altavista.net, the.com belonged to some other company (though DEC did eventually get hold of it), and the mail accounts were actually handled by mail.com, not altavista.digital.com.
So 999,999 is not a real article, which makes Jordanhill railway station 999,999. 1,000,001 is spam, so the real millionth article is the Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions, which is even more pointless than an article about some suburban railway station in Glasgow.
MonopolySoft is manufacturing hardware that is dependant on RedHat's GPLed software to work. Even if they are not distributing Red Hat itself, I would not like to put money on them being cleared of violating GPLv3 because of this dependancy which they deliberately introduced.
The only way RMS can get away with his little DRM hissy-fit
When you've finished with your straw man hissy fit, perhaps you'll realise that in the real world, HardCorp will fail. Their entire product range relys on you buying an operating system which you cannot get from the same supplier as the hardware, and installing it yourself, in a world where 99.9% of end users buy their hardware (servers and GNU/Linux Desktops included) with the operating system preinstalled, and the other 0.1% are smart enough to know better than to fall for this scam.
MS Live has unusable resolution in its aerial photos for places outside the US, and zillow doesn't have anything, so for the majority of the world, Google is the clear leader. US-only coverage is a sign of immaturity (Google Maps was there about 2 years ago).
More worrying is the concept of Adsense being used to decide guilt upon the part of google. If a torrent search engiine site has google ads does that mean google gets hit with a lawsuit for illegal torrents?
Turned around, does this mean we can go after the advertisers for hijacking our computers with adware and spyware?
so why does copyright infringement the ipso-facto crime of the century?
Because a known IRA member was once (in the 1980's I think) caught selling "pirated" cassette tapes at a car boot sale. On that basis, MPAA, RIAA and the Governments that support them now go after copyright infringement as if it always supports terrorism.
I don't know about.NET, but keeping multiple versions of the JVM around is easy. And in 99.9+% of cases, upgrading the JVM is not going to break anything, so after a thorough test you can get rid of the old one anyway.
It's not illegal to run cars over 50k km, just the tax structure on vehicles encourages people to get rid of them after 5 years (when they've mostly done around 50k km). You need to be careful when buying a second-hand car or engine from Japan though. The fact that they don't intend to keep them past 5 years means that maintenence can sometimes suffer, and depending on the area the car is from it can have various problems caused by spending most of its life stuck in traffic jams or on salted roads.
Region coding allows the studios to sell the exact same product in India for far less than they sell it in Germany, and not have to worry about those dastardly Germans buying mail-order from India instead of paying their own vastly inflated rates.
When an industry sells products in foreign countries cheaper than in their home market, it is called dumping, and trade sanctions usually result. Why has this not happened to the MPAA?
The original York and Pennsylvania are in England, so I guess they should count as New England, but New Jersey is stretching it a bit. At least that's how I always thought the term "New England" came about.
I thought it seemed suspicious that the functionality was there and easily enabled with a registry setting, but disabled by default. The feature was obviously found to be buggy by Microsoft's QA and deliberately disabled for the release. I guess they figured that it was better to let the USB suck power than to have it fail on wakeup.
You don't have to use Korean IMEs and the pleasure that is 'Asianux' (think Lindows in its early days, and then try to imagine what must have been like 6 months before that).
Google has NOT shut down their chinese language servers outside China.
They have only ADDED servers in china that chinese folk can use to search WHICH THE CHINESE CITIZENS KNOW ARE CENSORED.
Do they also know that the servers outside China are censored? Because google.com is returning the same results as google.cn if you set your browser to prefer the Chinese language or add &hl=zh_CN to your query string.
They want them for anyone staying longer than 3 months, but this law only makes them compulsory for UK passport holders. So their usefulness for combatting illegal immigration is zero with the law passed yesterday, and IMHO near zero even if they bring in a fully compusory scheme. As for how they propose to combat terrorism with this, I still haven't heard any concrete proposals on that.
It is different because the email is not stored on a standards based IMAP or POP server, it is stored on RIM's server which talks to your Blackberry using a proprietary protocol, and to your corporate email server using a proprietary plugin which works only on Exchange. RIM's protocol and server add the important feature of "lock-in" to the system. Yes, you could do it all with SMTP and IMAP, but "Blackberry and Exchange" sounds a lot more user friendly to the people who make purchasing decisions than "IMAP and SMTP".
Maybe in the next conference call, the OP should try giving the management team financial advice based on an article he read in Wired (or some other non-finance semi-technical magazine).
That's right, it makes it impossible for linux to be used at that level of security - the level at which you want a machine only to run binaries from a trusted source.
You can always generate your own keys for that purpose.

This still isn't new. New Zealand had a methanol to gasoline conversion facility in 1986 (Motonui).

But WHY? Does everyone get to have their job listed in Wikipedia now?

They do. All the time. Perhaps you should get on to your local media about the fact that they only show one side of the story.
£80 fines all round for that lot.

Jersey is most certainly not in England, it's an island off the French coast. Pennsylvania is in Exeter.

In countries where personal freedom was completely revoked, there is little record. Of anything.

More to the point, can it tell the difference between my pocket in a cinema, and my pocket in my boss's office?
