Since when does Google design operating systems?
Since when does MSN operate a dominant search portal?
I think it's a while before we arrive at "the crunch", so to speak.
already? Am I missing something? Check the Summary tab in file properties. I see title, subject, category, keywords, comments, source, author, revision... this metadata can be appended to any file on an NTFS drive in a couple of clicks.
Would the Gartner analysts advise XP users to switch to W2K Pro until this "problem" is fixed?
Microsoft's media portal in australia, "ninemsn" (think msnbc) recently had to explain how it failed to notice its members had set up a "Rape Club" chatroom devoted to discussions a photos of, er, rape.
I have another friend who pirates FTP software. With the existence of FileZilla, I fail to see the point. What can't FileZilla do?
Secure FTP server.
Seriously I love Filezilla. It does FTP server, FTP client, SFTP client... I would pour sugar in my own gastank for a free SFTP server. It is a simple, killer feature that would would give the project huge momentum.
(and before you guys pipe up with "OpenSSH does it!"... I mean something with a GUI)
The Russian government would be happy to fly you into space, but I'm pretty certain the price would be beyond both our beer budgets for the next few years.
I was really trying to argue that offering a lower price than your competitor isn't a magic beans recipe for success, even for bearded twats.
What I'm pointing out is that Virgin will fly you to space for 10s of 1000s less than has been possible previously. Assuming that Virgin Galactic gets off the ground (groan).
Branson's money has been made very shrewdly, and almost exclusively by entering mature markets and undercutting them
To enter a market with a lower price doesn't guarantee success, even with a strong brand like Virgin. Hence the failure of Virgin Cola(tm).
I think the winning strategy here is he has deliberately targeted markets dominated by one or two corporate bohemoths who really need a kick in the ass in regards to competition, and shake things up a little. That's what they're doing now with space tourism. Competition is good for the consumer.
Branson is a master of PR, and I wouldn't be remotely surprised if this venture gets quietly binned, once its provided its much needed channels to allow Branson time to plug his newly launched credit card
He's also a successful entrepreneur to the tune of billions, so I wouldn't write him off that quickly. He must be doing something right.
When he started an airline (Virgin Atlantic) people aired similar doubts. When British Airlines realised he was serious they threw every dirty trick in the book at him... but they got smacked down in the courts when Branson proved they were operating an effective monopoly (a situation close to slashdot readers' hearts).
Despite extensive industrial sabotage, Virgin launched the worlds prototype discount airline, which to date has been massively successful. Virgin Blue, the australian arm of the business, has captured a third of the domestic market from Qantas within a few years. All the while Virgin has dominated another form of air travel with Virgin Balloons. But I'm sure that was a ploy to sell plastic credit too.
Naive spin-master or visionary benefactor? I think Branson's record speaks for itself.
We were brainstorming cool stuff to put on a website for our band, RSMinc.
Inspired by the Star Wars monopoly set, we decided to come up with our own branded board - RSMinc Monopoly.
Just set the resolution really high in Photoshop so you can print it really large, add your band photo to the centre of the board, et voila.
We had a contact at Kinkos who printed it up on A2 and laminated it for free. We just use the standard notes from another monopoly set for the cash.
You can see this flagrant infringement of intellectual property here.

Not surprising at all...

I just tried to track down a link through google news.
Which (at the moment) leads to a news article on ninemsn (!) Amusingly, follow the link and receive:
"The article you have requested does not exist"
Tinfoil hats ahoy! Instead, try this link to read about the whole sordid affair:
