You need more than basic arithmetic to do quantitative research for any financial firm. I can tell you from personal experience that hedge funds hire Math PhDs and Masters.
I've dealt with both Siebel and Oracle as a system implementor and someone using their tech support. Oracle's support is better.
Siebel is notorious for asking your for more and more data until you reach the point of diminishing returns and just give up. We had to find so many work arounds to Siebel bugs I knew more than some Siebel product managers.
This will help Siebel customers because the code will improve, cost less, and support more platforms. Plus the Siebel applications will be able to compete with Salesforce.com now.
Only harder and less user-friendly. I'm sure for java programmers this seems easy. My typical audience is Excel users who know practically nothing about programming.

Too bad DNS does have the ability to offer different caches for positive vs. negative pools. The the hit rate for positives wouldn't be affected by negatives.
DBs allow a DBA to define different memory areas for different tables/structures/etc so why not DNS?
Automatic recording and time-shifting is must have. e.g. I want to watch hockey games from the east coast (Leafs) but they show at 4pm on NHL CenterIce.

I would add that an employee working from home still explicitly costs the company 2x the salary due to benefits, workers comp, 401k, etc. An outsourced position explicitly costs the company only what the negotiated price is.
This says nothing about the implicit costs of extra communications, time delays, etc arising from an outsourced person.

This is offtopic but I'm really curious how you changed the explorer default from the home directory to C:\.
How did you do this?
Unless I missed something the bandwidth savings translate into a saving for SlashDot of a whole $4K. And some people even called that a whopping saving.
Wow! From a business justification perspective this would get laughed out of any room.
For a site like slashdot that serves 50M pages I know exactly why they didn't change, it costs too much people time to save so little money. The internal costs far far outweight the external costs.
But hey, maybe I missed something it the calculation...

Java is dying. Java isn't good for client-server applications, it isn't good for embedded applications.
Its too slow and too big. Every java application requires its own JRE version because Sun doesn't understand backward compatability. Every try running two different JVMs on the same server? its a killer on memory.
Microsoft on the other hand does understand backward compatability with their OS and Language layers (Office is different though).
A tip I use when trying to "get started".
Think not of how much pain it might be to begin but think of the joy you'll feel when its done.
Remember all those times then you finished something that was nagging and how awesome it felt afterwards.
Its small but it helps.

Resonate....
What a poor excuse for a load-balancer! Every time we even thought about changing Siebel we had to get a patch for Resonate.
Want to upgrade to Win2K? No problem, here is a patch for resonate. Want to add another node? No problem, here is a patch for resonate.
Mind you, we had to endure 2-7 weeks of tech support before they finally admitted to a patch.

Try this yourself.
1) Create a standard (RFC 1738, 3.10) URL like file://filesrvr/share/readme.txt.
2)Use Netscape to follow the link.

Isn't it more like?

Now: 12oz Small, 20oz Medium, 32oz Large a.k.a. super-size
It seems that way at McD's, Carl's, and Jack's.
How is this different from the approach taken with Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI)?

Well at least the manufactures didn't relabel SCSI as SCSI2 "full speed".
