if you bite the hand that helps you... will it reach again?
Although there is plenty of IT training here, most professionals do move over to the US for bigger pay. With the Australian dollar so low, US dollars are worth more to take back home.
But if where you are is important to you, take a look around, Australia has a lot to offer.
No other form of culture is ascending as rapidly. Compared to gaming, traditional kinds of culture -- some elements of book publishing, opera and classical music, dance, appear declining and endangered.
These are not cultures, these are forms of entertainment. Do Gamers avoid every other type of entertainment there is? I don't think so. Even the rise of better music in games is proof that they have other interests.
Culture is more than what you do for fun, especially more than one exact thing. It's beliefs, lifestyle, social behaviour, environment and more...
Ya can try and box people as much as you like Katz, but people are people, with multiple facets, moods and beliefs...
I'm young, I like games, classical music, books, dance, opera, alternative music, technology, philosophy, ethics and psychology.
if you want them to stay, then you must value them as people, not just employees you spent money on.
listen to what they have to say, then you'll have the answer
some get no respect in the workplace
some just have personal preferences for things: like dress codes, which hours they want to work, working from home, vacation time (paid or unpaid), ideas (who listens to them, are they acted apon)
but there are always people who need to move location for personal reasons: marriage, family needs, family crisis.
do you have a plan for those who need to move, but would still like to stay with the company?
try asking the employees, there's very few people out there who have no idea of what they want
People who like napster for the find-any-music-you-want aspect, won't have this under the agreement. People who like napster for the free music aspect, won't have that. Only people who like the pure convenience of mp3's will find overlap between the new and old services.
All of these people, and those who aren't yet on the net, do link the brand Napster, with music on the internet.
That's all they want.
International branding, especially purely internet based, is rather hard to get.
anyone out there compiled a list of technology aware politicians? (global)
anyone think there ARE any?
even if this isn't fully working now, people will continue to try...
for those bands that do, why are people using Napster instead of their site? do they know their site exists? if they have a site but have no mp3s, why would people not go to Napster to check them out?
but many bands out there have minimal or no web presence... maybe a fan site if they're lucky... some of their labels would like to pretend the web doesn't exist, that it's something they don't have to deal with... or they're just too tight-fisted to do a website...
since I first used Napster, I've bought more CDs than I ever have before... bands that aren't promoted in Australia, bands that I haven't liked the singles of, but love the rest of the album and even CDs that are just always out of stock... you can't listen to something instore that they don't have... and they won't order it in just so you can have a listen...
and then for my friends overseas, when I get a new CD that's not released overseas yet, they can find an mp3 to listen to with the song titles... I have many friends who now buy Australian music they'd have never heard otherwise...
Napster is file sharing, with the emphasis on sharing...
I don't believe most record labels treat their artists very well, I think it's time the music industry took a good hard look at the way it runs... times have changed... there'll always be resistance to new technology, but why not see if it can improve the way it works, or find a new way yourself...
when records were first invented it was believed that it would mean the end of live performing...
some ethics in business...
some credibility and intelligence in politics...
absence of bigotry and intolerance...
compassion for others...
religious and political freedom...
a helping hand for those in need...
more solutions... less babble...
looking toward the future...
I've had the good fortune to meet this rather peculiar individual.
If you're not aware he's a comic fantasy writer, you are now. If you don't like comedies, parodies and puns, you probably won't like him.
I prefer something a bit deeper, but if you're in the mood for a bit of fun, his books are that.
My favourite character is Death WHO ONLY SPEAKS IN CAPS.
If you think Terry might be a bit mad, he is, he likes black jelly beans.
He's also very tall, wears a feather is his hat and is very patient, signing dozens of books for my demented little sister, who owns everything he's ever written.

If every email in the US is subject to carnivore, won't that make international email to and from the US fair game?
Is this legal? ratified by the UN? *curious*

As my coding skills don't exceed HTML...
what's the possibility of designing programs that you can choose which features you want to install? customised...
But they do NOT insure that a program does what it is supposed to, or that it is intuitive in the eyes of the user.
intuitive in the eyes of the user isn't something that can be planned before programming starts?

regardless of who wins this time around in the US election, is anyone really looking at changes to the electoral system?
there's obviously problems there, but will US citizens wait until just before the next election to worry about it
