"BBS has an article confirming the trend of using inbox as a sort of personal database. At my workplace I can personally attest to the growing sizes of those pst files and an unwillingness to erase any emails because of 'loss of information'." From the article: "The trend has become more pronounced as the services have dramatically increased their storage capacity in response to upstart Gmail offering a free service with 1,000 megabytes (Mb) of storage."
BBS = The BBC pst = Microsoft Outlook.PST Gmail is no upstart, they're run by Google. Gmail currently offers 2121MB (that's Megabytes, not Mb - which is MegaBITS)
This isn't news. This is what Google had in mind when they started the Gmail service.
This was actually a very good review of the book. I don't think of this as being a sports issue as much as a political one. If it were just a sports issue, Congress wouldn't be trying to intervene.
Unfortunately, people think of Canseco in the same breath as Pete Rose and John Rocker - people who have destroyed their reputations on bad judgement. This book, as the reviewer describes, could prove amongst the most important baseball books ever.
If this book really breaks open the steroid concerns, and better bans are put in place, then Canseco has done a huge service to the game - unlike Rose or Rocker. It's important to point out that Ken Caminiti was the person to really start getting people excited and concerned about what was going on with steroids in the game. Ken died late last year of a heart attack.
From the review, I probably won't buy this book because it's too much biography, not enough substance - Jose Canseco did thrive during the time of Vanilla Ice, and his career went pretty much the same way after 1991.
Thanks for the review. It's surprisingly appropriate, and definitely interesting.
Shaun the Sheep was actually invited to participate in the recently released "World of Warcraft" live action demo.
In demonstrating one of the games's more interesting features....well, the short of it is that he won't be involved in this or anything else in the future.
Parent post is right. The threat of many sellers leaving forced eBay to modify their fee schedule.
This is why capitalism works. You're welcome to alternatives. However, when you can't find anything you're looking for at another site, or no one looks at what you're selling - you're on your own.
Yes, they are - in two ways, depending on buyer payment:
eBay charges a final value fee, a combination of flat-rate and percentage of the value.
eBay's PayPal service charges a fee for sellers receiving money, based on both a transaction fee and as a function of the value received.
The amount is insignificant except maybe on high ticket items. Arguably, the sheer volume of eBay allows them a few thousand dollars per day, but as both a buyer and a seller of over 500 items - I could care less. I agreed to these terms, and they're the most popular. If I don't like it, I'll start another soon-to-fail online auction house.
This is a repeatable behavior. Feel free to test it on my auctions:)
More seriously, I didn't understand why this would automatically increase my bid when I was the highest bidder. I assumed it was buried in some terms and conditions, but I didn't think it was fair - because yes, you're actually registering a new bid against yourself.
If this is indeed in their terms somewhere, then I have no issue writing it off as an annoyance.
It's commonplace for AP articles to distinguish political affiliation for anyone in elected office when referring to him or her.
The exceptions usually being President and VP.
So, no, there's no backhanded motivation in including this in the AP article. Whether or not it should be including the/. summary is a valid concern though.
In prison, inmates should "pick up skills and abilities that will allow them to go back out into society and be productive citizens," Blunt said. "Playing video games doesn't have anything to do with either of those objectives."
Are you kidding? Confined to constricted areas for entire years. Limited interpersonal action creating a sociopath. Far, far too much free time on their hands. Die hard video game players. Always ready to take it up the butt.
This is where Electronic Arts needs to recruit new talent.
TechTV was an excellent product after the name change from ZDTV. The shows were great, albeit repeated often, but interesting.
Why can't someone try again with a similar format?
Though I'm convinced most of G4's acquisition of TechTV was for the sake of employing Morgan Webb's breasts to supply to the SpikeTV crowd - people were watching TechTV, finding it useful, and it appeared that they had no problems finding advertisers.
Leo LaPorte was great. Here's a guy who put up with any and every end user question, no matter how dumb - and he managed to help them understand without making fun of them. I know he was on two of the major shows and contributed largely to their success.
Further, the TechTV programming - though sometimes tacky, was never as lowbrow as the dreadful and boring G4 programming.
I'm surprised there's no DellTV or Microsoft WindowsVision (MSNBC excluded). I just don't understand why a format that's already worked well enough to be purchased couldn't be successful again.
I've never tried Peet's. I'll have to check them out.
I enjoy Starbucks coffee, depending on which blend. I like the Sumatra and Espresso Roast, but some of it does kick back a weak taste (the Holiday blend is...well, it wasn't good this year).
My girlfriend (no, really) works at Starbucks, so she usually does the grinding herself at the store - so I never get the burnt schwag you speak of.
I bought one in early December, and it's been awesome.
At the risk of sounding like a cheap plus, every Starbucks coffee making product (the base Barista coffee makers, their grinders, or the espresso machines) have been great - and I've enjoyed coffee more because of it.
Downside: by contrast, everything else tastes gross.
We're not even remotely close to being a democracy.
We're a somewhat democratic republic, we elect people who make the decisions - rarely do "We the People" make decisions ourselves. When we do, it's state or local issues, like tax levies.
I'm not sure if the lack of actual participation makes people so apathetic to the world around them, but I imagine as more people get involved, the greater pride they take in our nation. I imagine 95% of all Americans don't even know who their Representative is.
I'm considering running for office within a few years. My biggest concern is that our freedoms are being trampled on, in the name of freedom no less.
I applaud IBM for this Redbook. It is very detailed in terms of providing an IT Administrator the ammunition to begin a pilot project for a Linux migration.
I've never seen a great book for migrating to Linux on the desktop for enterprise users. What really sets this book apart is its discussion on the ability to move Linux to the desktop while maintaining Microsoft products on the server side. While most organizations start by adding Linux servers, and never migrate their clients, this provides a strong start point for desktop migration.
IBM is very committed to Linux. For most of their server products, like WebSphere, Tivoli Access Manager, DB2, etc., Linux is certainly a preferred platform. This book, and the sale of their desktop division, confirms that they're trying to dethrone Microsoft from enterprise dominance and assert their place as a Linux (and AIX) software and services company.

Attach it to a serial interface and you'll wonder why your System Cannot See It.....
UID's are irrelevant as long as they're available on eBay :)
I mean, really, any idiot can acquire a 5 digit ID.
