Huh? "Caching model"? Google already has a snapshot of the page. It has to, in order for you to search its results, yes? I always wished that search engines would provide me with the ability to just show me what they had. It's one of the reasons Google is so resoundingly good.
To some extent the Google cache threatens the ability of a site operator to gauge the site's popularity
Oh, for Pete's sake...you must be a web designer. You know, customers needs are more important than webdorks' needs. Webdorks are not google's customers.
Otherwise, webmasters are going to become tempted to disable caching of their content to avoid lost page hits and ad revenue
Sure, go ahead. You'll pay more in bandwidth, and evidently money is the only point of the internet's existence.
It's almost like a content-syndication feature, rather than a pure search-engine feature
Buzzword alert! Buzzword alert! Danger! Danger!
Yaknow, there's more to life than pleasing web dorks at every possible turn. They tend to forget that, due to the ability to design they have.
So, due to the fact that Compaq is not a person, Compaq cannot appear in court. You win by default judgement! Damn, I should have thought of this years ago.
Small Claims Court? Sure, give Compaq notice that you're suing them, and see if you don't end up paying their lawyers $400/hr for their time to kick your ass after you lose the suit and are forced to pay opposing side's legal fees.
Used to be sterling support? There never was sterling support, anywhere. Small, hungry companies might go out of their way to please their few customers but the bigger companies haven't changed their practices in decades...hmm maybe that's why they're the big companies.
Uh, Napoleon *did* lose the battle at Waterloo...and spent the rest of his life in prison. As the saying goes, they named a dessert after Napoleon, and a main course after the British general who got the credit for beating him. Don't know of any dishes named Blucher, though.
I advocate preparing a bunch of trick questions in advance. The answers you expect don't have to be particularly accurate, indeed they can be downright wrong. What's important is not to test the basic skills of the interviewee, but to fellate the ego of the interviewer by demonstrating superior knowledge of inane trivia like obscure, special-purpose cisco patches.
At least, that's what I've come out of interviews thinking.
I can't be too sad that a MIDI program died...I hate MIDI music. I especially hate web pages that play.mid files...it's one of my most-hated web designer screwups, right up there along with the tag and directing people whose User-Agent does not match "MSIE" to a "sorry, use Microsoft" error page.
One of my Chinese co-workers has a collection of MIDI tunes he likes to play from time to time. I'm telling you, you haven't lived until you've listened to "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On Your Head" as a MIDI tune, 20 times in the course of one day.
Yeah, right...I'm sure the FTC will just jump at the chance to get involved. Here's a clue: federal agencies are difficult to deal with at the best of times, and most of the time will tell you they won't follow up your complaints. Feel free to try, though.
The dark side of the moon is the side of the moon that faces permenantly away from Earth. It's considered 'dark' in the sense of knowledge rather than sunlight.
Yeah, it was working earlier today, but when I just checked, I got a directory listing when I went to the main page. They're definitely having problems.
That's one of the things I like about Solaris 9 beta...you can't just "burn ISO and install". You have to have an install server set up, which few linux dweebs have. You also must download almost two gigs of data for the install images. It does wonders for keeping the stupid questions about the x86 version of Solaris 9 to a blessed minimum.
Yah, I noticed that the beta Solaris 9 didn't include GNOME *or* OpenWindows. It's nice that OW is finally deprecated, but I expected to see GNOME alongside faithful CDE.
An aside to you CDE-haters: it's not how pretty the desktop is, it's all about the function. CDE stands for "Common Desktop Interface", and it's true that one can go from a Sun to an HP to an IRIX box, and, using CDE, be productive on each platform. I've been there.
Does this ximian version include both SPARC and i386pc pre-packaged binaries, in pkgadd format, with dependencies properly laid out?
And the golf ball thing...only use that expression in a positive sense. As in, "sure, that girl I went home with last night was a bit chubby, but boy could she suck a golf ball through a garden hose".

Isn't this creeping featuritis? All I want for Christmas is Mozilla 1.0...
Lots of people choose not to see anonymous posts, no matter how high the score. It's one of the new options.

Lemme guess, this guy buys a Dell because they are the cheapest out there...and bitches because they suck? Hel-lo?
P.S. that experience you had with repair...it's known as "normal". It's not exceptional when a company lives up to its promises (okay, maybe it is).

Jesus, your first linux GUI was KDE? Mine was mc.
Wow, you're psychic! I do hate 75-95% of all music produced today!
Damn, it did it again...slashdot really REALLY doesn't like anyone even suggesting the word BLINK surrounded by angle brackets.
Hey, slashdot stripped out my tag comment.

He hits the nail squarely on the head. This is the reason for exposing security vulnerabilities.
Or so I've heard.
