It can be done, just set that diploma as your goal and sort of coast along in the work -- doing your work, but not the "I'm working for a promotion or to expand the business" kind of work.

His showing also shocked the two parties into changine election policies, such as to make sure no third-party candidate gets in on the presidential debates in '96. It is impossible to make a good showing without being in the debates, so they eliminated him.
And don't forget the recent campaign finance laws, made to make it harder for other parties to raise money.

Netscape 7.0 is Out

I have a large school district about to switch over to Mozilla. They, like many educational institutions, refuse to use IE, instead sticking with Netscape 4.7x (NN6 was unusable).
I had a tech person install Mozilla over Netscape 4.79, and she was instantly impressed.
In a study of the price of higher learning a while ago, it was found that colleges upped their prices to appear to be higher quality institutions, this fit perfectly with an image the parents had that cheap colleges were no good.
Maybe it's the same with software. "If it's that cheap, you couldn't have done a very good job."
I remember that Apple one. OS 9 took a fraction of the install steps vs. NT. First, they should have compared to the popular OS, Windows 95/98, instead of the workstation OS. Second, after you had completed the shorter list of things to do and installed OS 9, you then had to go through and do most of what was done on NT during the installation (like networking) anyway. It was like World Com/Enron accounting practices.
However, this one seems to be fairly made, with both platforms up to the status of having the machine up and running with all normal services, connectivity and updates. Red Hat even had a disadvantage that it wasn't just a fresh install on a whole machine, instead having to have a partition configured on the 2K machine.
If it weren't for a certain couple of apps I need, I'd go with Red Hat.
In this case, it's all up to Australia (or any other country with cracking laws). If an exec's company breaks the law, that country can demand extradition if it has a treaty, putting up a big political stink. Other than that, the CEOs just have to know they can essentially never leave the U.S. unless they want to run the risk of arrest.
This would also hurt any company doing business in these countries. RIAA and MPAA member companies do a lot of business in Australia, exposing those local operations to fine or seizure, its officers to jail.
The pasing of this law by the American Government may be all the "lawful authority" that the Australians require.
The break-in would be occurring in Australia, not the U.S. If such international authority of U.S. law existed, there would be no law besides U.S. law. Remember the Helms anti-Cuba act, which let the U.S. sanction any foreign business doing business with Cuba? That didn't go far because the EU (which does lots of business with Cuba) didn't like the U.S. trying to extend our laws onto their turf.
Claiming immunity under the Campaign Contributor Hacking Permission Act might have just the same effect.
Contrary to calling congressmen to stop this thing, I'm thinking of calling them to keep it going. It's a gamble, but this law is sooo bad on both sensible and constitutional grounds (14th Amendment) that maybe it'll be the one to finally raise public awareness as to what's going on.
Aussies, time to amend your act to say that if someone performs hacking as a company employee, all officers in that chain of command are liable for jail terms up to the level the general action was even informally approved. We know Rosen loves the idea, so bye-bye.
Interestingly enough, Valenti is backing off because he realizes the bill allows any copyright holder to hack, not just the big guys.
This just shows how ineffective Apple has been at marketing its computers and how entrenched the PC is.
Here is a situation that seems to be custom made to bring in the iMac, and to reject power-hungry Intel/AMD chips. And yet these people put on their consumer blinders and bought a PC.
As aminorex said, large dataset != large app. I was working on a MySQL to go through gigabytes of server logs. It was a very small app, just lots of data for it to go through very fast.
As for corruption, etc., I haven't heard our slashdot admins complaining about it -- even kept up through the 9/11 traffic.

He said he was doing it to protect researchers from future hypothetical lawsuits (such as protecting what this guy wants to do). Let's hope this judge has more sense for the good of the people.
The slight lack of food in other countries is nature's fault, but the people and governments are pulling together to get everyone fed.
The starvation in Zimbabwe is Mugabe's fault, and would have happened (although maybe less severely) even if the drought hadn't happened. Imagine in America if they kicked off all the farmers and told us geeks we should take over production. How much food do you think we could grow?
This drought is the best thing that could have happened to Mugabe, as he gets to blame his failures on nature.
Don't forget that the RIAA 5 record labels are probably more experienced in professional bribery than ANY other gang of crooks... They've been strategically bribing radio stations for DECADES, directly, or indirectly, to get airplay and manipulate the charts.
The MPAA's current head, Jack Valenti, is extremely well-connected all the way back to Kennedy.
We're dealing here with people who can easily get stayovers in the Lincoln Bedroom with a simple friendly telephone call. That should tell us where our relative place is in today's political reality.

Doesn't that predate the Helms-Burton act? Anyway, I meant didn't get far in Europe, because someone finally had the balls to stand up to us.
