The law is that if you transfer $10,000 or more to a financial institution it needs to be reported to the feds. Criminals will need to do a lot of micro transactions to pay their bills.
How does it perform identification to verify that the person picking up the money is the person you paid. I don't really see this serving any use since there already is a cash transfer system. It's called postal money orders.
The people who make a habit of purchasing things on sale and then returning tehm for a full refund to wal mart will hate this.
To the uninitiated, there are people who find great deals on DVD's, software and similar items that are brand new. Then they return them to wal mart with their no receipt necessary policy and get the full price refunded and make a few $$$ in the process.
Not really. On MS Exchange we only allow a few people to email to the all employees distribution list. In fact you can control who can email to any distro list in the system. The question then becomes why does a company need to go through these unneeded measures just because on person insists on emailing its employees.
I love the autocomplete feature in IE that has been there for years. Maybe I'll switch back again. Now only if Netscape had a full screen feature like IE does.
You must have the T720 phone then. I have an old Startac 7868 and it works great in NYC with Verizon. My girlfriend has a T720 on Verizon and her signal is always dropping. We could be sitting side by side and my phone will get a better signal all the time.

Sun's Last Stand

· Score: 4, Interesting
It's servers are too expensive for most tasks. They might be better, but the value for your $$$ is on x86. On the OS side Windows and Linux are kicking Sun's ass. On the hardware side Intel and Dell have created an efficient business model that is increasingly moving up higher and higher in the enterprise.
Sun needs to figure out a business model that will work in the new economic reality. They will either need to be a software company or a hardware one. But like a lot of companies they will probably die off because they couldn't adapt. They were successful once because they filled a market need, but when the market changed they couldn't adapt fast enough.
That's not entirely true. MS has a ton of people working on hudreds of small projects that they came up with. They came up with a good idea and management gave them money to work on it.
It may be sexist, but it's true. I want a phone with a good battery, good signal and easy to use phone book. My fiance on the other hand goes for looks. She wanted the T68 because of the camera. She doesn't like flip phones and thinks the other ones are cute. Especially if they have pretty buttons a a good screen. She dragged me around to every store at universal studios and called the most useless junk cute. She would have bought it to if it wasn't for me. Next time you think I'm sexist, go out to a shopping mall and think for a second why 90% of the stores cater to women when they are supposed to earn less than men on average.
A lot of this stuff is marketed towards women. They know that the women see something that is cute in the store and want to have it right away. And by this I mean real women that don't read/., don't set up their own linux boxen or anything else that is geeky.
If that is your opinion then you need to look at the balance sheets of some fortune 500 companies and read some of their stories. Microsoft loses money on products and services for years before they become cash cows. GE lost money on plastics for over a decade before they turned it into a cash cow. Taking the long term view is what separates successful companies from those that will go chapter 11 in the next downturn.
With CLEC's that build out their own networks they can offer their own broadband services to compete with the bells. But you have to pay the $$$ and build your infrastructure.
One of the rules of business is that only a minority will survive over the longterm. The telecom bust is proof of that. COmpanies like the one I work for are buying the remains of our competition from chapter 11. Not everyone is going to have to build out their networks.
I'm only an exchange 2000 admin, but any capital expenditure is tax deductible. A few years ago we were trying to convince management to treat us as consultants for the cost benefits to us and the company.
The tax code is designed to foster business growth, not an excuse to socialize everything. Other companies are free to sell stock shares or bonds in order to pay for their own fiber projects just like Verizon does. Verizon owns something like $50 billion in debt to various bond holders. That's how they and a lot of other companies and governments finance capital projects like running fiber. Sell bonds, build, hope you make money on it and then pay for it over a few decades plus interest.
Isn't the goal of all companies? Defeat your competition? If verizon can't make a profit on the fiber who in their right mind will loan them the money to pay for it?
If someone wants to lay fiber then they need to figure out a business model and then sell some bonds to pay for it. That is the way capitalism works.
They spent the money to run it. I work for a CLEC and we have our own phone switches. If VZ jacks up the prices on their circuits, it will only hurt us for a little while since we flip customers to our own network. I doubt the telecom act of 1996 was meant to create an industry that relied on cheap prices by the bells and only on reselling. If you want to be a player in telecom then you need to invest in some infrastructure.
They run their internal networks on public IP's and waste a lot of them since they aren't in use. If Uncle Sam switched to NAT for internal networks then a lot of these problems would go away.
First you people complain that MS ships buggy OS's and no one knows how to update it. Now that they put in an auto-update feature for the newbie, everyone complains that it's also bad.
Create public folder for receving resumes. Create a mailbox and forward a copy to the mailbox as well. Perform Brick level backup and the emailed resumes will get backed up on a per message basis. Every month or so delete the messages from the mailbox and the public folder.
Legally you are following this since all resumes can be retrieved from off site storage.

Didn't they start censoring their video games and pulling magazines because customers complained? How is that not listening?
Most of retail theft is by employees, what is the problem of wal mart protecting their products?
I heard it's still pretty popular in the routing of traffic on the internet.
Maybe the reason you use cash is because no one in their right mind will give you a credit card or let you open a bank account?

I bought some marvel stock last year and it has almost quadrupled. I see more cash in my pocket in the next few months.
