Get Tiger. Man, it is faster. I was very pleasantly surprised (upgraded finally this weekend). It runs faster, and boots quite nicely. (I have a PowerMac 450. Yes, 450. Single proc, one heck of an old machine. And it's only got 256 MB of RAM. But it boots as fast as your Windows box does..)
That's weird, since I made a program here at work (custom report engine) that spits out Excel 2003 XML files, and I haven't seen this XML tag anytime while working with this format... Perhaps it's a Word 2003 XML thing???

Thank goodness for SQLite, then. Just add the dll (or dependancy for linux-folks) to your package and voila. This also assumes you're using some DB-abstraction layer, such as PDO, ADO, ADO.Net, etc...
Parsing is NOT necessarily easy! Depending on how much they were drinking when they invented the format, it can be ridiciously difficult. Point in fact: Excel binary format. Ugly as hell, and absolutely horrible. Now, the new office open xml formats are... alright. Not the greatest, but easily parsable and readable. Both. Really - look at the blog and the examples. Even Excel 2003 XML format isn't bad (although Word's 2003 XML format is way too complicated IMHO).
Um... who uses ActiveX, internal or not? I mean, I've *run* internal only sites, and trust me, we don't use ActiveX. We would NEVER use that, ugh. What a mess. I'd rather use Java(tm) applets before ActiveX.
My wife works at a Waldenbooks. If, on opening night, even a single box is open, and they're visually checked when people go back into the storeroom to get other things, someone WILL be fired. This is serious. A store that leaks HP&THBP will not be able to purchase ANY Scholastic book, ever again. That's part of their contract. And the company that owns the store would probably fire the employee, and possibly the manager of the store. They're taking it pretty seriously.
Not where I've worked - all in Colorado.US. Workdays are 8a-5p, with 1 hour lunches (so it's a 40 hour workweek). I'm supposed to come in at 8am, but I usually end up coming in sometime before 9.. And sometimes I take a longer lunch, but that's to make up for part of my Sundays.
I get to take off time early sometimes because I often Remote Desktop to the windows machines (and ssh to the linux ones) to do upgrades/auditing/etc. on Sundays. I don't do that every Sunday, but at least once a month, usually twice a month. So my boss is a little flexible when it comes to coming in at 9, leaving at 5:30, etc.. But without Remote Desktop, I'd have to either a) come in the office, or b) use VNC (which sucks). I have a 12-desktop/9-server setup, so I'm around the same size site as the OP.
Actually, you can't do that. The reason: Everyone who was rich enough would be tearing up the streets. That's why the cities give them (the cable companies) the monopolies: the streets are only torn up once (these days it's then they're laid down) and in return the cable companies gets to have a monopoly.
Personally, I think that the government should buy up the cable AND phone line networks, and let any company capable have service on it, but that's my "let everyone be equal" stance.
Indeed, mod parent up! Even with an official letter from the CEO on letterhead, it won't protect you in most places/situtations. YOUR EMPLOYER CANNOT FIRE YOU FOR NOT DOING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME, *YOU* COMMITTED A CRIME. If they try to force you, talk to a lawyer. Most have a free or very low cost initial consultation - it helps them to ferret out the idiots who are just suing 'cause they're stupid from the people who actually have a case. And if you employer penalizes you for not doing an illegal activity, in most places that is illegal as well (although not all).

Some of us have huge websites that we'd love to migrate off of popups, but the manager's "if it works don't fix it" credo means that we have to just tell our clueful 10% of users to disable their popup blocker. And the 50% that have loaded some IM program that secretly blocks popups (ie. it doesn't tell the user WHEN IT BLOCKS that it's blocking, even if it does tell them when the install it) get told that they've shot themselves in the foot and we don't support Yahoo!, MSN or whatever popup blocker they installed and now they don't know how to tell it our site is safe. ARGH!!!
Yes, and the GPL *removes* my ability to use that software in a corporate environment. I literally CANNOT work on a GPL project and be a programmer-for-hire. It's the same problem that Microsoft has with their programmers and open-source: they might contaminate corporate IP. The GPL is VIRAL. It's intended that way. Of course, so is Microsoft's license. I won't look at code from either one (unless it's MY code).
The BSD license means that as a corporate programmer, if I know that there's a function out there that does what I need, I can use it. The BSD license means that ANYONE can do just about ANYTHING with the code (I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advise). GPL means that I must avert my eyes and not fix bugs that I find because I can't look at the stupid code! Boy, that irks me.
