...promote their IPO on their main website? So far, they don't appear to be doing this... but wouldn't that pump up the price quickly? (IANA stock broker)
It might make sense (for patent holders) to make reverse engineering illegal. But open source seems to nullify this tactic. After all, once the trick behind the invention is discovered, and published, one cannot really "put the genie back in the bottle," so to speak.
Everything else I use is built into Windows, like Calculator, Windows Explorer, etc.
Largest domain selling amount?

For Sale: Lycos.com

I read once that business.com got the largest amount of money for being sold at something like eight million US dollars. If lycos.com came anywhere close to the 200,000,000 mark, that would be some kind of crazy record.
I really doubt the/. editors care if you block the ads or not. They might appreciate a subscription, but they probably don't care too much about that either.
Perhaps, but this is exactly the problem in the first place. Apathy is not a favorable quality in writers, editors, businesspeople, or web developers.
...royalty free, open source, free video format sure would be nice. Something that could dynamically detect one's streaming speed capability would be nice too instead of these kludgey "100 K, 300 K, 500 K" options. I heard a long while back that the Ogg Vorbis people were working on an open video standard, but haven't heard anything new since. Anyone know of updates?
We did NOT demo Doom. People were playing that because some of the machines didn't have good enough 3D acceleration (i.e. no nvidia cards) to run the other games.
Are NVIDIA cards favored (over ATI) by Linux gamers because of better driver support? I have to admit that I am out of late on the latest on this front. Thanks.
I apologize for the off topic comment, but this is something that I think gets censored or at least ignored too often on this site.
Correct grammar and competent editing by Slashdot editors in general is important for at least two reasons I can think of off the top of my head:
Slashdot is seen as a representative of the open source movement, and Linux in particular. Whether this is fair or not is beside the point. Professional writing would go a long way toward open source being taken more seriously.
Do Slashdot editors want my money for a subscription, or at the very least want me to stop blocking their ads? Well, let's see something approaching journalistic standards then.
This sounds like solid reasoning. However, I like living in the city too much, so I'd need to buy a car and learn to love commuting to make it work.:-( Plus, I don't want to move away from my girlfriend. I guess it depends on how desperate one gets.
Or few requirements but boring work and embarrasingly low pay
So as a university graduate this summer, I want to move above my current $10/hr, part-time, low-challenge job. But I don't yet have the experience for the jobs in that first category.
Any other areas of the country that are like this? Any recent or so-to-be college grads like me out there?
I'm definitely willing to broaden my possibilities to outside of IT, despite the facts that I love computers and have over five years of solid experience. I think I can still say: at least $9/hr and no call centers, though. Right? I hope.
