I claim first dibs on opening the first moon based scrap and recycling shop. I'm pretty sure any old space parts, hunks of refined metals and electronics will fetch a pretty penny at the local moon base!
Heck, with my little space tug I can probably make a pretty good living off of all that old NASA stuff now floating around dead in geosynchronous orbit! Now all I need is a good (not too star warsie) name for the shop.
Hmmm. Age discrimination. That's illegal here in the good old US of A.
You may not pay for relocation but #2 is probably also illegal.
Anyone who puts expected income on their resume is a rookie.
Bingo!
Verizon won't let me use SPA to login and get my mail having a secure account for the internet is moot. I have now had 4 broadband providers and none of them would allow Secure Password Authentication. What's the point of trying to come up with good passwords when your ISP forces you to sent them in plaintext.
Well, can the states regulate TV commercials (for example) and ban all advertizing for drugs again? Since the FCC has dropped the ball on that one and I have to explain why a four hour erection is a bad thing to my 8 year old daughter. I bet the FCC would say it overrides state rule on that one.
If I create an entry in my host file like so: 127.0.0.1 ads.osdn.com 127.0.0.1 clk.atdmt.com
I don't have to install any software to block ads and I don't have to waste CPU cycles animating their ads either. This saving of CPU cycles is expecially vital while playing those CPU munching JAVA games at sites like zylom.com and xgenstudios.com.
Well, plenty of people seem to download it from Bittorrent. Maybe Paramount could realize that they could charge people $1 per episode for a DRM key and Bittorrent the show around the world. Then they wouldn't need any advertizers.
Oops, that would mean embracing the future and digital delivery (kind of like iTunes) and we know THAT isn't going to happen. The new media will sell us what we want to see without commercials, until then expect to see lots of thrashing and pain. I wonder who the next media giant will be because it certainly won't be any of the current ignorant media congomorates?
My issue was with SpamCop but it had the same effect. Since he didn't list his (Since sold to Ironport systems) phone number he was suprised when I called him via his whois listed contact number. It wasn't easy and we were talking about definite opt-in email, which some stupid (l)user was reporting as SPAM. It was very frusterating and caused a huge amount of lost email that generated some very pissed customers.
In my experience, where I have had responsibility for several hundred servers, is that leasing is better. My reasons (in no particular order) are:
- You aren't stuck with old hardware on the floor. (Kit for you limies)
- You can PLAN you lease replacement and hardware ordering months in advance.
- The cost is the same as buying for a three year server lease. After three years no one wants that old (slow) pentium any more and recycling it into a lab gives you an apples to oranges test environment compared to production.
- After 3 years you are approaching MTBF for server components and the cost savings of avoiding downtime could probably buy your server multiple times over.
- You can plan your staff's projects and time accordingly. I can't over emphasize how much of an advantage being able to plan into the future is.:)
- You can touch base with your customers (in advance) to see what their plans for the application(s) hosted on this server are. It gives you an excuse to meet with your customers and discuss their direction. This can be good PR and shows that you want to add value to their organization's product/deliverables. You aren't dictating to them, you are working to provide a good value to the customer, etc., blah, blah...
- You always get MORE POWER from new hardware and usually for a lower cost.
- If older applications don't need the power of new hardware or are being phased out then moving them to VMWARE virtual machines may be a good idea (which can lower your costs).
I'm sure I will think of some more in a few minutes but that is what I can get in 5 minutes.
Get out your sniffer and compare X to ICA on a local LAN and over a international WAN. The ICA protocol is leaner and faster than X in every way, especially if you don't have a local window manager built into your X terminal. ICA also beats the snot out of VNC and pcAnywhere over the LAN and WAN. In fact the further the distance and the smaller the bandwidth the better the ICA protocol is compared to anything else.
Also, IMHO, X still looks a lot like Windows 3.1 graphics. Kind of clunky. The KDE stuff on my Linux box has gotten a bit better with the last couple of releases but I still get some strange artifacts sometimes.
Nuclear weapons do not destroy mass! They convert mass to other forms VEWY VEWY quickly, mostly light and heat that wants to take up about 10 billion times more space than that dirty little bomb.
Does anyone know or has anyone seen a study that states what percentage of America's medical costs go out as profit to Insurance Companies, HMOs, Drug Companies, Pharmacies and every other leech on the medical system? Once you stack the required (by Wall Street or your stock goes down the toilet)10% growth in revenues that each of these companies must post per anum it isn't too hard to see why we have the most expensive medicine in the world.

US patent law is so fscked that patenting in Canada and Europe first is the only way to halfway protect yourself from Uncle Sam.

So it's OK for the band to tell it's audience to violate the DMCA and bypass Sony's protection? I don't think so!
They provide communications services. Something desperately needed there!

If you can't get chicks without money then you will surely get the wrong kind with money.

They just need to rename it to "dilithium crystals" to make it more marketable.
Maybe they should require a year of marketing classes to go along with that physics degree.
I think if it is less hot than the Sun's interior it is "cold".

Voting Machine OS project? Talk about somewhere that Open Source COULD have a major impact. Plus, kick Diebold's a$$ to boot!
