Correct, on my personal google API key I can only run 1000 queries per day.
I believe that the google rankings people have an unlimited key, but it is still limited to 1000 results per batch. I thought I had read that on their site before but I didn't see it this morning (no coffee yet, so YMMV)
That or feed dummy images if the site triggers a spider alert.
Not to rain on your parade, but there are many options to wget that will never trigger a "spider alert", take these as an example:
--random-wait 15 --referer http://your-site/ --user-agent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Someone decided to wget -r one of my sites recently. All I can attribute it to is laziness as all of the information is freely available from the manufacturers.
Fine, be lazy, but at least have the decency to use --random-wait, having it suck down somebodys content as fast as the connection will allow is being rude in addition to lazy.
It's your basic server web/db/email, no audio no GUI.
The box goes into production in the next couple days. So, is it worth it to take the chance on a relatively new kernel or stick with 2.4.25?
If I could walk down the hall and get a real keyboard/monitor I wouldn't be so concerned, but it's a 30 minute drive and I try to avoid pissing off the paying customers;).
Are you referring to the froogle links at the top or am I missing something else?
I will admit that is the first time I have seen froogle content in the google results, but to the best of my knowledge you can't buy placement on google other than the two Premium spots at the top and the AdWords.
The last time I checked the Premium spots required a 3 month, $15k minimum. The AdWords are in a bidding war for top spot so the cost varies from $.25 - $50.00 depending on your keywords. I'm not positive about the minimum, none of my keywords are that low and I haven't used google PPC for a while.
I think you may be confusing your search engines. I have yet to see any search on google where AdWords has any effect on the actual search results.
Since they are listed down the side of the page and not mixed in with the search results and the "Sponsored Links" at the top, it's kind of hard to mix them up.
And if you can buy better results from google, please let me know. Google surfers convert at a much higher rate than all of the other PPC options.
3) Remainder due when the work is complete, not when they start using it. Complete should be covered in the contract. (yes projects morph, changes should be ammended to the contract as they come up)
Not to come off like an ass but, If you base your products/business model around only what the "hardcore geeks" want, you will fail.
Unless your business model is to have a hobby that brings in a little extra cash (there is nothing wrong with this).
If your goal is to make a lot of money and spend your retirement roaming the planet in luxury or doing whatever it is you desire, you want the largest possible target market and a sound business plan.
Of course I'm not an MBA, so I could just be blowing smoke;)
Plug the site... you may get a few hundred visitors, you wont get slashdotted and you may sell an item or two.
Never pass up an opportunity for free advertising.
Also, if you get your URL in a few slashdot comments above the fold after a couple of weeks you'll show up in the google index, if you aren't already there.
...it has targeted for lawsuits, but it has said the first two will be aimed at companies that hold Unix licenses.
There is no SCO before Unix in that sentance.
Further up the article you will see
SCO, which owns a disputed amount of Unix intellectual property, inherited the agreements by which inventor AT&T and its successors licensed the operating system to IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, numerous universities and others.
It's a safe bet that who ever they are going after is in that list.

When a spammer finds a "spam friendly" ISP they generally pay a premium for their access. Which is why the ISP is spam friendly in the first place.

Here, have a look at these, they are beautiful, but expensive.
I'm just about to pull the trigger on one of these, one more clinet to finish up and I just might be ready.
Get yourself a copy of Win4Lin it's what I used to use before I got my PowerBook.
In my opinion it runs better than Windows native, as long as you are OK with win 98.
You can even test multiple versions of IE this way as I recall with just symlinks to the different installs.

Google Rankins will do it for you, of course it only shows the top 1000. But that a limit set by google in the API agreement.
Here is some elaboration... ;)
I think they were referring to the upside down kiss scene, where she is in a white shirt and it just happens to be raining...

They are probably waiting until they get to 100,000 UNIQUE stories
Actually it wasn't as fast as you think. The story was on MacSlash a week ago and most likely someplace else before that.
I have a feeling that Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse are all more than happy to have you use the web and get your porn fix from their sites.
The margin is probably much better for online than print.

Three rules:
1) Always have a contract
2) 50% deposit up front, no deposit, no work.
3) Remainder due when the work is complete, not when they start using it. Complete should be covered in the contract. (yes projects morph, changes should be ammended to the contract as they come up)
Except that you just provided a link... so everybody that shares your profile will be tied to you ;)
You shoulda posted that AC. Anybody seen my foil?
Unless they changed the server behavior they throttle map downloads.
Most places are urged to provide the maps on a standard web server.
Of course I haven't managed a UT2kx server so what do I know.
You may not be able to see it, but its got a funk to it.
Thanks for the info, I had no idea. I will keep this in mind when I happen to be in the market for a new range.
You gotta admit, it's hard to beat the look of the Viking, Wolf, Jenn-Air...
This or maybe this should answer your questions.

While this is true, it is also unfortunate. Cooking on an electric range top sucks. That's why the big boys use Viking, Wolf etc.
Every time my wife has to use an electric, she swears about the same as I would if you told me I had to run KDE/Gnome on 486/25.
Now if I could only afford to get her a Wolf, Steak and BJ Day would be even better.
