I agree that they are shooting themselves in foot.
Besides those frequent-traveler and have-no-clue-about-any-other-isp people, I can't think of anyone who is still with AOL. As a matter, even some frequent-traveler has switched to NetZero, etc.
Surely it is now unlikely anybody would code on vi for a living, but then most of us who write unix scripts would find it handy (especially when it is the most common tool you would find in most Unix / Unix-like operating systems.
But then, a few years back(10?), people used to code HTML by plain text editor...so, somebody might earn a bit of fortune using vi at that time.
First of all, I'm not an AOL subscriber (and neither do those of my friends who I wish to talk to). Yahoo! has already clarified many of my legitimate e-mails as junks, so that make s no big difference. If things are getting worse, I still have my gmail ready.
By the way, did you know some insurance companies use SSN as the contract #?
Surely things are better after HIPAA comes effective, but then it did happen.
However, I do agree that google is making the wrong move here
I can't agree with your point. It is an either limited or blocked access situation. If Google does not make that decision, they can be totally blocked from <Insert A Country Here>'s Internet access.
They are saying that putting *copyrighted* materials in a shared folder is illegal. Not just sharing any files.
But that's enough to kill open source software - it is copyrighted even you are the copyright owner, and you may not be the only copyright owner for most open source projects that you participated in.
Also, I can use RIAA's flaw logic to argue that every webpage on the net and every documents shared within a company is illegal, since the webpages and documents have their respective copyright owners.
Given the recent news of search engines handing over user search records to governments, even the warrant does not specify a crime may have happened, Yahoo!, MSN, and AOL have a lot of things to do before any of them have "true dominance" to Google.
Exactly. I think it is ridiculous to deny an applicant due to the excuse of "overqualified". I used to tell one of those employers that if I am willing to take the salary and the work description, "overqualified" is not that of a problem.
Every one may (notice the word "may") have skills and knowledge improvement throughout their works. Are those employers going to fire those employees since they are now overqualified for the job?
I know this society does not always make sense, but then expect job applicants to be like cookies made from the cutter is really quite laughable. They should bear in mind that they are finding someone for a job, not buying cookies of exact same size.
I disagree. Most of the failed computer science and engineering students in my college went for political science. No wonder we have that many idiot politicans....
Slashdot Mirror
but the opt out thing has to be done every two years. Is there a solution that I can stop those once and for all?
Excuse me, but why is the parent modded as a troll?
I'm afraid that you mis-typed McAfee.

and the parent has confirmed my prediction - Apple-bashing (or shall we call it smashing?) articles will be modded down by Apple zealots?
Don't worry about the artists. In fact, at least Paul will roll in his grave by then - and we get a new energy source. :-)
Interesting, I misread the title as "Microsoft Hopes Prizes Will Attract New Windows Users"
FYI: The .jpg.exe part has already been covered by AVG.
I agree that it is what a well-designed anti-virus / os should cover.
Someone wants Slashdot to be under attack as well? :-p

Burning your software to CD-Rs as a backup is equal to programming new software (in other words, you own the copyright?!).

I forgot who said that, but there was an argument that evil is actually lack of good.

I can't agree with your point. It is an either limited or blocked access situation. If Google does not make that decision, they can be totally blocked from <Insert A Country Here>'s Internet access.That's why people think that's reasonable, and make it big story that Google is limiting the search in another country.

Redmond, WA is not that far from Seattle, which is a big city. If I remember correctly, Redmond is even in the Great Seattle area.

I've seen a few computer science who had been doing the computer science homeworks for their boyfriend / girlfriend.
It is just the different reasons for outsource (or shall I call it "insource"?) - either you do it for money or for relationship...
Personally, I was asked once by one of my friend (a girl, but NOT even my girlfriend) to do cisco related homeworks...
Oops... my bad. I mean partimage.
I tell you what, remove your Symantec Ghost and use a better and free (as in beer and speech) product called QtParted.
