I had a problem with IE & IIS I had to deal with a few years ago. We used a server side redirect, and it would break sometimes on IE 4, it worked fine on the rest of the browsers. It turned out it was a bug, in the way IE interacted with IIS.
You think that's something? I have obtained pictures of the surface of Mars by connecting a light sensitive detector to my Apple IIe that maps it's output to an ASCII-art graphic on the green monitor. It's been doing that since 1988. Of course it may just be a bad display chip.
It's no secret, at least it shouldn't be, that Micro$oft is making money selling your hotmail address (yet then they spam you with advertisements for their spam-blocking software)...
This is simply not true.
I used to have a short email address (5 characters) @ hotmail. I got A LOT of spam. I closed the account and made a new one, which included my first name, middle name and last name. I only gave out the e-mail address to a few people, and I have NEVER received a single piece of spam through that account.
Spammers are using "brute force" to find e-mail addresses randomly. They send a test e-mail (or even the 1st spam) and remove the ones that bounced. Voilla, now they have a complete list of all e-mail addresses 6 characters or less.
There was a glut of new engineers, many not really interested in software engineering, though maybe they do want to do a good job
There are too many people that don't even want to do a good job.
I got into this field because I had a passion for it - way before it was prestigious or before you could make a lot of money doing it.
When I moved to the Bay Area in the midst of the.COM boom, I was shocked to see how many people were in the field but didn't really care for it. I remember telling a collegue at a company I worked at about a potential bug in his code, and to my dismay his response was "bah, who cares. it works now, no one knows, then it's ok."
I worked for three different start-ups, out of all of of the people I worked with, there was only one person I worked with which I would hire myself or recommend to others.
My parents did this with Time Warner, until Time Warner got wise to the situation, and installed a filter of sorts at all the homes that had cable modes without cable TV service. This filter prevents viewing cable TV but leaves the cable modem operational.
At first read I thought to myself "Science Fiction Museum? I'm there". but after further consideration I realized that it's going to get a physical slashdotting now, with hoards of geeks lining up outside tomorow morning. oh well, back to the playing Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the XBOX.
In the spirit of Feng Shui, these chips will always be situated across from the heat sink, have a picture of a fish somewhere on them, and will never do division operations on Tuesdays.
"The two sides said they would sit down again in January to hash out standards for two-way services, which would add powerful interactive features that could, for example, allow consumers to order up movies for viewing without leaving their couches."
..and in an even bolder move, they're working on a gadget dubbed "Remote Control" which will allow changing channels without leaving the couch...

I already communicated to my sysadmin that my top security usability concern is that the post-it note with my password on my monitor peels off after about two months. We need better adhesives on our post-it notes.

Reportedly The Leaked Stragey Document only runs on an ATI RADEON 9700, and is pretty slugish even on the most high-end 3Mhz PC's. Oh wait - that's the leaked Doom 3 Alpha, never mind.

actually Feng Shui is chinese - and it's a lot more than a type of interior design. (Not that I subscribe to it, or to anything else, for that matter)

I did it with Sally in 11th grade in the pool. Thank god life did not originate underwater in that case.
cuz to tell you the truth I feel like we're being typecast as a bunch of peercasting multicasters who just broadcast our dreamcasts through comcast.
