Turns out Kaplan now battles the "e-mail churn" problem as CEO of Newton, MA, startup FreshAddress, which helps companies correct the outdated e-mail addresses in their customer databases."
Translation: Kaplan now helps marketers/spammers share your address so that when you associate your new address with your same other information, they can continue to market to/spam you.
Yeah, right, that's a job that's gonna get you a lot of respect here on/.
NetSol exists because they were picked by the US Departmnet of Commerce to run the DNS system when there was a need for somebody to manage.com,.net, and.org and for a while they got to charge high prices thanks to that monopoly. Deregulation allowed there to be market competition for domain name rights and bundling of related services, but NetSol still controls the master database and gets a piece out of every domain name sold at the wholesale level.
So, NetSol lives a life where it has to do whatever is politically popular at the moment. If they don't, they easily could be stripped of their main asset, it's simply a license to operate a there-must-be-exactly-one service that can be given to somebody else.
Yep. They are. They're still offering dialup at $21.95 a month (with various ways to get that lower through comittments or bundling with other services.) They also have a very interesting $49.95 a month offer in select areas to give you DSL (at whatever speed your copper line supports) and also put plain old telephone service on that line. In Comcast cable areas, they're offering use of Comcast's internet service bundled with Earthlink applications services (for example, e-mail would be @earthlink.net) for a few bucks less than Comcast is charging for the equal plan.
"No tuition" deals are some of the worst in education.
See, these schools can't run without money... so what they take out of the column called "Tuition" they put into the column called "Fees". Here in MA, UMass offers a tuition-free scholarship to nearly every student who makes the top classes in their high school. However, compare the bottom line of the deal to the private schools in the state, and it all washes out.
We already know Google is at its core an ad delivery company. At least, that's the main revenue source that powers the feel-good things like search.
And what makes ads work is targeting. No use selling things that the user isn't interested in. And for that matter, no use selling things that only adults would want to kids.
So, the news here is that Google's got a patent on what they've been trying to do in this space all along.
From the article: Going strong since its launch in 2000, Sony's PlayStation 2 continued to outpace its successor. The PS2 sold 351,800 units compared with 280,800 for the PS3.
Somehow, this indicates that the HDTV conversion isn't going according to plan.
They're not liable for what goes through their network because they are a common carrier. However, common carriers by definition do not monitor their network or censor for any reason... once you start down that slippery slope there's no going back.
It's fairly easy to detect dishonestly in a fairly long survey. Just ask the same question multiple times with slightly different words use. If dissimilar answers are received on these questions, the person clearly can't keep their story straight, and is likely to be giving untruthful answers.
A buffer overflow is a buffer overflow, but if you RTFA... you discover that the maximum overflow of the buffer is four bytes. Anybody know of any four-byte long spyware programs?
For our international readers, no the USA has no enforcement of the ESRB ratings system. Some stores on their own have an ID checking policy, and some stores that market to kids just altogether refuse to sell M-rated or AO-rated games, but there is no uniform standard.
There's something in the news/TV/content business called an "evergreen"... something that's just as newsworthy tomorrow as it was yesterday and is today. We've finally hit the slownewsday(tm pending) that brings those things out of the woodwork.

Anybody think these headlines are linked? Torrent bandwidth up, HDTV bandwidth down... Slashdot confused?
Notice they have a "Task Force" for testing Microsoft, but no such group for Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.
So Microsoft's response to the failed test is that it's an unfair test?

Wow, EarthLink is still in business??
Yep. They are. They're still offering dialup at $21.95 a month (with various ways to get that lower through comittments or bundling with other services.) They also have a very interesting $49.95 a month offer in select areas to give you DSL (at whatever speed your copper line supports) and also put plain old telephone service on that line.

So, yep, Earthlink is alive and well.

AOL's XDrive.com has been offering 5 GB for free about 6 months now.
Just where are the reruns and DVDs of his work?
So the idea of selling digital downloads of on-the-radio songs for 99 cents doesn't count?
Apple's baiting Cisco to sue them so they can get the free buzz like this story...

You must be new here.

Didn't think so.
Nothing to see here. Move Along.

Remember, in London it's illegal to operate a TV set without a license to do so. The sole reason for that license is to generate revenue for the BBC.
So there's a rational case for throwing out your TV and watching everything over a computer monitor... no tax!
