Since shareholders care only for profits and increased share value, companies as entities must continue to do whatever it takes, including evil acts, in order to provide those increases. Eventually no matter how well intentioned a company starts off, the pressure to profit will force someone in the corporate structure to act to protect their job and will do something evil to survive within the company. Once others see that this tactic works, the obvious action is to copy the evil doer in order to also survive inside the company. Eventually the company becomes evil from the inside out, through what insiders see as a natural protection of the company as an entity and their jobs specifically.
You do realize that this website resides in the United States. Odd as it may be we already had a sport called Football, or maybe we're just jerks. Either way, you know what we mean when we say Soccer and we have no idea what you mean when you say Football.
Ideally there would be some way to day it with a French accent and then we'd know immediately that you means Soccer or Round Ball, or whatever we'd end up calling it. Hey, keep calling it Football. I mean it works for you.
If Bill uses the same business practices he's perfected at Microsoft in the Philanthropic realm then his dominance of public works and charities will be assured within 5 years. The United Way, March of Dimes, and World Health Organization will all be bought out and combined. Any charitable initiative will be instantly bought up and integrated into the one true charity...
I fear for the poor and destitute. You have no idea what is about to be unleashed upon you. Bill no wants to control those who can't afford computers.
If you've looked at any statistics you can see that no one has ever cracked into a Vista Server. Ever. It's amazing. In fact, and the numbers don't lie here, there has never been a public patch for security reasons.
He's got a name and he should get some stuff up on iTunes and get the full money for the downloads. Why waste time and effort with the CDs when he could make bank just distributing without the middle man!?
On one side you have creative -- these guys design the page you're going to have to code. On the other side you have back end -- these guys are going to connect what you made to the servers.
There is a constant friction between these two sides. Creative wants gradiants! But you have to explain they take up too much bandwidth. Back end wants you to use ASP.net but your client uses PHP. Back-end want a user flow Information Architecture, Creative gives them three photoshop files and two paragraph word document.
It's your job to speak both languages and translate.
CNet must have some kind of giant dart board for connecting the most rediculous ideas. I imagine it's 3 foot by 3 foot and has the buzzwords in various sizes. The Editor dialogue goes like this:
Editor: Bob, you got that piece for Friday yet? Bob: Oh shit... hold on, I just have one more frag and I'm in first. Editor: Ok, when your done with that come see me at the dart board.
{three minutes later}
Bob: Dude, I totally owned that round. Editor: Nice! Bob: Ok, let me get the darts. First up we got...
{tosses dart}
Editor: APPLE! Nice. Bob: Ok, second dart...
{tosses dart}
Editor: WTF. You hit Nintendo. Bob: Do-over.
{tosses dart again}
Editor: Jesus! Nintendo again. Ok man, you can't mess with Karma. The board has spoken. Bob: Fuck! I'm going to have to Google up something about Apple and gaming.
{two hours later}
Editor: Got that Friday piece on Apple and Nintendo. Bob: Oh yeah! Get this: Apple to Buy Nintendo! Editor: Fucking brilliant... OK, I got to get back to my CTF game.
PHP is, for better or worse, easy for both coders and designers.
That means if you are a coder you can create pages with PHP that output from script.
But if you a designer you sprinkle PHP into your HTML where you need dynamic content.
If you are truely trying to keep content and design seperate, then you need to create templates (that designers build) that PHP calls forth and populates with content.
Geeze guys, he's giving money away and you report it all wrong. You ask for an auto-graph and he *pays you*. Honestly, who would want his autograph for any other reason.
* If you are using pines search function, you don't know enough about grep and your mail folder. * Any place with a browser is now a place with putty, if I want to read my mail. * Archive? I have procmail doing that much better than GMail ever could. * I get to use my own domain name. * Holding down the D key in pine feels really good.
1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex. 2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry. 3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
4. Given to social pleasures.
5. Dissolute; licentious.
Unfortunately I only know what I've experienced. In this particular case I've experienced Linux servers working reliably and Windows servers not. This kind of empirical data is, of course, suspect. It could easily have been the other way around, due to hardware/admin/configs...
You are right, at the end of the day you pick the best solution for the job. The problem tends to come when you only know a limited number of solutions. "When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."
The next security hole found in MS's server will open up thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of machines to control by bot owners. GoDaddy just became bot heaven. The GoDaddy DOS(tm) attack would be truely monsterous.
I'd say the ssh client on it kicks major butt. Had to configure sshd to accept the protocal but after that it was like using unix from 20 years ago... nice and slow... every keystroke a thing of beauty as the commands were only two or three characters each. I can even read my mail in PINE {sniff snif}.... now I'm all weepy... thanks...
I did have one company google me, but when they realized I played CoreWars I got hired almost immediately. Go figure. My currently URL would probably get my resume thrown out the door faster than my Redcode was eaten off the KOTH competitions for corewars.

My name is on the No Fly list. I wont be trying this. I show ID and I still get put in that same line he went through.

Were they trying to take down Neo?
No, I'm fine.

I don't hate GMail, but PINE rules.
Thanks Bill, but you can just use your normal handle here. We know you read Slashdot.
but he's not exactly Darth Vader, y'know..
No, Darth Vader had a son.
They aren't! They mean this:
1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
4. Given to social pleasures.
5. Dissolute; licentious.
I wonder if I get like fifty of these and point them all at the guy next door that stole my toolbox if I could get ... um... his wife.
You should be using CRYSTAL PRINCESS PONIES.
Geez, didn't you guys do ANY research?
they can only replicate inside other living cells.
then what do you call us? We can only replicate at gamer and star trek conventions.

I find that I trust Linux for long term up time more than I do for windows.
If you believe this, I have great waterfront property in Florida I'd be willing to let you have. Cheap.
How much? Do I just buy it through Go Daddy?
I have a php on linux package there... are they moving away from these? Because if they are their going to lose my business.
