Two weeks may be the general policy, but there must be exceptions.
I know there is definitely some delay, but the house that I bought was listed on realtor.com about four days after it was listed in the MLS service. The only reason I know when it was listed in the MLS service is that our realtor gave use the MLS printout that says "for realtors only", which had a whole lot of useful info on it.
I think they will have to be real-time with the MLSs to really start to be useful (at least in hot housing markets).
Hmm, that's weird because we use Exchange (5.5 SP1 I believe) at work, and I constantly use addresses like mylogin+maillist@mycompany.com without any trouble.
Are there some specific cases you've had trouble with, or was that just a chance to bash Microsoft?
Hey, wow I guess all the CPU designers at Intel must not be "real" engineers either. They obviously can't predict with 100 percent accuracy what their chips will do before making them, or they wouldn't need BIOS-writable microcode segments would they?
Also, I guess real engineers type with perfect accuracy as well. Interesting.
Hmm, what do you use for wireless on just a CF card? The only things I've seen require plugging into a cell phone (gee that's not unwieldy or anything).
Would you please point us to some of your enlightening journal articles on the subject?
I know I just hate it when those Harvard Med lackeys try to snow everyone like this. Clearly their experiment must be invalid because the results don't agree with your hypothesis on what should have happened.
I can see it now. By the same "logic" applied in this bill, the next time a politician lies, calls someone an a**hole, etc at a press conference, they can just say "Sorry, I own the copyright to that quote and you can't reproduce it without my express written permission"
Isn't the whole point of universities to share knowledge anyway?
And just who do those stupid regents of the UC system think is footing the bill for all those classes anyway? It sure isn't them.
Actually, I don't think they really have to even bother hiding where they get their money for the most part. That's what is scary.
Most of the big money for commercials and such comes from the party organizations, who can accept as much as they want from pretty much anyone
I don't think the "real" records would be that much different than what's already available at a place like this
"...but if this gets moderated down it'll show once and for all that the regulars that visit this site are well blinkered towards Linux/Open source and really can't see the real world.

Actually it will just mean that you are a troll, who can't make himself not a troll by saying "I'm not a troll."
"It really is not that big of a deal if some little kids get to see some porno. I can guarantee that almost everyone(especially guys) got to see porno on more than one occasion before he(or she) turned 18."
Um, I hate to have to remind you of this, but just because a lot of people (even most) experience something, does not mean there is no negative effect.
For instance, I bet that all the people living in and around the Chernobyl area for a certain time period were exposed to unhealthy amounts of radiation. But, since they all were exposed, it's not a big deal right?
While these new CPU's may not have the horsepower to compete head to head against AMD or Intel's best in a pure CPU comparison, they could certainly take advantage of the fact that Via is probably the premier mobo chipset manufacturer right now.
You could get some amazingly small form factor, power machines if they smash their mobo chipset, the CPU, and say a graphics chip into one big "Slot-1"-sized unit.
Maybe they could out make the guts of a machine to out-"cube" Apple, if it's really as low power as the article makes it sound.
Interestingly, while there is a lot of hype about Java servlets, and, they are not inherently evel like applets, a quick survey of top websites will reveal a pretty unanimous consensus.
..snip.. ridiculously biased results for "top" web sites..snip..
I know this has got to be a troll, but what definition do you use for "top" websites. Anything run by andover.net maybe?
I'm guessing most people consider, oh I don't know say, yahoo.com, microsoft.com, and wsj.com pretty major sites that don't fit so nicely into your few choices.
And PHP??, puhleeze. I'd be surprised if they have more than single digit market share.
the hardware is the same, the only thing that can slow a game down is gross incompetence on the part of the driver writer/game coder. NOT the OS
I assume you must put yourself in the "not even up to gross incompetence" level. If not, what video hardware have you written multiple-platform drivers for and not seen any performance differences because you made those "basic optimizations"?
This stuff is not as easy as it looks; I'm impressed things are as good as they are.
Unfortunately, between Bill and a lot of the extremely law enforcem... -errr- invasion of privacy proponents we have in Congress, a lot of his proposals may make it into some laws.
How hypocritical is it to supposedly be in favor of a ban on Internet taxes and yet support taking away peoples rights on said Internet?
He's probably just tired of of all those p*rn postings from "bill.clinton@whitehouse.gov", especially the ones that aren't from him.:)
Maybe you can explain how you can get a "legitimate" copy of a piece of software from, say, Microsoft installed on your computer without having agreed to the license in the first place.
You say that you already have the right to do stuff with the software once you've "legitimately obtained" it. The way I see it, the only way to do that is to obtain it via Microsoft-approved means. If all of those means require agreeing to the EULA, then you're pretty much up a creek right?
While it may be true that companies just use "temp" workers to improve the appearance of the bottom line, it's not all bad.
For one thing, nobody holds a gun to someones head forcing them to stay at a job (especially in the case of a technical company like MSFT, there are tons of jobs). By definition, temps are not really under any kind of contractual obligation to the company (the placement agency might be though).
From a personal perspective, I would be sad to see the "temp" internship go the way of the dodo. The main reason I have my job as a permanent employee now is because I spent a year and half right out of school (actually partially during school) as a temp for them, learning the ropes. While it did suck to not be in on the stock options and other benefits, it gave me a chance to see that I really liked the company, and it gave thema a chance to see what a great employee I could be.

