You can trust your employees, but loyalty in the tech industry in this day and age is more fleeting than ever, so, well, you can't trust everyone - so you have to equally not trust everyone. It isn't the greatest thing, but that's the way it is...
Hehe - been there, know people there... sad... of course, I'm in downtown Roch, MN now... where even 'downtown' is practically suburbia... all these doctors and engineers...

Yeah, I have a tendency to over-parens (or whatever) when I am writing (typing, e-mailing (messaging of any kind, really)). Just a habit I got into (can't remember when) - maybe when I was programming in LISP? Of course then all of the words in the sentence would be in a different order...

<from the Mozilla Crypto FAQ>
1.Have all the issues with Mozilla and crypto now been resolved?
Almost. Now that the RSA patent is in the public domain, Mozilla crypto development can proceed with minimal restrictions. In the near future the Mozilla code base will include a complete open source cryptographic library, and Mozilla will include SSL support as a standard feature.
In recent news, iBiblio (formerly known as Bruce Perens) was quoted as saying, "Heck, I'll change my name to Slashdot, if VA will cough up the right amount of change." The Technocrat formerly known as Bruce later retracted the statement, claiming it to be a hoax perpetrated by a "Bruce Perens.", not the real iBiblio. Other comments to reporters about a low "user-id" got lost in the mix, as the storied guru was repeatedly harassed to explain about "eunuchs" and other obscure topics. No word yet on how this will affect Bruce 2.0.
Yup, the article title is "IE 5.5 Tracking Default Bookmarks". Notice the use of the word "Default" between "Tracking" and "Bookmarks".
In the summary - "...the default bookmarks in..." again, we see the word "default" being used directly before "bookmarks". Strange coincidence, or ignorant, overmoderated, trolling parent post? You be the judge.
(at least read the *title* of the article before ou post - you don't need to do this sort of crap to bash Slashdot - There's plenty of legitimate claims...) --
it's one thing for ads - that's known by the user as a revenue source, and you have to expect that clicking on it redirects you. A *bookmark* in a browser is *not* expected to take you anywhere but the deestintion stated - who would think, "these bookmarks came with the browser, so obviously they'll take me through Microsoft's site for tracking purposes before I get where I'm going" (not to mention that it ends up being twice as slow as before...). Apparently we all *should* expect this type of thing from Microsoft, but it really is a shame that it has to happen.
Add microsft.com to the list of banned sites in IE... find out how often you really are there... --

Sounds just like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with different scenery;-0
Or, more likely, like the Body Wars/Back to the Future/can't think of the other one right now style of ride... a bunch of people in a tin can (like the Bud driver simulators) on hydraulics, with surround video and sound, rumble seats, etc.
Or maybe they just moved space mountain into the Golf Ball 8^)
You'd have just a good a chance as you would on Mir - it's a lot easier to recuperate from debilitating oxygen loss, the bends, and the like than it would be from re-entry... --

I don't think that Macs were running on PPC 16 years ago... lets frame this into a realistic idea here.
That's like saying that IBM OS/360/370/390 beat Linux390 by decades on mainframes... true, but completely irrelevant.

Neither one would work - those arent valid C statements 8^)
