Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hotmail has upgraded neither their free accounts nor their paid accounts as of yet. I'm still stuck at 78%, and I have no more than a few MB of mail in my hotmail account.
They're on it. Right after they finish that security thing they're working on.
Agreed. A month ago, I spent a day cleaning up my wife's laptop, installed an alternate browser and told her to never use IE ever again. After a week, I check up on it and she's still using IE. It took me three times get it to sink in. It's seems to pretty much be ingrained in people who have only ever used Windows. I don't think she had a clue that there were alternatives out there and, while not too computer literate, she has been on the net for 7 or so years in a windows only environment.
What market is currently being targetted by the OS X Servers?
Life sciences, for one. Apple has always had a stronghold in that area (at least academics) and I know of several companies that are selling server based products which initially ran on Linux or a unix variant that are now running on OS X.
Of course XML is going to be hard to represent in a relational database. Unless your tables are ( id, object text) and you pull out your XML and parse it.

Out of Gas

· Score: 2, Interesting
If a few cents a gallon is making such a huge impact, you are LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS...and you'll get fucked eventually.
High gas prices are really detrimental to the US economy. For every penny increase in a gallon of gas, something like $1 billion dollars leaves the US to the middle east (please spare me any Iraq commentary.) In addition, that is money that people can't spend elseware so other businesses suffer. Also, think of people like taxi drivers or pizza delivery people. They can't raise their rates to compenstate. And what about people who are just making as is. People need cars to get work.
This is truly amazing. Maybe I should submit my project to Slashdot - a giant diagram of the Linux filesystem... made out of old mayonaise bottles and ketchup packets.
My wife has a laptop that she hardly ever uses. 90% of it is used for Quicken. Once in a while, she will buy a cd or book online. She does not receive email in any form on this computer and never has. Our home network is behind a netscreen 5 with everything blocked. There are no other windows machines in our house. A few weeks back, I went to use her laptop and the thing was absolutely infested with spyware. So, here is an example of being behind a firewall, hardly ever using the computer and spybot is telling me there are something like 50 different spyware apps on it.

"But boy is it funny watching SUV drivers pay $50+ to fill up their tank with gas"
Look who is laughing come the weekend,
Funny thing is, I own an SUV. A nice gas guzzling one too. BUT - it's 4 years old an only has 22K miles on it (had 36 miles when I bought it.) And most of those 22K can be attributed to the weekend/time off.
I commute by bike. I have found that it is a great way to burn off the stress of the day. On my ride home, I can think about all the things that pissed my off that day (or in general) and get them out of mind by the time I get home. If I drive, I really notice a difference in how I feel when I get home. Plus it's good excerise as well as I can get a good laugh when I pass a gas station sell regular for $2.40 a gallon.
The party's over, guys. We have to put our noses to the grindstone and get the fuel cell technology to the market and we have only 3 to 5 years to do it. Starting in 3 years, 7Ghent's anger is going to slowly rise . Trust me, you don't want to see the level it will attain if it takes us the whole 5 years. Johnson: your vacation is canceled. Same for you, Collins. Yes, I know you haven't taken one in 8 years but we're talking 7Ghent here. Alright everyone, GET TO WORK!

Unless that virus can stay in your body indefinitely (meaning without your immune system eventually killing it) HIV will still win. It tends to hide in various places in your body like lymph nodes and can strike at almost any time. That's why some people go 10 or 20 years before getting sick as well as why you can reduce your virus count to undetectable with current meds but it will pop back up if you stop taking them.

How many felines are left? Even including "cat" and others, they are bound to run out, aren't they?
Maybe for OS 11 (OS X1?) they will start doing canines or something... Wolf, Coyote, Bear?
They'll probably just pick up a copy of O'Reilly's "Animal Naming Conventions".

There are cheap pdas. And you can buy keyboards for them. I doubt you will find anything much better than a pda.

Apparently you missed the first one, this is from the "in-soviet-russia" department.
And apparently, you missed the 5 other people who already pointed that out.
