Good advice. I didn't feel like he had a legal leg to stand on, but still it freaks me out to be threatened like that. It was a bad situation, and I'm glad to be out of there.
I left a company, my former boss contacts me via email and asks for a login and pword for a server, and I gave it to him.
Later that week he emails me again asking for another server, which I did not know the pword to. I suggested that if they wanted me to keep working with them, it would have to be on 1099-MISC forms.
Later the CEO started threatening with extortion charges and threatening to sue me.
Did the company have any legal grounds? Was it right for me to keep working for free?
I'm glad to see Microsoft is endeavouring into something that actually retains it data. As my Pocket PC likes to lock up and periodically reboot itself. I can't keep data on there.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with Yahoo's new search. It returned relavent results, and a little to my surprise that were different that what Google offered.
In the long run competition is good, and I hope that we yield the benefits from having two good search engines. Although, I'm still apprehensive about Yahoo's "paid inclusion." Which seems to offer misleading results to the Internet novice.
So if we finally come up with a viable alternative to oil/fossil fuels, and the inventor is not mysteriuosly dispensed by the Oil companies, can we finally pull out of the Middle East and all affairs surrounding the Middle East?
Apple almost succeeded with the iPod (and may yet with their partnership with HP), if it were priced in the general consumer range.
However, what good will the Apple IIe commands do me in using an iPod?
I'm a little bitter, I wasted so much time learning Apple programming/commands. I drank the Kool-Aid Apple was serving and never thought different. When I turned 14, and realised that all my friends were using PCs, I had a lot of catching up to do.
It was because of DOS that I made an easy transition to *nix, not because of Oregon Trail on an Apple IIe or word processing on a Macintosh.
I meet a lot ppl in my age group that claim to have been really good with computers back in high school (using Apples), but are completely lost when you give them a flashing cursor at a command prompt or are asked to ctrl+alt+dlt to login.
So despite MS's and Apple's attempt to seed the market with skills, it is ultimately the market that determines the skills required to succeed.
I wish someone would sue a Linux distro, so Linux could be given to schools in lieu of being fined. Give the students some universally useful computer skills.
"Clearly the best solution to an operating system monopoly is to give free copies of windows to school and eliminate the competition as early in the education process as possible."
You know, I remember all through school (k-12) we were forced to use Apple products of varying models. Since then, I have never used an Apple, and all the forced Apple knowledge was wasted.
Episode III is coming, it is going to make Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox a lot of money. Lucas is going to do things his way. Star Wars fans will go see it. These are the four facts we cannot do anything about.
However, I make an open appeal to all Star Wars fans. Don't see this film until the second week.
This accomplishes two things:
1. If we can deny Lucas the #1 release spot, his Distributors and the Executives are going to take a second look of Lucas' carte blanche.
2. If we can deny Lucas the #1 release spot, we will voice our opinion in a way that even Lucas cannot deny.
I'm not advocating a complete boycott, we sat through Episodes I and II, we've earned the right of seeing the closure of the first act. But when we spend our money, do it in a way that Lucas, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox will actually notice.
Don't see Episode III until the second week of release.
You're assuming that this is a professional organisation, which it is not.
I mean really, do you have any idea what is said between a prospective employer and a former one? You can't ever know. There are many things ppl aren't supposed to do, but still do. I know there are laws protecting ppl, but that doesn't stop unprofessionalism or blatant disregard for the law.
I didn't say it was bad, just underpowered, missing the other 4 pipelines just kills the performance (verify here: http://www.anandtech.com/ or here: tomshardware.com). Modding your card is an expensive venture if you fail.
My best advice is pick up the R9600 XT, for the same price as R9800 SE, comparable performance and best of all you get that HL2 voucher. What a deal!
It's tough moving away from a former employer. I recently left a position to pursue better opportunities. My former employer (really the owner) was furious that I had the gaul to leave. They threatened me with lawsuites, they harrased me. They just couldn't let go.
I gave that company three long hard years, and developed some absolutely killer applications for them. Now, if an prospective employer calls them, they make me out to be some malicious, spiteful Developer who left them high and dry. Three years of stellar work... down the drain.
With that said, I guess the best advice is that employment is like a marriage, you need to check them out, just as much as they do you. Else your left with stigma of the former employer, either you on them, or them on you. Either case, it's not good.
Tom's said they wanted to use a AMD 64, but couldn't because of stability issues with the mobo, but said they would update the benchmarks with the AMD results when the problem was resolved.
You do of course realise that Bizrate's prices are near realtime, whereas Tom's Hardware uses the prices at the time of publish.
Be careful before you start accusing ppl of not checking their facts.
Remember realtime is different that publish time.
Most likely, you have the Radeon 9800 SE, which is grossly underpowered-marketing-named-it-to-cause-confusion video card. There is however, a real Radeon 9800, built only by ATI, which was never priced below $200. The real Radeon 9800 was killed by ATI because it presented too much threat to their Pro lines.
The Radeon 9800 SE is priced in the $120 - $160 range.

I'm guessing this means it's going to still crash, right?

So if we finally come up with a viable alternative to oil/fossil fuels, and the inventor is not mysteriuosly dispensed by the Oil companies, can we finally pull out of the Middle East and all affairs surrounding the Middle East?
That'll get my vote in heartbeat.
Finally, I can be the one outsourcing to off shore development centers, and getting richer.
Yes, this is a joke.
It sounds like I'm headed in the right direction. Thankfully, I'm not unemployed, but that means I can only work on building my business part time.
I'm hosting my server at home. Refining my software daily.
The biggest leap I'm having is making the customer connnection. How do I attract customers?
I'm very interested in starting a company. I have a couple pieces of software already to go, but where and how do I land the investors?

When did a weblog become fact? I understand they had scanned documents, but I just get very nervous about allowing blogs to become sources of fact.

D'oh, sorry Parhelia. And the Matrox PARHELIA hit the market in June, 2002.
Tom's said they wanted to use a AMD 64, but couldn't because of stability issues with the mobo, but said they would update the benchmarks with the AMD results when the problem was resolved.

Um, the Prahelia is no newcomer it's been on the market for well over a year.
