Hopefully AG will take a cue from Kazaa, go out of bussiness, and have another company (such as Sound Universe) located on an obscure Pacific Island with no extradition treaty take over the task of managing the central server and the distribution of the client....
I used to have a Mac. Then I noticed how hard it was to network the things. Then they switched to a new interface and I had to learn it all over again. Then I noticed how slow it ran and how it was draining all of my money. Now I use Windows. Not only is it the same user interface I've been using at work for the past 7 years, but now I know that I'm not fueling Steve Job's crack habit.
Maybe they're just tring to set a record for the largest sale on their own auction site. You too could own paypal. Bids start at 1 billion, 2 billion dollar reserve.
One time in history class we were studying labor negotiations. The deal was that we'd break into teams of four, with two management and two workers. My group was the 'left over' group and we had 5 people. Because on the 'contract' forms our teacher gave us there was only 4 slots for signatures, we were able to manipulate the three labor people. Two of them would say that they'd sign for X amount of money, then the third person would say that they'd sign for (x-1) amount of money, and so we'd tell the other two that the first one to agree to (x-1) amount would get his signature on the form, then the person who was slow would say he'd go for (x-2).....we actually worked the salaries down to $3 a day before the class ended and we had to sign contract. We lost two letter grades because we shafted the worers so bad.
PS All M$ sekurity updates should very clearly read "fixes all KNOWN security issues" - a very important detail.
Until Apple starts making it's own internet browser to package with OSX, don't bitch about Microsofts. I might add that if OSX IE is so unstable and buggy, why not use mozilla or netscape?
Today in Boston, Several British troops were wounded. It started when a riotus mob attacked a group of soldiers. Although he only ordered his troops to fire into the air to scare off the mob, there have been accusations of civilian casulaties.
"We have begun investigation into this, but we don't think that there were any civilians killed" Said the spokes person of the British occupational troops. "We only used carefully planned shots, designed to only eliminate dangerous members of this mob, and to not touch the innocent civilians around them"
Today King George himself addressed the House of Commons in his annual State of the Empire address
"There is an axis of evil in Boston. From the destruction of valuable cargo by terrorists dressed up like Native Americans, to now the rioting. We will, with our Hessian Allies fight this war on terrorism to the bitter end."
I for one think this is a good idea. I'd rather have 5-6 distros competiting (while still being somewhat compatable) than to have one solid standard. We all know what happenes when competition ceases. Not that the idea of United Linux is a bad idea, I just think that there need to be choices besides it.
Because the plans are freely available, instead of one large company building them, many smaller companies will build them. The competition will force them to innovate, while fear of being incompatable will keep them from doing anything that would make their particular model too far out of place. If there is a central group of people developing new hardware and software, there won't be the fear that they'll stagnate either.
My point has been proven. Because microsoft didn't put in extra support for Hebrew, Apple has gotten up and fixed the problem. Now Isrealites will be able to use macs.
If MacOS doesn't support Hebrew, why are you blaming Microsoft? I'm definatly not pro-microsoft, but there comes a point where you need to stop blaming everything on them for the sake of blaming everything on them. If Apple wanted Word to have Hebrew support, then they'd put it in their OS instead of whining that Microsoft doesn't go aout of its way to include it in office.
If I had to choose between the life of my child and a life of a complete stranger, then I would sacrifice the stranger to save my child. Find a parent that wouldn't. Granted, you didn't say that my children were about to starve to death, but in desperate situation, everyone's morals and beliefs would change.
I disagree. While we are certinaly are not worshiping him here at slashdot, I, and hopefully others out there, certinaly wouldn't want him dead. I would play a million dollars to have him removed from power and forced to work as a goat head in Elbonia, but certinally not killed.
If you want to be able to analyze weblogs without having to worry about cookies and such, there really are only three options that I considered. I was hired by a medium sized company as a 'Summer Associate' (read: Intern) to find a tool that will help analyze our logs. The criteria was that it could monitor the number of clicks on a particular add or link, so that marketing could track how successful the banners on the front page were.
The requirement from the IT department was that it had to be able to do a two-pass analysis. The first pass to read all the raw data into a raw database, and the second one to filter through all of that (IE, hits from within the company and from search bots were discarded) and to generate the reports. The reason for that was that we didn't have room on our servers to store 20 megs of log files a day, and if we suddenly discovered that a certain IP address that had been registering all kinds of hits was actually a searchbot, we'd want to be able to rebuild the database without having to go back to the origional log files. At any rate, I spent a solid week on nothing but this, and here is what I found:
1) Webtrends - We already use this one. We don't like it as much because it doesn't track the clicks through the JSP post commands as well as we would like it to. If your company uses HTML pages, then it has a great ability to track users through your site. like what percentage of people who were on the main page clicked on this link, etc. etc. It only uses a one-pass database, so whenever we discover that a certain IP is a searchbot or we need to put on some other filter, we ahve to have someone go through hordes of data and clean it up a bit. It also has a web interface, so you can just dedicate an NT box (Mod: -1, Suggested Using Microsoft) to hosting the server and analyzing the data, and not have to dedicate anything else to it.
2) Nettracker by sane solutions: This is the best that I was able to find. It also has the web interface, and I was able to run the MySQL server, the nettracker server, and the web browser. It has a one-pass system also, but because it uses a simpler database structure than webtrends, it's easier to maintain the data. You can either use an oracle database, an SQL database, or it's own internal database. It also has the ability to track users through your website. It can export the reports through Microsoft Word or Excel (marketing people love that). It also has the ability to create custom reports easily, so that we don't have to custom make them for the marketing people.
3) The last one is sawmill. This has all the basic features that nettracker had, but can only use its own database, and as far as i could tell couldn't export the graphs. I will say, though, that it costs several orders of magnitue less than nettracker or the full version of webtrends does.
this is my analysis of web traffic analysis tools. Most of it is more than a month old, and comes from the demos that I could get at the time. If you think that I got something wrong, please post. Hope this helps a bit
Actually, it must be a miss-translation. You see, It states that the Chineese government, the same fun-loving government that has killed more of it's own citizens in the past 40 years than the Nazis killed Jews during the second World War, is "beating a drum that announces the start of freedom" (translation cleaned up a bit). Let's hope that our law makers don't start using this standard to measure our freedoms.

Actually, you already get that option. Just take the cooling fan off and mmm....crispyness.

I apoligize then. I wanted to say "People to live in isreal" and that's what came to mind.

They actually already have it. It's called windows CEMENT. The power of CE. The stability of ME. The User-Freindlyness of NT
You forgot a third option: Would you pay a million dollars?
I'm still waiting for Windows CEMENT. With the power of CE, the stablility of ME, and the user-freindlyness of NT.
Or imagine if they could only get rap music from us. What would they think of us then?
