Considering there is a hardware discount for developers, many of that number aren't necessarily active coders, but simply signed up as developers for the discount.
Good luck getting a majority control for that. A hostile takeover would 1) Spike the stock price inceasing the cost several fold and 2) Draw the ire of renewed anti-trust concerns.
More interesting is the possible poison pill of Sun fixing.net and Sun selling windows on their opteron boxes.
I am going into a computer engineering major at UMBC. I was approached by recruiters, and they wanted me to do ROTC. I didn't want to, because if I was going to a good college, I wasn't going to negate the benefits by being stuck in the military for 5 years afterwards.
North Korea may have operational nuclear weapons, but just in the conventional realm, North Korean artillerty is massed in range of several large South Korean population centers. The loss of innocent life would be enormous.
Isn't it more likely that they would simply bill you for the cancellation fee, then send your account to a collections agency when you don't pay? How can you force them into suing you in small claims?
Now THAT'S how damage control should work. The company took full responsibility and is offering a generous compensation.
Well kinda sorta. It is easy to accept accountability when they can pass the cost of it on to their vendor. Were it their fault and they could not recoup, I highly doubt they'd be as accomodating.
I'm going to guess that you've never been on welfare. Maybe you can't empathize with what it is like to be seven years old and living out of a car with your mom and your sisters because your dad took off and mom couldn't cover the rent. Or maybe the years after that on government cheese and food stamps because mom's waitress job could barely keep a roof over our head.
Welfare is a *SAFETY NET* for *REAL PEOPLE* It's not the stereotype of cadillac driving welfare queens or the projects that has been forced in to your skull. If you think the tax burden of social programs is too great, imagine the nation without them. Imagine soup kitchens and Hooverville shantytowns.
Non-producing food tubes my ass. Eat shit and die. Please. Now.
Most blue mountain coffee has just enough jamaican coffee that they can get away with labelling it blue mountain. It's the same way with 'Kona' coffee.
Do you know where to get the genuine article? Outside of a roundtrip ticket to jamaica?

Thanks genius. If you read the parent, he referred to rural folks paying for urbanites when in fact it happens the other way around. Please give me your phone number so I can have immediate access to your incredible insights. In any case, the original post was a friggin joke. Sheesh.

I know this is a funny, but in all seriousness the trend is for the more populous states to subsidize the more rural states. Rural states generally get more money back in federal spending than they submit in taxes. Representation is unbalanced too considering the 2 senators per state. Alaska for instance has a senator for every 300,000 or so people. California on the other hand has a senator for 17 million people.
That and they don't expose shit besides a file name
I dunno, I discovered a bunch of new bands via napster and file sharing simply by looking for a band i liked, then looking through the shared lists of people who had that first band i liked.
Unless you're a VC, this is somewhat misleading. If you purchase 100 shares of stock A, the company receives approximately 0% of this money unless they're issuing new stock. Your money has gone to the previous investor who bought it from the previous investor and so on since the issuing of the stock.
First, there is no such thing as an illegal war. Frankly, there's hardly such a thing as a civilized war. Who has the athority to say "war is legal" and "war is illegal"?
Well if you consider the UN charter a treaty that the US has agreed to, then you look at that charter, especially where it says "The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members" and "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations."
Then you can easily draw a conclusion that the new policy of premption is in contradiction with existing US treaty obligations.
We are simply pursuing policy that is in our interest. What you seem to fail to grasp is that policies in the interest of other nations are often contrary to what is best for your own nation.
This can be true, but international relations is not a zero-sum game. What goes around comes around.
You can go even further back if you want to talk about the history of smuggling in the USA. Some of the signers of the declaration of independence were smugglers.

Even better, combine the two. Use a simulator to practice the actual surgery.

I don't see a list of which 33 states we're talking about. Does that list exist somewhere?
It was actually Bush I that removed tactical nukes from the navy ships.
And there are no nuclear weapons aboard any navy ships aside from the ballistic missile submarines
Since the early nineties anyway.

It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

In another interesting mea culpa, Halliburton admitted its employees took kickbacks from Kuwaitis in exchange for contracts. I wonder if they'll get a slap on the wrist...

Congratulations bro. Got a name yet?
This is offtopic, but OSDN Personals? WTF? Are the three girls here really on the lookout for the hunky men of /. ?
Werent a whole bunch of sounds and the secret project movies taken from the movie Baraka?
Hopefully just after we forget about another movie about a Ranger raised by elves with a love triangle.
