Is this going to be the next European TV show that gets imported to the US? I can imagine, state vs state, backhanded compliments to who? Alabama? 50 is a lot of states, maybe they will do regions.
Even though my previous post was beginning to resemble an ad, I don't really care which you used. I have an active Yahoo account, too, which I check almost every day. I hope that Yahoo and GMail both remain competitive.
I would hate to see the marketed dominated by either so much that developers need to waste too many brain cells on being compatible with anyone's nonstandard features, not unless there is a huge demand for that nonstandard feature, in which case, the defacto standard should become official.
Fortunately, free email accounts aren't like computers and operating systems that are too expensive to own more than a few. I'd love to own more, but I can only afford to have Mac OS, Windows, and Linux in my home. I'd love the rest, but my family room isn't big enough for the boxes. As an aside, the Mac shipping boxes are so pretty, they make nice end tables.
It's a small price that allows others to express themselves more safely. You don't need to listen.
All it does is decrease the signal/noise ratio. You may have to work a little harder to find the good stuff, but you'll will find a way, or maybe an alternative. Reminds me of email filtering somehow. It is much harder when the sender doesn't have a stable identity. But, if all your legitimate senders have stable addresses, you can filter out the others. It also reminds me of seti, if you don't want to listen, you don't need to, there is probably someone more motivated than you.
Thanks, now I guess I'll go read it. It took reading this far into the notes, to confirm it wasn't an article on how to use social networking to find nipples in cyberspace.
I use del.icio.us. I'ts great, but the/. article sounded like it links to something worthless.
Yep, BitTorrent did it, it just slivered into the film can and slurped it right onto the internet. The person who let it get close to the can can't be at fault.
Under the new regulations, the Department of Commerce would be reviewing as many as 350,000 additional deemed export license requests every year, because all U.S. laboratories, research facilities, and universities will be subject to the new license restrictions. In 2003, Commerce reviewed just 846 applications for deemed exports to foreign nationals. The new volume of applications, it would seem, will be nearly impossible for the department to handle.
If the Department of Commerce borrowed a page out of operations manual of the USPTO and made money by approving applications, then maybe very few would be rejected.
They make them stay in the USA, not by force, but by allowing them a lifestyle they can't have in Cuba. keep them in this country for so long that the last thing they'd want to do is nuke us, especially if that mean nuking their American born kids being educated at American schools, (well, maybe that's iffy, but we do have good schools for those with the $$$$)
And if he does manage to learn enough to be truly dangerous, it would probably be a good idea to hire him into a highly secure industrial job where he can use his knowledge for US, not those countries of concern.
This is a very dangerous form of isolationism. If students from diverse cultures can't freely participate in American culture including the academic and technological culture, we will never learn to trust them and they will never learn to trust us. If they go to Europe instead of America, America will always be a monolithic scary thing beyond the hozizon and Indians (and others) will remain strange and foreign and even subhuman to those who only get to read about them or see them on TV.
Thanks, that's a great companion to my comment. I said you could do it, then you detailed how. I actually like the webmail interface since the automatic sorting and labeling rules work so well. I can't say that about any other webmail system I've used. But, thanks to the POP mail, if you set it up as you describe, the user doesn't even need to know he is using gmail until he needs to retrieve something from the archive.
One thing I've noticed about the spam filtering, is how well it works on redirected mail. I have several mail accounts on a domain I own which are all pointed at my gmail account. I mark the spam on the redirected mail with the spam button, and it works as it should (how I espect), rather than marking everything coming from that domain as spam. Some spam filters, I've heard, would consider my domain a spamming domain and send all the redirected mail to the spam folder. Since I've never personally experienced that problem, I don't know if it is a real problem for some people or just an urban legend.
Because Gmail won't let me do basic things, like put my own, real address in the "From:" line. They allow "Reply-to:", but it looks so 90s, and Reply-To doesn't work in all mailers.
You got to think asynchrously. Read your mail with GMail, but use a mail program on your own machine to send mail. Then you can use any address you want, preferably one you can forward to Gmail.
This gives you the bottomless archive for your messages that you can assess anywhere in the world, plus the ability to compose messages in a more powerful editor, even do it offline if you'd like.
If you like reading mail with something other than the GMail web interface, they've got pop access, too.
Oh dear, I'm starting to sound like an ad, they should send me a check.
"Wal-Mart sells DVDs that have had their content edited (dubbed words, cut scenes), and only mention it in small type that you have to know to look for."
That's not any different than finding Macintosh software at Walmart, you just have to know which fine print to look for. But, maybe that's another form of censorship.
It was the movie maker who had to create two versions if he expected to be carried by Walmart. It doesn't cost Walmart anything at all.
If the market economy works, it doesn't cost the filmmaker anything either since he more than makes up the cost with the additional sales. If you live in some parts of the country, it's the Walmart version or no version at all.
"What if I told you I automated that CAD wiring diagram process and made my own inventory system, and put them both behind a nice web frontend, integrated into the company's website? But, wait, you wouldn't get that far with me. You'd just choose that other guy because he has a Bachelor's in drinking beer from a hose held by a college slut."
You just have to do a better job explaining why you will be a better employee than your more easily verifiable credidentials would indicate. Unfortunately, the typical HR only knows popular acrynyms and wouldn't understand a wiring harness if it tried to strangle him in his sleep.
I went to Ga Tech when the drinking age was 18. Seems we had an awful lot of both drunks and suicides, as well as people like me who drank just enough to compensate for all the hard school work.
You tend to hear more about the drinkers because they don't make many funny suicide movies, especially if the director is using his own life as the inspiration.
That's one of his main points, not that recent grads are undervalued, but smart, useful, productive recent grads are undervalued because all they have to go on is college credentials. Therefore they get average in with other people with similar credentials.
All recent grads from big name U are paid about the same, a little on the low side, because they can't tell who is going to make them money and who is just going to take up space. Unfortunately, since all they have to go on is which school you graduated from, the guy from the more selective school is going to get more and possibly better offers.
Slashdot Mirror
Even at Harvard, someone must be at the bottom of the class. In fact, about half are below average.
The question is, would you rather be at the bottom of your Harvard class or the valedictorian of Po Dunk Yu? (sounds asian, but it wasn't meant to)
You mean engineer mothers who eat pizza are healthier than nurse mothers who eat rabbit food?
What if two engineers get together?

Much smarter to let the economy tank and outsource all the decent jobs so the only place to get a job is with the military.

A tuition favor plus a grad student's stipend is still very low pay for considering the value of their work.

It's kinda cool how it resembles the real word "googol". But, then all words were made up once upon a time.

Sounds like the punch line for a preacher's joke, you know, the kind of joke they might include in the sermon.
Ah, eminent domain, if a thread gets long enough, all our favorite topics get into it.

Need to send up some HW hackers to reengineer the darn thing, assuming someone hasn't passed a law against reengineering.
