Personally, I think IBM should be commended. Their developerworks articles are usually of good quality, easy to find, well thought out, timely, and free. When I'm searching for some tech topic (specifically implementation instructions/tutorials) with Google if anything from IBM shows up, that's the first place I'll go. Just the other day I used their ssh keychain piece when I was working on setting that up.
I just wish more companies would follow there lead and provide something of value.
I'm not quite sure why this is flamebait. The iPod has surpassed other MP3 players largely because Apple has been able to position it well, turning it into a status symbol.
It is a quality product, but look at Bose speakers. Marketing goes a long way.
But of course they'll sell you the ticket for a dollar. It's the $4.50 "convenience" charge, the $2 order processing charge, and the $4 e-mail ticket delivery charge that are going to get you.
This is exactly why my $40 Preakness ticket came out to be $50.50 after Ticketmaster got a hold of it.
They should invest in some lube, skip the auction software.
I'm in the same boat as well, and the worse part as I see it is that I even go so far as to publish an SPF record that is totally useless in stopping the abuse of my addresses.
When more projects are written in a language, that usually leads to documentation, language help, and example code being much easier to come by.
A google search for "php tutorial" returns 73,700,000 results and a search for "c tutorial" returns 92,900,000 results, whereas a google search for "ruby on rails tutorial" returns just 2,390,000 results.
In my experience over the last few days, php and c/c++ documentation (not just the api's, but actual usage and example code) is vastly easier to find than rails stuff. This does make some difference in the usability of the language until you are fully up to speed.
Private enterprise doesn't see the value of sinking that much money into wiring areas that won't be able to pay for the cost. It works in Sweden because it isn't up to private enterprise to build the communications infrastructure.
I really don't feel like paying to have everyone in the country wired, and I also don't feel like paying to subsidise anyone elses internet connection.
I guess you are right, it is greed-based. It isn't in the best interest of private companies to piss away millions upon millions of dollars to run fiber to remote locations or into the ghetto to service a few people that may not want, be able to pay for, or need the service, when they can wire up wealthy neighborhoods with high population densities, and even that's getting to be a hard sell for the investors.
I just did exactly what you're thinking of. I got a Nextel that is essentially indistructable, no camera, with 6 hours of talk time and ten days of standby.
I want the phone to last forever between charges. I really don't care about any other features.
They're not buying a website. They're buying the eyeballs of most every (especially the trend setters) college student in America upwards of twenty times a day. I'd buy stock in Facebook if it was available, that site isn't going anywhere.
You obviously aren't in college. Facebook is a marketers wet dream. One of the hardest demographics to reach hits that site literally 20 times a day. And that includes everyone, especially the trend setting popular kids (who are often the most addicted).

My chipped NA XBOX attached to an NTSC TV has no problem playing PAL import games. I don't see why the PS3 would present a problem.
Have you ever considered that the whole star wars thing may have been a well constructed bluff. You publicly announce that you're going to develop a system to shoot down all incoming projectiles from space at significant cost. Russians attempt to counter, engineering does cost analysis. Informs leadership system will cost $x (anything is possible, it's just a matter of money). Leadership realises they don't have $x. Leadership is drowning in self-doubt. Victory is no longer on the table. Bluffing the soviets into stepping down was probably worth the money.
And there is nothing to say that the star wars program, or another complimentary program doesn't exist today. Military spending, planning, and research is kind of like a giant game of poker. You don't want to be the asshole that is constantly showing his hand, that may lead to somebody else developing the stealth technology you've had sitting in a hanger for the last 15 years, or the technology to shoot it down.
And in case you missed it, there have been a hell of a lot of wars fought throughout history, and a hell of a lot of arab nations aren't too found of the United States. You may not like it, but we really were attacked by Japan, we really did go to war against Germany, and the Soviet Union was a real credible threat. Everybody isn't gonna just start getting along, it doesn't make a bit of sense not to protect ourselves.
Unemployment hasn't been this low since July of 2001, the average hourly wage is at an all time high of $16.41, and the CPI has also been falling. The economy is strengthening. More people are working and making more money than ever, and stuff costs less money.
Have you ever actually worked with a foreign oursourcer. They are, in general, far less competent than an American in an equal position. This could be attributed to a variety of things, including the language barrier.
To successfully outsource, you still need the American staff to review everything that the outsourcers are doing, and to ensure that language troubles aren't causing massive logic errors.
Fast, good, or cheap really doesn't apply to outsourcers. They are only cheap. To get fast or good too, they have to be coupled with competent people over here. Outsourcers are a lot like interns, you can hire tons of interns for cheap, but it's obviously a poor business decision to just hire interns.
Perhaps they won't be able to afford it for long. The average person in India makes $500/year. That isn't very much oil, under 350 gallons at $60/barrel. By comparison, it takes 780 gallons a year to put 15 gallons in a car every week.
The poor and homeless will do the same thing they do now. Their jobs aren't lucrative enough to be outsourced. As far as people not being born into circumstance to receive an education, everyone in America has access to the public school system, not saying it's good, but it is there. Further, if you do have negative circumstances to overcome to go to college, the aid is there, all it takes is an once of motivation. Middle class white males have the fewest number of available scholarship opportunities.
The middle class will be promoted to managing teams of outsourcers from countries like India and China, while upper managment will be able to leverage the extra manpower to grow into large multinational corporations. The middle class isn't disappearing, it is shifting to accommodate a larger world. And fortunately, it seems that America is the natural base of operations for many such companies, allowing our middle class to shift upward.
As far as income disparity, it shouldn't be that massive of a problem. There are people born in the upper class that aren't successful and lose everything, and there are poor people that put forth the effort to get an education, go to college, and get a good job. It isn't impossible. The solution certainly isn't regulation or wealth redistribution.
War is actually good for this kind of problem. It creates room for lots of professional soldiers and support staff. These jobs ultimately end in the upper middle class, providing lots of discipline and training. The skills learned in the military, coupled with early retirement and a pension, can parlay into very well paying jobs in later life. Further, defense spending stays in the United States and goes to the American middle class, employed by defense contractors. War isn't hurting the economy, unemployment hasn't been this low since July of 2001, the average hourly wage is at an all time high of $16.41, and the CPI has also been falling. The economy is strengthening, and will likely continue to well into the next presidency.
Slutty Sue is in the risk group. She is likely to have slept with bisexual males and/or injection drug users. However, catching anything from her is still pretty unlikely unless open wounds already exist (anal sex is a good transmitter because of the tearing). If you know you're sleeping with a slut, wrap it up. Herpes isn't fun, and neither is the clap.

Perhaps that is the problem. Thank you for the tip, I believe when I initially set it up I did configure for softfail.
So it seems as though the SPF record isn't totally useless. It just doesn't entirely prevent the problem.

You forgot "outside of the United States". Wasn't the whole idea to get terrorism out of this country.

If they released a version of OS X I could install on my PC right now, today, I would go buy it at full price immediately.
Somebody must see at least three quarters of a billion dollars worth of oppurtunity there. They're buying an audience, not a website.
