Anyway it is not unusual to use ad orders to try to influence the editorial. What I don't understand though is how are the small sites harming Apple. With most companies flouting vaporware every so often, these small sites are just taking it a step further - someone else puts out the vaporware for the company.
The fact is that there are starving and homeless people in practically every country - even the US and UK, only that it is more so in African countries. I am not against exploration and Seti@home is a great stuff but there has to be a balance. Spending such huge sum doesn't seem to be justified.
Also, space exploration and research is different from SETI. The former might actually help us survive if a comet does target the earth.
This seems to be old news. I am sure the trend has changed after the dot-coms started collapsing. Check out the article Some college grads are shunning dot-coms. Not all (or even most) IT jobs are in dot-coms, but if you don't see instant millions then you are more likely to plan long term and finish college.
Aren't we having these debates too often. GPL freedom seems to be too restrictive. Kinda like, you are free to speak anything AS LONG AS YOU DON'T OFFEND ANYONE AT ALL.
What with France suing Yahoo, Germany putting it's own conditions, Saudi Arabia making big chunks of internet inaccessible to its citizens, Indonesia passing laws affecting internet use and then repealing them. I am sure the list goes on.
So they used technology to save space but isn't it like they leased (without cost) space on their server to store music you already own. Guess they (mp3.com) might as well have removed the restriction and stolen some thunder from Napster.
There seems to be a lot of debate on whether a software is really and whether it's license is compatible with GPL. Aren't we missing the real deal though - that the software is indeed free and not under the clutches of a corporate giant (or a corporate dwarf for that matter)
Lot of coverage that Transmeta is getting seems to be solely due to the fact that Linus is employed there. That certainly seems to be the case here at Slashdot.
Sun customers who have been affected by the problem are unwilling to speak openly about it because Sun has persuaded many of them to sign nondisclosure agreements
The nondisclosure agreements were apparently offered with a claim that signing them would bolster Sun's commitment to resolving the problem quickly
Imagine the pissed-off customer having to sign this. Hope the customers now have concrete plans to move over VA Linux or other such Linux servers.
It's been years now that people have been raising the issue of frivolous patents. Of course, they are not frivolous in terms of the negative impact they have but they are pretty obvious and tend to be in the natural progression of things.
Sometimes you wonder whether the patent department is staffed with morons.
I was surprised at the success of 'For Dummies', 'For Idiots' and the likes. I guess there aren't any dearth of people who are willing to be called Dummies.
This isn't a reflection on the books though, just the titles.

Is there any advantage in playing around with PHP? Basically, are there certain situations where PHP is clearly superior to mod_perl/perl?
