I just visited google's page with IE7 and I got a wonderful popup on their page.
Make Google your search engine in Internet Explorer
with a lovly arrow pointing at the search bar... And there's a button marked "Make Google my search". Sounds pretty easy to re-assign the search to google. It's actually harder to move it back to MSN (they have no popup "informing" you of the choice).
The Microsoft permatemp lawsuit was won by the permatemps but lost by all future contractors in the entire state.
There are now laws setup so that after one year of working at the same company you must refrain from working there through any agency for three months. This covers everything from IT through every other contracting field.
The result is that instead of being a permatemp you are in fact a temp that has a 1 year life max and you are now interchangable with the contractor that comes to take your place.

My one biggest problem with the N-Gage was simply they way the oriented the screen, If you want to have any 3d/scroller games you want a horizontal screen. Haveing it be vertical just means that you can play galiga with more stacks of enemies.
It wasn't designed to be a game console, it was designed to be a phone. Thats where it failed. If your going to dual up a machine at least put some design workings into how your going to accomplish both functions. Everyone I talked to said they couldn't see themselves playing on this because there can't be that many decent games out that use such a small screen (save older arcade games and tetris)
Funny last time I looked at the box for Half Life 2 it said Windows PC Required. they're very up front about what you need to play the game the way they intended.
Last I herd iTunes didn't have a warning every time you buy a song that you can only play it on an iPod or CD player (with quality loss) if you wish to play a song on a place other then your computer.
I've been contracting for the past two years and that formula worked for me. My difference was that I work through an angency so I file W2 for my taxes. In that situation my formula works because they pay for my payroll taxes.
Also there is something to beware in Washington State. There is a law here due to a lawsuit against microsoft that as a contractor you may only work for a company for one year then they must let you go by law.
your annual pay is roughly ( Hourly * 2 ) * 1000 or if you prefer you can use the (( Hourly * 8 ) * 5) * 50 (expecting you take 2 weeks off for vaca./sick/holiday/etc.)
Example, if you make 15/hour then you pull in 30k/yr
In both instances your harmnig the user with these exploites (given hotmail/gmail's exploits). Also with the OS exploites. The users is harmed. Sure this indirectly harms MS but your still exposing the users of the product.
What this amounts to IMHO is that for some reason gmail users are more precious then hotmail users or that hotmail users diserve to be hacked becuause they are users of the service. Thats shows a rather large power trip issue on the part of the person reporting the exploit.
Just about every MS security hole that comes out has the exploit code attached. Sense google's not an "evil" company the exploit is kept secret? What is the reason that an Operating System Security Hole is given with code and a beta webmail service exploit isn't? IIRC: Wasn't hotmail's exploit also given with a snippit of code/instructions on how to do it? This is the same thing but with a different company.
I'm not trying to say "release the 'sploit" but I am saying that it does set a set of different standards for companies that offer the same service (e-mail over a web based interface). Why is it that one is realeased (and linked on slashdot iirc) and one is kept from prying eyes (Keep gmail safe)?
Since I live in a state where the democrats are not at risk of loosing I will definitely vote for Badnarik.
This is interesting. Under your statement, the only time you would vote for a thrid party is if the lesser of the two evils in your opinion is sure to win.
Isn't the true test of support for your party is that, in the case where the party that you do not want to win is winning you still stick by your canadate that matches your princables.
This seems to me to be why, under the current system, 3rd parties will not ever win.
Sorry to burst your bubble dude, but that patch only fixed the system's instance of GDI+ There are a ton of apps that have their own version of GDI+ built on their own app path. just because you use the patch that doesn't mean that its actually fixed.
Say your using app X that uses GDI+ to render its own image stuff (say its a picture album maker). It keeps its own version of GDI+ that the developers extended for their own reasons. This GDI+ is vonerable. After patching this older version of GDI+ is still on your system so that app is vonerable...

I'm honestly not for software piracy but this seems to pinch a nerv a bit.
We're filling up our jails with Pot users and Pirates. When does this start seeming to be a waste of taxpayer's money?
Looks like a way to reduce further tax revinue and increase costs to the (now fewer in number) tax payers.
Great job guys.

So buyer beware.

Honestly, if this is an issue then I'll take his place anytime.
