Is this wireless built into a CPU? "Centrino" brand motherboards, what? I want to know. I don't want any of that wireless shit in my boxes. I don't need it, and I don't want to have to deal with securing it. I *would* consider AMD chips, but from my experience, W2K and AMD chips just don't get along. Looks like I'm gonna keep trolling the bargain bins for reliable P2's.
Sure it's possible. There ARE always new customers that aren't "locked into contracts". Hell, I made the decision for my new biz just last summer. It's just easier to whine and say, "we can't compete" then to actually try to compete.
Exactly, and disallowing the opposing side to speak is a very good way at showing elitism.
Actually, from the outside, it looks like the OSS organizers are terrified that MS will have something to say that proces them wrong. If they're so confident about their software, what could MS hurt? Let both systems stand on their own merit, and let people decide for themselves... Oh wait, I forgot... OSS advocates preach that, but what they really mean is: "Use whatever software you want, so long as it's our software".
the total cost to the recipiants is hugely larger than the total cost to the sender.
You obviously haven't been pricing spam server lately, have you? Spam friendly server with big pipes are insanely expensive. If course, there's still money to be made, but to say that the cost is "low" isn't really accurate.
I got a nice RAID for one of my boxes for $200. It's 100% hardware. The OS doesn't even know it's there. Hot swappable cheap-o IDE drives. It's great. I would *never* deal with the headache of a software RAID solution. That's like buying a buggy, slow software modem to save $10. There's no point.
I worked for Mastek... briefly. All Indian company. I was flying all over the place for them, but they took weeks and weeks to reimburse me for my travel expenses. Also, instead of mailing me plane tickets, I had to drive to their office to pick 'em up every week. What a headache. Very very poor employee service. Thank god I'm out of the industry now!
Yup. Everybody would be locked into a very expensive proprietary software AND hardware format. Personally, I'm pretty happy about being able to use any old computer that I can pick up for $50 and slap W2K on it.
If you're getting that little, you're already a schmuck for agreeing to work for so little. I wouldn't be surprised that people who agree to code for less than $41 hour are the same ones who don't complain when they're not getting overtime. $41/hour or less to write code? That's pretty sad.
I'm not writing articles intended to convince anybody of anything. I'm just posting to some message board on the web. Big difference. I think that an article titled "Brittney Rulez!!!" would be about as convincing as this one.
I was very impressed by the 12 year old who wrote that detailed analysis. His educated reference to Star Trek really helped me to understand the situation, and make an informed decision. After all, anything written by a group called "The Cyberknights" has GOT to the authoritative!
The point is not to DOS them. That's bad. Look, this is how it works... Most spammers are spamming a program where they get paid a percentage of whatever sales are of a dick enlarging cream, a credit card, etc. Some spam a website that pays per click. Either way, the sites doing the paying are always being cheated, so they're on the lookout for cheaters. By doing this, it looks like they're using a "hitbot". If affiliate X is suddenly getting 1000 hits a second from the same IP address, the affiliate assumes cheating, the spammer is banned from the program and not paid. Happens all the time. If you'd like to be sure you're hurting the spammer, add a "&MSG=This_is_a_spammer" to the end of the URL. It's not illegal in any way, and the spammer gets hurt where it counts... the pocketbook.
One place that I *always* see Sun boxes are Oracle instances. All of the big (3+ terabyte of data) instances I've seen are always running on Sun. I'm guessing that Oracle's version of their products on Sun are the most stable & most efficient. Hell, if things got bad enough, Sun could team up with Oracle and make dedicated boxes. I think that they'd do very well.
Just make a local page on your box, load, and forget for a few days. Email might not cost 'em much, but I'm betting they pay for bandwidth for their web sites. And if the site itself isn't spamming, but somebody promoting it is, you can bet that the actual spammer is gonna hear from the web site operator pretty fast so long as you include the entire url.
It's not your decision, fuckwad, to determine what a fulfilling life for me is. I decide that. I have decided that a fulfilling life is to own at least one Ferrari. Either tell me what society gives each of its members a Ferrari, or get the hell out of my way, because I'm busy earning one. That's my philosophy.
You can only believe that socialism breeds weakness if you believe that compassion is weakness. A compassionate society is one that cares about ALL its members, not just the rich ones. When you eliminate money completely, then all class distinctions will be eliminated (by definition), and thus all will be treated equally. That is one definition of a compassionate society. It's hard for me to understand how you would see that as weak.
I don't want to be treated equally. I think that equal sucks. I work harder than most people, so I want a lifestyle that is better than "equal". That's where your pretty little philosophy goes down the shitter. The world is not a fucking Christmastime Coca-Cola ad, kid.
Jesus, it's called the Federal Reserve. Go read a book.

So in other countries, banks don't charge anything for issuing debit cards, maintain the databases, routing the funds, etc.? I find this a bit hard to believe.
Also all of a sudden all of these banks and other get a peice of your money for the 'convience' of not using cash
Uh, ever heard of a "credit card"?? This has been true for many, many, many years. Even if a consumer pays off a credit card balance monthly, they're still paying for that convenience every time they buy something. Us retailers have what it costs us to accept credit cards built into the prices of our products.
In case you haven't noticed, the terrorists are generally from those fucked up third world countries, and they attack the modern world because of jealousy and ignorance. Who the hell would want to attack Cuba? There's nothing left to attack! What about North Korea. What are they gonna get, a few bundles of sticks? And China? Shit, you chew gum the wrong way in China and the gov't locks you up forever and throws away they key. Oh yeah, all really good terrorist targets.
And if you lie your life by how much you're liked by other people, then you have a pretty fucked up self-image. Get some psychological help.
Oh shit, that was just too funny. Hey, do you write for the Onion, by any chance? I think I saw something similar in the Onion a while back. Again, wiping the tears from my eyes on that one. Keep 'em coming!
I wish I had mod points (what happened to that system, anyway... they only give mod opints to people they like now?). I'd give this one a +5 Funny! I almost wet myself when I read this I was laughing so hard.
But I'd have to imagine that people like you make up well less than 1% of the US population. Most people have cars (this IS the 21st century), or are you 13 years old?

So then your goal is to take away everybody's freedom? Nice. I prefer freedom and inequality to slavery and equality. Definately.

A book, huh? Who would've guessed? All of these years, I just thought "Rendezvous with Rama" was a really good early adventure game.
