of MRSA, an infecting phage causes the bacteria to become more virulent and difficult to contain.
In Soviet Russia, the bacteria are infected by you!
I just tried it now. On Firefox (2), I opened about 10 tabs, and they opened almost as fast as I could hit Ctrl-T. On IE7, the first 3 tabs opened immediately, after that there was a few seconds delay for every tab.
That is, you can exploit the work for the most money immediately upon publication in some medium, with the value steadily and rapidly decreasing thereafter. E.g. a movie sells the most tickets on opening weekend, and fewer every week after until finally it is so unprofitable that it leaves the theaters.
The GP was talking about artists. You are talking about the commercial products of media companies. They have very different economics. For artists, their works increase in value as they become better known. Commercial media products are specifically produced for immediate consumption by the masses. Perhaps the taxes should only apply to them, but where do you draw the line?
They don't seem to be distributing the Shareasa client. They seem to be distributing the iMesh client rebadged as Shareasa 4. The only copyright infringement seems to be the use of the Shareasa project's logo on their website. The biggest problem is trademark infringement and passing off, but the former is going to be difficult to pursue without registering the trademark first, which they don't have the money for.
n his first letter he seems to have avoided the obvious traps
He did however acknowledge the legitimate existence of the open source Shareasa client, which should help with any trademark or passing off lawsuits that the developers want to bring against Discordia.
I don't see SAP alone as being a major growth product at this point in time. It's aimed at fairly massive corporations, and I think by this point, most of the existing companies that see a need for something like SAP have already implemented one.
The thing with massive corporations is that they could afford big iron back when big iron was the best solution for certain problems. SAP is still making a lot out of the modernisation of these old systems. My wife is currently working on a migration from a proprietary AS/400 system to SAP across the EMEA region of a TOPIX Core 30 company. To give some idea of the scale, the project (EMEA only, US and Asia were done before this phase started) is nearing completion after 3+ years.
You mean you have the energy left to take your clothes off and hang them in the server-room closet before you slump over your keyboard for the night? You obviously aren't getting in enough WoW.
Our $30m+ competition for a new ERP system came down to SAP vs Microsoft.
Let me guess, you work for Microsoft? I say this because I have heard that Microsoft's main criteria for choosing an ERP system was "not Oracle" (they eventually decided their own software didn't cut it and went with SAP). Most people would consider JD Edwards, Siebel and PeopleSoft way before Microsoft entered the equation.
One of Microsoft's problems is Google. Their other problem is Oracle. Now do you see where SAP fits in? They're about the only major enterprise software company that Oracle still hasn't bought.
RMS is just too busy with more important things like software freedom in general and needs to delegate.
Exactly. The only reason RMS was maintainer again during 22.1 development was that noone else came forward when Gerd stepped down. He saw out the 22.1 release, but his lack of time is reflected in the development cycle for Emacs 22, which was long even by Emacs standards.
Vodafone UK consistently gives me around 350kbps, but then my house is line of sight to an HSDPA equipped tower. I have seen peaks getting close to 1Mbps. On the other hand, trying to use my phone to read my email on the train the other day, I got 14k of headers down in half an hour. It seems the 3.5G network is not particularly mobile.
My ADSL on the other hand gives a consistent 5.5Mbps down, and 280k up.
Normally providers offer a "wap" access point, which has all this "optimisation for phone screens" proxying, and an "internet" access point, which is a raw connection. The proxy often becomes the bottleneck when using a high speed connection, so it is worth trying the "internet" access point instead, especially if you're using the phone as a modem. Check the terms of your service though, the cheap data bundles like Web-n-walk might not cover use of the internet access point, and if this is the case and you don't find out until they bill you a month later, you could end up with a huge bill.
I once challenged the terrorism scare tactics used on the UK MPAA equivalent's unskippable advertising at the start of movies under false advertising regulations. It turns out that the claim is based on a single case in the 1980's where a known IRA member was arrested for selling bootleg cassette tapes at a boot sale in Belfast. Since there is a single case "proving" the link between piracy and terrorism, the ASA turned down the objections of myself and three others who complained about the ad at the same time, and the music and movie industry continue to spout the same bullshit.
Even just having the same person who scanned your bag searching it would be an improvement. I recently took a trip through Heathrow, Schipol and Narita airports. I thought the whole liquid thing had been relaxed months ago, so I'd packed some stuff in my hand luggage that it turns out I shouldn't have. There were also some liquids in there that were OK under the current rules. Every airport flagged my bag up for a hand search as it went through the scanner. At Heathrow, they found one of the bottles that was OK, and flagged me through. Transiting at Schipol, they found the bottle of overpriced water I'd bought airside at Heathrow, confiscated it and flagged me through. At Narita, they found everything, but only by putting my bag through the scanner about 5 times.
In each case, the person searching my bag had no idea what they were looking for, and only Narita had a policy of putting hand searched bags back through the scanner to check that they'd found everything.

Trinitron is dying because CRTs are dying, and Trinitron is the brand of a patented CRT tube design. Sony's new "quality" brand is Bravia.
So? They've been serving free drinks in the first class lounge since you arrived at the airport.
