"eBay prohibits the listing of items or products to be delivered electronically through the Internet."
Last time I checked email was electronically through the internet. The only way to get around this clause would be to burn it to cd/zip/other media and mail it to the winner.

The wire needs to be thick to allow for the current (which is the same thing as amps) increasing the voltage decreases the current if you want the same total watts, therefor you can use smaller wires.

"if there's a genuine market for Ogg, companies will recognize the need to support it."
That is like saying the superior technology will win, when the truth is that the best marketed tech usually wins out. The only way to get Ogg on more devices is for consumers to show their interest. (By signing petitions, emailing, or otherwise pestering the company)
It read as something directly from a text book and it was off topic. And we all know that moderation doesn't always work as planned. I personally think it was a well done troll.
I suppose only time will tell. From everything I've heard though it is a pretty major hassle to incorporate a programming division 1/2way across the world unless you are a very large player. There will always be startups and mid sized companies that either can't afford to or don't want to do that.
I don't think the situation is that bad. What we've done is weeded out a lot of the people who didn't have the skills to compete. I know some out of work programmers, but the ones that are actually good at what they do always seem to manage to find a job quickly.
The problem is that we had so many people jumping into the field because of the boom, and when the bubble naturally burst you are left with an over abundance of workers. I forsee the current situation ending up in an equilibrium where there are not an over abundance of jobs, but not a shortage either. IE just like any other field of work.
I have never used Access db syncing before (in fact I didn't even know you could do that with Access) but from your comment it sounds like they are using a publish/subscribe model, where the subsciber gets its data from the publisher. The subscriber's data is forced to match the publishers. That makes sense to me at least. It sounds like it wasn't inteded for redundancy but more for something like offline use with an online central database.
They are loosing money because they chose the wrong product for the job. Access was never inteded to be a production database. SQL server (while it has its share of bugs) was, and doesn't have the issues you are gripeing about.
You might be able to have some sort of compromise, where there are a section of popular printed books to browse through, and you can have them print one if you want to "test" it. Then either buy it or they put it on the shelf. That way you have some dead tree books already there, but not taking up nearly as much space, and they would probably get sold eventually.
They bother because it *is* insecure. SMTP is going to be around for a while, but that shouldn't stop a better MTA protocol from being developed. Kinda like ipv6, although thats takeing a lot longer than anticipated:)
Your enotebook could probably take the place of your pda given enough time, and there was an article a while back about a lcd monitor that took pictures too (although b&w very grainy)
Of course, then you would have people holding up a flimsy piece of paper at you and saying "Say cheese":)
When I'm choosing books I like to be able to feel them, judge them on their physical characteristics. (What the cover looks like, quality of paper, size, etc)
Plus I usually flip through the book, read a couple pages just to see if I like the tone. It just wouldn't be the same:)
From the announcement: There is a new boot-time kernel command line option called exec-shield=, which has 4 values. Each value represents a different level of security:
exec-shield=0 - always-disabled exec-shield=1 - default disabled, except binaries that enable it exec-shield=2 - default enabled, except binaries that disable it exec-shield=3 - always-enabled
The way to enable/disable specific binaries would be through the chstk program, that he also modified.
So its completely possible to have one application running without the protection while all the others are.
It will work with the patch, because you can specifically decline to have the kernel enable this protection for your program. (or you can only enable it for the applications you want) While you may not be able to enable this kind of protection for that type of program, its possible for the two to coexist on the same system.
Drivers typically require privleges to work, hardware access, etc etc. A poorly written driver will take down any OS, no matter if its linux, winXP, or DOS.
Of course, I agree about being able to trash the filesystem, NT security is okay, but only as long as you don't run everything as administrator.
In that case its most likely faulty hardware or drivers. I've been running nt, win2k, and xp on a variety of machines and inevitably when one of them starts crashing on a regular basis its hardware related either the drivers or the actual peice.
Rez was one of the biggest time eaters that I've ever played.. Hours in a trance like state making funking music while almost playing a game. Does it ever end? all I've managed to do is just keep unlocking more levels.
As opposed to letting the path of least resistance be open to exploitation? In a perfect world all paths to a result would have the same measure of security, without an option for anything less secure.
I used to use one of these for my car, to adapt my portable cd player to the cassette deck. I didn't notice much sound quality difference, it sounded a lot better than a standard tape would, in any case.
Its not MSN Messenger, its the NetBIOS popup service that runs on NT, 2000, and XP. If you don't know what that is, it pops up a little message box on the center of your screen with the text. You can use the "net send username message" command to use it

Well why isn't it in my geo metro yet?!! ;)
One big use would be for displaying speed/rpm/etc on your windshield instead of the dash so you don't have to look down while your driving.
Sometimes you just have to feed the trolls :)

What exactly does this have to do with content management?
