All this does is encourage unreasonably high MSRP values. Maybe that's what amazon wants... that way they can list everything at 60-70% "discount" off of a fictional MSRP all the time.
That's what I was thinking, but more extreme.
Everyone here is saying "Set the MSRP to $10, and you'll get a $2 cut no matter the sales price."
My thought is, set the MSRP to $100,000,000, and then you get twenty million dollars per sale even if Amazon decides the sales price should be 99 cents.
That's because unlike "Federal Reserve" and "Federal Express", "Bank of Canada" doesn't have a snappy, pronounceable contraction (Fed and FedEx respectively).
China already has a flagship distro called Red Flag although I don't have any statistics available with regards to its number of users. I suspect some Chinese may be leery of using Red Flag for fear that it becomes a giant tattle-telling box. Since it is open source, wouldn't you be able to look at it and see if its a tattle-tell or not?
This was a story in a tabloid newspaper for idiots. A newly-elected Conservative MP proposed it but she is a nobody. The Register has a more accurate report. Thanks for sharing, but what does that have to do with Al Franken?
They impacted hundreds of other unrelated businesses and thousands of customers due to the complete and utter stupidity of the FBI agent in charge.
In the article, some of those companies were complaining that they lost all their data and they couldn't get back online.
So my question is: why no off-site backups, and why no off-site failover?
What if it had been a tornado or earthquake that took the server, instead of the FBI? Did these companies have no contengency plan to get up and running again?
How does a local mom-n-pop ISP (often with far better customer service) compete when the base price of the DSL circuit (without service) is more than the incumbent monopoly package price?
Compete on service and not price. The same way that mom-n-pop stores compete against Home Depot and WalMart.
If the service is good, people will pay a premium for it.
With the advent of URL shorteners, we all can publish websites online, without DNS, and through Social Networks show it to the world, easily through some link like http://bit.ly/myFooWebsite. How do people get to a website on bt.ly if there is no DNS?
They should have been in public domain since nobody is profiting from them anymore.
There's lots of open source code protected by copyright, but not generating any profit. Should that all go into public domain and not have any copyright protection?
Yes, its frustrating. I am trying to come with the a.com name and most of the a names are squatted (Registered but no website or godaddy.com website.) The web is not the internet. There are many more things to use a domain for than just a website.
People that choose to watch the shows over the internet are actively choosing to not make regular network TV a part of their day. They aren't willing to sit down at 8 pm, 7 central to watch Chuck; they want to watch it at 6:00 am before work. 10 years ago, they would have been lost viewers. Why would those viewers be lost? Wouldn't those viewers have used a VCR 10 years ago? Or a TiVo?
And that's how we got a second term for GWB instead of Al Gore - all you folks who voted for Ralph Nader and so on handed the White House to the Republicans. And vice-versa. All you folks who voted for Gore instead of Nader handed the White House to the Republicans.
Yes memcached defaults to only accepting connections from the local address. From memcached.conf
What you posted does not say the default is localhost. It says the opposite: "# Specify which IP address to listen on. The default is to listen on all IP addresses "
MLB has maybe 1 perfect game a year, or every other year. Lets say once every 2 years to be generous. There's 32 teams, playing 180 games (roughly)...thats 16 matches x 180 times x 2 years with a chance of producing a perfect game. So statistically, a 1 in 5760 chance of producing a perfect game.
Shouldn't that be 32 teams x 180 games? In each match, either team can get a perfect game.
the fact that I can place Seoul as being an asian country... is rather impressive. I'm not impressed. Seoul is not an asian country. Or any country at all. It's a city in South Korea.
What if I don't complete the class or fail the class or otherwise don't get credit? Does that mean there was no renumeration and I get to keep my copyrights?

Are you also aware that there is no thing called "whaletank"
So what do they call the thing at Sea World that they keep the whales in?
but far exceeds the percentage who are exclusively homosexual.
If you're not "exclusively" homosexual, doesn't that make you bi-sexual?

FedEx is now the name of the company, not a contracton.
The middle class pay most of the taxes, not the rich. And the rich pays nowhere near when the amount of wealth they have would justify.
slightly over 66% of all income tax is paid by people earning between about 34K and 353K.
353K is middle class?

The problem is that The O'Reilly Factor airs on a channel called Fox News.
How is that a problem?
Do you also think it's a problem that some programs on the Cable News Network are not news?

No, Moto is keeping iDEN. Nokia doesn't want it.

Its nice that your kids know about the three rules. Apparently, you do not.
I have two loaded handguns in my house right now
The Third rule is "ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use." So why are you not following that rule?
