Last year, people were able to buy $500k+ houses with no proof of income. Banananomics says the bank should drop your rate and the government will subsidize it to 31% of your income if you're behind on your mortgage. And if you had no job to begin with (or were laid off)... sounds like a free house to me.
They're still working on the free car part, but GMAC received TARP money (twice) and promptly dropped interest rates to 0 and lowered the standards needed to qualify for a car loan.
slashdot used to be much worse ( a couple rewrite ago, they made an attempt to fix the crap html in user posts). They used to be so bad they would sniff the validator and block it.
They've been talking about it for a while, but it's different than the amazon tax. Amazon (and other mail order/internet stores) don't collect sales tax if they don't have a physical presence in the state. New York wanted to reclassify affiliate programs so that Amazon (and anyone else with an affiliate in New York) would need to collect NY state sales tax.
You're forgetting about opportunity cost. porting/recompiling for linux may be profitable in terms of revenue vs cost, but that time might be better spent (better ROI) working on their next game.
Give employees half a day a week in which they should work on any side project they want (like google). Monthly, have a lunch meeting where people can discuss cool things they've been doing, ideas that came from it, etc.
imagine the same scenario today: posts would be moderated flamebait, troll, offtopic, or (more likely) overrated. Asshat moderators can be counteracted by other moderators or graded in M2. Meanwhile, every day dozens of inaccurate/wrong posts get modded up then modded down as overrated (which doesn't affect the label assigned to it), or flambait/troll/offtopic (which may cause other mods to mod it back up because they don't consider it a troll).

For kicks I spot-checked every year of google's homepage at archive.org. Not one was compliant.
Wit his girlfriend...
I guess I just need to invent a device so my dog can fire a gun pointed at my mother-in-law every time he licks his balls.
Energizer industrial AA batteries are made in the US. They cost $0.33 apiece.
more pedantically, it gave congress the right to legislate alcohol.
you think chicago is less corrupt than New York?

ubuntu is based on debian, so they may have lost mindshare, but not users.
I found your privacy. You left it here
yes. I installed the lenny pre-release earlier this week. partman will do software raid and lvm.
They don't deserve (and won't get) either.

In the US, salaried jobs are exempt from most overtime rules.
I'd much rather pirate the linux version than the windows version. Thanks guys!

no MFC? I consider that a feature!
Wrong.
Ultimately the assets of the corporation were bought by Palm, Inc., where Gassée served on the board of directors, for US$11 million in 2001, at which point the company entered dissolution. The company then initiated litigation against Microsoft for anti-competitive business practices, specifically the prohibition of OEM's to allow dual-boot systems containing both Microsoft and non-Microsoft operating systems. The suit was settled in September 2003 with a US$23.25 million payout to Be, Inc.
they didn't buy Be, they basically bought Be's engineers and the rights to BeOS, which they sat on. No BeOS code went into PalmOS.

Make that third -- a couple days ago, there was a story about a vim update from 6 months ago.
