If your work is really that easy for you, why not use your spare time outside of work to start your own business and focus on things that really interest you? This way you can be intellectually challenged and make more money than you currently do (hopefully;) ) instead of less, yet still maintain your current stability and perks.
If you aren't business savy, you could alternatively spend your spare time working on some interesting open source projects.

Presumably this "player" plugs into an existing speaker system. Why not just plug your iPod/MP3 player of choice into this system and bypass the player all together?

While its clearly not foolproof, it would seem that demonstrating you have the equipment indicated in the EXIF header, provided your camera writes it, should be sufficient enough to conveince them it is unlikely you are trying to perform copyright infringement.
I agree. Also, why pick a name like "ÒDelayed Password DisclosureÓ", and use example with names like "AliceÕs"? I like the irish as much as the next guy, but come on.
Wow! Where can I get this technology that lets you burn hundreds of thousands of songs on CDs? My stupid format only supports 700MBs per disc. That must be a pretty crappy quality encoding.

Businesses Discover Skype

My company doesn't pay for personal phone calls for business trips of less than a week. My cell phone doesn't work out of the country. Foriegn hotels charge an arm and a leg per minute for calls... so Skype was perfect to call home to my wife. It sounded great all the way from Brussels, Belgium back to Ohio.
Now that I have Skype on my wifi-enabled PDA, I'm in heaven.

Man... read the question everyone before you jump all over him.
He is asking for what aspect of google "n" is bound to! Does "n" mean the number of total "topics", webpages, or something else.
Saying O(n) is useless unless you define n. Let n=number of servers. Hmm..thats good performance. Let n=number of words in the googld dictionary, also maybe good. Let n=number of words on all web pages that are indexed... thats not so good.
If you are looking for a more generic build/test runner dashboard than cruise control, take a look at DART. Its free, open source, and makes very few restrictions on those projects which wish to use it.
Yea... I guess I just expected it to work like every other Mozilla product out there, in that it wouldn't store user data in the install directory and uninstalling would not delete said data. (e.g. firefox bookmarks arent destroyed if you uninstall a version of firefox).
Man... how hard is it to write an installer? I had the last release of Sunbird installed. Installing the new one over it completely hosed it up, so I uninstalled them both, and installed the new one...all my events are now gone. How do they expect to keep users?
Has no one in this thread ever heard of peer to peer? All the examples of "I could have used this when..." could easily have been solved by simply setting your wireless cards into peer mode and making an ad hoc wireless network. This is quick and easy with every network client app I have seen; does no one use this feature or what?
Why is this device any better than just bridging your ethernet to your wireless peer network?

I never update right away, as it invariably either disables my plugins, or they break anyway. Until they stablize their plugin APIs... no thanks.

This is great and all, but I'm not gonna use it until I can launch a popup through the RSS aggregator for my penis enlargement pills.
Um.. I guess the creators have read Neil Stephenson's Diamond Age.
The review almost sold me on the fact that I could actually learn something from this book. Looking at the sample chapters here told me the truth

P != NP is not a law; it is only suspected to be true and remains an open problem, not yet proven.
I, for one, am willing to accept the opinion of the FCC Chairman (read: PHB) over a detailed technical analysis.
After watching Troy I'd be less concerned about Linux's Heel and more concerned about fending of a plethora of arrows in the chest.
