You should consider Eire. It's not in the EU and it's business-friendly.
*Not* in the EU ? So the EU subsidies Eire wisely used to stimulate its economy, not to mention its switch to the Euro, were just scams ? Those sneaky Irish buggers !
While I don't like the idea of my employer snooping on my emails, at least for the nature of the business I work in, I can see how it may make some sense.
For personal emails, though, I can use my Treo 600 and I have complete privacy, from my employer at least, and no issues about crossing the "private use of company internet" boundary.
There is a difference between keeping the emails to hand them over for legal reasons and reading every word of every email that goes by, "just in case".
Depends on where you work of course, but in the Financial Services industries, emails are actively monitored (usually by a machine) to ensure compliance with the various regulations.
The Gmail implementation of POP3 is *the* most innovative I have ever seen. It's like having a shuffle feature on your inbox - just never know which 2 month old messages will make an appearance today.
There is no talent in here. George Lucas was simply not good enough a director to make these prequels worth watching, let alone enjoyable. The same thing happened with the Matrix Trilogy, brilliant at first but then spoiled by the greed of the Wachowsky Brothers who couldn't handle the breadth of what they had started. Many praise to Peter Jackson built his trilogy with true genius.
Of course, Jackson was directing what was already a classic set of novels. Lucas and the Matrix Bros were having to try and write the novels too.
This new stuff looks pretty but feels like I'm in a rendered video game. The colors are too pastel and not real enough. In some ways we've gone backwards going to digital. I'm sure it will get better, but it feels as if we are going backwards IMHO.
My thought's exactly. There were a number of 100% CGI scenes where I was left thinking "that would look great on my PSP, but it sucks on the big screen." Roger Rabbit animations worked better for me.
FYI, the WEP key for those 2WIRE### DSL modem/routers is "2wire". My sister had one for a few days in Los Angeles and sent it back after it couldn't keep link for more than a few seconds. That key has worked in numerous DSL-equipped neighborhoods.
Not on mine, it wasn't. I received mine a couple of months ago, so maybe things have tightened up. Although some of the default settings are pretty horrible.
OK, reality check now people! Linux is a competitor to Sun. It competes with Solaris. Sun would not want RedHat (main Linux distro cited by Sun people as "the enemy") to have Java.
SuSE worked great for me too. In fact, timewise, it took longer to defrag and repartition my drive than it did to actually install it on my Inspiron 8100.
I pay $10 per month unlimited data on my CDMA phone in the US. Sprint PCS still offers unlimited for $15, which isn't outrageous. I can stream Virign Radio over the net and play it on MMPlayer without any problems. Of course, this isn't on a Symbian device.
Kelly was cynically used by the BBC and Andrew Gilligan. They sucessfully made him into the issue to conceal the fact the ulterior motive behind spinning his word - namely to damage Blair.
Or maybe, Blair and his cronies hung him out to dry to deflect from their troubles. Kelly's interview, recently aired on the BBC certainly doesn't tie up with Blair's spin.

Even Dr. Dobbs has been dumbed down since its "Computer Calisthenics" era. Long gone are the days when I cut my teeth on complete listings for Pascal Compilers and the like.
When I used H&R Block Premium a couple of years ago, they made a slight mistake. However, they paid the penalty, they paid the outstanding tax owed to NY State, *and* they gave me some cash as compensation (on the basis I wouldn't sue, of course).
Not quite. But 2 guys doing the Complete Works of Shakespeare, The Bible, The Complete History of America etc. are pretty impressive. I saw them do the Shakspeare one a few years back - very funny.
They concentrate entirely on Hamlet in Act 2, leaving all the other works to be performed in Act 1.

I had to maintain some C code and came across the comment:
/* I don't know why this works, but it does */
Turns out the guy went on a C training course, but missed the last day. Didn't stop him from cutting and pasting code he didn't understand, though.

I will admit text messaging is marginally useful, however, sprint (whose the devil) charges *$10 month* for unlimited text messaging ... HOLY SHIT!
You're being seriously ripped off. My Sprint plan is $10 per month unlimited data, unlimited text and vision services.

That's kind of offensive to me. In VERY rural areas I'm talking less than 4,000 people your comment holds some weight.
And I'm sure that for the inhaibtants of VERY rural areas of less than 4000, your comments are equally offensive to them.

Competitor as in, Sun offers linux products ?

"I was surprised when I found out about the Post Office - gas I can understand for gas leaks etc."
I believe the Post Office access rights date back to the days when they ran the telephone service.
Another good thing about the BBC is they can (and do) regularly use the word "fuck" without the need for really clever asterisk censorship.
Actually, I think the DVD sales help subsidise the cost of the programming and, hence, keeps the cost of license fee down.
The Royal Family is of German stock (apart from Phil the Greek).

Interesting. I didn't think you were allowed to create your own company while you were on an H1-B. I thought you had be be sponsored by a US employer.
