Yeah that party can sue you if you didn't put up your end of the deal. Californias consumer "lemon" law is pretty comprehensive, she probably will prevail and that may mean fairer licensing for all of us

So lets get a tibetan president,a North african army and a chinese congress.
The chinese have been educated for 1000's of years, north africa is a hell of a lot nearer to iraq, the tibetan president has understanding of human nature.
See computing is a new skill, we need to retain a workforce that has this knowledge to move to the next breakthroughs, ie dna computation, nano-sciences.

I haven't experienced any problems and "j2ee" (btw I use an application server not "j2ee") can beat zope on my solaris box. zope works really badly for multi cpu machines
This is the same Broussard who claimed that changing the engine mid stream would *not* affect the release date back in 1998
Yeah right, because it is never going to get released at this rate.
They need an organized project manager, George stick to getting the strippers in the game just right. Leave the project stuff to someone else, purleeeze
you are right, this guy must work for the cable industry. New direct tv subscribers can get direct tv installed for $30, I got a tivo unit last year for $20 from these guys and it was installed free.

Oh and my nice ex-cable provider has been on my property *twice* in one year to check on the cable box, for security and quality control checks. The same company that wouldn't come out to find out why I was getting frigging bad reception in the first place.
International travel has suffered with the US economy. The little guys had little exposure to that part of the market.
Both big and little guys also cleaned up on short haul, the little guys have less overheads than the major airlines and now are the king of the hill on short/express travel.
Some people work on their own cars too but the large population just take it to the shop
tivo is the best solution for them, tv on the pc is only for single person households with a *spare* machine that doesn't get virii, random slow downs, etc
And with all the improvements in health care people will live longer, and because the body degrades like Mir under radiation, we will need even more medical advances and so on. Lets fix the ill today, we don't need cloning
National debt, fooey. Who is the bank, national bank of the universe? Its all artificial.
Space and science are the one thing this generation can give back to the human race forever.
Seems to be prove that really is a thin line between genius and madness.

Windows by design is insecure, that is the difference. Windows 2000 was supposed to fix that, and then we are now told its windows xp and is trustworthy computing.
I have the 64mb version, easily an hour of music, the thing is tiny, weighs next to nothing and has an armband. I use my own ear pieces the supplied 'buds' fall out to easily. I love it.
Downsides Software is very primitive but just about does what you need. Not upgradeable, need 1 nihm/nicd rechargeable battery, rechargeable alks don't cut it.
You need to be in a census track that they don't have representation for. When the new census data was published I had a couple of folks contact me, claiming I was in a special area ( I think the bounds had been changed) one of those was Neilsen.
However they couldn't use me because I said I didn't think they equipment would work with tivo. They need to verify that you are watching the program at a specific time through sensors.
I don't work for HPQ or Dell or have shares in either. I think the HP math is suspect, they did say 2 days of HPs printer sales but why use this terminology? If it was 2 out of 365 = 0.54% , surely less than 1% would sound good? But perhaps its 2 out of every business day in a year, that percentage would be closer to 2%.
Now hp sell printers from 100 to 3000+ plus, that means the 2% could be closer to 30% for printers $300
HP makes money from supplies like the razor companies, they need the market penetration to sustain this model. The profit on ink doesn't vary much between the 100-500 dollar models, you want them all.
We had a similar system, for automated call recovery to stores. Now when testing you don't normally have real phone numbers to experiment, so for one test the test guy gathered up numbers from folks in the office that would be unanswered during the day.
Tests fail, test guy goes home.
Automated software systems redials at a random later time. Random time was within 24 hours of last call, ie the early hours of the morning next day.
Test guy makes lots of new friends when the word goes around why they got a 4am phone call from a modem.

Of course we don't get to hear about the IBM legal team out on the offensive.
"just buy 3-4 cheap VCRs and set the time to record your shows. That would get you 18-20 hours of record time."
1) It would use more electricity
2) You need to split the signal->degradation
3) You still need to buy a tv guide or print one out
And anyway it still isn't as powerful as tivo season pass and suggestions

I often wonder how many Microsoft employees/interns frequent this forum.
See something you don't like about a beloved company and you want to restrict freedom of speech now!

nope they are just findings of fact.
I'm still waiting for the Microsoft community site (is gotdotnet all they are doing) let us know of their plans Yankovic

Here is hoping they call me back!
The last time we used pwc we asked for an expert c programmer and boy did we have to pay a premium price.
Our expert arrived, she lasted one day and instructed us to call her management as she had only finished the c course the friday before!

How did Solaris *lose* this account?
The Unix they replaced was SCO unix, often used as pos terminals which is really a loss for Caldera especially as they already had this account!
Sounds like Sun could prove a case of malicious falsehood here
The information is not correct and is known to be not correct and is damaging to Suns reputation
So you are not a marketeer and you are not an engineer. In another forum you say you are not a lawyer. Do you have any qualifications at all?
Its not just engineers, testers can screw up too.

Backward compatibility is provided by compat-libstdc++.
Theoretically yes, there are still issues, c++ exceptions etc
libpthread another problem library, glibc 2.2.5 another.
