In this economy, forget the cover letter or the resume. It's who you know that gets you the job. When a former manager or peer goes to another company, that's when you have a chance of getting in there as well. HR is the biggest joke ever. The people that read your resume and interview you in HR usually don't know shit. Everybody knows it. Including HR.
True. However, I've even tried to release the IP from my router, turn everything off for the night and plug everything back in the next day, still got the same IP. I wonder if by default they sniff out your MAC address and try to assign you the IP you previously had. ???
I don't think *all* the O'Reilly books are good but the Python books (I own several) are really excellent: they are written by people that have been involved with the language for a long time and that really *think* in Python and like the language. Glad to see Python is still doing well.
yeah, I refused to accept the Flash 7.0 plug-in download and NOTHING showed up in my browser. Bitches!
Nissan, Ford, BMW, etc. must be very happy in their investment in this new *technology*...
Reminds me of the DRM for Windows that can be disabled by holding the SHIFT key.
or setup Apache as a proxy server and do the same thing for your entire household / LAN / whatever. You're absolutely right, this crap won't last for very long.
The color coding system is here so that Bush can CYA in front of the media when the next terrorist attack hits: "see, we told you it wasn't green".
It also allows Bush and Fox News to label anyone criticizing the system "weak on national security issues" and therefore "not presidential" for the next election.
Unfortunately, the postmodernists have attempted to apply their idiotic claptrap to science, claiming the existence of such absurd concepts as "alternative scientific truths".
religions have done just that for thousands of years... yet no one seems to complain.
I went to an AV store recently (a specialty store, not Circuit City) and the conversation went like this:
me: do you sell multi-zone DVD players? guy: no Sir, they're illegal in this country. (U.S.) me: well, I'm surprised, some companies sell them on their website guy: well, you can buy illegal drugs on the internet, Sir. me: but they're companies in the U.S., one website said the company was based in Illinois. guy: Even if it was legal, we wouldn't sell them. It hurts our economy. The movie people in Hollywood need that system to protect our movies. me: protect them from what? guy: piracy me: but I'm trying to watch zone 2 movies that I legally purchased in Europe recently. guy: I don't know about that...
And then I walked out. This is still the perception out there.
May be if Blockbuster calls for change it'll make a difference.
You're dead on: it's called Bill O'Reilly / FOX News reporting. Take a self-proclaimed expert and start making a lot of noise. Take a talk show and masquerade it as NEWS. Pretty soon the public won't know the difference. Make sure you label it 'Fair and balanced'. Make sure you intimidate the guests that disagree. 'Mac elite'... Did Ann Coulter help him write this crap? Why not call Steve Jobs a communist while we're at it?
Well, well. Can you say Microsoft wants to have its cake and eat it too? A few weeks ago, it was the W3C no less that was coming to the rescue of Microsoft, yet today they apply for a patent that sounds just as ridiculous. It's time for this whole software patent mess to stop.

Just curious.
yeah, I think it is. :)
true, but from my house, I can see 4 other wireless bubbles... none of which has WEP enabled mind you. :)
(OK, they could be firewalled by MAC address, I didn't try it).

"Judge, one of my neighbours grabbed an IP from my wireless router and was using KaZaa, not me, I swear..."
how are they going to address that???
DHCP seems to hand off the IP you previously had by default. At least with TimeWarner.
that receptionist should have subscribed from her house. maybe her boss was tired of the company financing her daily chuckle.

Thanks Mr Ridge, may I have another?
OK Osama, take off your mask!

so who are the 6 between Dubya and Bin Laden?
K. Richards best put it to Mick Jagger [who also got knighted recently]: "If you're into this shit, hang on for the peerage. Don't settle for a little badge.".
Rock on Keith!
Wal-Mart, a great company.

agree, basically they're trolling.

3 names that evoke freedom, innovation and the interest of the consummer. ah, we feel so much better now.

Exactly. Expect the Bush whitehouse spin machine to kick in anytime soon.
Frankly, this is good news. Look at what happened to alcohol. They might outlaw filesharing for a while, but it the end we'll win.
Private FTP servers = the new speakeasies?
Cheers, mate!
