Larry Ellison already has most indian developers on his pay roll doing the most mundane of tasks, like manually hex editing oracle tablespaces and writing pl/sql in machine language.
New legal loopholes, number of law suits hopefully will be reduced. Bugs fixed, patched up and worked a fix for delaying litigation for as long as possible. TODO, find more legal loopholes that will not put an end to p2p, serialz, crackz and bibtex entries also to be added to sharing.
The radiation from a monitor is emitted from the front sides of the monitor, the least radiation goes straight to where someone is sitting, So if you want larger radiation dose, stand on the front side of the monitor, like 30 times more.
Seriously, other than lawyers, ppl studying law and judges, who the hell reads these agrements anyway? Does clicking 'I agree' classify as an electronic signature? I mean you could accidentally hit 'I agree'. It isn't like you can accidentally sign a contract from the bank.
Maybe slashdot should open up a 'silly EULA' competition along with the 'silly patents'.
spammers are dl'ing and debugging the code as we speak to figure out loopholes. They've been tossing and turning over legal and technical loopholes ever since spamming^H^H^Hdirect marketing became popular.
1) Get caught up in the legal system, 1/5 to 2/5th's of your life will go down the drain and you'll come out losing faith in all of society and humanity.
2) Be made an example of by the authorities testing out there new piece of legislation. This could be more harmful to you than the first.
I thought about uncapping my modem, only because $80AUS a month for a 3G limit is criminal, but they classify that as stealing, and if it's one thing the authorities know jack shit about it's technology, so they'll enforce the law tougher than anywhere else and make examples out of ppl left right and center. It amazes me that hackers can get equal or lengthier sentences than rapists or murderers.
I haven't been keeping up to date but have the gnome ppl fallen behind? From the stories I've been hearing it seems that they have a resource allocation problem and not getting priorities straight. I just hope that the original developers haven't all jumped onto mono and neglected everything else.
Anything in a creative industry is either going to succeed immensely, break even or flop. If someone isn't fulfilled by something that is meant to entertain them then it they're not going to like it, and if this happens to the majority of ppl then it is bound to flop. Sometimes it's just a small thing, like this bit of the game or movie just made me totally not interested. Ppl are also looking for something new, when a once winning formula is applied over and over again everyone gets bored. How many wolfenstein type games are there ever going to be made or big budget movies with no story line but millions of dollars worth of special effects? Then there is the new idea product that is like a double or nothing scenario, either we're going to hit the big time or we're going to be bankrupt.
There must be a dozen or so sites in each country that take a list of recentltly defaced web sites, I guess this isn't as severe as screwing up millions of credit card numbers.
Shouldn't the consumer be aware if someone who they gave there credit card details has been hacked and now they are exposed? It comes down to, if your a victim, you want to know.
1) No...Namibia accepts aid from countless numbers of country and most of these donors normally consider the Namibian government to be a good development partner.
Thats really great.
2) That some of these countries (e.g., many in southern Africa) are concerned about the quality of what they are offered in donations is not stupid. I suggest you read something like "The Lords of Poverty" to get a clue on this.
And your telling me because? 3) Now...how do you suppose the Taliban came to power? It just might have been helped by all of the U.S. military aid it received both BEFORE, during, and after the Soviet invasion. Step out of Disneyland for a moment.
No that is not how the Taliban came to power, go and read the part about the mujahadeen and the civil war that followed after the war against the soviets ended - "get a clue on this". You think that because the CIA trained a few mujahadeen fighters that the taliban came into power, that sounds realistic not. 5) People know about Red Hat in Namibia...thank you very much.
Okay so your obviously African.. so why don't you write letters to your local elected member of your concerns over using microsoft and offer the altnernatives??
Did the taliban not refuse aid provided by the United States before being overthrown? Does North Korea not refuse aid by South Korea? Or is this all a global brainwashing tactic by the Illuminati? I wasn't entirely serious about namibia though.
Anyone ever see an OLED, TOLED, SOLED or FOLED display? If you haven't then why not? I am perplexed as to why it isn't starting to take over or get more coverage. I think that even the current new stuff is going to be beaten hands down with these displays, when I first saw them.. yes they even exist and have been demonstrated on national tv (unlike ginger or whatever it was) I could not believe this stuff. It is definately going to be the wave of the future. I don't even work for any of these companies or own shares in them, although shares would be a good idea.
Is this one of those countries that refuses any form of help from anyone, even if say the EU were to donate several tonnes of wheat to help it's starving citizens? Basically taliban/N.Korean style. Or is it about money? I think if anything, RedHat should get off there arses and spread the word to 3rd world countries on open source initiatives.
Shouldn't the courts regardless of when the markets open or close give there ruling just like any other? Or is this a hint that it is going to be a bad.. well good ruling (ruling against microsoft)?
In 1902 there was no British Empire in Australia, well not really. Australia became a federation in 1901. Soutport is not too far from here, whatever the cable had to contribute it is barely noticable now as I live in Brisbane and have never heard of this.
Probably nothing new other than it's a major announcement, and I bet redhat are closely watching this one. Seriously now, isn't this a big kick in the face? What about OpenOffice, AbiWord etc? The only reason I've ever needed WORD is because some moron wrote something and sent it over in a.doc file or.ppt. I think the real answer is for the justice dept to force m$ to open up there document formats.
it's like those guys who try find a way to make a seedless watermelon.
so we should get funding for a mission to pluto?

