That virus has generated an insane amount of traffic to my mail server, most of it is very ineffective due to the use of a few standard names. Where on a normal day I would get about 100 mails, where 90 of them were rejected spam, I got over 900 mail attempts today.
I like Linux myself and I do use it alot. But to me it stil misses one thing.
When you install a Novell server or a Microsoft server these days, you get Directory Services with them both. You have the possibility of integrated groupware products that works together with the the Directory Services just like file serving, print services, internet access and alot more, all controlled from one system. Specially Novell have made a great system for centralized management of decentralized serveres, and I as far as I can see, MS have begun to understand that concept too now. But with Linux, you have to build all of this yourself, There's a lot more work that needs to be done before it can replace MS servers. You don't just grab a distro, install it from the CD and then you have the same functionality.
I would like to see it however, but I have yet to see anyone focus at replacing MS servers on the LAN for internal services, and unless you are a big company, people would rather buy a solution that has all those features instead of you developing it yourself.
I'd say they get what they are asking for. When you it on a job site or paper 85% of the text is about profiling the company and 25%(if you are lucky) are about the job. When you call them on a job you really find interesting, the people to contact are almost impossible to reach and most of the time they are unwilling to talk to you.
And it bugs me, because when I do find a job that looks interesting, I want to write something that they can use.
I have been reading af fair deal of job applications so I know when you have to read through 200 mails, you have to catch people's interest in the two first lines. Don't start with your life story, start with something that tells the reader that you can offer what they need and you are relevant for the job and they will read on. But it is hard to write something they can use when all you got are their marketing speech and you might focus on the wrong things in your application.
If they patent the method of storing wordprocessing documents in XML, then it really does not matter? They might as well go back to store it in a old completely close standard.
They always claim that what they do, are in the users best interest but instead of helping their users and doing the computing world some good, by using some open standard, they not only make sure that it might as well have been a completly obscure format and cripple the usage of a open standard as well. If anyone had any doubt, then that should be a proof that their interest is only to make money, and Bill's words about all the research and development they do, to evolve computers is not to help the people, only to make money. It's not that I think there's is anything wrong with making money, but a company with a monopoly have a obligation not to create barriers that not denies others to create products.
I don't know, but it at utmost importance to make Mars bottled water the next hot thing. It's the ultimate nail in the coffin of French water export. And not a moment too soon, I might add.:D
RFID has also been reviewed as tagging luggage on airports. It might be in use somewhere today, but the one I know about, they discarded it because of the cost, not just to the airport in question but because all connecting airports had to have this system as well in order to get the most from it.
However, test done parallel to(/on top) the existing system locally showed that it could speed up the processing because the tag was read everytime the barcode scanners failed to locate the paper strip, and the need for manuel handeling would have been deduced to items that had lost their tag underway.
Nope, we are outsourcing like crazy here. The companies are happily firing left and right and then can't understand why sales are going down and the people that still have money/jobs sits on them instead of carefree spending.

Was just looking at a news stand outside my office selling tabloid "newspapers" when I surfed to slashdot. At that time the title had a different meaning to me.:D
True, I seem to recall the same sceneario from both, I think they are getting money too. Only they thought that they had found oil, but further research showed that there might not be any after all so the talk seemed to calm down.
Uhm yes, that should be safe,,, yep! No chance of virus or worms here. I guess it will be installed by the same people who wonders if dropping a lighter into your cars gas tank could cause any problems.
I wondered because I didn't figure that any American can locate Denmark on a map or even knows about the participation in Iraq, implementing the bush doctrine for a better world(tm).
And the prime minister of Denmark are a jerk who likes to kiss Americas ass. I still wonder why he didn't take the advice from Bush and let Turkey join the EU.
I only feel sorry for the soldiers that have to spend years and years cleaning up the mess.
I agree, I am sick and tired of sending Greenland money every. They want to be free, but they also still want to recieve the money.
So they are pretty fast to shut up about wanting to be free when they get told that it means no more money.
not to bitch about ogg. People here don't like when you have a problem with their obscure formats. Screw usability or standards lets use some odd format unless it is Flash of course. People here don't visit the real world too often.

No no no,
Mandrake refuses to install itself in Iraq.

All I am waiting for are these guys to find "machinery" there too. :D
Who knows what the pixelated'n'smoothed zooms will bring.
Yet another reason to do it. Maybe we could convince him to follow them.
You are so right, personally because IAHPDA specially the ones here on /.
IAHPDA=I Am Having Problems Decoding Acronyms
So the rest of the world[1] can now interchange "America" and "Mexico", can we?
Well, it IS basically the same thing, is it not?

These love detection glasses are broken, I have never seen anything. I think I will stick to ye olde love tester
I still say Team Fortress 2.
Remember how cool it looked when the first videos surfaced.. it even won "TF (TM) 2 Wins E3.Net Awards " in 1999.
Bah! I think that you will find that terrorists did it!

At least that's what you say.

I don't so I will end it here!.. here goes!
You sir, are worse than Hitler!
Second: FREE GREENLAND!
I agree, I am sick and tired of sending Greenland money every. They want to be free, but they also still want to recieve the money.
So they are pretty fast to shut up about wanting to be free when they get told that it means no more money.

Hiding messages within messages are used often in many contexts, like the radio broadcasts in WW2 sending "birthday greetings" among other things
