While that's a popular and reflexive opinion on SlashDot, I find that Fox has some good original programming and some very good sports coverage. I don't watch Fox for political coverage nor for the "talking head" shows so I don't have that particularly axe to grind.
People are nuts. They want the tiniest cell phone possible, and then they want full motion/realtime video on it as well as a huge amount of memory for an MP3 player, add some circuitry for GPS, and whatever else. Do people really want to watch tv on their phone? Maybe this trend has more to do with people never being home because they have to or choose to work insane hours and also run kids back and forth and try to do other things as well. We are a Type A society I suppose. If it's gotten so bad that watching tv on a cell phone seems like a good idea, well, then, it's gotten pretty bad.
The jury might have factored in that he will not serve the whole nine years, especially since it is a non-violent crime. He will mostly likely serve about half of that.
Perhaps they do something like Vonage does where you sign up for 911 service and tell them your physical location. Then, when you dial 911, your call is switched to your local emergency ops office.
MS hasn't lost anything yet and is not likely to lose. Buy paying $500M now they get Novell off their backs for the international case and will probably avoid a much bigger fine down the road. It's a cost of doing business. If they didn't want to pay Novell the $500M they could have tied them up in court until Novell was a penny stock with two employees left. If MS paid out, it's because they have a strategy that makes it worthwhile in the long run.
I don't see how that attitude and position would help the typical young person who wants a rewarding career. I have two boys that will finish their secondary education in the next few years and I could never tell them that some of the brightest people never went to college so don't worry too much about going. My college and graduate degrees have opened doors for me that would have otherwise been closed.
That is true enough. However, a lot of really nice corporate doors are closed to those without a college degree. I see a lot of jobs in the paper and online where a college degree is required to apply. I don't know if that is fair or not. I imagine this policy keeps some good people out, but, in the long wrong, it seems to meet their needs.
It's not wrong because you don't like it. You may wish they had done it differently but it is their game and their money. Besides, it seems to be an academically oriented competition.
Or, you can put in an XP install CD for a completely automated install and have an OS that make you spend most of your waking hours trying to install a printer or a new application.
No, they do not do computer/I.T. Here is their mission statement from their home page:
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is made up of approximately 34,600 civilian and 650 military men and women. Our military and civilian engineers, scientists and other specialists work hand in hand as leaders in engineering and environmental matters. Our diverse workforce of biologists, engineers, geologists, hydrologists, natural resource managers and other professionals meets the demands of changing times and requirements as a vital part of America's Army.
While corporate America likes to outsource overseas, the armed forces do not and they are not likely to allow their contractors to do so either. The last company I worked for handled only military contracts and we couldn't even get clearances for an engineer from India that was in the U.S., much less one that was still in India. For battlefield support, it isn't going to happen.
I would wait a few months before committing this one to the ditches, it might do very well with consumers and since Wal*Mart sells a fair bit of Creative, it might do very well indeed.
Rose said in a statement. "When you have a great idea, you want more than 2 percent of the global market to have access to it.'"
Ya think?
I don't care how much I love Mac's, I would play where ever I could get the most revenue and then go back and port/develop for other platforms as the business model allowed. If you are not in business to make money you may have a hard time staying in business.
If you live in the U.S. you should have a good view. Most astronomy sites say the northen hemisphere in general. On Nov. 9th the moon/Venus/Jupiter will form an impressive triangle worth seeing.
I found this in another article about the same story:
Also on offer, apparently, is the Enterasys Dragon IDS 6.1 intrusion detection system (IDS) software for $16,000 and an old Napster file sharing code, a snip at $10,000.
The original name behind the group was one Larry Hobbles who now seems to have disappeared. The Source Code Club is now said to be hawking a list of other stolen code to anyone who buys one full copy of the source code for sale.
Outsourcing began with the policies of Clinton late in his first term and into his second term. His policies made sense then and they do now. How companies use outsourcing, however, can be a problem for workers. When it gets to the point that companies have laid off enough workers, they will realize that the workers are customers of the economy and without jobs people don't buy much. Outsourcing is not something you can drop at the feet of a president, though.

Save the whale, save Jane Fonda from irate whales, save coupons, save lives at the beach, save old phone books....nah.....
I can't think "Dark Side of the Moon" so somebody else will have to let me know.....

Alot is not a word. The correct usage is "a lot."

Why don't you move to China? They have a space program I bet they are as "anti everything U.S." as you are. A marriage made in heaven.
We used electronic voting in Maryland with a built-in printer that produced a paper ballot as well.

Oh! Can't quite reach those grapes? Ah, they must be sour. Yeah, that's it, sour grapes.

Then AT&T probably has a patent on Using a telephone to conduct business. I will go back to using telepathy until the courts decide this.
If I bought that, I'd have to skip lunch tomorrow.
I suspect they are after attention and notoriety more than money.
