So, this is pretty crappy if it's true. I can understand the BB employees putting a free CD in your bag. I can understand them scanning it for inventory purposes. but to then charge a monthly fee? that's ridiculous. someone will be fired for that stunt.
when you compare to the correct language structure, so what? What's important is PHB's will probably be reading articles like that, and will point to said articles in justifying going with a microsoft centric language (along with IEEE, ECMA standardization, etc.) The article simply underscores that a wide and varied skillset is what's going to keep a developer alive in today's environment. Sun's not exhibiting the best of business decisions lately, and if they want to stay afloat, they need to come up with someone to answer.Net effectively in popular media. Posting articles on slashdot saying "look at this! it's not accurate!" isn't a great way to promulgate usage of your favorite language either...
I should be allowed to send mail from my own connection and not have to worry about my isp crapping out on me (which happens, from time to time). if I run it from my own place, I know whether the mail server is fscked up or not.
A friend of mine at the University of Houston actually had one of his first CS classes done in Visual Basic. I was flabbergasted. Admittedly, U of H is not a top tier school, but surely they have standards?
The site is fairly sparse. I bet a google search would turn up many more hits than anything on this site.
Cheaper on linux-screws - not eval

Review of SuSE 8.2
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
sorry for the shameless plug. Linux Screws is about to launch. SuSE 8.2 will be available there for 9.95 plus shipping. this will be the full version, not the live eval, because with all of the distributions they provide, the customer will actually only be paying for a computer screw. The linux distribution would be provided free of charge.
assuming this had passed, how on earth would they be able to determine whether the mp3s were legal or not? I have about 3 gigs of mp3s on my computer, every one of them legal and fair. sounds to me if an RIAA representative randomly deleted my mp3 directory I'd have a tidy little lawsuit on my hands. IANAL (yet)
I used to work in a call center for my school. we were outsourced to one of the larger fundraising organizations in the US. We did have an autodialler of sorts, but the determination of whether a number was bad, disconnected, busy, etc. was made by us. you clicked a choice on your screen. (most) people are a little smarter than the telezapper

the conference is in vegas...That'll make the bill just a little bit more than 250

That's not a bug. it's a feature. the product was originally called the iPop. some dyslexic guy in the marketing department screwed it all up though.
maybe they should have used a worm to penetrate the apple..
It's seen an unexpectedly wide adoption since 1983? If it takes that long to get unexpected adoption. how long does a slow rollout take?
