...If someone would pay me a few bucks a day for my spare cycles, and the client was open-source, and there was close to zero hassle, I'd gladly do it.
Me too! However I don't think the powers that be, would allow anyone to be looking at the source code especially if they are paying.
Its amazingly easy to divide up something that isn't yours. Its like me telling you how to spend your money, and we all know how thats going to end up.
I can relate completely to this point. Last month I wanted to register vaandering.com - so I waited, patiently until the domain expired. Then there's the extra 15 days or so where the original owner can get last dibs on the domain before it gets tossed back into the pile. Well I went on holidays and came back to seeing my domain REGISTERED again! Imagine my surprise when I see it registered to BuyDomains! A well-known domain squatting business. Now this is my legal name, whether or not they want to display it as vaandeRing.com - they're sole purpose is to try and make a quick grand off domains... Why heres the fine print if your interested in buying a domain from them...
By submitting this price request, I understand that the quoted price will be at least $1,000 and may be over $10,000. The quoted price is a fixed, one-time only fee that will be valid for 7 days. This is not an auction. I understand the pricing terms and am prepared to spend at least $1,000 for this domain.
Isn't this bordering on the illegal? Theres no way im paying $1000 to register my name, its absolutely rediculous, and they advertise that they have over 475,000 'quality' domain names. Good lord...

Think of the advertising revenue that these sites are getting, and that they are the first sites that are taking advantage of this technology. Real-estate agents can give you a map of all the open houses with locations that could be given to clients. Gas prices? Well, you could map out pricing on your website with all your station locations with current prices. Your imagination is the only limitation...
...but seriously Yahoo has innovated alot more things then Google has
Seriously, why bother with the details on who invented the search engine? Google capitilzed on the fact that the Internet sucked in its current condition and made it better - Joe Sixpack is obviously using the better portal as a result, and its mostly by choice, its not like Google is forcing their search engine on the world, the world just decided it was the best tool for the job. With a share price of $280+/share currently, I'd still be inclined to sell however...
The most hated words on a tech support phone call.. EVER. These same people are going to be very dissappointed when they show up - charge $90 bucks - just to get referred.
Yahoo had tons, and GAIM also allowed entry into them. Some with names like "PARENT INCEST DILDO SEX" under the Adult > Fetish > Alternative > User Created categories and "PRETEEN NUDE PIC TRADES". All of them completely unmoderated and always completely full (40 users per room). I only checked it out because I had recently upgraded GAIM and saw the chatroom feature light up when I applied my Yahoo account. Needless to say, it was an eye opener...
If Google wanted to kill ebay and paypal in one quick swoop, just offer lower pricing on auctions, and be realisitic. Extra features are nice, but eBay just kills the entire idea of the upsell, every stupid thing you do costs an added fee, until your 99 cent item costs $12.00 to list! Would I put a ton of stuff on auction if it was cost friendly? You bet -- and might end up paying more **IN THE LONG RUN** then paying ludicrous amounts now and waiting 6 months between transactions.
Secondly, dont kill sellers and buyers with fees on both ends of the transaction, maybe link both services together, with free transaction and merchant processing for auctions when you utilize GWallet on your auction - BOOM - right there, youve got them hooked, and you dont need to worry about alot of fraud auctions.
Google in their infinite wisdom I'm sure has already come up with a great idea, and I cannot wait to see it. I am so sick of EBay, and when I log in there - I just feel dirty all over again from the way they rape you with charges that you end up owing money once its all done. Sheech.
Have Mandriva ever "screwed" the people who download the Free versions of their distro?
So where is that fabled 4th disk that isnt available in the download version but for some reason, when your trying to install software it suddently starts to ask for it? There is no 4th disk in the download version that I was aware of, so it struck me as interesting that it should begin asking once the OS is installed.
My recent upgrade from 10.0 to 10.1 is riddled with problems, will this aquisition actually change the distro, or do the people who download FREE versions of the distro get screwed? I noticed that some software in RPM format asks you for a disk you never got in the download version, its almost why I switched from Windows in the first place all over again!
Needless to say running this Distro in 128MB of RAM is not recommended.:)
Is anyone really surprised that sex sells anymore?
It doesn't. That why the easy lure for easy prey, notice how most virii files also have the word "free" in them or that its free as implied because its in their inbox!

It may be easy to read a poker bot's style of play, but reading good human players is extremely difficult. So even if a certain bot crushes the competition in this tournament, it may not do so well against humans.
Precisely! For instance, take your bot whos attempting to predict my game. Now since I'm not a fan of number crunching bots sitting at the same table, I decide to throw in a wrench and since im up anyways, lose on purpose, either by taking my potentially winning hand and replacing it, or by taking my losing hand and betting bigger than I normally would. Go figure the bot factors in my style of play, I've pretty much screwed it:)
Number crunching just cannot factor in those scenarios in a predictable way.

For someone who HATES programming, and I really do, I started playing around with it when it came as the scripting language in a TELNET program I used years back called ZOC before I used Linux and was stuck on Windows.
I also was heavily into online MUD realms, and ran a Worldgroup/Galacticomm BBS with MajorMUD - a very expensive addon MUD realm. Well I came up with the idea to create an online database that combined all the data from all the realms and put it together in a nice ranked website of all the top players and worlds. The entire engine was coded in REXX and I called the site MUDSentry, its been recently recoded in PHP and renamed to TurboSentry, but keep in mind, I programmed it in 2002 and Im not a fan of learning curves.
One thing, IMHO, for someone who HATES programming, learning this language was EASY. And since it was included in the TELNET client I was using, well that was the motivation behind the site and using the language.
Its been said before, but freenet is a reflection of us as a society. You may not like it, but some people do and thats all there is to it - legal or not - the fact that this project represents true freedom of information, without fear of censorship from anyone. Period.
