Sean is on point. The goal of any business is to make money. The market data shows thei VOIP stuff to explode. All businesses should be exploiting every opertunity to grow, espically the small/new ones like Google.
NEW PSU IDS IN EFFECT; SSN CONVERSION EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
After nearly two years of extensive preparation and coordination, Penn State successfully completed its conversion of all centralized systems and many departmental systems to the new Penn State identification (PSU ID) during the winter break. The conversion of central Administrative Information Systems such as IBIS, ISIS, the Data Warehouse and eLion began on Dec. 19 and finished earlier than expected, with these systems being brought back online by midday Dec. 22. The new PSU ID numbers assigned to students, faculty and staff now are in effect and are being used in place of the Social Security number (SSN) as the University's primary identifier. This number will be used in all internal processes that do not require SSNs for reporting and taxation purposes. SSNs still are being collected, but their use is strictly limited by new University policy. New steps have been added to many business processes for the assignment and use of PSU IDs. Penn State staff can find important information describing these new processes at http://ais.its.psu.edu/ssn/staff_spec.html on the Web. With the conversion of card-reading systems completed, including those operated by Housing and Food Services, the Library and Police Services, the new Penn State id+ cards are in use University-wide.

femto seems to be the genius among us mere mortals. yes this is exactly IBM's thought. US is a service economy and that service may be the service of products (low margin for profit) or the service (legal) of humans (high margin for profit). This is smart long term business sense. These people are smart, they have doen the analysis and can see where their bread is buttered.
If you are tied to outlook email for your job GDS is the best thing EVER in search. I would send Google $1000 for this tool. I can search through my 3GB of email's in seconds instead of hours. I have probably already saved 3 or 4 hours of work thanks to this tool.
what a whiny bitch! I hope her husband's job is offshored. then she'll never complain about 80 hr weeks. This is a free country...you and your SO don't like the company and the job, quit dumbass but I don't give two shits how bad big bad EA is. I hope he didn't screw up any code in my Madden this year.
and the yankee's lost while up 3-0 in a 7 game championchip series. never in the history of basebal has a team come back down 3-0, but the Sox did. Those are just facts from histories and not predictors.
Finally someone with sense. the GOAL of a business (all) is to make money $$$$
All the more power to wal-mart, the RIAA and businesses everywhere. I just hope the powers that run governemnt remember that free and open competition is the best economic policy.
"Do you know why the working class is poorer today than they used to be? Because they earn less money. Where do you think the jobs they used to have went? These people don't realize that by buying the cheaper products at Walmart they are quite literally subsidizing the loss of their own jobs."
If they want to make more money then they have the choice to go get a better job. I don't give a shit if someone choses to work at walmart for low wages. The poor get poorer b/c they CHOOSE not to become educated and they CHOOSE not to get better jobs.
Magarity is super correct on this. Say what you want about their stores, copr size, etc. I go there when I need something and I wish to keep more of my hard earned money in my pocket. Where the goal of a business is to grow and make money, walmart does it right. satisfy the needs of shareholders and the low cost expectations of its customers.
There are some of us out there (me, for one) that doesn't care if Google wants to use my search text and browsing to target advertisements to me! In fact I come to froogle just for them to advertise products at good prices. As long as they are honest, up-front and non intrusive (pop-ups) I look forward to be marketed too! I use Moz especially for the google search bar...I will really like to use a google enhanced browser.
after becoming the spyware remover master, i have switched to moz for good. IE only when needed for compatibility, which is luckily very few times. only thing i need it for is outlook web access on exchange 5.5 server. sigh.
I was just robbed from my car. Insurance to replace stolen property is the best defense. Thiefs cannot steal what really matters, love for myself and family and all the sentimental bullshit in life.
i was tired at work. take it easy on me. a better argument is cost. even though spammers attraction to email is the relatively non-existant cost to send to millions, adding cost to the process will prevent solutions from being accepted by the "masses" of legitimate users such as the un-open sender id. I believe that major adoptions in technology happen because of that "killer-app". I don't think just stopping spam is killer, enough. (i apologize to the person getting 100, 200, 300 pieces of spam as I get maybe 10 across 3 email addresses).
Your logic doesn't flow. If that were the case then everyone would have stopped using sendmail and switched to exchange so everyone can send meeting appointments and tasks in addition to email. no, apache is on the right track. open standards (truely open) and protocols will win over closed source solutions. the reason is simple...the desires of the many will trump those of the few or only. so the majority will move on to the open technologies.
Why bother? NSA,CIA,FBI measure computer power in acres. yes the acres of space their comptuers take. they can probably decrypt in realtime. they can listen to my calls all they want...even when the hot chick on the other end is moaning real hard.:-)

Great post. I would have just jumped on a band wagon to blame the ISPs. Thank you for the enlightenment.
ROTFLMAO!!!
No one is going to die b/c "global warming" as a product of human actions is bullshit. When will the damn treehuggers stop the FUD.

I agree. I send ALL my other mail, pop and othewise to gmail. it's interface3 rocks.

Because they chose to aim it at the apps the other 90% of us use.

it just crashed into earth. chute didn't open. that sux.
yeah, i think on the surface that is the problem. seems free as in beer but we'd pay the price eventually
