Well, if your relationship with Blizzard is good and you really feel like part of the team, I'd say go for it! If you think they're just stringing you along, I'd reject the counter-offer.
It really boils down to how much you think you can trust them.
From a Perl script to a full blown niche programming language, PHP is growing like gangbusters.
What's great is that you don't have to use a crippled database like MySQL with PHP, there's no longstanding history or anything tying the two together. Much more capable databases (Postgres, JET, Oracle) can be used with the same amount of ease.
PHP really takes to heart Perl's kitchen sink mindset and puts everything that would be useful to the web developer right at his fingertips. This book looks like a worthy addition to any web dev's bookshelf, though I see it sitting on the desk wide open a lot of the time;-)
Ah, back when a monkey could become a well-paid programmer... Those were the days.
If you feel the company really wants you to stay and isn't simply keeping you around to finish the current project, then I'd say stay.
The points on that page are very good, but it all really boils down to your relationship with your employer. If you feel like part of the team and you feel comfortable with the people you work with, stay. If you think this is just a ploy to give you your raise early and give you nothing when evaluations come around, then leave.
From what I understand they are as black and white as the stars we normally see. The Stellar Eggs, for example are awesome in appearance but if you took away the false coloring you end up looking at a fuzzy muddle of greys.
Rental DVDs, online worlds, telecommuting, and pizza delivery. There's no need to interact with more than one human being ever again! Surely no reason to shower! Imagine the savings in gas and water.
Once they allow downloads off the web, even at lower cost, the music distributors have simply turned over the keys to the kingdom to the pirates.
The solution would be to distribute the online music with some sort of system that prevented piracy. That would entail DRM, something which the Slashdot zeitgeist doesn't support.
In the past few years since digital piracy has been made accessible to the masses, the record industry has debuted several VERY popular bands.
The popularity of Britney Spears, N'Sync, The Backstreet Boys, Eminem, and others has brought them many CD buying-fans. Not to mention that the economy during this time was booming and disposable income was trickling down to the preteen and teen age groups.
No numbers have ever been released that show that groups other than those most popular (and hence crappy, by some definitions) have increased their record sales one iota.
Heading out to eden,
Yeah brother. Heading out to eden,
Yeah brother. No more trouble
In my body or my mind. Goin' to live like a king
On whatever I find. Eat all the fruit
And throw away the rind. Yeah brother, yeah.
Steppin' out to eden,
Yeah brother. Steppin' out to eden,
Yeah brother. No more trouble

My profound thanks to all who have participated and especially those that have dedicated much of their life during the last three+ years to a rather magnificent piece of work. I sincerely hope that you and your companies will benefit greatly from this standard. Humanity at large certainly will.
I could fill volumes with accolades. Instead, let me simply say two things. I have been honored to have worked with such a great group; I appreciate the raw intelligence; the mutual respect; the dignity; and the integrity represented in our Task Force; I have never worked with, and doubt I will ever again work with a better class of people.
During the last 3 years, I have received a significant number of compliments regarding my work as chair. I have attempted to graciously accept these. But, I have always known, and attempted to make it clear, that my effort was not and is not of primary consequence. The credit truly belongs to you. This isn't some insincere attempt at humility. It is, simply, the truth.
Congratulations, Well Done,
Jonathan Thatcher Soon-to-be IEEE P802.3ae X-Chair
I recall reading an article about the guerilla war in the Philippines where the rebels and the government soldiers were calling each other up and taunting them. Victory by humiliation.

And I could do without all the shitting jokes.
You will have paid the tax when you bought the hard drives.
But this history of PHP says that I'm right.

some people like to live in a world larger than their own head.
Their brains have fallen out.
The article said it looked like a retina, so maybe
Detached floating space retina that looks like grandma's knee nebula
That's catchy!
Better idea.
Don't send the money to the EFF, but mail Blizzard saying you did.
Then treat yourself to a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for being crafty (War Crafty!)
that no matter what it is that we're protesting at the moment, that it doesn't really matter because we're not serious about the boycotts.
Say what you like about Blizzard, they make some pretty damn good games.

Black and white wouldn't be quite as stunning, IMO.
Mmm.. Galactic donut..

He supports Microsoft and supports digital piracy. The man is a modern day Renaissance man!

Here's what it looks like when formatted nicely.

Good to hear that something good happens in these tough times for privacy and civil rights...
Kum ba ya, my Gnu... Kum ba ya...
Here's what it is.
Better writeups, please.
I recall reading an article about the guerilla war in the Philippines where the rebels and the government soldiers were calling each other up and taunting them. Victory by humiliation.
This is actually a pretty bad threat. Redirect a page to a gopher link and hijack the computer. Bad MS!
Send me an email about how you liked the books. Hardboiled Wonderland's a great read.
