haha, actually I bought in at around 450 around a year ago, and I wanted to bang my head off the wall when I saw it had slipped to 413 (especially after it being at 750 or so). I'm excited that the whole doubleclick thing is going on in general though... it really can't be a bad thing for google because their revenue stream just got much, much more massive. Buy and hold for now... google is a powerhouse company and is well managed... i'm just excited about the whole doubleclick thing. If microsoft's numbers are correct, 80% of online advertising combined with doubleclick's analytic utilities... good things are gonna be happening:)
Forgot to mention, while tracking is a valid concern for end users who are worried about anonymity, again, this really will be a boon to anyone who uses adsense.
In theory it can only help you as an advertiser. By using the beacon, google's robotic voodoo machine can figure out what kinds of stuff a visitor is most likely to click on when he or she visits your site, thus increasing the liklihood of a successful click and maybe even some purchases. The only people who really lose are privacy purists who are terrified that cookies = virii (a common misconception). The fundamental flaw with that logic is of course that to google and other advertisers, you are a potential wallet. It is in their best interest to keep you safe and browsing. Sadly, google hasn't had the best history in not caving to government demands... though nothing quite so bad as the yahoo case where they got a bunch of people thrown into chinese prisons.
Mmmm, your tears sustain me. Cry more, please, cry more. So sweet and salty. You also miss the fact that while google may make its revenue off of ads, it still is not considered an advertising framework and analytics package. Google analytics is nothing compared to doubleclick, which is their primary reason for the acquisition. As mentioned elsewhere in this story's discussion, the analytics are whats important here. Every website makes money off of advertising, google does it with searching. Doubleclick, however, makes their money off of the analytics it offers along with an advertising framework. They are two different things. If you want to say they're the same thing, you may want to ditch the sour grapes and get your head checked.
Nothing. Google's primary business is still being a search engine. Doubleclick is an advertising framework and analytics (hence google wanting to acquire it). Search engine != advertising framework. Therefore they don't compete. Funny how things work just like they're supposed to sometimes.

Please contact the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office about this. I know at least 10 people who have so far. Remember, phone calls and handwritten letters are taken more seriously than emails.
I don't like being spied on. And, the MPAA/RIAA have avoided the rules of due process by a) refusing to disclose methods used to apprehend defendants, b) refusing to identify particular defendants, instead choosing to attack John Does. So,m basically they could point at anyone, say "We know you're guilty, but we won't show how, and we won't really identify you. So you, person we haven't identified, give us 200,000$." We have rights, and I'm tired of the members of our government yielding them to corporations. So anyone who aids these cartels, exactly what the RIAA and MPAA are, will go down in flames. Capische?
Intel's original studies stated that currently raytracing requires too much of a performance hit to be viable. They're expecting it when 8-16 core processors becoming available at a commodity level, and thats at least 2-3 years from now.
As for anti-aliasing, I thought that raytracing removed the need for it entirely because of how graphics are drawn?
They want to deprive us of our privacy, lets start gathering masses of tens of thousands of people and march on Area 51, the Pentagon, and everywhere else the government labels private. Quid pro quo. We can't have privacy, so why should they?
...that will probobly never see the light of day. Its kind of sad how often we see hopefuly cancer treatments that either don't make it through clinical trials or simply vaporize. I can understand the reasoning if they don't make it through clinical trials, but the others... well, I hate to sound jaded, but it *is* more profitable to treat a disease than cure it.
Not to mention this is a virus so rapid mutation is its raison de etre.
Since its painfully apparant that most of you didn't read the RTFA, the customer went through the following steps: A) Contacting microsoft via phone and getting assurance that nothing would happen to the artwork, as well as instructions to ensure that the assurance was met. B) He included a letter with the microsoft including the unit serial number and an explanation of why the case needed to be returned. I can't blame the kid when he was given assurance from the company that his 360 would be returned in tact. Hell, I'd say he should at the very least file a grievance with the BBB, and at most try suing microsoft (its pretty much a slam dunk case these days, everyone is doing it).
I suppose the real lessons are to be a pc gamer, and to not trust a thing microsoft says.
No propane is not free, however if you treat it as a fuel additive and include it in the price, for the increase in miles/gal its still pretty amazing. I'm more concerned with whether adding a fumigator/injector is going to be possible with the hybrid model:) Something about getting a hundred miles per gallon or more just sounds so attractive... my friend's Jetta tdi used to get about 84 miles per gallon with the propane system... throw in the use of electricity and I think you'd be able to get some really nice results.
No, its a waste, plain and simple. They don't tarnish Cisco's name because they're known to be counterfiet. If someone turned around and sold them, sure, that'd be bad. However I personally see no issue of using perfectly good hardware to train prospective students. The hardware is counterfiet, the IOS software on it would not be. It's a waste because it could be used. Throwing away something that can be used is the very definition of waste.
As quoted in V for Vendetta a gun does not matter - bullets do. After a man empties his clip all he has is the hope that the man with the sword doesn't get back up. Because if he does, the man with a gun is as good as dead.

If Microsoft had a factory store that sold copies of windows, yes.

And my google stock has just gone up 20$, and I can only expect it'll keep going up. Thanks for Christmas in march EU :D

anyone know if they're licensed in PA? If not I've got a few hundred friends who will be contacting the state attorney general's office.

I download legal things using p2p software, so if warned I would tell them to bite me.
If that was true there would be no reason for legislation allowing the government to federalize vaccine production.
Real men play nethack.

God, thats such a damn waste :(
At least donate it to a local university or something for CCNA prospectives.
when are they auctioning this stuff off..? I'd love to get me some pods together on the cheap.
A) Can I use biodiesel? B) Can I install a propane injection system like a normal diesel? That could put milage well over 100mpg if you could.
