- Ride your bike to work. - Stop eating all that pizza and burgers (even if it IS a company perk). - Get a rowing machine for home. You can exercise while watching TV. - Bring in a change of clothes and spend your lunch running.
If sites are struggling, why not take donations from people using the site? It's worked for a few sites. I usually try to donate a few buck to a site that I regularely enjoy.
Bullshit. Helping a business that gave you the finger, and told you to buzz off, as "you were no longer needed" is not kind. It's stupid. Do NOT f****ng do it!!
If you left the company on your own free will, and you're on good standing with them (both them AND you), bill them.
Do not do it for free. Nothing is free. Employees are being kicked around enough as it is these days. Do NOT let yourself be taken advantage of like this. Never Ever Ever !!
They called, mailed and IM'ed, needed help with a system I designed. I refused. There was NO WAY I was going to help then (even tho the person that asked was a nice guy, and a friend). They eventually figured it out... lol.
Games are the biggest factor, no doubt. And as cool as the WineX project is, it's NO substitute for native ports.
Also multimedia. It can be SUCH a pain to get a DVD to play properly under a free *NIX, or to get browser plugins to just work without crashing the respective browser...
Hardware detection is also much more painful than it should be (in a perfect, vendor supported, world...)
Off course, I DO have my greedy little eyes set on a Powerbook w/ OSX. Who says *NIX can't pretty... and fun.. and easy...?

I know you're paying to prove you say who you are, but what's the big deal here anyways? To me, certs are more about encryption than a form of digital ID.
The 'Certificate Authority' is just another scam to monopolize, to a certain extent, encrypted digital transfer of data. If my cert is OpenSSL with myself as the signing authority, the cert is no less or more secure than an 'official' certificate. And even if the site/program is signed by authority, that does not mean you are not being cheated in some way by the issuer.
Blablah, I call for a grass-roots movement demanding the power to self-sign code and sites etc... Who's with me??!?:p
Hmm... you ned to read the article a little more carefully. What he said was a prime concern was support for HW/SW. Like installing a new CDRW or a USB digi cam. I'm pretty sure BeOS would have even more problems supporting this kind of thing than Linux...

True evil is doing something evil while at the same time feeling bad about it, because you know it's wrong, and still go ahead and do it.

If they're getting along together and if she's a nice person, don't sue. People are way too sure-happy in this contry. Talk to her about it as adults.

Hehe, after reading your links, I realize he's right. China IS the new America...

Beats the hell outta pop-up's that's for sure...

No it's not obvious. Regular ads are fine, but pop-ups is an annoyance, and who the hell clicks on any of them except to close anyways?
And you cannot call it stealing. You choose NOT to view certain content. The main post is BS.
Pretty soon, you'll be saying NOT downloading and installing Gator and Hunterbar and the like is 'stealing' from the sites too, huh?
Not meant as a flame or anything, really.

Religion will naturally also work for me. Thank you :)
