Start-up founders have routinely conned contractors and employees alike with their worthless stock options as an incentive to take less pay, work longer hours, and look the other way when it comes to the founders' meglomania, lack of business sense, crappy office location, etc..
It is Jan 1 2005. You awake in a pool of your own vomit.
If you want worthless stock, go to Sand Hill Road and peddle your great idea. Work your life away only to see it stolen by extremely wealthy white men.
If you want real stock, apply for a job at a publicly traded company and put as much as you can into ESPP. Try not to get screwed.
Tivo for radio is *my* idea!
radioshark is a good example of how smart people can make stupid products.
As echoed by many others, the vast majority of people listen to the radio IN THEIR CAR. After that, it's people sitting on some form of public transit followed by those performing some sort of outdoor activity.
Does anyone actually use this shit? PHP seems to be, by far, more popular, and ASP.NET seems to be a lot easier than J2EE if anyone would actually want something more than PHP can deliver. Except, of course, for those who program in emacs. I know they exist but in dwindling numbers, like the cute Caribou. Or the wild buffalo. For the programmers out there who are out of work, looks like there is a promising career in law.
Maybe I'm missing something. Is Borland trying to make/help me write cross-platform C++ with some sort of GUI like they almost did with OWL?
Or is their offering only console based?
I totally agree that the Mac market is bigger than the Linux market. I think the Linux people should be pretty pissed off at Apple too, but they're too blinded by.. well, I don't even need to finish this sentence.
What's more interesting to me is a development environment that allows me to build SVG apps in an __enjoyable__ language like python, not C, C++, or even Java or ECMAScript (JavaScript) for that matter. Ack! Pfft!
You're right, my bad. Why would Borland support Windows at all for C++? There's little to no chance of them getting any traction there.
Anyone used ActiveState's Komodo for C++ development?
The fact that Apple didn't buy Virtual PC is pretty good evidence why Apple will always be a second rate computer manufacturer. No business sense. I had an Apple ][+ and a Mac Plus, and fifteen years later, Apple is finally shipping computers that I would actually consider buying.

Don't forget to clean yourself up first.

If this happened in Japan there would have been suicides galore. Ah, the Japanese.. so emotional.
Woo Hoo! Maybe I can move to Sunny Canada soon and get all that free health care!

I guess Borland is hoping nobody notices the completely free Dev-C++ on SourceForge. Whoops! http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/
Good point, they just have second-rate executives.
