...do you really think that a company that advertises through adware could be embarassed? They'll count all the impressions the FTC provides through their "embarassment campaign" as free advertising.
Sadly, there is no one room I spend more time in than my office. I spend about 35% of my LIFE in that room.
Since I am alone in it, I have spent a couple thousand dollars in additional furnishing in it ( Lamps, artwork, stereo, TV, various knick-knacks ). I figure if I spend the time, I should make the investment to make it a comfortable room I want to be in.
I'd be hard pressed to give it up for more salary. Would I sell it for a cube? Sure -- but then I'd look for a new job.
Stop being naive. A law firm wants little robots that bill endlessly and don't question the status quo. A better lawyer would recognize this and either tow the line or move on. I'm not saying anything about being right or wrong, just be smarter about your career.
...this winter has been mild, but the start of 2005 was pretty cold IIRC. Around New Years, I always see those chuckleheads at football games in California without their shirts on and I always think "We need more greenhouse gases up here"
We need a new furnace for the house, but this beast will easily keep my house ( located in the nether regions of Canada ) warm all winter. I am only disappointed that this rig will cost about the same as a new furnace.
If MS needs a new browser, which they don't, it would be FAR more strategic to use Firefox, a la Netscape. Even though they would not own the browser, and they would be returning some features back to the public, they could use new Firefox features to drive sales of their server based products.
There is no money in browsers (just ask Opera), but lots to be made in selling server software.
Should be hundreds of nut cases with moronic opinions wading in here. I'll let all of you decide which is which. My karma is too fragile to offer an opinion:)
IIRC, Turbine has been the only vendor to support/ignore player based 3rd party applications. Many, many AC 'players' max out characters by pressing the 'Start' button and then come back 5 days later to see how their character is doing.
If DDO supports macroing ( like Decal ), then this game is screwed.
Note to Turbine: For the love of God, please hire some QA people to check updates before you launch them.
'This is unlikely to be sustainable for publishers in the longer term.'
Search engines have been in common use for almost 15 years now. How much of a 'longer term' do you need?
Besides, Search Engines only point to content. Publishers should enhance their content with proper use f metadata to drive traffic to sites with grrat content people WILL pay for.
What a boring name. No GClick, GCall, or G-Click-to-Call?
They just don't put the effort into their naming schemes like they used to.
Full credit for trying something different...

Barenaked USB Drive

· Score: 5, Insightful
Barenaked has always been a great band that does things a little different.
In this case the sum of the parts is greater than the items. Sure the music
can be delivered cheaper and a memory stick is cheap. But the willingness
to try something a little bit different just to see what happens is worth
some applause.
By the way, these guys produce good music. They are worthy of support.
I remember when I was a young whippersnapper, I listened to the Sony cylinders and it loaded a rootkit on my Babbage Calculating Machine. It took forever to calculate 12 + 15...that is if the infernal machine wouldn't jump up by itself and crash on the floor.

New Server Chip Niagara

We can add this performance criteria to our system selection process...how many trees are saved. Featuring the Sun chip which is the world's first Megatree (MT) performer.
Why I remember when I was a lad we had Kilotree performers, and we were glad for it!!!

I can use more disk space so I can watch Ashlee Simpson videos while I slurp data off the corporate network.
Most of the time, I at least read TFA and make a dumb comment. This time, I read TFA and just felt dumb.
Can some explain it and use real-world examples?

Torrent on the Rogers network averages about 3KB/s for me. I could get a dial up connection running far faster than that.

Not to a non-American.
"As a contingency, RIM has announced that they have a software workaround that will allow service to continue uninterrupted."
Dad was telling me to buy shares in this company. I should have listened.
Good one. I would have given you a "+1, Funny" if you had logged in.
...this winter has been mild, but the start of 2005 was pretty cold IIRC. Around New Years, I always see those chuckleheads at football games in California without their shirts on and I always think "We need more greenhouse gases up here"
I think they can spend that money a tad more wisely.

....start with a new naming scheme for 2006, or does hurricane season start later in the calendar year?
Read it again.
I didn't say 'buy', I said 'use'. Netscape bases their browser off of Moz, I am saying Microsoft could do the same.

This is process is typical. You resigned, you got two weeks extra vacation. No muss, no fuss.
