As an online advertiser for a very small business on the web, kanoodle gives way better results for your dollar. I set up a script to track who was coming through where and when. The result was all of my daily click-thru money for google was going to a couple of people. 200-300 clicks depending on cost for 2-3 users is a bit extreme. At the time, the only thing I could do was to stop using google adwords. It was an easy decision as I wasn't making any money through google. And while I was making nothing on google and spending hundreds per month, I was spending $50 per month with kanoodle and getting thousands in business. No, I don't have any affiliation with kanoodle. Just FYI.
We need MORE solar power to solve our energy woes. That's why I'm proposing a giant magnifying glass to boil the oceans, and produce clean, efficient steam to power generators. The bonus is we can catch fresh COOKED fish and won't have to worry about natural gas for our stoves.
I was looking at the sat photos of Washington DC, and they intentionally obscured the US capitol. How long before this happens with other major targets/landmarks and the usefulness of this feature degrades?
1. Sell music to users 2. Allow them to share for those who have paid for it. 3. Spend every minute of every day refunding money when they downloaded a mislabeled tune on the P2P network. 4. ???? 5. Profit 6. RUN!
I've read hundreds of posts on slashdot that were wrongly modded down (censored) as trolls because people didn't like what they had to say, and others modded up as 'insightful' with content like 'MS SUCKS' and nothing else to say. Now this community is bitching about China?!! The looking glass is a mirror.
If I hear we need to protect the children one more fucking time, I'm going to get an offshore hosting account and make the most obscene material I can find available to them. Let's see what happens when the kids find out their mom was in a german scheisse film.
My uni had the same problem, but that's because a few of us went and compiled linux kernels after our assignments were done. The result: a higher point on the belle curve for moi!
The answer to spam isn't going after the spammers. It's going after a) those who push their products via spam, and b) the morons who buy their products. That's why I support email viruses via spam. When people are afraid to open an email if they don't know what it is, the market will die. Kill the market and the spam will go away.
and I knew someone who worked in a similar field at a neighboring university. I can say it absolutely depends on the university. If you're getting the idea that they don't have their shit together, avoid them like the plague. This is an indication that you'll never get what you need to do things the right way. Or even the half-assed way. The red tape at large, public universities makes most other government organizations look streamlined and efficient. At most universities, perks like health care and pension are being cut to save money, so you don't even have the benefits like you used to. Trust that feeling in your gut that says you're going to get screwed, because you will.
I was born clairvoyant and was writing PHP code in womb. BTW, if anyone wants I can give you a heads up on Linux 6.6.6 and Windows WTF. Those come out AFTER the apocolypse.
The article last week was a press release type article. Lots of fluff, no content. Now we're getting the content. So it's not really a dupe. More of a late update.

or otherwise try to hide the fact that Intel sold out to corporate interests.
Intel IS a corporate interest. How could they sell out to them? The word you're looking for is 'synergy'.
Does this make anyone else think of the X-Files episode where they created AI by combining 12 different viruses on the net? Scarier still, does this mean that the first AI will appear on Windows!?! And am I just that old of a geek? Oh well, its Friday, give me a beer.
I make bondage furniture. It's a nice side business, as I am a full-time web developer.
Right now, I don't make that much from my site. I gross about $450/month, sometimes more, sometimes less. Off of the $400, I have $200 in materials for products. Another $75-$100 goes to merchant account and credit card processing fees. Another $20 goes to web hosting. Advertising costs ~$100/month.
So at the end of the month, I'm lucky to break even, much less make a profit. I'm not even including the tools that have to be purchased and maintained to make the furniture. Not that it really bothers me, as I started doing it more for love of woodworking (and kinky sex) than for the money.
Even though I have no nudity on my site, as the models are wearing bikinis, I'm primed to be forced to move to a.XXX tld once Congress mandates it. This means I have to repurchase my SSL cert (I'm sure they'll charge more for those too), register a.XXX tld, rebuild my link campaign, etc.
Well to hell with that. If Congress wants to protect the children, make their parents RAISE their children, and not just sit them in front of the various forms of electronic babysitter they've come to rely on. And before you say you're not home with your kids all of the time, learn about passwords (BIOS and OS) and don't tell your kids what they are. That way they'll have to go to you to get on the net.

No, I'm afraid you have it all wrong. Releasing and then creating is how closed-source companies work, not open-source. And no, I'm going to take the high road and not provide 50 vaporware links.

So I'm running an MS product, but I'm running Win2K because I find XP ridiculous.
I hate MS as much as the next guy. I'm also a US citizen (just FYI). Quite frankly, I don't see any good coming from this. MS can easily afford the fine. 5% of daily sales may as well be a Euro to MS. And if there's one thing I've learned, its that corporations don't pay these fines. Their customers do. MS won't blink at increasing their costs to cover the fine and maintain profit margins. They can do this because they are a MONOPOLY! For the fine to be meaningful, I think it has to be on the order of 90%. I'm sure they'd find a way to unbundle real quickly then. Look at tobacco companies in the US. They didn't even consider changing their practices until the lawsuits started costing them billions per fiscal quarter.
I could be wrong. But I truly believe those rat bastards will find a way to pass the costs onto the consumer.

BTW, -1 as a troll. To hell with my karma.
Only an idiot would aim for a job with shrinking pay and demand, while outsourcing is increasing. I should know. We can smell our own.
1. Send emails to idiots.
2. Wait for their response and info.
3. Profit!!
Best part is, they'll be afraid to open their emails in the future, hence stopping the spread of virii. Social darwinism wins again!

It's actually their assholyness, because they have their head up their ass, all the while thinking they're God.

letting Dell sell computers featuring OSX would actual water down their brand, which I don't think they are willing to do
