A good way to prevent spamming is to use javascript to generate your address. So rather then writing "me@wherever.tld" you write <script>
document.write("me");
document.write("@");
document.write("wherever");
document.write(".tld");
</script>
These fucking spammers. Fucking DMA preventing tough anti-spam laws. I don't know about you, but I never buy anything from telemarketers and I'm more likely to just throw out any physical mail advertisements, after hitting the 'delete' button so many times.
The guy at sun in charge of this stuff is an Indian and he said that sun prefers Indians to Americans. If that's true then it's racism and totally illegal.
The other issue is that sun is subverting the H1-B program by hiring H1-Bs at lower cost then american workers, which is also illegal, by H1-B.
Fasion models don't count as "specialty occupations", but rather the law applies to both people in specialty occupations and fashion models!
h1-B says:
in a specialty occupation described in section 214(i)(1) or as a fashion model, who meets the requirements for the occupation specified in section 214(i)(2) or, in the case of a fashion model, is of distinguished merit and ability,... or (c) who is coming temporarily to the United States to perform services as a registered nurse,...212(m)(1)
214(i)(1), which defines 'specialty occupations' says the following:
(i)(1) For purposes of section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) and paragraph (2), the term "specialty occupation" means an occupation that requires-
(A) theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, and
(B) attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States.
Good thing the federal government took time to consider the plight of fashion models.
This seems to be more about blatant racism then immigration issues. I mean, the cofounder is Indian and said that sun favors Indians. That's totally illegal under US law.
On the other hand, it does make some sense 'protect' H1-B visa holders from being fired, since they would then need to find another job or leave the country, while americans can just go on unemployment for a while.
Well, in order to use the API you need to register, and you can only run a few hundred queries a day. If you want to run a site that links to it, you'll need to pay.
I'm sure this is something they've already thought of, and can prevent.
Literacy rates and Infant mortality aren't any higher here then any other first world nation. If we have a lot of people 'below' the 'poverty line' it's only because our standards are so high that people who would be well off in other places in the world are considered poor.
won't presume to speak for you, but as for me, I'm not prepared to do that. As a citizen of a Western nation in a capitalist economy, I was born into the top 15% of the planetary socioeconomic pyramid. I like it here. I'm staying here.
It's not your choice. And it's certainly not your right. Your sense of entitlement is sickening.
Obviously you are diffrent then the person who you were a few years ago. But that's not the point, the point is that both 'copies' would diverge. One copy would be immortal and digital, and the other would not. The moral one would still occupy the physical body, and feel jipped.
If we do, would brain implants of the future force some people to remember things they would rather forget?
What kind of question is this? last I checked, you can't just 'forget' things you don't want to remember.
OTOH, with this device it would be possible to 'turn off' the ability to create new memories. You could murder someone, and completely forget that you did... (of course, you would still remember wanting to kill someone, and that they were dead...)

It works pretty well, I've found.
Well, when I set my spam-filters to exclusive I didn't get a single peice of email. of course I didn't have anyone in my address book.

If I think that it's wrong for Sun to 'prefer' people because of their race (Indian) that does not make me a racist. Quite the opposite, really.

Would you rather pay someone $240 a day for 10 hours of work, or $4 for two people to put in 16 hours of work a day?

Some of them are these days (wow! talk about low yield wafers!)
I doubt its that bad, since a camera can deal with a sparkling of 'dead' sensors, while pretty much any defect will kill a CPU.
The most obvious thing was the lack of radiosity rendering, which is of course encredibly expensive.
But if you know how 3d rendering works it's easy to see whats missing, and what was done wrong.
81.3.6.2 What a strange IP.
It's also quite slashdotted.

If you don't let other people download, you're just taking. Not sharing : P
It's called Mercantilism. Leave it to Bush II to gamble the whole US economy on centuries old discredited economic theories...

The going rate for an Indian programmer is about $8-$9/hr. You'll note the US minimum wage is $5.50/hr.
No one is paying programmers $1/hr.
Build the whole thing out of one huge industrial diamond.

But that's because humans don't have souls either. Duh.

What an ugly website!
I mean reall, this page (mozillaquest) looks like it was designed by a blind monkey.
This is all Microsoft's fault. If they hadn't made XENIX, and then gave up on and sold it (or whatever) to SCO we wouldn't be in this mess!
:P
It's all microsofts fault!
Disables file sharing, hrm. Sounds like something the RIAA would like. It could cut down on collage campus shares and stuff.
I would assume that 'animated' would require pure animation with no physical reality to the stuff whatsoever.
In the end, though, it'll probably just be intent that matters.
