Sean Lane's purchase was supposed to be a surprise for his wife. Then it appeared as a news headline -- "Sean Lane bought 14k White Gold 1/5 ct Diamond Eternity Flower Ring from overstock.com" -- last week on the social networking Web site Facebook.
Without Lane's knowledge, the headline was visible to everyone in his online network, including 500 classmates from Columbia University and 220 other friends, co-workers and acquaintances.
And his wife.

Lane complained to Overstock. Company spokesman Judd Bagley said this week that on Nov. 21, Overstock abandoned its Beacon feature until Facebook changes its practice so that users must volunteer if they want to participate.
Hard to be an ad-supported site if the advertisers won't advertise...
Is that like opening the Terminal and doing chmod and chown? I went from Linux to Mac and find that I just go to the command line when the gui is less than obvious.
I remember that booth. Not on the show floor, over in the 'Linux Pavillion' which, that year, was in a hotel attached to the LVCC. The BSD crew was there too. And the Caldera guys across the way making too much noise.
Wasn't "Office-in-a-box" one of those "1. 2. 3.??? 4. Profit!" thingies that went down in flames at the end of the dot com boom, taking the retirement funds of thousands of grey haired grannies along with it?
Bought out by. Hmm. VA Research, IIRC. After which VAs stock price cratered, they went out of the hardware business, and now/. is the major income source for them.

If the cost of a burglary investigation is likely to exceed the cost of the burglary, do the police not investigate?
Of course you'll have to do without well maintained roads, and other government services, but at least your taxes will be lower.
They don't need high taxes to drive out businesses. The housing prices are doing a fine job of it.
How is it for reading, say, War and Peace for several hours at a stretch?
An airburst wouldn't leave a crater. Drawing lines would lead to the hypocenter, directly under the burst.
Not working that well, is it?
No problem. I'll use a Moebius strip.
over Mucho Grande. Let me tell you about it...
And, ummm, me.
It would be the mainframe industry.

We didn't gamble because most of us had enough math to know that ,in the long run, the House always Wins.
