Why does'nt www.hotmail.com anti-spam features work? Surely Microsoft can afford to employ decent anti spamming technology, or is there a reason their supporting it?
With all of these linking issues, think NPR controversy, has Google ever been sued for trawling a website for which the owners did'nt want indexing, assuming they don't know of disabling the robot.
I applied for to Google Japan and did'nt receive a reply. I then posted a followup and still did'nt receive a reply. Surely, it's courteous to reject candidates as opposed to ignoring their applications.
Is Google really a great place to work in, or is there a lot of hype going on about what a great place it is to work in.
Please correct this misconception I have as from what i've read, it seems a fantastic environment.
Just because we have better window managers that does'nt mean at the core that more people understand the internals.
RPM is better than no packagaing system, and saves time, but with all software there is and always be caveats.
Overall i'm quite happy with it, some minor tweaking like better handling of dependency's would be good, but I think the article takes it too far.
Instead of putting down 1 system, why not work on something more important like package management convergence, either we all move to RPM or all to something different.
The reply's here have been patchetic to say the least. Have as much hardware as you like.
What is important is your relationship, not how many Ferrari's, or Pentium's you have. If you really love each other, then this stuff does'nt matter in the least. I wonder if it's an excuse for a problem with your relationship that either of you have.
This would be funny in Dilbert, but the funniest things of course come from reality. I think political correctness has finally caught up with the personal computer.
If "near crime" becomes a crime, then what constitutes a non-crime. This whole approach stinks of politics.
Switzerland is split into 26 cantons. The cantonal lnaguage varies, some for some it is French, some German, some Italian. Most Swiss people are tri lingual and some even quad lingual!
You need a class B or C permit to work in Switzerland which can be a little tricky, and contract to popular belief you don't need a degree to obtain one.
The Swiss economy like elsewhere is very tight.
Be very careful over moving to a foreign land without a job, I would recommend extreme caution, how safe is her job for example, what about savings how long will they last, do you speak other languages, you may have to work in a neighbour country in a worse case scenario.
TV for expatriates is mostly crap anyway, videos and divx should suffice, but if your moving for better TV then your going for the wrong reasons.
I've yet to see a good Swiss recruitment website, so hunting is somewhat more difficult.
Prepare for a tough challenge ahead, I wish you the best of luck!
I find this corporate management personally insulting, when Scott McNeally et all Executive team don't abide by their own manegement policy's.
Not only does this set a bad example, it displays the difference in mentality.Furthermore this platform approach is what pulls companies apart.
What about a vote asking employees if they want this, and what they think about it? What about programmers with many heavy duty reference books on their desks? This decreases productivity but saves workspacing costs, what would you rather have? In the long term the productivity cost far outweigh the workspace costs.
Sell your Sun shares, becuase their going to be worthless.
Is Linux support part of IBM's professional services and if so can this be explained in some more detail. I'm sure there are many qualified people who would and could make a lifelong career here, but IBM being the huge monolith it is, makes it difficult to know whose door to knock on.
Difficult question to answer, from a purely European perspective, yes the money is more, however your often worked / tasked more, and have to spend more time running a company. From experience this is'nt very interesting, it's far better to join what we call an Umbrella company here if you want to "contract" so that a bunch of contractors are part of 1 organisation and the accounts, legal advice, payroll is all dealt in 1 go and you just withdraw salary.
Overall I think a permanent company is better, everyone gets the job itch some more than others. My advice is to work it out and work with your employer.
Several people have mentioned increased pressure, this is true, your generally so busy working then when you get home you have to run a business as well, this eats into your social time too!
One area that everyone ignores when talking about this is loneliness. Contractors can sometimes be seen as outsiders in some companies, depends upon where you work, being ostracised by who are effectively your colleagues can be rather frustrating, its not you, but what you represent they dislike, the guy on more money, with the flashy laptop. It can be ok for a while but does become very tiring after some time, you have to sort yourself out, why are you contracting, for the money, to make friends or for the experience?
One last issue I want to highlight when you study this, is accountants. They are thieving bast**ds, costly, obfuscate what should be simple taxation policy in Klingon, and what surprised me most of all, is that they do make mistakes more often, however won't admit to it. I can't say how best to deal with them, but it's all part of the experience of running a company, prepare to carry some battles.
Ok now really the last thing, get what we call Professional Indemnity Insurance, this should protect you when someone brings up the
"we really don't want to involve the lawyers"
talk which seems to be a scare management strategy that crops up a lot, be prepared, you never know what is around the corner.
One other thing, market economics. Bad market, hard to get work, no contract, no clients, no income, have a large cash pile reserved, DO NOT SPEND IT ALL, save and plan for trips and bumps, and this will lessen the fall.

The amount of PC's is not impressive, the amount of education put into using the PC's would be impressive to utilise them to a greater extent.
When will a "mozilla compatible" Google Toolbar be made available and what can we do to help with this project.
When will a "Konqueror compatible"

So does that include my Goldfish and Parrot disrupting p2p?
Anyone do this? This creates a
$ sudo checkinstall make install
This will piss people off, but I stand by it.
RPM is for experts
Linux is for experts.

RPM is better than no packagaing system, and saves time, but with all software there is and always be caveats.

ok it appears the RPM's for 1.1 alpha are non-existant, anyone be kind enough to provide them?
Sigh, come on mozilla, be the team we want you to be.
I suppose this means the KPNQwest Traveller service will also be disbanded which personally effects even more people.

And a letter of motivation is needed from a recruitment agency and the company for the work permit.
Near crime and Nethics ..

With all of this investment in Linux, does IBM put it's money where it's PR is and utilise Linux on the desktop and servers worldwide?
If you can stand it, there are lots of SAP positions going worldwide, and the salaries are generally the highest in the industry.
Talking of which does anyone have a complete list of p2p ports that all p2p programs use?
It's about reliability and speed of SCSI.
I've just done Cowboy Bebop, I would also recommend watching the entire Evangelion series.
Happy New year folks.

Good adventures!
Time for a public boycott of all products, about time they listened to the little guy.
Who cares, XP does'nt work anyway so no one uses it.
