Firebird a subproject of Mozilla is a light weight version of Mozilla seems a lot better bet to me. Opens faster, has all the same features (such as tabbed browsing and popup killing) and seems to be more or less big free. Uses less memory too (at least in my primative tests).

It's down to bang for buck

Ageism in IT?

I hate to say it but it's bang for buck. I hire as well as code and if I had the choice I would hire experienced old hands. However I can get younger coders much cheaper and with some good guidance they can be more productive per dollar (actually pound).
Older coders tend to cost more. If they don't then it's a level playing field.
My comment above seems to be oscillation between "funny" and "interesting". I wrote it with a view to it being both.
Wonder what this will get modded as?.......
Just highlights the issue of determining where spam really is spam.
Does you team have skills that you can make money out of if you stick together. Does you team provide a unique service that any other company would want?
I suggest you find out before leaving. If the answer is no then you just as good by yourself.
If the company is in the shit you say it is they are unlikely to turn around and try and make your life better just to keep you. Good management would, but if the company is that fucked then I'm guessing the management sucks.
I would alway recommend trying to find a job before quiting.
It's interesting that he blames the problems of software on external pressures such as management hassling of coders but there is no mention of project delivery methodology.
I would be interested to know what methods they uses. Are they using continuous intergration techniques, unit testing, agile methodolgies, XP? These things in my experience are crucial to low bug software.
Also who are they employing to write their software? Rocket scientists or coders. In my experience domain expertise counts for very little when it comes to writting rock solid code.
Apple's Quicktime can become the default plug in for PNGs and display them instead of IE within IE. Therefore full advantage can be made of Alpha channels. Obviously not everyone has QuickTime installed.
It's good to see that someone is still trying to give MS a run for their money on the desktop. This looks like an excellent piece of software. This release is the light at the end of the tunnel for those trying to use Linux on the desktop within Microsoft-centric office environments.
When a business ceases to add value naturally to society they will try and find artifical means of doing so such as copyright. What value is the record industry currently adding? Not a lot, more cookie cut bands to fill a focus group identified niche that the record industry probably created though branding in the first place. Screw that, the record industry needs to add value by supporting new and interesting bands. Failing that it needs to make it easier for me to access my music whereever I am. Hey, this is what they used to do, distribution and discovery.
Just did a windows update and it's intalled the wrong eth drivers and so I now have no network connectivity on it and have to locate manually working drivers. Luck I have another PC on which to locate the drivers.
Yes, change the URL string and the number (i.e. 37) preceeding it. The number preceeding it is the length of the URL string and the colon after the number is merely a delimiter. The number much match the new string.
N.B. Most text editor will alter the information contained within the SHA1 hash (the "junk" at the end of the file). Thus a recommend doing this will care (maybe in a hex editor).
When looking into the BitTorrent protocol and reading posts to various groups I keep finding the same thing. Bram has stated that his client has been tuned to work with a complex algorithm (to stop leeching amoung other things). Now whilst the protocol is known and documented the algorithms for sharing has not been. I would like to know if there are any plans to document this algorithm anywhere (other than the Python source). The algorith seems to be the important (read new and inovative) thing not the superficial protocol.

How does this effect reverse engineering projects such as Samba (smb) and Gaim (MSN)? Is it free if you can figure it out using a packet sniffer?

Why on earth would you want to do such a ridiculous thing as talking the IRC protocol over telnet?
There is plenty of free software out there. XChat for Unix and Windows and mIRC for windows. Just google them.

Are there any official campaigns to get people to stop buying CDs from RIAA members? If not maybe we should start one....

To some degree the former colonies of England and America will always have an advantage.

Shouldn't this be:
