  1. Las Vegas on Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter? · · Score: 1
    In the tech saturated city of Las Vegas, I have relied upon one head hunter to get me a job, when I need it. I have come to trust her, and the company she works for.

    Diane Radunz of Resources Connection

    This is not a plug, she is by far the best person I have ever dealt with.

  2. Re:This part needs a correction... on Magnatune - a Non-Evil Record Label? · · Score: 1
    I don't see any MP3s, and all I see are streams (m3u). It would be more correct to say "listen to hundreds of streamed MP3'd albums from our artists."

    Have you ever opened up an m3u file in a text editor? If not, here is an example. m3u is just a playlist format.

    If you have coke coming from faucet at home, how much would you pay for a bottle?

    As much as I paid for the glass.

    Your/their analogy is flawed, the bottle would be reusable, while a record is a set in stone thing. It cannot help you get more records, it cannot hold another type of record(liquid in this analogy). THink about that, then come back and asmack my ANTI-RIAA sticker on your head.

    Why not use a better format such as ogg vorbis, that is higher quality?

    Not everyone is as intelligent as slashdot readers...

  5. Finally on Magnatune - a Non-Evil Record Label? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I like it, and have just bought 3 albums myself. Im happy to see there is finally a LEGAL solution. Now, if only the RIAA would wake up.

    One feature I think is extremely unique is that people can choose what they pay. From $5-18, and the recommended amount is $8.

  8. Re:anti-virus software, tool of the pirate on Analysis Of Symantec's Stance On Censorship · · Score: 2, Funny
    If you stick to shrinkwrapped software, and DON'T run ANY other form of executable, then you DON'T need anti-virus software.

    You sir, are wrong. There is a product on the market that comes shrink wrapped, and is by far one of the worst viruses ever made. They seem to have a legitimate business operation, but innocent users fall victim to their faulty coding every single day.

    More information is available here.

  9. Re:there does need to be something like this.. on Analysis Of Symantec's Stance On Censorship · · Score: 2, Insightful
    No. There does not need to be any form of middle ground. This is why we are American, because we can *legally* say what we want.

    What about the programmers who were stupid enough to create a hole for the vulnerability? I know its hard to error check code, but some holes are just that...stupid. As for your blaster worm comments, I dont think the code was released. You obviously have not programmed anything, it is not as easy as copy and pasting code.

  10. Well... on Analysis Of Symantec's Stance On Censorship · · Score: 3, Insightful
    There are already first ammendment issues, thats a given with something like this.

    The real question is, why wont symantec create software that will deal woth these issue as they arrise. It seems like someone is trying to take the load off the company. It would be like Ford trying to make the speed limits of all roads 10mph. Now, they dont have to worry soo much about making a safe car, as accidents are less likely to occur.

  12. Re:California on Californians Can Get Free MS-Settlement PCs · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but neither. Its for software usage in California. If you buy it in California, and then take it to Nevada and use it, it doesnt count. You can probably say you installed it on your computer in California, and then say you moved.

  13. Re:At the end of the wizard on Californians Can Get Free MS-Settlement PCs · · Score: 1

    I think they would just check wether or not you lived in california during the time you claim you bought the software. They will not ask for copies of reciepts if you claim 5 or less copies.

    They do not require proof of purchase if you are claiming less than 5 copies of software.

    What was that patent number again?
    666...

    Sorry, not true. 666 is the IFUDD (International FUD Database) number of SCO's claim that they own this patent, becuase the source contains Unix code, which we all know they own.
