Actually I think Bin Laden is irrelevant at this point. Most people know that the various terrorist organizations in the Middle East will exist with or without him. Someone's support for war at this point is unlikely to be affected by the presence of Bin Laden. In fact, I sometimes forget he even exists.
Hopefully the homeowner files a lawsuit, which will force the courts to deal with these issues. The legality of his actions will certainly be a centerpoint in a civil suit.
That's because the CEO of that service company donates a lot to some senator, therefore state business has to be directed to his company. Nevermind that it takes money from the children's education.
I'd say their only customers are those with existing SCO systems that have not been upgraded yet. It can be easier to just buy another SCO license than to migrate the entire thing. I'm sure nobody is actually doing all-new SCO installations anymore. Anyone with a current SCO system should definitely have a migration plan, because they will be stuck with an unsupported OS when SCO finally liquidates.
That must be new. When I had an AOL account in the late 90s, I got a few hundred spams a day. This was before spamming was even all that common. Their only answer was to block the particular address, which of course did no good. When did AOL suddenly start caring about spam? I know they sued that spammer and recovered his Porsche, but that was mainly a PR stunt.
Have you looked lately? They're barely profitable, their stock got whacked by more than half and its still overpriced. I'll buy Amazon shares when they get to about $10.
I guess Amazon needs something to make money off of, since they sure as shit can't make any with their business operations. Or should I say, they certainly can't allow themselves to ever become profitable. Maybe if their latest web grocery thing fails, like most online grocery concepts, they will become the Rambus of the e-commerce world.
Hezbollah declared war, you idiot. War isn't about proportionate responses, unless you want to lose. War is about destroying the enemy. In this case, Israel needs to annihilate Hezbollah, and Lebanon too if they get in the way. Screw this shit about disproportionate responses. The only people parroting this line are the ones who support the destruction of Israel, like the UN, all of the middle east, and most of Europe. Now that Hezbollah got the war they've been clamoring for over the last few years they're doing what Muslims always do when someone hits back: crying like pussies.
It is a great idea to seperate computer science from software engineering, computer programming, systems design, etc. Too bad almost all companies hiring computer professionals do not know the difference themselves and will continue posting ads for a "computer scientist" when they really just want someone to fix their website.
While I think it's a bad thing for companies to make hasty short-term decisions just to please Wall Street, a public company must give some thought to profit. Amazon has historically failed to do this. It's great that they are constantly looking to expand and innovate, but such a huge drop in profits is unacceptable when running a public company. Bezos needs to sell out and move on to something else. He's great at starting companies but once they go public he is not the guy investors want running the show. Why there aren't more people calling for his head is beyond me. I'll short this stock until it hits $10 a share.
Microsoft's innovation is in software marketing, not technological development. Sadly, they made more money this way than anyone ever made by true innovation.
Oh my god, somebody just made a joke about PHP, the most sacred programming language since Perl! Mod it down immediately, the poor PHP developers might see this and start crying!!!
I totally agree. Lets not forget another leading reason for academic mediocrity: teachers unions. They are only in favor of "reforms" that put money in the union's pocket. Overall, they prefer to keep the schools shitty since they can use poor student performance as an argument for "more educational funding", nevermind that historically schools have NOT gotten better as more money is thrown at them. Get rid of teacher unions, cut the school budgets, and maybe then some real progress can be made.
Instead its better to just criticize anyone else for trying, right?
Your life must really suck; judging by your constant barrage of negativity. Does pointing out other peoples' shortcomings make you feel better about yourself? Are you really that pathetic?

SCOTUS? Is that a sexually transmitted disease or something?

I agree with you there. What can he do, sue the whole neighborhood for interfering with his right to annoy everyone?
That's to block the ASCII goatse that used to be so common on this site. Those were the days...

You work for SAP?
History has shown that Microsoft products aren't stable until the second service pack. That's about when I'll upgrade to this Vista crap.

Norton has become the AOL of antivirus. Living off a brand. Too bad Symantec destroyed what was once a great product.

What new laws are you speaking of? Please post them here, along with an explaination as to how they apply to you situation.
It was the last time you got laid... about 7 years ago.

Yup, they sure do. And then they deny a request for a $50 book, claiming they don't "have it in the budget" which they pissed away on the seminar.

A money market's rate of increase can go down with the stock market, but you won't lose your principal. Basically it protects you from inflation.
