Monday's earnings call ``will provide investors the first opportunity to press both McNealy and Lehman at the same time to see if they are on the same page in terms of the magnitude of any restructuring,'' Sacconaghi wrote. ``A major restructuring move appears to require a shift in CEO McNealy's traditional sentiment regarding head count, which may be difficult to effect or cause a leadership struggle within the company.''
Sacconaghi estimated Sun would need to cut 10,350 to 12,150 jobs -- or 27 percent to 31 percent of its worldwide workforce of about 39,000 -- to reach an acceptable operating margin. But he added, that magnitude ``would be difficult to execute without potentially undermining the business.''
You can find several other articles that say essentially the same thing if you want to hunt for them.
Perhaps the "we" that decided to run the story could have devoted a bit more time writing or editing the article synopsis? Perhaps even make it factually correct wrt to the ability to whitelist multiple domains/ip addrs with a single request (which the summary says must be done one by each)?
I went to the referenced URL and it sure looks to me like, using the ISP form, you can request multiple domains and multiple IP addrs in a single request.
Also, the discussion over at Google currently has a whopping 6 entries.
And he is generally recognized to be a very intelligent man. Of course, given that most slashdotters weren't even Hershey bars in their dad's back pocket back when Carter was president, it doesn't surprise me that everybody thinks Bush is the only president to mispronounce nuclear.
Enron also 'gamed' the system, and look how much damage that caused. It's fair to say that this could also have some dire financial consequences against those who were meant to benefit from this process.
So GoDaddy got outsmarted by somebody who gamed the system and now they're whining about it in the CEO's blog. Kwticherbitchin and figure out how to make money, not whine over lost opportunities.
My current laptop case for travel weighs 25lbs fully loaded with all my "stuff". I want something functional, well padded and with pockets that are easy to get into and out of without opening the whole thing up. With that much weight, if it doesn't roll, it isn't worth squat.
500k air miles and 4 years later, I'm finally wearing out the bag that was the predecessor to the Travelpro Wall Street.

If you are doing workflow-enabled applications, and you have good Notes developers, it's a damn good product and you'll find that you can roll out apps very quickly (detractors, please note that I said you need good developers).
It's easy to use the perpective of hindsight to declare something is inevitable. Not only did he invent something, the underlying architecture was what was, in part, the key to Cisco's early success as the design scaled very well.
The gist of the article is that the Big 3 provide a suite of solutions, not just A/V. Yes, there are people out there who prefer putting together their own suite and maintaining it all by themselves. And that's perfectly ok.
However, there is a larger group of people out there who would rather throw money at the problem and make it go away (or at least make somebody else try and make it go away on their behalf). That's the solution the Big 3 offer.

You're so wrapped up in anti-MS sentiment, that any outcome other than the one that you personally desire is sub-optimal.
Every business acts in their own self-interests. If they don't they get trampled by their competitors. Some do it better than others. Do you think for a second that the vast majority of the 90+% of ppl using MS Office on the desktop care one whit about Open Document Standards? From their perspective, they already have it.
Help me out here. wrt balls/brains ratio, is bigger better? 1.0?
The best part about using past actions to predict future events is you can choose which past actions prove your case. The "get rich quick in the stock market" folks have been doing this for decades.
If MS doesn't join the alliance, they're seen as factious and self-serving. If MS joins the alliance, they're seen as sneaky, underhanded, factious and self-serving.
There's only going to be one big winner in the 13-25 community space. Look at the massive inroads made by myspace.com. Hold out too long and the execs will end up delivering pizzas alongside the first wave of dot-com execs.

From the San Jose Mercury News article a few days back:
Monday's earnings call ``will provide investors the first opportunity to press both McNealy and Lehman at the same time to see if they are on the same page in terms of the magnitude of any restructuring,'' Sacconaghi wrote. ``A major restructuring move appears to require a shift in CEO McNealy's traditional sentiment regarding head count, which may be difficult to effect or cause a leadership struggle within the company.''
Sacconaghi estimated Sun would need to cut 10,350 to 12,150 jobs -- or 27 percent to 31 percent of its worldwide workforce of about 39,000 -- to reach an acceptable operating margin. But he added, that magnitude ``would be difficult to execute without potentially undermining the business.''
You can find several other articles that say essentially the same thing if you want to hunt for them.
McNealy was resistant to a massive layoffs (25-35%), which analysts say are the only way to revamp Sun at this point.
More importantly, revamp as what? Big iron only?
I dunno

Enron broke the law. What law was broken here?

My replacement? Probably a Briggs & Riley because of the unconditional lifetime guarantee, but at $350, it's not in the range of the average consumer. For somethign more affordable, I'd look at the Travelpro Wall Street VIP rolling computer brief
Correct. And don't forget that the metaphor for a Democrat-controlled Congress is pigs at a trough. They do vocalize.

Admit it, you're really Stallman. Because only he is self-centered enough to take this article and think it's all about him.
One of my best developers does, though he's old enough to have been doing it since it first became popular.

Yes, but I try to do it without the underlying assumptions that there's a Red under my bed and a little green man in my head.
