  1. Re:effects on ebay share price tomorrow on Paypal Grinds To A Halt · · Score: 1

    I predict no effect. Ebay stock price movements seem to only rarely follow real life.

  2. Pocket PC input? on Palm One Says They'll Develop Cell-Phone Line · · Score: 1
    I spent an hour searching on google a while ago and I cannot figure out how to enter text on a pocket pc? Does it have a grafitti system like a palm?

    And however the input works, how to people find PDA's compare in the realm of text input?

  3. Re:I own anything on my screen on Breaking Google's DRM · · Score: 1
    No, no, I only own things on my screen. Yes, I believe you do own an image of the mona lisa that appears on your computer screen. Not in a restrictive copyright sense but at the very least ..

    If something appears on my screen once, I have the right to bring that same thing back on my screen at any time in the future.

    That's just what I believe though. Just seems natural. I hope you see how this doesn't imply that anyone can own the pope.

  4. I own anything on my screen on Breaking Google's DRM · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I'm sorry, this is just how I feel. If I can see it, it gets stored in my head, and I have a right to save the original for reference.

    If I can see it, I own it, end of story.

    And really, if you don't want people to see your 'copyrighted' content, don't put it on the internet!

  5. I too have been wondering this same question on Advice on Becoming an Independent Contractor? · · Score: 2

    Here are my questions that I currently find as obstacles. 1. Do I have enough experience? I'm intermediate-advanced level in Python, Visual Basic, and VBA, and SAS. And I'm beginner level on about 20 other languages/technologies that I could pick up quickly. Should I pick up more experience from real jobs first, or do I have enough to get started? 2. Should I invest money now in things like a website, corporate structure, and other business stuff or should I start informally and reinvest small earnings until the business can grow itself? 3. I can't think of a good name. I want something creative and dynanic sounding but I don't want to scare anyone off. 4. Should I represent myself as I would be at first (a guy with moderate expeirience with no previous clients) or should I try to put a spin on things? (make my website make me look more professional than I am, etc) Any answers and advice would be appriciated. Thanks.
