Your odds are much better if you spam AOL. at my last job I even got complaints form AOL users when I took down a spammer's website.
Yea the percentage of respondents is low for the rest of the net but if your a total obnoxious bastard you can make good money that way.
That is of course if you don't mind having to have an unlisted number _with_ call privacy.
heh Spoken like somone who has no idea what they are talking about.
Don't knock 64 bit integer math.
And more importantly they have more registers to work with so your not constantly having to juggle. Intel and AMD pull some overly smart tricks to minimize the speed impact of that but it's not the same really.
X86 really is crap as an arch the only reason its so big is momentum.
I really do prefer working with buisness that treat me as something other than a number. Whre I used to work there was a mass of food chains in the food area it's all boring with the exception of this older Lebonese guy who knows exactly what I want to eat and how I like it prepared. Not bad for a place I only eat at twice a week.
OTH I *hate* buisnesses who demand all sorts of information they don't even need. How does knowing my birthday and income level let them give me better service?
Yeah except "some section of some law" happens to be bogus. And they even tend to be vilotaling the proposed law they were quoting.
That was all I really pointed out I have NOTHING against filtering that block of text. Anytime they provide such an easy means of filtering it should be taken advantage of.
I also didn't say there were no laws at all just *that* block of text is a bogus attempt at making people not fight them and Sadly, the trick works .
WHen I'm behind the wheel I want to be paying attention to the road.. not swapping cds or finding some station that doesn't totally suck.
Mp3? fine.. but now I have to keep that content updated. I'm essentially very lazy.
Radio could offer so much more then it does mindlessly jabbering in the mornings.. the same song sover and over until I'm sick of them, music styles I hate etc
This has the potential to be a better idea but only if it's done right.
There is no law that they happen to be "complying with".
The propossed bill that they keep quoting not pass even if it had it required a valid return address wich they don't happen to supply. It's just a lame attempt at keeping you from taking action.
But yea go ahead and filter anything with that block of text.
What generally happens here is that we sell one thing to one customer who changes his mind a coupple of times... and my boss will sell somone else something fromt he same codebase who will want new features.
And no if it were up to me I would have been gone long ago but no one has even given me an interview lately.
This is the diffrence between somone porting their own apps and trying to emulate a file format that happens to be designed to provide it's authors with more leverage.
Do you know *anybody* other then MicroSoft that has maged to render MSword files corrently?
The StarOffice folks giving up and going with XML instead was the best idea they had in a long time.
Slashdot Mirror
If only 10% of the people actually know how to do it then they still lose. Somone in that top 10% is bound to just write an app or instrictions.
Take script kiddies as proof of this. How many kiddies actually know how those "hack programs" work?
Why bragging about getting a 2 meg memory upgrade for the XT of course...
yes yes I know some of you THINK it can't be done but that's what the EMS standard was originally for.
Why they ever emulated the XT memory upgrade interface on the 386 is beond me.
I have one .. but it's on the west coast of Canada right now(I'm on the east)
;)
Though depending on how critical that data is I'm sure something can be arranged
I actually purchased one of these last year on a whim.. It's made by IBM and has a standard SCSI interface.
Just as I was wondering where to get tapes for it.. Ifind out they just stopped.. ARGH
Hate to say it but it semi works..

More people need to take this guy's advice.
Sending 32 000 emails is simply NOT an acceptable way to get your point across. I can see why Intel is pissed and they have every right to be.
As a system admin it's life.. if I don't keep servers updated ahead of the kiddies I get pages defaced.
Penalty for me: yelled at by boss and now I have to reformat server. Score 1 point for the kiddies and I learn for next time.
I don't care much unless they do something lame like use the box to DDos or something equally lame.
If you find your site defaced more than not it's a sure sign that something is not right with the tech department.
Mind you I've not had a production site defaced in over 2 years.
I just don't get it.. it's a freaking coffee machine with a web cam pointed at it.
Now if it had an ethernet port and a built in webserver showing how hot the coffee is and how much is left it would be a whole nother matter.
You mean to tell me that overide debugging passwords like "Netscape programmers are weenies!" never ever make it into released code?
Heh that's the same thing my father used to say about the computer.
But that was before I got him addicted to minesweeper.

Trust me it's a lot easier to support clueless suers in Linux since they don't have access to destroy the machine anymore.
UI can be just as userfriendly. I had to do that after people kept taking out my windows install by accicent(at least once a month)
But they ARE making changes suitable to their software. With a massive ram upgrade you might even have enough for whatever comes after XP.
Actually MicroSoft is quite open about their love for the BSD licence. It's the GPL they hate.
Lies lies and more lies heh

And no if it were up to me I would have been gone long ago but no one has even given me an interview lately.
Meanwhile I have a coder to my right who is _pissed_ because his predecessor didn't even bother to meat the stated design goals.
I also have a boss who can't make up his mind what features he wants and customers who are even worse.
You don't work as a programmer do you?
You make a number of unfounded assumptions.
1. That the coder maintaining is the coder who wrote it in the first place.
2. That the customer/management knows what they want at the start.
Agreed especially about the juno part. Juno is enough of a pig to bring even a reasonably modern budget PC to a slow crawl.
Old code does indeed age.. what happens when you tweak a program to do something you hadn't thought of when you designed it?
What happens when you cludge it a coupple more times?
Eventually you need to go back and redesign the section you are working on from the ground up with all of your goals in mind.
This is not throwing out the old knowlege it's learning from it and there are plenty of examples where it's worked out for the best.
What was spelled out in the interview was a recipy for a buggy mess.

Not really .. shaw got a clue a long time ago and started on their own backbone. The only thing that broke/will break are the @home email adresses.
