I wonder how this will affect stock trading message boards. This boy used message boards to talk up certain stocks, and I'm sure that its no worse than the crap stock analysts on cnbc or msnbc say. However, this ruling on message boards may not apply due to the fact it affects the stock market.
This would work, until their government finds out and bans encryption. They'd probably pass this law without the user knowing it, and show up at his house the next day and cut off his index finger to keep him from ever clicking on a hyperlink again.
Here's the solution. Have Microsoft sell the Arab nations the security software. That way, we guarantee security holes and people will then get around the software, allowing them to get to anywhere they want on the internet.
This agreement only becomes free Microsoft advertisement because no other alternative will be considered by these schools.
I don't know who all remembers the mid-90's that well, but Microsoft gave away its Internet Explorer to millions of Windows users. And what happened to then fledgeling Netscape?
I don't *think* Microsoft could write this off because it is what it has to pay for the lawsuit. It would be like paying a speeding ticket and claiming it as a tax credit because you paid money to the government.
How about Microsoft has to spend the money to buy the computers, but must put free (as in speech, not beer) software on the computers. Microsoft then helps out the schools without having to spend all that money on expensive software. That is what it's all about, right? Helping out the schools?
Of course, if the whole network is obscured. A logical temporary solution to higher security is to give less people access to the network. If you want to keep your money safe, put your safe in your house, don't leave the safe outside where anyone walking by can attempt the combination.
The first 20 minutes featured almost no cooking. There was alot of getting into the chefs, seeming more like a documentary that I would title "Behind the cooking." This probably will change for the second episode. But this show has an uphill climb. Between the purist attitudes of many viewers and the difficult Friday night timeslot, this may not make the cut.
We can spend BILLIONS of dollars in anticipation of a POSSIBLE smallpox attack, or spend those exact same billions of dollars on a project GUARANTEED to save millions of lives.

The US and UK based drug companies and governments aren't doing anything about this - they have the drugs to slow the spread of HIV right now - they choose not to use them.
I guess this means saving someones life and postponing the onset of the disease are the same thing.
And one more thing. HIV is nothing compared to smallpox or the bubonic plague. I could sit next to an HIV infected person all day and not get sick. A minute in a room whwere someone with smallpox was yesterday will most likely result in me contracting the disease. It's a much worse disease and if it is released, the small cost that is GUARANTEED (we liked that word above) to provide protection to Americans is better spent than giving drugs to African's who don't practice safe sex.
Shame on them to say that selling products on the web and selling advertising space are ineffective business models, when this page has both. The real problem with most websites has been that the material wouldn't be sellable in any other media as well. The fact that sales were done over the internet wasn't the cause of the downfall of groceries over the internet. Groceries over phone or mail would be considered equally crazy. A company that wants to make money over the internet should have real content that would be worth paying for. Considering most webpages turn out to be useless or not worth paying for, this business model is doomed to failure, plus the electronic economic model would be difficult to implement, just imagine a toll booth at every intersection on the roads. I think people will find that the traditional methods of making money in mass media will work for the internet. Advertisers will pay for advertising space where there is real content. This is why you can't sell $1million adds on the public access channel.
You have to remember the first rule of bureaucracy: If you don't spend all your money, you won't have it next year. This results in an agency like NASA spending excess money to do what could be done by any private body for less money. And when people see the inefficiencies, they complain that NASA's wasting money. They're only doing it so their budget won't get cut. However, they should take the extra money and actually do something useful with it.
You have to remember how disk drive manufacturers sell disks.
1kB = 1000 bytes
1MB = 1000000 bytes
1GB = 10^9 bytes
1TB = 10^12 bytes
1PB = 10^15 bytes
Remember that kilo, mega, giga, tera, and peta were originally designed to be base 10 (not base 2^10). It just so happened that powers of 2 occasionally get close to powers of 10.

Much like my bland, meaningless slashdot posts, my webpages will now be subject to the same lack of positive moderation. Geez.

This is a great meteor shower, but not what it was hyped up to be. But still better off than watching Iron Chef USA.
No kidding. The outfits reminded me of the announcers on Let's Bowl.

You seem to be contradicting yourself.

This link contains the truly sad part. The fact that not one, but several people bid this up is quite sad.
I hope this is more profitable than the Calculator division HP just disbanded.

and I'll have a tattoo on my butt until they switch.
Since Ameritrade's quote system will go from FIVE systems running Linux to HUNDREDS running windows 2000. Hmm...
Exactly. I mean, if slashdot can't filter out links to the love of the goat, can we expect hate speech blocked.
The world according to microsoft:
It's bad for open source software to supposedly run software and IP companies out of business,
but,
It's ok for MS to bully other competing companies out of business by use of monopoly power.
Hmmm....
Where did you come up with The Tick's world famous battle cry?

I'm more nervous about the bank leaving the vault door open than this.
