  1. Re:Set the Wayback Machine to 1999 on Google Rewards Employees With Millions · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the point they were making. The risk is the downside.

    At a startup that's when your paper millions turns out to be worthless, you're realise you're never going to see the last six months of salary that the company couldn't afford to pay you "at the moment", and you're in debt to your eyeballs.

    At Google, the downside is you don't get your millions, but you keep your cool job at Google and continue to collect your pretty decent Google paycheque.

    Having done the startup thing too many times, at this point, I'd prefer Google.

  2. Re:Doesn't change the fundamental fact... on Media Got It Wrong: Young Generation Did Vote · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But a greater percentage of young people DID vote. Not just a greater number.

    On election day this was obscured by the fact that a greater percentage of all people voted, leaving the relative percentage of young people the same as last time.

    Still, with all the effort to get out the youth vote, its dissapointing their numbers didn't rise by more than the other demographics.

  3. Re:Makes no difference on Greens and Libertarians Team Up to Demand Recount · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Areas with E-Voting count all the votes.

    Areas that still vote with the old machines lose something around two percent of the votes to the machine not understanding "hanging chads" and other problems. A manual recount generally counts many of the machine rejected votes.

    So, assuming the e-voting districts were bush districts, and the machine voting districts are Kerry districts, Kerry has more to gain from a recount.

  4. Old News on Nader off Florida Ballot · · Score: 1

    This happened last week. Since then Florida's AG has launched an appeal which automatically gets Narer back on the ballot for the mailins due to be sent out by Saturday.

  5. Re:Canada-Runs! on Canada Immune From RIAA? · · Score: 1

    A lot less than before Saddam became a bad guy to the rest of the world.

  6. Re:Gotta love marketing jargon on ATI Wins Bid For Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    I think that's why he thought it would be a good time to buy...

    Unless you're day trading, after bad news is often the BEST time to buy a companies stock.

  7. Re:Hunting on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    How does this help dependancy hell?

    Do you have a version of configure that downloads and configures anything it finds missing?

    Where can I get it?

  8. Re:Reliability on Suggestions for Home PBX/Key System? · · Score: 1

    I have a PBX sytem at home I inherrited from a failed company. Dialogic hardware, running televantage software.

    I can't speak for other PBX systems, but my dialogic patch panel forwards the first two trunks straight to specific systems in case of system crashes.
