  1. What? The inter-office memo wasn't disseminated? on Google Drops Cloud Lawsuit Against US Government · · Score: 1

    Looks like their open-door policy with the DOJ just got them in trouble. Don't be evil--be brutal.

  2. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAN, POSTGRESQL on Why You Shouldn't Panic About Closed Source MySQL Extensions · · Score: 2

    After the release of Postgresql 9.x. MySQL has no place, period. MySQL can't even get UTF-8 right. Bug laden transaction support. TS engine? CRAP. Trash OO wannabe. If you do not need the features, then use mongo or couch. I don't know why anyone would use it knowing Postgresql exists.

    mysql = java = sun = oracle = trash

  3. Re:Time for a backup? on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 1

    No. No need to back it up. Google already has a backup. It is called the Dept. Of Justice (DOJ) . They are actually in the same building, but they just want to make sure the "terrorists" haven't made any "illegal searches" before you can have it back.

  4. SCO Sues... on Mars Rovers' Software Upgraded · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    SCO sues for copyright infringement--new at 11.

  5. Good To Know... on SCO Stock Continues Downward Spiral · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well well, it's good to know that their stock is finally neck-in-neck for value as my SCO admin certifications have been since I obtained them.

  6. Lost email? Who cares... on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 1

    What does the terms of service say? My guess is that they do not guarantee email storage and/or delivery.

    For the 300 ISPs we do email for, we only guarantee the configuration--not the email messages themselves. Frankly, I am shocked they worked THAT hard to recover any of it. Personally, it should not be so much to ask, since these days the amount of resources we spend just trying to defend our system resources due to spam and virii.

    They have gone over and above what most would do by even announcing that they were trying to recover the lost mail.

  7. Cannibal corpse on Google Explains ISP Rumors · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Google continues to encroach on the services that their advertisers are supplying. They will need to get a strategy that will support a long-term downward spiral of those advertising dollars from this cannibalism, and are recognizing that recurring revenue is the way to go. It is pretty clear that they will turn to service to accomplish this, but there will certainly be a revolt in the process, and they WILL suffer deeply. The ancillary services are clear indicators that they are concerned about "stickiness"--well warranted concern.

    It is just a matter of time before two kids with a Packard bell in a garage set there sights on the 10,000 pound gorilla and do more damage than Google could have ever thought they could.

  8. Surprised they don't see what they are doing... on Google Acquires 5% of AOL · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is just a matter of time before the advertisers that use Google say "enough." They are having channel conflict now at every move they make. This infusion puts them in serious jeopardy of losing major advertising dollars by directly and indirectly competing with their sponsors. They are no longer agnostic to service providers with this move: 1) ISP 2) VoIP 3) Cable TV 4) Communications Carrier Networks

    I would be willing to wager that this has serious implications to their bottom line.

    The air in here is getting pretty brown, and with that, we will see a new google come in and take some market share. There was a reason we all started using google after the likes of infoseek and other good search engines back in the day went south due to poor management vision, index spamming and advertising revenue crater. They are not learning from the mistakes of their predecessors. My recommendation to Larry and Sergey: Sell some stock now.

    Cycle of Insanity

    Ok, first of all lets get some things straight. There seems to be a lot of misconception here, just as they (federal govt.) have it planned. Wake up people! Let me give you some reading to entertain that grey matter.

    Did you know that the federal governments largest industry in the U.S. is the B.O.P. (Bureau of Prisons)? FACT!

    Did you know that it is a 9 billion dollar annual industry even larger than the IRS? FACT!

    Misconception:
    Prison inmates are a tax cost burden to state, federal, and local governments.

    Truth:
    On a state level this is true (to a certain extent, certainly NOT 70k per inmate/year like they want you to believe).

    When you are incarcerated federally you go to work for the B.O.P. starting 17-19 cents/hour. This slave labor (UNICOR, the prison workforce) makes the government on average over $32,000 per year per inmate!

    The federal government has an agenda to incarcerate:
    The Clinton administration is spending more money building new federal prisons than the entire budget for every school with a federal budget in our education system combined!

    Projections?
    The projections include from the 1/22 adults incarcerated federally now to a narrowing gap of 1/7 by the year 2005! The Reagan administration was equally as heinous and it is now only a perpetuated cycle of insanity.

    Well where does Kevin Mitnick fit in?

    Kevin Mitnick has become an open door for federal prosecutors to use as precedence for persecuting the next generation of white collar criminals. You could be next if we fail to recognize. Kevin Mitnick's case will merely become a tool for prosecution.

    Here is what I mean:
    It seems the FEDS have run fresh out of wire fraud cases to trump charges, with conspiracy blankets, on 18-25 year olds who go to work unknowingly for fraudulant companies that were taking "little old ladies" savings accounts. These "kids" would get a job from the paper, go to work for a bogus company for 5-8 dollars per hour, then two or three years later be indicted on charges. The typical scenario was the owner of the company escaping jail time by testifying on everyone who had worked for him. The unsuspecting people bever even knew anything was wrong with the company til they were on their way to the prison for 4-6 years.

    More to it:
    The government is constantly developing more ways to get convictions, when entrapment was ruled "unconstitutional" they quickly developed a new blanket for convictions that is still used today called conspiracy. If two people say you did it, you did it (in the federal courts eyes).

    "Heresay" has now been duped "circumstantial evidence", many convictions are based on this insane ideology.

    Prosecutors are generally very conservative. They typically have political agendas, they want to become magistrates/judges. They measure their success not only by convictions, but by years notched in their belt. The prosecutor whom I have personal experience with had over two million years sentenced.

    These facts can easily be researched and I encourage this education.
    http://www.famm.org/ ocasionally has good reading and interesting facts. Most of my sources are from a magazine to which I no longer subscribe called "Prison Life".

    The government believes we can be easily fooled by media diversions to cover and profit. Think they are working together?

    So, what the fuck are you reading the New York Lies for?

    Am I paranoid? If you are not I pity you.

    I am also pretty sure M$ plays a role in here somewhere. Bwaa hahahaha...

    holy shit i am missing dinner!
