When the interviewer asks you what you would like to be paid, tell him/her : what is the typical range they pay someone in that position at the company.
They will typically give you a range.
You should also value yourself. If you think you're worth 60k, ask for 65k.
Also don't ever settle for something low. There are always jobs to be found somewhere.
This is perhaps the stupidest thing John Dvorak has wrote. He's like the Ann Coulter of the computer industry.
Anyway, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows have very different user interface design philosophies. I find that when I use Mac OS X, I can do some tasks a lot faster because of the extra effort that Apple and the developers have to think out.
On Windows, I find that I have to go through extra steps in order to do something that would have taken me a few drag and clicks on a Mac OS X program.
Others have already pointed out that if Apple switched to Windows, it would become a commodity with low margins.
When I first went to a good eye doctor in 2002, she told me that the retina can tell a lot about a person's general health. She claimed she saved several patients lives when she found cholestorol build up in the vessels of the eye.
Nevertheless this is a good nonintrusive way to diagnose someone.
One pet peeve of mine is that people call hard drive space "RAM". In your book you should thoroughly cover the difference between system memory and drive storage.
At this point, if the company goes under or his land depreciates, the guy in question has already recouped his initial investment,
But your point on virtualness is correct. Since these bits are virtual, there is no limit to how much land there is, save the limitations of the technology (disk space, etc)
But as long he can create enough wealth with the current system, he can buy more islands as they pop up, and he will be able to maintain a monopoly of power.
Obviously this guy understood capitalism and the history of the United States. The US was able to become very profitable because it took land from the Native Americans and did something unheard of to the indigenous poeple; put a value on land.
Whoever makes a claim to that land is now able to make money by selling parts of it, and collecting revenues and rent from the use of the land. This will definitely enrich the land owner as long he has the threat of force to enforce his terms.

In 2002, I developed a pinched nerve on my neck that affected my ability to use the mouse with my right hand. I am a natural lefty, so it wasn't too bad to use a right handed mouse on my left hand. However, I decided to get a universal mouse (a Microsoft Optical Mouse that is uniformly shaped) and make it a real left handed mouse where the primary button is on the right side. It took me 3 days of using the mouse left handed to train my hand and mind to get used to the form.
By two weeks, it was natural to use a left handed mouse, and it was a bit confusing to use a right handed mouse with my left hand.
After several months, I got sick of using my mouse left handed and my pinched nerve healed. I decided to switch back to the right hand for the mouse. It took 3 days to get reaccustomed, and now my left hand feels uncomfortable using a mouse set up for lefties.
One good book I recommend for losing weight is The Metabolic Typing Diet by Dr. Walcott. The premise of the book is that people have unique metabolic types that makes dieting more than a matter of simply eating a certain way. There are 3 general kinds of types, the Protein type, the Mixed type, and the Carbohydrate type. Foods can have either a helpful or harmful effect depending on your metabolic type.
Last year around this time in April, I was weighing 192 lbs at 5'8". I was the fattest I have ever been. My clothes which I normally buy a bit larger than usual were starting to feel tight. So I decided I better do something before I reach 200 lbs. I started to do something that everyone should do. EXERCISE! I went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the treadmill. Some days I would do ellipiticals (which are better since they are easier on your joints and give you a good cardiovasuclar workout as well) and I would also do light weight lifting (as a nerd I had below average strength).
I also decided to change my diet as well. I really didn't eat a lot of food, but I did eat candy and some junk food. So I decided to drink more water (I already was in the habit of drinking only water; no juice because juice is too sugary since there is no fibre to slow down the carbo absorption) eat raw vegetables like spinach, broccoli, kale, and other greens. I also ate chicken, and turkey. I made sure I ate three times a day, and if I was hungry, I would eat something with protein or fat, like nuts.
After 8 months I lost 50 lbs and have been the slimmest I've been in my life.
The key is EXERCISE. At least 1 hour day should be ideal, but at least 30 minutes a day for at least 4 days a week.
A good diet is good but it's hard to find what works. Generally, don't eat processed foods, eat fruits, vegetables, and animals. Don't be afraid to eat natural fat. Do be afraid of vegetable fat. Eat organic butter (www.kerrysgold.com). A good diet would make you feel better, and help you look and function your best.
Here is the amazon link to the book. I have recently started to follow the recommendations of the this book, and I have found that I have been eating close to what this book recommends. I have found that foods that I thought were problematic were actually helpful for me, and I have proven it to myself.
If watermarking is optional, only the author of the media should do the tracking of a watermarked song. If the author wants to track usage, he can not since most playback software does not track watermark information.
Paying attention to files on public peer to peer networks and ftp/web servers can be tracked.
I don' think its a bad idea to have a watermark as long it can achieve the following:
Integrity of source Playback on any system
How the watermark can be useful is if it is treated like a serial number not a lockout device. Suppose I am a musician and I want to sell some MP3s. If I can uniquely mark all the songs I sell, I can track which user decided to violate fair use if I see that unique mark on a peer to peer network.
Its for everyone benefit, not just me. Or would you like to see the day where you pay 500 dollars for basic support of a website a year in addition to the 750 dollars a year you already pay for broadband?
If the US pays the military 1.6 trillion dollars a year, why not add an additional billion dollars for Internet services?
Though I do see a problem with congestion though...
If I have to start paying money for every quality website I want to visit, then I might as well just hang out on IRC or other weblogs to find out interesting info and news.
I am already paying for three web sites. I say the people of the US should have their taxes fund the Internet backbones and ISP so that we can maintain somewhat free web access for everyone.
