I've never actually tried talking to a bikini.
But once, I tried talking to a woman wearing a bikini. I got slapped.
Maybe I should try talking to the bikini.
Right or wrong, I use the free WiFi at coffee shops as a remote office when travelling.
I don't generally go for the enterainment devices, but have been known to sprawl paperwork across the table.
My favorites are Panera Bakeries. Not only can I get coffee, but food too. If I have any meetings that I can control, i.e. I don't have to go to a client's office, I schedule them at these coffee shops and take all my meals there.
That said, I'm never there on weekends and if I noticed that the entire facility was full - I'd go somewhere less crowded (chances are there'd be too much noise to get any work done anyway). However, any of the places I've been to have never even approached reaching maximum capacity while I was there.
Most of the purhcases I make on Ebay are for new items.
Most of the high volume sellers on Ebay are selling new items. I'm willing to bet that a large portion of Ebay's volume is new items. It really is just another retail outlet - just like catalogs and other mail order stores.
Although, they may do things differently in Austrialia. Everything is upside down afterall.
One of my clients is a pharmacist and has an MBA. He does consulting for the pharmacutical industry and makes a lot of money.
I would suggest that you get an MBA and do consulting for medical related companies. You can combine this with IT by helping companies use technolgoy to solve business problems that you, as an MD, can relate to
Since your are considering a career change, it is probably safe to assume that doctoring isn't doing it for you anymore. By combining what you already know with what you are interested in, you can position yourself to make a lot of money.
- a joke in any industry (e.g., software) where production is a mere disk copy away (i.e., there is no manufacturing impediment in software, so even the original concept of patent protection is absurd)
The pharmacutical industry is a lot like the software industry. There is an extremely low cost of production and an extremely high cost of development. Especially in the pharmacutical industry where companies must go through expensive clinical trials and the FDA approval process.
Patents are responsible for developments in this industry because they allow companies to recover the hundredes of millions spent on research.
Drug company profits allow them to reinvest in more research that might one day lead to a cure for cancer. And yes, who ever finds a cure for cancer (or AIDS) is going to make a lot of money.
Corporate profits are not evil. They are what has driven nearly every single societal development we know.
I only use my cell phone because I always have the same phone number. Even if I move every six months, my number can stay the same. I don't even have a land line now.
I don't have a problem with my phone interferring with life. If I don't want to talk to someone, I don't answer it. Actually, I usually don't want to talk to people, so unless I'm expecting a call, I usually don't answer it.
I think the article is partly right about leaving your phone off being taboo. I find that people get upset when my phone is off. The seem to think something is wrong and that I won't get their message. This is why if I really don't want to be bothered, I turn the ringer off.
At first I thought that people are stupid for thinking that I'll get the message quicker if my phone is on than when it is off even though I sometimes go as long as week without checking my voicemail (those who really need to reach me send email). But then I remembered that when my ringer is off, I still get to see missed calls and I will call friends back without checking for their message.
Better yet, put the spammers in the stocks, those medevial torture device where one's hands and head are restrained between two pieces of wood so they can't move.
Then, put the caputred spammer in the middle of -- insert favorite geek trade show here -- and let the average slashdotter have his way with him, in any way deemed appropriate.

Thanks for making me feel old.
All those comments about long-haired guys running out to buy this. I'll be damned if I have any hair.

Does this mean that he'll be wearing armour to his next Comdex keynote?

If television news is your primary source of "news", then you simply don't have a clue.
If slashdot is my primary source of news, do I have a clue?
My name is Chad. It took a year and half for people to stop making "chad" jokes when they heard my name.
Question: "Are you a pregnant Chad or a hanging Chad?"
Answer: "I am a well hung Chad."
Did he say nuclear.
I know most /.ers are desperate for sex, but this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey! Not a bad idea, if it actually gets to the spammer. But if it does, you can expedite the process by sending large attachments.
Why not change it to:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(1) {
open(MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -i -t");
print MAIL "Dear esteemed congress creature\n";
print MAIL "Here is how I feel about DRM\n";
while(x = 100) {
print MAIL "NO!\n";
}
close MAIL;
