Does anyone else see this as a conspiracy on the part of Microsoft to get IM killed on Palm while building it up on Pocket PCs? I wonder how much money is being passed under the table to get Yahoo and AOL to cancel support for Palm.
Imagine if homesteaders had their land taken away back in the 1800's by corporations who claimed that they actually had rights to the land, even though the corps never set foot on the land and had no interest in it until they saw how profitable the land was.
These days I can't even open by inbox, it is so overflowing with spam. I'm exaggerating, but at some point email is going to become completely useless because of spam. I do a lot of business over telephone (the way I used to do it before email) and have an ftp site to which customers can copy shared files.
It's slower, but not as slow as deleted emails that I never see and can't respond to.
The other thing that's important to remember is that BSE is transmitted through consumption of contaminated neural and intestinal matter. No BSE has been traced to muscle meat.
So stay away from brraaaaiiiinnnsss and hotdogs and you'll be safe, for the time being.
Hopefully you majored in something useful like management or accounting so that you don't have to worry about finding a job when you get out. Keep computers and programming as your hobby and let your other work pay the bills.
If you still have some money, think about pursuing a professional degree (JD, MBA, etc.). Demand for these never dips.
There is so much crap flooding my inbox these days that the spam filter is slowly becoming a whitelist of my coworkers and a few external customers. Hardly anything else that comes in is worth the time to look at.
I know that whitelists aren't the answer, but then nothing short of immediate execution of spammers is.
Well, if we count backwards the generations from now until the creation of Adam, I think we can safely set the 0:00:00 date to about 6,000 years ago (left as an excercise for the reader).
I'm still wondering how they will account for such things as time standing still for Joshua.
We had a guy on our team who was always complaining about how getting t-shirts and keychains and hats and other booty was distracting us from the real goal of our project. He would always say stuff like, "Why would they give us this t-shirt when we can draw on a white one and it would be the same?"
We had to fire that motherfucker. A person with bad morale can infect others. So if you have to complain every time someone you have no relationship with gets something nice, keep it to yourself.
It's more a factor of their Socialist government system 'breeding' the hot temperament out of the populace. Introduce a capitalist into the picture and you'll see those sheep sheared for all they're worth.
Though I've never played with them because I'm a grown up now, I've never hesitated in recommending them as fun and educational toys for friends' kids.
What really impresses me more than just the base set is the amount of hacking towards making the programming of these little toys simpler with stuff like Mindstorms VB and Python.
It's sad to see this stuff just pass away. How cool would it be to have a way to pitch in and get Lego to keep the Mindstorm factories open.

Release carcinogens into the air by burning the cows...
Or dump toxins into the water table by dousing the cows with Drano...
Which is safer again?

There are no jobs in IT out here for you.

If SCO's claims that this code is in fact their own turns out to be true, doesn't that mean that their case has solid legs to stand on?
How interesting it would be for all versions of Linux before this code is removed to be in violation of SCO's copyright.

Paint some cans white and glue them together and voila! You've got yourself a nice set of omnidirectional antennae.
The plan is missing a key component: incentive for the providers to do such a ridiculous, money-losing thing.

Don't assume we all know what "SPF" is. Unless you mean "Sun Protection Factor", you are leaving the /. readers to wonder.
Please, if discussing a topic that is not widely known, put a short description or definition in the article writeup.
Thanks.
So are seatbelts. It's sometimes necessary to be completely unharnessed so that you can be 'thrown free' from the wreck.
Is this what happens when costs become the driving factor?
I don't let pixels on a screen determine my emotional state. Unless it's porn.

They just keep adding those words on there, don't they
They've been in uncharacteristically bad humor the past week or so.
It might just be the post-holiday emotional slump.
What, you think you can hurt them like that? They MAKE the money!
Don't fuck with people who have a lot more power than you.
It's one to grow on.
I walked through Yodobashi this afternoon and the PSXs were all sitting quietly next to the Digas and Pioneer sets.
None of it was moving very fast.
They may be selling quickly, but you'd never know it by the amount of stock still in the store. Perhaps someone in the article was exaggerating?
They can determine the temperature by the wavelengths of light given off by the star.
And those dozen degrees are in Kelvin. These aren't your ordinary units of measurement we're talking about.
Why would they have to pay if the pirates are into giving the milk away for free?
Play with your hands crossed.
