A contract? Interesting. I dont recall seeing the specific terms of this "contract". Nope, just went through my dish network contract, no reference to commercials. Paying for content. Don't have a contract with aol/tw/turner.
Our logs show google spiders visiting at least 2x a week. They crawl for about 10-15 minutes each visit. Takes about 2-3 weeks for the updates to hit the indexes though, which still isn't bad.
The reason that AMDs seem to do "poorly" in business, is that the examples used to prove this point show mass produced systems that are faulty anyway. The same could be said of celerons (if you based your information on Hewlette Packard Celeron boxes.) The athlon systems work great, if you put it together with a quality motherboard, and memory. If your goal is a "cheap" system, then an athlon (or any system) will run poorly. mhop
That all being said...
As much as slashdotters hate lawyers...
And most politicians...
Maybe we should learn how to use them...
Use the laws in place. Sue them for the costs associated with spam. Sue them when they break the laws that exist to protect consumers. Whether it is spam, telemarketers, or Best Buys. Stiff it to them. Out smart them. After all, arent we geeks and nerds? By the world's definition arent we all supposed to be smarter, or a step above average person?
I had it out on the phone with a "gentlemen" yesterday afternoon over the "do not call me".
One of his employees, for the 3rd or 4rth time this week, rang ALL my potts lines, hanging up before we could answer them. Then when we managed to answer, asked for me. My wife said "he isn't available". So he talked to her about our being homeowners (we arent) and how his company (no good bastard telemarkters) can make us a deal on a new home or upgrades. She said she was not only not interested in doing business with him, she didnt want to be called again, and wanted on a no call list. She asked for his name, his phone number (at which point he hung up)...
Got to love caller id. Got the name, checked the website, called up and asked to speak to the owner.
I got David Parton on the line, who informed me that if I didnt want him to call me, that I should be put on the worthless GA No Call List. I informed him that pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 227. that the burden of compliance was on him and not on me. After being handled rudely, unprofessionally by the original caller, the founder had the nerve to DEFEND his people, their proceedures, and his attitudes.
Why do I say the GA No Call List is worthless? It is the LINE OWNERS who have to pay to be on the list! $5 per line for 2 years. I now have to pay to NOT have my dinner rudely interupted by an annoyingunprofessional telemarketer who doesnt even have his "market" correct?
Sure, why not. I have to manage the loads of spam that comes through our company mail servers. I have to pay for the storage, the transport and processing of this junk. Why shouldnt I have to pay for telemarketers also?
The use of "marketers" in regards to spammers and "telemarketers" has been used loosly. As their shotgun methods of product placement doesnt match nearly anything taught in a true marketing course.

It doesnt matter to the story either way, but in your ethnic slurs, you should be most accurate.

You know, I was wonder how to spend this fine Wednesday evening. I believe the 30 minute drive to Tucker would be time well spent...
Top 10 things to do before shopping at a Best Buys:
10. Put on your running shoes. 9. Contact a bail bondsman 8. Change the batteries in your mini recorder. 7. Program your attorney's phone number into cell phone 6. Change your underwear (it gets nasty after a weekend in jail) 5. Practice being white
He was under the care of a psychologist? Did the psychologist fail to see that this gent was a danger to himself? Sue the doctor too. Lets sue them all. Its all about the $$$$ baby!
Exactly. You want my business, you block the spam, real simple concept. Our company has a HUGE investment in Nextel phones. This crap starts bothering our staff, then some sales rep will have to be explaining the loss of our contract real fast to his boss.
I dont want to start a flame war (WOW! Imagine that!), but I used to run phpnuke. Moved to postnuke because of the more open development (seemed more in tune with the open source idea) and the direction AND focus the project had.
Back in late 1998, a fella by the name of Michael Castle, I think he was a republican from the north east, said that his committee was considering tagging laser printers the same way that color copiers are already tagged. Search yahoo or google looking for color copier references instead of laser printers, might help a bit in your results.
Great, slashdot is now taking the place of college counselors. Gee man, get a life, stop your whining, and someone with brains start checking the stories. This sure as hell isn't "stuff that matters".

Ads dont bother me, its the banner ads that refresh with jscript, and then you have to hit the back button 30 times to go back one page.
The "one guy" also hates suggestions, bug reports, security reports, and constructive criticism.
.711, many of the core security concerns with phpnuke have been removed, and the development process is very open.
I'd strongly look at one of the forks, with postnuke (www.postnuke.com) being one of the better forks available.
While it is only at version

Then it would be a patent violation, not a copyright violation.
Trillian actually has a very nice multiuser profile system. Just have to set it up.
