It was actually brought up on Crossfire a few days ago, by Lawrence Eagleburger (former Secretary of State) on Tucker's side (right) of the table. Thought it was pretty insightful and honest for someone on that side to say something like that. I'd expect it from Carville.;^)
Transcript here Search for the word "egg" for the specific line.
But you're right, this guy isn't Sec. of State anymore and since then, I haven't caught much talk on the possibility.
Right, and once Saddam is gone we don't have to have an embargo anymore. We can then open that market and get more oil cheaper because after all, we saved their ass, they owe us.
The US wants its share of the 3% of the world's oil that Iraq holds. I don't doubt it. I don't think it's the sole root cause of the war, but it can't be dismisssed as easily either.
This sounds more like a question for sales@netraverse.com than it does for an Ask Slashdot.
How many Windows licenses do I need to have?
One Win 9x/ME license per active user
Now, defining "active user" is the fun part, isn't it? It sounds like what you're trying to do is within the bounds here, but then again, IANAL. If the MS EULA is hazy for VNC then who the hell knows.
Looks like it's so far so good for netraverse tho.
I used to do tech support for the MS 5.5 Exchange Server Client team, and we heard during training that OWA was pretty much a last minute hack that was never actually supposed to be utilized as much as it was.
Of course, as more and more people started using it (and our call volume on it rose!) MS started to concentrate on improving the web client more. The jump from OWA in 5.5 to 2000 is terrific, and I expect that progress to keep getting better. Hell, even between 5.5 service packs OWA improved significantly.
I already have an SSL cert on the OWA server that I work on now, so I'm looking forward to the next incarnation of OWA.
URLscan, properly tweaked for use with OWA, isn't as bad as some have said, but it isn't perfect either. I consider it a necessary evil which is far better than the possible alternative of not using it at all. It might choke on an attachment here or there with an odd character in the name, but overall the negative effect is minimal.
However, if I were him, that's not a website I'd like to be associated with in the second paragraph of a Q&A about web optimization. And just to be catty, that color scheme leaves a lot to be desired too. ha ha;^)
For those who are more interested in how Microsoft interviews, the upcoming book by William Poundstone covers the interview process.
I have an advanced readers copy, and although the majority of it is dedicated to the interview questions that have taken many applicants for a ride, there is a good bit about how applicants are evaluated as they go from interview to interview.
(Maybe one of these days I'll bother to write a/. book review, but I'm much more interested in working out the puzzles!)
Lemme take a step or two back as I think we are misunderstanding each other. I'm not saying that you are your ancestry. Perhaps my "mirror" comment was a little misleading in this regard.
My response was due to that I didn't think stubear should have made blanket remarks about Iraqis in that they "care nothing for their own culture or heritage", citing that they prop up dictators and make them look like heroes of the people. Radish called him on it saying that everyone will see blemishes on their past if they choose to look, including the US.
(Of course, all of this assumes stubear's from the US...)
I chose to support the comment which I thought put things into perspective. Didn't have mod points, so I made a quick comment. Might look a little rushed and blunt in hindsight, but that's really all there was to it.
Sorry for getting defensive after your response, I felt attacked. I hope this has made things clearer.
As for guilty self-haters, I don't see how referencing and recalling history (as stubear's post was doing in the first place, if you'd bother to read that much) makes anyone a "self hater". Enlighten me, if you have the time.
Mac OS X is a single OS, as opposed to a set of OSes that may or may not work together.
Right. That's why friggin' Classic mode on my wife's upgraded iMac keeps popping up.
rant: God forbid what would happen on/. if MS released their next OS which needed to load an instance of Windows XP everytime you used an older app. But when Apple does it, everything's cool. Yeah, like I wanna buy office again.
I remember the first little project I made up for myself, to draw Darth Vader's TIE Fighter. You know, the one with the curved in wings from the end of "A New Hope". Oh, the memories...;^)

Wow. That's one hell of a chilling quote.
Really? I heard differently.

Hey Patrick!
Why do all of my emails to you guys at the slackware store bounce back? I wanna make sure my subscription order went through!

They don't even know how their own product is used legally? That's kinda scary. Honestly tho, I wish you the best of luck!

Ya think? Just check out one of the sites he founded, webreference.com. People take web design advice from that example?!

I can see it now...

Does that mean that we're updating the slashdot Gnome topic icon? ;^)

Game, set and match.
Score one for the guy with the mirror who's not afraid to look in it.
Agreed. Believe me, if OS X wasn't what it is underneath, I wouldn't have bothered with it at all. It's my wife's iMac, and she was happy with 8.2. ;^)
After seeing your comment I had to see it for myself to believe it. How dismissive! Is that guy living in the bizarro world?
Right. That's why friggin' Classic mode on my wife's upgraded iMac keeps popping up.
