Take the concept of "bursting" bandwidth to the email box. Allow your email box to have a 20 meg limit, but only for 20 minutes while your granny sends you that video of her vacation to Hawaii, and then you drop back down to the 5 meg limit.
Hopefully this will help them retain important members of their sales and service teams.
Oh, it definitly will! Just as soon as all the executives get thier "demotions" for putting thier company into bankruptcy. You know, the demotions that will put the CEOs and Vice Presidents into lowly salesmen and and service positions... that'll show em.
Like health care? "Sorry, sir. I know there's a gaping wound in your skull and that it hurts, but your credit is no good here. Please go away and die outside in the gutter with all the other poor people."
Give me a second to go call the media so the people in this town can get all riled up and come and firebomb your hospital... oh, or what were you saying about treatment?
Now, if you are evil and cruel, like me for instance, getting a telemarketer is not something you dread; it's something to look forward to!
"Hold on, I have to turn off the stove," 3 minutes. Nice as can be, "Ok, I'm back, now what were you telling me?" 20 seconds. "Oops, now one of the kids is trying to hurt himself," there goes another five minutes, "Wait, the doorbell", 4 minutes. "No, I really do want to hear your pitch, it sounds great! I'm almost sold" "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear that last couple of minutes that you were talking becuase I ran off to the bathroom, could you repeat it" 7 minutes....
It is often characterized as a fundamentally new way to develop software that poses a serious challenge to the commercial software businesses that dominate most software markets today.
I was under the impression that this kind of approach to building is a fudamentally old way of getting the job done. The Homebrew Computer Club essentally built everything "open source" (well, it was hardware mostly, but same approach). The current resurgence of OSS is not something new and revolutionary, it is instead a rediscovery of old techniques that were coopted by big business.
I'd agree with this comment except MS needs to sell 4 games to make up for the loss they take on each system. If people buy XBOXes but don't buy games for them (i.e. they buy them to install Linux on so they can tap tap tap at it all day), then MS doesn't want their business. They lose.
That's the fault of microsoft, though. If I sell a toothpick holder becuase I expect people to buy my gold plated toothpicks to put in it, I don't get to complain when they use it to hold thier paper clips.
``If this bill were to pass, it would render ineffective, worthless and useless any protection measure we would have in place to protect a $100 million movie,'' Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said of the Lofgren bill. ``You could download a million movies a day, and no penalty for it.''
Wow, can you imagine if that were possible, to download a million movies a day? A $100,000,000 movie at 1,000,000 downloads a day... OH MY GOD! This bill would cost the entertainment industry more than $100,000,000,000,000 A DAY! That's 100 TRILLION dollars, every single day. We must stop this at ALL COSTS!

I must ask a few things. First how do you pronounce 'Fukuoka'? The first 4 letters seem to stick out..
FU KEW OH KA
Where does the 'small town' come from? I live in London, Ontario, Canada. It is what I consider a medium sized city of 330k people. So it is weird for me to see small town being 1 million people. I am thinking of going to a small city (90k ppl) when I move on.
Tokyo has over 50 million people living in it. I know the Atlas say something like 12, but that's becuase the city itself extends beyond it's own borders (Technically, Tokyo is no actually a "city", it's more like what we would refer to as maybe a county. It has lots of little cities inside it, but they have ONG since merged into one mass.)
So, when you are dealing with citties on that scale, 1m is peanuts.
and get a laser with *pupil tracking*. It is worth it. I went from -6 to perfect in a single session, but the extra money you pay for a quality laser that can move with your eye if you twitch.
I would caution against using the President's address, because we all know what a great sense of humor the Secret Service has, right? Instead, send him an email "from" himself. Something like "Hi me, If you will notice the 'from' address, this email is being sent from you to you. Since it is impossible to forge headers in your mind, this must have been written by you while you were sleepwalking. Basically I'm your subconcious telling you to drop the case."
Rosen must be a business genius, what other CEO can lose more in one year then they made in the last 5 combined, and still turn the same profit as the previous year!
The other side of the coin is that limited disclosure disarms the script kiddies and cyber vandals by not giving them an exploit on a plate.
Skript kiddies are not the problem. Let this message be shouted from the hills. A sckript kiddie scrawls his name on your corporate web page and leave a little egg on your face. They are harmless. The person you need to worry about a LOT is the hacker who knows what he is doing, who already knows your flaws, and is looking for your company secrets, your pre-patent diagrams, your strategy memos and he wants to sell to the highest bidder.
We all know that the 9/11 terrorists did not show thier ID or used fake ID information to board those planes, right? Right? Oh wait, that's right, they used thier real names. What a great way to make airports safer, solving problems you don't have.

Please clarify the difference between real code and bugged code. :-)
Th real code is the one with the BSD license that was written two years ago by some college student for a semester project.

If a sub at two different stores costs the same $5.00, I would definitely buy the 7-inch one over the 1-inch version for the same price;
But if you were buying an anal supposetory for your hemmerhoid flare up, would you still be so eager to chose the 7" over the 1"?

"How many megabytes will my 'Helloworld.exe' be after I compile it."
"Would you stake your daughter's life on the security of the Pallidium system?"
So the message to the youth... making love is bad. Killing is good.
Darwinism in action.
The legitimacy of the copyright extension still remains a question. But it's in their best interest to play along with whatever the US wants.
Yeah, I agree. It almost sounds like they have some principles or something, what's with that?
But we all know that Goofy's ballots weren't counted!
What other hobbies do you know of where the person is compelled to sit still in one place for long hours at a time?
