I can tell my boss to fuck off (and regularly do when he starts talking in boss talk) we laugh until we are sick when we are talking water cooler talk. I enjoy the sociopathic / neurotic tendancies of my coworkers who are all completely psychotic.
So all in all work is fun, like running through a mine field while breathing heavilty on laughing gas.
You know what else makes work fun? Feeling good every day that either you did cracked soem great specs / code or at least, if you jerked off all day, you managed a good +5 and/or -1 on slashdot.
oiks. Merry Christmas.

Anyone can bid prices, but the costs you need vary based on how well your ads do.
Useful pages that are well typed to keywords (lemonhead ads for a search for lemon chicken would have to pay more for instance) are good for us, which means good for google, because google want to make more money.
Advertisers are stupid, they want to be top of EVERY SEARCH no matter how useful it is, and they want it cheap.
Google says, the less relevant you are to the search, the higher the click through, the higher the cost.
If you happen to convert your audience, and you now become more relevant, you prices go down.
So if I start selling neckties to skaters, I might have to stump up a bit in the long run, but if I hit a craze, they would go down, until some chump makes his own neck ties and starts bidding above me.
I think it is dumb to make this public, and the guy behind this has an ulterior motive anyway.
Misleading ads change the equation, but what can you do.

I announced my displeasure with the ueber google-gayness of the beatles link in these stories before - and was modded as '-6 tin foil'.
The problem is, if a slashdot page links to starwars dot com with the words 'solo shot first' then this will change the very nature and fabric of the universe, and may actually cause earth quakes and or hurricanes, or at least a small butterfly flapping it's wings might get struck by lightening (deserves it!).
Google is a bit dumb, and I am suprised that slashdot users : viaga, cheap-prescription-drugs, auto-warranty and friends haven't been posting more stories.
I am not 100% happy witht he ghey projects like micro formats to use link voting either (google doesn't AFAIK have the option to non-googlify a link, if it did and/. used it, how many stories would beatles post?) and the fact that the first 100 million lines in the pages about link voting are hippie gay credits for the two guys who set it up makes me wary.

The "it still works fine, why should I upgrade" crowd..
but they are going to miss out on all sorts of cool things, in the name of "it's good enough already." Their loss, not ours.
Why not say: it 1.3 does everything you want it to do then you do not need to upgrade. If you see something you do need (therefore 'it works fine' may not be true for a given value of fine) then upgrade.
Except that is all implicit in the minds of every other reader.

People talked about RSS web server loads versus advertising revenue about 2 years ago on slashdot, so I hardly think people are that stupid.
Also, if every page is (at best - which I doubt in your case) 50Kb - and the AJAX traffic each call is 500bytes - decide if that ajax call saved an entire page refresh (from your site, a page is probably 120Kb, with ads for customer pages can be 200kb..)
So, initial download even at worst (or best) would be 50Kb, each call 500bytes, so you can see the % of overhead is little, and if this call SAVED a refresh then you have saved 49.5p which is good for half a pint on fridays between 12 and 2 at the little willow on hidge street.
I was very impressed with Amazon, who for each book say which phrases and words were particularly unique to that book. (reminds me of that google game where try try and get any two words with only 1 hit).
So show code with coloured background to the lines, from green to red, green being 'normal every day boiler plate' code, red would mean this code must be more specialised, or written by some half-wit l33t h4x0r at least.
I forgot what they called it, but they had 3/4 visible stats based on the semantics of the stuff, probably more under the 'hood (omg lol).

Argue that they will loose all rights to their patents because they are not protecting them if they do release a corporate version.
Microsoft only became popular because of piracy.
I say, Microsoft, don't be soft, force ALL users to pay. I have a DVD with cracked XP's, I run a LEGIT 2000 install on a partition at home.
It will be the last Microsoft I use. For the next 2 years I am sure games will run on win2k.
After that, I am sure they will run on my OSS OS of choice.
You know, where to ships call towards the center, that always seems a bit to complex.
Is this true? I am sure the real first computer game was nothing like what we imagine, it was perhaps a 'numebr guess' game or something.

Does this mean pausing and frame controls are implemented? What am I doing here - I should be downloading this!
oh I am.
By that I mean, what is ubuntu, and what is not ubuntu.
Take the latest unbuntu - how much of it is 'added' to what it was before it was ubuntu (debian right?)
I am curious - all distro's should publish this in details, perhaps a standard format.
Oracle is giving away a mildly crippled version of its DB, I don't remember the exact circumstances
Same flavour jam, but only 1gb ram and 4gb of pr0n db goodness per machine. Probably limited to 2CPU's as well. Or less. Or Maybe no CPU limit.
select * from oracle_customers order by db_size ram_size group by db_size ram_size
