Yes, but you understand that Yellow Pages cost money to advertise in. With search engines that provide "free" listings and that promise accurate results, the expectations are different.
The gov't isn't stopping paying advertisers from promoting it, they are just requiring that the consumer know why that link was weighted that high IF it wasn't based on its content and merit.
Paying advertisers are welcome to compete the old fashion way.
If it ain't easy to use and idiot proof, none of their users will know what to do.
Want proof? They bought a MAC.
Does this mean I'm pro MS? Nope... It just means I dislike Apple much more then MS, for if Steve was incharge, he would make Bill look like a puppy.

The needs of the website are defined by what the customers require, not what looks kwel.
I find most movie sites completely useless because they feel that I want to sit there and wait for their flash to load. I don't, just let me see to cute chick staring, the trailer, the release date.
Don't make me wait for a glowing red eye on T3's site to brighten before I can just do... Actually I never figured out what to do on that site. Is there any content yet?
I to am not very gifted artistically, but guess what, if you are building e-commerce sites, looking at Amazon as a template is smart. I don't see flash, drop down DHTML menus, or code that breaks Netscape / Mozilla.
Smart developers create in Netscape and test in Mozilla and IE.

Wouldn't help... She'd see it as limiting her creativity...
What you need is a Feedback button so that her students can directly yell at her. That way she will learn.
The other choice is to get her students to submit their work on black paper with green text and insert pictures that have nothing to do with the assignment. Ask her after that if she is still having fun.
Sony made it easy for people to pirate their games.
Microsoft also used this tactic in the early 90s to gain market penetration with Windows 3.0, Office 4.2, etc. Everyone had Windows because everyone could have Windows. No copyright protection, nothing.
Sony console purchases increased because people could easily mod their boxes and play games. Sure it hurt the bottom line for the game companies, but did it ever increase the "potential" market.
Basically XBox just sealed its fate. Thank goodness, I was growing sick of hearing about it.
"how much better software can be, if you remove management, lawyers, sales department etc. and make good programmers work together without short-term profit in mind."
What you smoking.. Wanna share?
Management and a Sales Department are necessary, have you ever tried to get a geek to explain what they built in English?
Programmers do not make good sales people usually, it takes a lot of practice to talk to people in the appropriate language and level of technicallity.
And programmers left alone would be responsible for even more feature-creep then sales or management. We always like kwel stuff, a what if we do this.. Unfortunately we must be restrained.
As a side note, at least we usually don't change the scope of the project or promise the undeliverable..
Lawyers... This I'll agree with you... Same goes for Politicians, etc.
Saudi clerics and their supporters have tried to ban developments in technology on grounds that they could be used to violate Islamic law.
Maybe these Saudi clerics should spend more time educating the fanatics that they will not be going to heaven when they blow themselves up rather then suppressing the natural sex drive of people (not just men in this case).
"Of course it may be misused by some wicked people but they are very small in number," Saudi analyst Ahmad Al Sinani told the English-language Arab News. "We should not exaggerate things."
Cell phone peeping toms are wicked... Please... Focus on the real issue... A society that doesn't even have an arabic word for "Women's Rights".
Here in the West we may overally sexualize women and sex in general, but at least they are valued more then property...
Saudi Arabia is a segregated society and women in public are completely covered by a veil and robe.
And here is the problem... Society is broken.
If they didn't have oil... It would be Arabs what? and Middleast where?
Slashdot Mirror
The key is deterance... It has always been. You aren't going to push a button if someone else can do it to you back...
Please can we get a header translation so that those of us can build upon your framework.
And also Windows... The client should have Windows support.
Thanks.
more then write lame movie reviews for slashdot?
What is this world coming to?
What you mean its not our beloved JonKatz, you mean there are more then 2 John Ks?
Damnit be more clear in the message summary.
They should have crocked Ronaldo... Sure that would have looked bad, and I probably wouldn't like to see it happen.
BUT DAMN IT. I WOULD BE PARTYING RIGHT NOW!!!
Instead I'm here reading Slashdot. This so sucks.
But isn't the virus installed before the agreement is displayed?
Wouldn't they be liable then?
I too can paint my PC to look all pretty. I can buy a funky case and mod it up.
And the best part... I'll have $500 left over to spend on other things.

Piss off and die Microsoft.
Its a Simpsons reference...
Yes.. I know, I can understand a little German.
A priceless moment was listening to Germans sing "Hands Up Baby, Hands Up Baby, give me your heart baby give me your heart baby".
Germans really shouldn't sing songs with words like "Hands Up" and "Halt... in the name of love" because they say them just so... war like.
Go Germany Go...
Or is it?
News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. And yes some of us like using Windows, hate Apple, and are waiting for Linux to hit primetime.
Die is Love in German...

Only if the box has a FireWire card in it... And that's not very common so unfortunately you are stuck only being able to download iMac stuff.
Of course, you could always use the iToshiba if you are really that much of a thief.
Is it that hard to just use Kazaa or even pay for software?
You'd think NASA would have standarized on the unit of measurement...
Mars crater anyone?

+1 for using left hand to press [Ctrl-C/V]
+1 for using right hand to move mouse
-3 for redundancy and trying to act clever.

Are loose women suppose to be a negative? I must say I enjoyed my time in Paris and Cannes... The beaches were oh so beautiful...
Oh well back to work..
We murder the unborn to heal the living who have enough cash to afford it.
Why should those careless and irresponsible in life be entitled to an extension from the murder of the defenseless.
God bless America...
