Actually it *is* about having PHP (multi-process *nix background) run better on Windows (multi-threaded environment).
It's about MSFT being whipped in the hosting business (despite GoDaddy) and losing servers at the Workgroups level. I don't think it will help them much, but it might.
I am an unsatisfied Jajah customer and can assure you that the call is most definitely *not* free for both sides. You are either: 1) a Jajah marketing droid 2) ignorant of the telecoms industry and that little inconvenience called a "termination charge" 3) both

Both of these services suck big time and are only really worth it if you have a big monthly minutes package on your mobile.
In terms of usability Jajah is marginally better (at least you don't have to give everyone your new number) but the call quality is so bad it's virtually unusable.
In any case the calls are not free. So stop posting crap. That goes for the guy who posted the story in the frist place (ironic intentional typo).
If you want free calls use Skype on from your PC to another PC (people replying to this, please don't pretend anybody you know uses the Gizmo project).
Yes. The big assumption comes at the end of the article:
"the leading open source object database db4o"
db4o is the database which the least amount of people have heard of. We lead in small market share! It's great to lead and I love it when engineers try marketing:-P
>The displaced, post-Holocaust Jews could have found safe haven in most of Europe, the United States...the Bahamas...hell, anywhere they wanted to go.
Seriously, after WW2, Zionism won by default. Most of the European countries did not want "the Jews" and quite frankly, after what happened from our buddies the enlightened Germans, I'm not sure we'd have wanted to have to depend on the mercy of strangers again. Nation states didn't and still don't like minorities.
> This was done knowing full well that it would destabilize the Middle East, and that it would invite the ire of no less than 13 other nations in the region that were different from the Jews culturally, religiously, and ethnically.
What nations? Arabs? Ottoman Empire provinces? These are all the same Sunni Arab peoples (yes there are other Druze, Christian and Shia minorities, but they were largely uninfluential) and some "nations" were created by giving Hashemite brothers Kingships (Iraq (2), Jordan, Saudi).
The notion of populare political movements, mass media and political representation all comes quite a bit later - when you say "invite the ire" it was really what the king says goes. Incidentally, King Abdullah of Jordan was friendly with the Zionists and this was one of the reasons why he was killed. The populations weren't (and still aren't in most cases) that important to the realpolitik.
Just because the Sykes-Picot treaty happened to draw some arbitrary borders and impose the 19th century model of a European nation state on the Middle East doesn't mean they were independent nations any more than New York and Colorado are. Much of the population was semi-nomadic, even the Palestinian leadership sold land to the Zionists (no not all of the land was purchased, there was a war) - i.e. you're omitting a lot of important details.
> This was made possible only through U.S. military support.
No, first it was clandestine Czech arms purchases, then the French were our major supplier and only after 1967 did the US get in the game as the US wanted winners to be seen to use US weapons (so that they could use weapons "aid" to buy allies against the Soviets). US did give political support, but the arms came much later.

Oil prices would spike, violence would escalate, 2 countries would be further destabilized... > It's happening already.
Small points of light are that: - Iran has little oil refining capability and needs to export it via other countries (via the Straits of Hormuz....) even for domestic use - Rafsanjani has personal business interests in refined oil importation
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any figures for those 2 nuggets, but they've been quoted many times and by Iranian bloggers (guessing they know more about Iran then we do) - maybe someone more deft with Google can attach some relevant links
lolz, that's just ridiculous. imagine a tunnel with the whole Atlantic ocean on top of it. You can't! It would just collapse under the weight. Even if it was made of metal!
But seriously, airplanes don't have to worry about tectonic plate drift
And on a slightly unrelated note...was it just me, or did Steal This Film fail to make any good justifications for piracy?
I'm with you on this one. I watched the whole lot and the quotes were all from people in the street who offered very shallow justifications, if any.
None of them backed themselves up with anything more than "copyright is against my morals" (WTF?) or "it's going to happen anyway" (yay for the moral collective consciousness of the internet!). Dan Glickman also didn't sound compelling. In short, it was an interesting movie about Pirate Bay, and how small countries can be pushed around by large ones (what's new?), but other than that, it was just a piece of propaganda/ advertising (which is why it is given away for free!)
Yes and it's horrible. I used to do Filemaker work which was so much easier to work with and reuse than Excel. However, when every computer has Excel on and Filemaker is an extra 250 USD per seat (or was something like that) it was a big fight.
As someone who both lives and votes in Israel, I call bullshit on this one.
Not wishing to confuse you with the facts as your mind is already made up, but:
The leaderships of Israel and the US don't exactly qualify as sane but even they might reconsider attacking a nuclear armed state.
Israeli leadership is not insane. Amateur perhaps, but definitely not insane.
Never underestimate the blind arrogance of religious zealotry.
No shortage of that with the Israeli and US Governments right now.
This is just laughable nonsense. The current Israeli government is made up of secular and traditional Jews. The only party in the current coalition which could qualify as religious zealots are Shas who are a centrist party and do not lead government policy in any way. In fact their support enabled Rabin to push the Oslo Peace Process with the Palestinians 12 years ago. There are less religious zealots in the current Israeli government than there have been for a long time.
Actually the people doing the luggage inspection aren't El Al employees, and the majority of them are young girls. Normally I just go right through (I fly a lot and they know who you are before you even set foot in the airport), but one time (not in band camp) this nervous security girl gave me a real grilling, so I asked her if she was new in the job. She got very upset, they don't like it when you ask them the questions.
It's all being designed around the TV & Hifi rather than around the Computer.
I have a 12" Powerbook and an Airport Express. It's good enough.
I don't need another computer/hub I just want to be able to stream wirelessly from the computer to the TV. I do it with Audio now, just not so easily with video.
In your idea you also want to be able to stream back to the computer and capture (with real time mpeg4 encoding please!), but to me it seems like a beefed up Airport Express (extra ports and a chip for the video en/decoding).
OK, I'll probably cook my testacles (both the heat and the microwaves - brings a new meaning to TV dinners!), but it's easier to manage than some cumbersome new remote control.

Cool, hopefully it's like http://www.projectblackdog.com/ but on an iPod with Mac OS X. That would be fabulous.

Actually, we're all doomed in any case:

Yes, this is true. All geeks I ever met were fighting for world unity. None of them ever worked in the military or had done.
Most of them hadn't studied any social science and so complex social systems were not as favoured as "scientific" generalizations.
Still, believe whatever romantic notions you like.
Microsoft has plenty of our soles. (I think I spelled that right?)
Bill, is that you?
Hi, I work in sales.
:-)
Which company are you working at and can you please send me the phone number of the CTO? I'd like to set up a meeting.
Thanks
nah, he'll try to take down NepTunes for trademark infringement.
With Steve Jobs on the Disney board, what is the likelihood of him destroying Pluto?
Personally I was wondering what the officer's boss told him:
"I don't care how you do it, don't phone me again until you have Dicks in your hands..."
lolz, that's just ridiculous. imagine a tunnel with the whole Atlantic ocean on top of it. You can't! It would just collapse under the weight. Even if it was made of metal!