Well, except that blogs are easier to maintain and update than a webpage. Most users can't be bothered to learn HTML, but using LiveJournal and friends makes it easy to make a "webpage" that is conveniently used to report happenings in your life. And while most may not care about my wife's new dress, some of our friends will, and this is one way that they can stay informed even when they live on other continents from us.
Except that a) not all Rabbis will recognize that ruling (in Judaism, there is no pope or other central organizing figure - there are organizations, heirarchies, but in the end none of them is TRULY authoritative, although I've been hearing about a sanhedrin, and if that was established, then it would be pretty authoritative), and b) not all Jews will recognize what those Rabbis rule. In Judaism, you're SUPPOSED to question authority, and not just swallow it down. It'll be awhile (give it a few hundred years) for it to be either globally accepted or rejected. Halachah changes SLOWLY..
No, although of course no work on Shabbat (fri sundown to sat sundown), and many of the holidays, however, it takes a few years to really get down the art (not that I've done that, but I did look into becoming a Sofer at one point), and mistakes are bad (at the very least, they take time to scratch/shave off, and if you make a mistake in G-d's name, then that whole page is wasted and has to be specially buried). I mean, it takes a year, and you'd get bored real quick, and make mistakes. And I don't think it's forbidden to work on more than one - I've known a Sofer who worked on a Torah for a while, then to break the monotony did some ketubot (marriage contracts) and mezuzot (the parchments that go into those little cylinder-like things on the doorways).
Except that the skin is from multiple animals. (not multiple KINDS, but more than one animal). Have you ever seen a torah scroll? They're HUGE (and I don't think I'll volunteer to be the holder - it's always the brawny guy who has to do that at my shul).
Although, your idea has merit - just collect samples from pages X, Y, and Z, and make that into a database..
Novell is doing just that. I was on an online chat, and they are finishing up testing their Novell Client for Linux. Although sadly, it doesn't initially support reconfiguring the PAM stack, it replaces XDM/KDM with it's own DM. You still have to modify the PAM/nsswitch stuff. But very cool, can't wait to try it out here.
Actually, their XML in Office 2003 really isn't that bloated. I dunno about their HTML, but because writing out Excel binary spreadsheets is not possible without an Excel program on the machine, my programs here at work write out Excel XML spreadsheets. We open them up, save As to Excel binary, and post on the website for our clients. That way, my program can write out XML and they get what they want. You should take a look at the XML - it's not that bad..
*ALOT* of sites are still using classic ASP. And ASP.Net is completely different. And, if you like it's model, it's framework, then great. If you want to do things a little differently, though, it gets complicated and ugly. Also, remote debugging of ASP.Net never worked reliably for me (VS 2002, though). I'd love to marry the two - PHP for the presentation layer, and.Net DLLs for the backend stuff..
Not really. Juries can NULLIFY laws for a particular situation, which is all that jury nullification is. It allows a jury to say, "Even though the law says X, we agree that in this case it shouldn't apply". From there it can go up in the judicial system. But juries can't take something that isn't law and make it so.
Well, except that in my network here at work (~25 machines), I want IPv6. Why? Because we run about 8 servers (some of those internal only, true, but we want to expose them to employees from home, and an extranet), 14 desktops, and a few laptops. Plus VPN users. And I get to do all of this on 5 public IPs. I have to use NAT. Don't even talk to me about FTP - even with the right module, some sites won't talk to us still. But with IPv6, I can drop the NAT, just go back to the firewall being a firewall. Everyone's machine will get an address, and I can expose the servers without having to use lots of rules for port forwarding. Not to mention the security stuff, that should help remove the need for a VPN (assuming that at some point there's an extension to iptables to allow me to drop if the security bit isn't set...)
>> 1) Social Security isn't "welfare." We pay into the system, we get benefits out of the system. Social Security recipients are not getting "something for nothing," so to lump them in with welfare recipients is just plain Ignorant(tm) and Stupid(tm).
Ah, yes, I'll get benefits. I'm 28. By the time *I* get to retire, the retirement age will be 75 or so. And SS will be bankrupt. It's a pyramid scheme - it was from the beginning. Those are illegal, but I don't see anyone suing the government for pawning it off on people (and forced, too!). I will never see this money come back to me. I know, old people always thought they'd get the money. Welcome to the real world, things don't always go like you planned. Get your grubby old hands off my money!
