    I know of a company that hires 1 legit green card carrying Mexican and pays him for the work the others do.

    He is payed in cash (taxed too) and then distrubutes out the money to the illegal aliens. Therefore the company never hired any illegal aliens. They just have a spanish speaking worker making $200/hour ....

  10. Re:And it will LEAK 24 hours later! on Microsoft Agrees to License Windows Source Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes but being illegal if its leaked doesn't stop you from downloading Microsoft Office or Windows off your favorite P2P network / torrent site / usenet ....

    However this does bring up a more legite question: "Will Apple have to do the same?" or since darwin is already open source does it matter?

    Bets on when it will be leaked?

  15. Re:When will we not need an MCE box? on Building a Linux Home Media Center · · Score: 1

    I;m currenty building my linux based media server.
    I'm buying a old xbox, throwing Xbox Media Center on it and running one of the many linux based content servers to feed the xbox media over the network. It can even play direct isos and it uses the remote to browse whats on your server.

    I just purchased a 8 port raid 5 sata card so I am going to eventually hit 2 terabytes with it.

    While there were initial problems migrating to Windows, 100% of Hotmail now runs on Windows.

    No wonder hotmail sucks. Then again I am a diehard gmail fan :-p

  17. Legacy Bios Support on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 4, Informative

    They can include support for Legacy BIOS in EFI. If apple includes this option (or if there is a way to flash your bios with legacy bios support) then you WILL be able to boot windows on new mac hardware.

    However 64 bit windows and Longhorn both do / will support EFI so that is always a option (although the current intel chips in the macs are 32bit I believe).

  18. Re:This is just fud on Apple Responds to iTunes Spying Allegations · · Score: 1

    I agree completly. Itunes is completly free. All Apple is trying to do is generate more itunes music store purchases by making the choices more relevant to what your currently listening to.

    Google has done the same thing with adsense by taking what your searching for and displaying adds relevant to what your looking for.

    This will blow over real soon as its not a big deal. If you really care about it, I would suggest disabling the feature or using a product from a company / group that is not trying to make a profit (ie open source).

    I still will use and love itunes!

  19. Re:So what? on 35mm - One Step Closer to the End · · Score: 1

    And its the romance which is why I don't think I will ever see 35mm completly disapear in my lifetime (and I'm only 22).

    Sure digital will eventually totaly catch up quality wise with film (that won't start until 35mm ccd's come down in price ... just a matter of time), but it will turn into a niche market for people who will never give it up.

    With that said, as of right now Consumer Pro Digital is not the same quality as Consumer Pro 35mm (I use a Nikon 90s for instance). When Consumer Pro level Digital SLR's come into the sub $1000 price range that are equivalent to 35 mm (I feel the ones out today, while good, aren't there yet), it will be a different story. Like I said above , its just a matter of time ....

  20. Re:So what? on 35mm - One Step Closer to the End · · Score: 1

    It depends on what your shooting. 35mm was the top dog in Sports/wildlife where you needed a quick snapping picture coupled with a decent telephoto lens.

    Sure Medium and Large formats have no comparison to the studio or still photography, but when you start shooting things that move 35mm was way better in any aspect.

    However a good friend of mine who is a sports photographer for the AP hailed the switch to digital as it meant he didnt have to bring his portable studio with him to the games.

  22. Re:Doomed. Doomed, I tell you! on Chinese Ban on Wikipedia Prevents Research · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think your missing the point (or I'm reading to much into it). China is denying citizens access to information that it can't censor itself.

    Sure a student could go read a regular encyclopedia, but what good is it if the goverment took all the "good" information out of it before he had a chance to read it?
