My entire team was asked to look at it, I took neutral opinions from all the members. It gave us less functionality than our existing collaborative documents system and Adobe Connect Pro and appeared to be less streamlined and we had security concerns. In my opinion, as the CTO of a small (30 people) technology company, it has no utility for us or our partners. I hope it works for others out there, and we'll look at it again if there's a compelling reason given to us.
Hey, if the debit crisis continues and more people are out of work and home, we should end up with people willing to work for peanuts just to feed the family a bowl of Cherios. Then we can recapture the manufacturing markets!!!
But as you infer the Market Cap is the public PERCEIVED value of a company (a better measure is embedded value). Essentially, what people are willing to pay for the stock. People like what Apple are doing at the moment and are trying to buy Apple stock. This could potential lead to a bubble, as excited buyers incite excited buyers, it may not. If Apple starts to falter in it's output, or takes a wrong path, public confidence will go down (fickle people that we are) and so will stock prices.
Personally, I'll happily stick with the shares I bought in 2003, but I'll not be buying anymore. It's a relative percentage game with Apple. They're going to have to have a huge multiple on stock prices to get anything decent out of them now. If the stock price gets too high then what's my percentage gain. I mean holding shares valued at $1000/share sounds great, unless you've bought the shares at $999. At a high trade price company's need to become aware that their share holders don't want to see risk as they could loose value. Then they are slow to innovate, it's too risky, and become targets for the young whippersnappers...victims of their own success.
Hey but that's just my opinion.
Personally, I just duct tape cheap cell phones to my pets and use Verizon Field Force manager - It get free from work and can't find another use for it.
Oh common, first we have to look at the study, and yes I looked at the paper. 500 people polled in an area of 3,344,814 people (defined by US Census) - That's 0.15% of the population. Now of the 500 people 225 people were gamers. So the average is based on 225 people in 3 million. When it talks about gender, the 225 is further reduced due to the male/female split. Finally add to all of this that people were asked to self-diagnose, so either they only polled medical experts or they're relying on 500 individual criteria of depression. It's a terrible, flawed study that has horrible analysis.
I get worried when we all miss the longterm ramifications of the geopolitical sphere. The US has insignificant Li compared to Russian and China (the latter already stating they will control the Li battery market) and we trade in an oil master for a Li master.
Have a look at this (The Trouble with Lithium) and tell me that there is not something flawed about our insistence to achieve energy independence through Li ion batteries.
My recommendations, based on a recent similar experience with son:
1) While I don't know the age of your daughter, have the conversation sooner than later. Don't put it off. You may find she understands more than you think and you can clarify somethings that she understands wrong
2)Explain the porn industry hidden within the concept of all internet problems including chat rooms, scams etc. and how predatory it is, no matter how much you may enjoy porn. Obviously the dialogue has to be at her level.
3) Only the parents can put in a credit card number.
4) Trust her...to some degree. What worked here was the agreement that I would check the history on the browsers, even the hidden ones, on a random basis. I owned the computer, he uses it. He was free to surf as he wished within the agreed boundaries. Accidents happen, but he knows I'm not stupid and can see trends. Abuse of this, or the "accidental" deletion of the history, online rights are revoked for a period of time (increasing with the number of abuses). I would not check his personal messages, unless he abused his browsing site rights, then everything was up for grabs.
The cool thing with 3+4 is that I actually wrote up a full contract and we both signed it, yet another lesson.
Now the discussion with the wife - if he can visit a site without me being able to find it, good for him, let him reap the benefits of his ingenuity - or my lack of knowledge.
At this point in time, I've only ever had the desire to check twice in 6 months and things seemed fine, but then again he's generally a good kid.
The funny thing is, when someone asks me if my mother trusted me, I always say yes, but she should'nt have...

"Thumb Drive Drive -
Do you have old thumb drives (otherwise known as USB Memory Sticks) at your office or home that you don't use anymore?
We're collecting these drives to share with the organizations we work with. They can be used in hundreds of useful ways by:
* Teachers
* Students
* Relief Camp Workers
Please keep sending them in to Inveneo here and we'll make sure they get out to people and organizations who can use them well:

However as the DVD cost me £3 ($4.25) I can sell it and make back almost my entire expenditure
This is only true on where you draw your envelop for the calculation. I assume that when you say you can make back the money, you do not take into account any time, effort or cost involved in the selling back process. You can't turn off the movie and sell it to someone sitting in the room next to you (well perhaps you could in rare cases) for the same price. you would have to place an add, respond to the add, mail the DVD (think time not the cost here) and cash the check.
Now lets compare that my typical netflix use, delivered about 5/month, streamed I would say on average one TV show a night at 45 min. Considering we're talking movies, we'll say 2 TV shows = one movie at 90 mins. So I'm getting ~20 movies/month (5 delivered 15 streamed) for $18/month, thus $0.90/movie. Now take into account that I push the streamed movies into my TV from the computer and it take no more effort watch it that way than on the DVD. To me that easily beats buying a $3 movie (after whatever time period it takes for a new release to drop to $3)in effort, cost and expedience of being able to watch a new release. Although I do acknowledge that you consider time after release not to be an issue.

Our house uses a combination of netflix (3 DVD's plus a lot of streaming) and hulu, which accesses most things that we would want. We pump that through the xbox 360 with playon and my LCD TV has a built in digital tuner. To be perfectly honest I have very little reason to have cable and the quality coming out of the xbox to the screen is as good as anything we used to get on cable (we don't need HD). I should say that HULU is better quality in most cases than Netflix, but both appear to be as good as the delivered Netflix DVDs. (Note: Comcast as ISP with 17+ (sometimes 23-26) download speed)
Actually it was a Mexican. You didn't realize that we had made it that far did ya! To hell with finding water on Mars, we already have a Taco truck with the best horchata in the solar system there waiting for NASA.
I asked them about using the non-25 recommended port (587?) and they said they could open it, but they would have to rebuild the server and that would be a hassle. Is this IT-BS diversion statement, basically they're telling me that they can't be bothered?
Talk to me about this. I'm not an IT guy, as you probably guessed by the first post. Looking up the ssh definition I think that work will not allow me to use this as it would give remote access to the company servers. Unless they can filter out non-company endorsed computers? It this is a viable option then why do you think they have not offered it?
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, but a trendy case will buy off many Apple users. "oooo it's so pretty..."
Reading the article suggests that he might try to sue himself, if he thinks he could make some money from it...
I'm meant to pay for /.??? Man I must owe them a fair bit of cash by now.

Assuming your battery lasts 10 years, how much for a replacement?

Just buy a preloaded credit card and pay for that in cash.
Perhaps it's because the Supreme Court is starting to use the service...

I believe the 'edge' they are referring to is the one that you walk up to before jumping off without a parachute.

I'm not sure luring can allow free-will. Could the cat then sue for entrapment?