Hmm, I take it you must think private investigators should be illegal. Hey, maybe photo-journalism should be outlawed too. Oh and certainly those cops in the Rodney King case should have been offended at the violation of their rights caused by a person videotaping their public actions.
Give me a break.
If you put something out in public, you implicitly give people the right to look at it.
I think it's a line from "The Firm" (or some other John Grisham-y book/movie) where the FBI goes: "Are you kidding? We're the FBI. I can kick in your teeth and yank 'em out your ass, and I'm not even violating your civil rights!"
Well maybe a call to England is a bad example because there like would be tariffs between multiple carriers, but in cases where it is a single carrier, say local long distance (don't you just love that term) from an RBOC, the marginal cost of "my" phone call is essentially nothing, assuming they're not a maximum capacity where a stolen phone call is preventing a paying customer from making one. So in that case it really doesn't cost the company anything, but it's still stealing to use the time without paying.
I can't claim it's a "perfect" analogy, since pretty much by definition there is no such thing.
I sure get a kick out of how people get all defensive when the obvious fact that they are stealing is pointed out to them.
First of all, if you listen only to net "radio" stations that have a right and license to broadcast all of the music they use, then great, no problem. However, if your are listening to streaming broadcasts of illegally distributed MP3 files, then you are just as guilty as the person broadcasting (at least for a moral, if not legal perspective).
Some of the other arguments are even more laughable though. The idea that only food, cars, etc can be stolen, is pretty funny. I mean, why should taking food count as stealing. It's way overpriced (just like software and music supposedly are), and people need food a lot more than they need music and software.
Or how 'bout the "I wouldn't buy it anyway, because I don't have the money" argument. This is just as funny. There are lots of things I can't afford, but that doesn't mean I can just take them if I want them. I would love to be able to talk to the people I know in England any time I feel like it, but I can't afford to. Since there's no way I would actually pay for all that phone time, it's OK for me to just steal it, right?
People get it through your head! Just because the reproduction cost of something is basically free does not mean you can justify stealing it.
Slashdot Mirror
Find an executable file somewhere in the explorer interface of your Windows 2000 machine (e.g. on the desktop).
Shift-Right Click on the file and select "Run As..."
You can then type in the username and password of the account you want to use to run the executable.
It's handy for doing things like running something that needs to be an admin, without logging out and back in.
It could also be used for the purposes discussed here, but you would need still need to worry about locking the account down somewhat.

Actually, they might possibly be made to run Windows CE. I believe there is an ARM port of that.
But then, why would you want to run an even more crippled version of Win32 on a full-size box.?

Yes, I would have to say that keeping your opinions to yourself by posting them in a widely read public forum is indeed a novel approach.
Judging solely from this post, you know extremely little about the Christianity, biology, or really any topic addressed.
Comparing natural childbirth to the act of creating something from nothing is obviously pointless.
Plus, if we lived by your rules, why have CPR? Once someone stops breathing, they're dead, right? We may as well just displose of the body.
