Your pipe isn't fat enough. I was doing an audit of GTE billing in the late 90's and was looking for some of the biggest bills. Sure enough Dreamworks had a very large bill for their pipes (something like 30 OC-3's or something). Pretty big for a non-telco related company.
Note: my memory isn't that good so if someone wants to shed some more detail I'd be interested in an update!
The chick on the homepage is kind of cute. I wonder if she knows she's being exploited by SCO to make their image more "down home, cutie". Lol, those dirty bastards.
Charlie Murphy Stories alone are worth paying for Comedy Central. The Prince story was funny but the Rick James one almost killed me!
Dave Chapelle is awesome.
My favorite shows (as grandma would say): Family Guy The Simpsons Scrubs Dave Chapelle The Daily Show (rerun the next day) Late Night w/Conan O'Brien (rerun the next day)
The author is nice too. When I couldn't figure out a problem instead of helping me, he pointed me to the pages I missed in his book (a round about way of making sure I actually bought the book no doubt, but helpful none the less).
Yes, however your culture (and thus nationality) can affect this. Do you think women and men play games the same? My wife is doing studies right now in her PhD program that study specifically the differences in gender in intelligence tests. You can generally say men are better spacially and women are better verbally.
People are different and culture plays a part. For example since everyone must "learn to eat" from scratch I bet we all prepare our food the same. Oh wait, we don't. There are thousands of examples of this in society.
True, however a business is essentially a person (TaxID and all) without a conscience. As you can see from the last several years of business indictments people do things running a business that are extremely unethical and quite often illegal. When everything is done for the contributing businesses and nothing for the people (or consumers as business likes to say), we end up fucking each other for the almighty dollar.
Empathy and conscience are two things missing from politics and businesses, it's quite sad really.
The govt needs to do a better job of regulating personal data. I guess passing tax cuts for the wealthy is more important than protecting the privacy of individuals. Businesses get what they pay for, a system of government for the Business by the Business.
That's great unless you have more specific requirements. Say for example you're allergic to onions. You want all chili recipes without onions. There are a large number of ways a fully interactive cookbook would be beneficial. Hell categories better than "BEEF RECIPE" would be nice.
They can. As the poster below pointed out it's a very large project though. The drivers are several megs from what I've seen.
In a perfect world Intel would open-source their Centrino WiFi drivers. Until then I have to run Linux in VMWare on my IBM T41 Laptop. Sometimes you have to be happy with something instead of bitching about the fact that the drivers are closed source. I'd love to have closed source drivers for my 802.11g card. Beats the hell out of nothing.
I remember using Linux in the mid 90's and trying to program my dot clocks to work properly in my newish graphics card. Linux amazes me daily in how far it has come. Yet in the real world (run by businesses) you get what they decide to give you, not what you think they should do or what you think you deserve.
Hell I'm not sure anyone outside Linus and RMS deserve to use Linux & GNU tools.
There used to be a really good one out there I used as a resource when I was trying to figure out how to move the images from my PC through the serial port to my Apple//e to write them to the Disk II. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about please link under this post (it showed a boot screen on the homepage then it redirected to their homepage).
Thanks! Hope these links help.
Oh and of course if you want to buy old stuff (as I have done) there is always eBay (They suck by the way because they used to have an Apple II section but it's gone now.)
Yes, if my side company takes off I'll be making that every month. Outsourcing my ass. As Scrooge McDuck said "Work smarter, not harder."
I waited tables, layed bricks & carpet, among several other jobs in college and decided manual labor wasn't for me. The funny thing is the more I work on intellectual ventures the more I respect just nailing some wall ties to the side of a house and mixing some mud!
I almost named my company OklaSoft after that Simpsons episode where the women of Springfield are buying stocks in their stock club said "OklaSoft, it's the fastest growing software company in Oklahoma!". Lol, I couldn't stop laughing.
Oklahoma gets a bad rap, 1/3 of the software engineers I worked with in Dallas went to OU. The funny thing is being a big OU fan I thought I'd hate working with UT people. To my surprise the A&M people are far worse (Gig'em, whoooooop), it's like a damn cult or something.
I make over 100k/year as a software developer (web-based) so what's 3 X 100K? 300K that leaves out actual physical costs.
No contract, they are both stupid. However, it is an extraordinary abuse of power to have the guy arrested on extortion for taking away the service they haven't paid for.
They don't seem to have a problem with copying. Hell I remember seeing Debbie Does Dallas when I was 9 or 10 that way (man was that gross to a 9 year old me!). I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to copy it, much less watch it. Back to the topic, the porn industry just accepts copying and as a consequence puts out a lot of shit (sounds like the RIAA and MPAA to me), knowing they'll make it up in volume.
I guess the movie, tv and music studios need to find a new/better model.
I wish I would have done it at $20, I was too scared! I'm not a gambler by nature (I hate the stress) but when something obvious presents itself I take advantage.
My favorite was in 2000 or 2001 when Network Associates had to restate earnings (this was before all the big blowups and accounting scandels). Their shares dropped from around 12.50 to 3.25 in 1 hour. I transfered 10K between accounts and spent every dime on their stock. Why you ask? Their liquid value was almost $6/share and investors just freaked out. I sold at $9 because I needed to pay off some taxes but I did pretty well (getting in at 3 7/8 and selling at 9 1/4 if I remember correctly). I guess getting that extra degree in Finance has paid off (I'm a software developer by trade).

Christ my state can't even pave roads. Not to mention slow Meth production. Rural boobs in the MATRIX is the last of my concerns.
Let's give them a nice slashdot welcome!

This book is worth every dollar I spent.

So you're saying all cultures develop the same over time and place importance on the same skills, right?
Apparently you're not a world traveler.

That's great unless you have more specific requirements. Say for example you're allergic to onions. You want all chili recipes without onions. There are a large number of ways a fully interactive cookbook would be beneficial. Hell categories better than "BEEF RECIPE" would be nice.
Or you could save a lot of money and print what you're wanting to cook. Just a thought.

Oh bullshit. You're telling me that nVidia cannot reverse engineer the binary?
It's about control, nothing more, nothing less.
It's a list of unsecure applications that the new MS XP SP2 patch will break. Kind of like running Windows 3.1 on DR-DOS, it will not work.

I agree, let's make it 2 Disk XWindows and Slackware only (since those are the distros I use).
Lol, one or two! Sir would you like embedded or full linux with your PC?
Thanks for the laugh.

I'm just waiting for common sense to hit the market (it kind of has already since it was down around $2 today).
The Server that they have to post their PDF filings to runs Linux! (The webserver for the court.)
Crappy 3.2 alcohol by volume that is. I love a state that makes you buy watered down beer.
You can also load spyware via drivers. Those are more difficult to root out.