Life on Pluto?

It seems that lately, every astronomer and scientist has been coming up with the theory, if A then B then C then that means that there is a _possibility of D (water trapped ice, or substance E) that has the likelihood of life the size of bacteria. The bottom line is that the scientific community, wheter it be geology, astronomy or whatever has to sell something and it just happens to be that astronomy is what interests most people. Of course the possibility of life somewhere else in the universe is always exciting.
Hrmm I thought about that and I think that is a good point. I guess the interview is not over till you walk out of the door and your out of there sights. Heh, come to think of it, when I went to the secretary to say I was here I was looking at the attendance book to see who else was in there that day (to see if I knew anyone) and when I sat down she slammed it shut.. probably had a word to the interview guy later. Bad move on my part but nevertheless 'interview experience'.
I'm about to finish an Honours degree and I still haven't started looking for jobs. I think what I will do is look for contract work first, that also seems to be where most of the jobs are now in I.T, easy to lay off and for other cost cutting reasons. I still haven't read the article because it's/.'d but good to see this stuff around.
What I've always thought is that writing the best resume is relative to who is reading it, and usually you don't know what they are like and what other ppl's resumes look like comparatively. Basically, you can write a good enough resume to pass as a viable one, but the rest is luck. Usually nowadays they invite (depending on the number of ppl) 2/3rds to an interview. From the interviewer's point of view they get out of work and do something different, more so they want to find the best person they want to work with, and maybe the best person for the job.
What I don't get and hate is when the interviewer talks to you as if you have already got the job. I went for an interview at Sun once and they even showed me around and where I was going to sit. Almost _2 months later I got the call from a middle man saying they gave it to someone else. Talkin in the sense that you got the job and then ringing/writing and telling you that you don't is a recipe for infuriating the interviewee yet they all do it. Another time I went for a job interview where I even told them I am not so qualified for the job, and the offered and they still offered it to me, showed me around and said I start next week. As I was saying before, you don't know the real situation outside of the interview room, what they are really like or how they are going to take your resume. Does luck have anything to do with it? Yes.
It would have been preferrable to inform the OpenSSL people first, wait a month, then release the worm.
It would be preferrable to let the security at the bank to know that your about to commit armed robbery so they can stop you. Of course there is a difference between white and black hat hackers.

well.. "It was an accident" has a chance of holding up in court, "I signed it by accident" won't.

Sounds like the beginning of the end of Gnome and ximian, there core customers/users aren't to keen on mono no matter how 'cool' it is.
I haven't been keeping up to date but have the gnome ppl fallen behind? From the stories I've been hearing it seems that they have a resource allocation problem and not getting priorities straight. I just hope that the original developers haven't all jumped onto mono and neglected everything else.
