Genuinely enthusiastic teaching staff. Pay them what they deserve, subsidise their accommodation, anything that will lead to them becoming motivated imparters of insights rather than jaded and uninterested people.
A friend of mine explained to me that in his country being a teacher has far more kudos than it does in, say, the UK or the US. There's an immense respect there for those that educate the adults of tomorrow, greater than that felt for someone who runs their own business.
This situation is almost entirely reversed in several other places, where doing the most banal job but being able to say you're a self-employed businessman seems, paradoxically, far more prestigious. Somehow the teaching profession needs to be made to seem an attractive option once more.
What annoyed me most was the "No Duct Tape on Mars?" concept. If you're striving for photo-realistic horror, then at least give players the opportunity to be able to see something. Or shoot. Maybe both?
This is an ingenious mod. Seriously - in my view, the main reason Doom 3 was such a poor game was the fact that you could see *nothing* without the flashlight. Who cares about the super new graphics engine if you're barely given an opportunity to take a look at the environment?
He registered the domain one month before the trademark application was granted - 7th November 2000 vs 6th December 2000.
The trademark request would have been made before then, and it is likely he would have had some awareness of the domain's incipient value. Late last year he attempted, unsuccessfully, to sell the domain to Napster, and then asked Apple for $50,000 to transfer it.
Big corporations tend to triumph in these ownership situations - in a related dispute Apple was able to regain control of iTunes.co.uk from someone who was basically cybersquatting.
I do wonder what a private individual would be able to do in a position where someone has registered a typo version of their own domain for malicious intent. I suspect it would be a lot more difficult.
But since the article is trying to make a contrast and a comment on a growing trend, it seems to make a lot more sense if you read it as Japan being behind the US.
If you're set on using a subjunctive, it would have to be 'Could the company make money if it were to release its products for free?'
The subjunctive can't be used in any other way in this tense and context - the parent poster's attempt to do so makes his knowledge of grammar seem even more flawed than the omission of that comma he is so gleefully mocking. There's no need to look for complications when there aren't any.
Ermm, no. It makes perfect sense as it stands - it would only be 'were available for free' if the main verb was a conditional, i.e. How could a company make money...?
The question about making money is referring to the present - the same point at which the products are hypothetically available for free. English isn't a language where every 'if' clause takes a subjunctive. This sentence isn't expressing doubt or disbelief; it's a condition posed as a question.
This doesn't seem like a malicious feature intended to force users to visit certain sites whenever Google should so choose: users don't have to download the toolbar or use the feature. The fact that people use the Google toolbar in the first place suggests that they appreciate the usability enhancements it offers, and auto-linking is more likely to help than hinder.
Google Maps, for example, is the most user-friendly map service around, and it's a choice that most people would make anyway. The same argument could be made about Amazon.
I think they did this to drum up interest in Exeem, their next generation torrent p2p client, which makes everyone a tracker. It's in private beta testing right now, so only 5000 users allowed on it.

GEarth. Say it aloud...one word!
GMaps also functions as a taster for Google Earth Pro and Plus, both payware (although there is a free version.)
Now if only there was some way to download "normal" TV shows...

Ahh, the SP2 roll-out's not done yet.
Sperm count matter much to you?

Cynical profiteering? I think so.

Sites that let you enter your name/URL/email/etc and show it without verifying you're you are lame.
On the other:
Somebody could run their own identity server that says they're http://spammer.example.com/000001/ all the way to http://spammer.example.com/999999/ and that's not a goal of this system to prevent.
If anyone can run their own identity server, then why use this rather than a (probably more user-friendly) Captcha system?

So when you've found the relevant weakness you stop short of investigating or publicising it?
he create "awareness" about Terrorism.
Unlike terrorism, knowledge of which is barely non-existent, operating systems are considerably more esoteric.
They evidently saw his skills in identifying and essentially publicising weaknesses in the operating system in a positive light.
Perhaps he ought to be congratulated to some extent for this - Windows is now (barely) more secure.
Why bother with a translucent GUI when you can have transparent ones today?
I read the title as 'Google Search Causes Outrage'. And it probably did :)
What original source code would there be? A link to the PearPC site would accomplish exactly the same thing.

This is essentially old news. Microsoft's Anti-Spyware software is just Giant's rebranded.
That's a bizarre number one seatch query seeing as she hasn't really done much musically all year. All she did was get married.
Unless Google's image search data was included...

Exeem, anybody?
Did anyone else find the flickering red dot more interesting than the tiny view of the moon?
