At least MS has a meeting and decides how to continue ~.
Not always. The reason why MS Office's tools/options dialog is so ugly is because every option there was one they couldn't agree upon.
Remember the old help dialog box? When you first fired up help for that app, you'd have to make a choice between "Minimize database size (recommended)," "Maximize search capabilities," or "Customize search capabilities." Those choices were in there, not for any user's benefit (in fact, this caused even more confusion for the vast majority of users), but because the developers couldn't decide which was best and the product manager was too much a spineless jellyfish to make a decision. They ended up punting the decision to the user. WTFIT?!
If you want to learn more, Joel has a great book about this very topic, or you can read the first seven chapters on-line.
You can't patch NT 4 after a point because MS will end-o-life it Dec 2004. After that, you won't be able to get any new patches for it. Thanks to the closed source conundrum, you can't fix it yourself' your choices are
We've also got a first in the manual: Frode Weierud and Geoff Sullivan, two well respected Enigma researchers,
have aquired a large number of original German army messages, which have never been published before. Especially for the Enigma-E, they've released some of these messages, complete with the related Enigma settings and decrypts.
Windows users are less likely to run a webserver ~.
Huh? If you install Windows Server, it has IIS and FTP server turned on by default. I believe Redmond finally got a clue with XP and disabled that "out of the box" feature. Go to your average company and http to any of the file servers. Nine times out of ten, you'll get the default IIS page.
The simple answer is a GOOD recruiter is your best and often only shot at getting hired by me.
If you are judging an applicant's ability to do the job based upon a dead piece of paper listing different work they did in another company, then you are NOT getting the best people you could get to both do the job well and at a profit.
More than likely, you are spending way too much money on your "good recruiter" to sift through paper and come up with some passable candidates.
Let me ask you this: when you (or your "good recruiter") checks references, do you ask the candidate to provide them? If the answer is yes, then you are doing yourself and your company a disservice, and you are wasting everyone's time.
The ones that find you (the REAL headhunters) are working for a company. You can't "hire" them to find you a company. The people you solicit are more accurately called "pimps," "body shops," or "resume database fillers."
You'll have a much better experience with the former than the latter.
Very true. That's why you have to be your own "headhunter" in order to get a job.
Just like the Colon-Cat Company, let them burn through their cash giving away this garbage for free, then pick 'em up by the bushel in about 18 months.
However, that means you can no longer drive the car except on said property, since the roads are a public property and covered by these things called 'laws.'
So what if you're "passing through" the state and you don't live there? You can't get busted for not having that "feature" when your own state doesn't require it.
How long before the border towns see a rise in inter-state car purchases?
"Yes, officer, I was visiting my sister in Frlorida, when I decided to buy a new car."
Your breath comes out at apporximately[sic] body
temperature ~.
Riiiiight. So that means that your car won't start if you just
drank a cold soda or hot coffee. Or you have a fever. Or the air is
humid or dry. Or it is winter and you are in Chicago when the wind
is blowing off the lake.
Rather than rely on urban legend like how sucking on pennies or
eating underwear will make your breath heat up to "body
temperature" and then you'll pass the test, you can get the actual
scientific information behind how a
breathalyser works.
On the other hand, this

this will make any NM car drivable by even the drunkest

I'm not disputing that: he does not believe in "freedom of speech," only "freedom of speech he doesn't find repulsive." Nothing wrong with that, but that's not the point of Freenet.
~ you will be unknowingly hosting illegal material.
Does that make it a crime, though? You can't see any of the information you're storing and you have no way of filtering it out.
How a court would possibly rule on one's breaking of whatever laws prohibit possession of such material would would be quite interting. A Luddite judge would send you to texas for some hangin', whereas a more technically-savvy judge might recognize that since Freenet offers legitimate uses, it cannot be illegal to run a node.
The true test of someone who claims to believe in Freedom of Speech is whether they tolerate speech which they disagree with, or even find disgusting. If this is not acceptable to you, you should not run a Freenet node. There is another thing you can do. Since content in Freenet is available as long as its popular, you can help limit the popularity of whatever information you do not like. For example, if you do not want a file to spread you should not request it and tell everyone you know not to request that specific key. However, keep in mind that freenet is not designed so as to only allow communication between people if a sufficient number of people agree with the communication. Freenet is designed to make communication possible even if there's just one publisher and one reader, and this is already reasonably feasible on the current freenet.
The difference is that only popular items becomes memes as they
are spread to other servers when requested.
Things that are not
popular eventually go away as the servers they are on smoke them
when more popular content is downloaded.
So, if your server is
storing lots of kiddie porn (and there's no way to tell without
trying to download it and seeing how fast it goes), then that
means many people are downloading it...which means that you are
probably living next to child pornographers, and probably have
some in your church, synagogue, temple, job, and home.
Hell,
you might even be one yourself and not even know it.
The Bush administration has exactly what effect on state government, again?
Oh, little things like making block grant money available to "combat terrorism" and all a state or local government has to do is prove that they have a risk of terrorist attack.
A local government can just say that protestors are terrorists, and the feds will give them a load of cash to spend on shiny new cops and stuff.
So, if one were to define Tax Cheats as cousin to Osama, then BushCo will give money to help create your very own Total Information Awareness centre to fight the "'war' on terror."
If the typical US bank note is too easily copied by technology available to the home user, then it's time for the typical US bank note to be updated.
But--but--but-- <whine>it is too hard to make better money, and the people working in the government don't have to technological skills to stay ahead of those godless "Al Kaida" hacker counterfeiters!!!! Besides, the American people will only fall for the government spending over $32 million to promote the new currency before they, uh... they, uh... </whine>
However, there's also something called plagiarism which DOES NOT have to be a "cut-n-paste," but can be a situation in which I looked at your work and implemented my version in much the same way.
So the MS TCP/IP stack was developed totally independent of established protocols? It wasn't? Doesn't that make Windows public domain????????// WTF??!!!!!1 LOL!!!!!1111
~ the patent system is there for the people too ~.
There are a class of people who have more money and power than anyone you will ever have. If those "people" file a patent that circumvents your own patent and you try to assert your rights, they will crush you like a bug. If they like an idea you patented, then they will find a legal loophole and crush you like a bug. You don't have the resources (time, money, or access to a horde of lawyers) to defend yourself.
Because those people have such vast resources, they patent as much as they can---even things that seem obvious. The average person does not stand a chance against them.
I join the other posters on this story in welcoming our EMI Overlords, who's actions both informed my ignorant self and piqued my curiosity enough to *cough* sample the album.
Maybe Amazon can add a "Publishers who banned this album also banned..." section so we can know what music is worth acquiring?
Slashdot Mirror
So millions and millions of people post content, but how much is useful, easy to read, and informative? Probably less than one percent.

That's how the Harry Potter Azkaban trailer got released to the world...
The same way Game Cube and/or Playstation are withering and dying in the face of Xbox's crushing domination of the entire gaming industry, huh? ;)
