Willing to put in the time and being able to put in the time are two very different things. I have a full time job, house and family. There is no way I could take off more than a few days to tour to promote my band's album.
Saying if you don't tour you don't deserve to be paid for your music is ridiculous. True that just because we created an album, we don't necessarily deserve to be paid for it, but if somebody wants to own our music, that also doesn't mean they get it for free. Of course they need to pay for an album.
XTC has not toured for over 10 years. So you think people should just be able to take their music because they don't tour?
Nope. You can go to many web sites and transfer money to them from a bank account electronically simply by providing your bank account number and bank routing number (which is readily available on paper checks). That's how I set up my automatic mortgage payments.
Agreed. I walked by it to check it out, then passed also. The idea of using a touch screen that hundreds of people have used before me then eating finger food didn't appeal to me.
No - for every recepient that they reject, they are, in effect, blocking those recipient from receiving the intended message. So they are blocking messages.
Why are most people assuming that the sex offenders are being identified by their user profile information? The FBI/Attorney Generals are probably already monitoring their behaviors and provided their IPs or other identifying information to MySpace, making it easy to track and report on their myspace habits.
Generally not a good idea to not post URLs with your jsession ID in it. I love when people forward their Evite invite URLs thinking they're sharing the event invite but they're enabling people to reply on their behalf.
OK, here are the problems. How am I supposed to trust a website to be the site I am intending to go to when a) its not on a https site, and its asking for my username/password, and I cannot verify via the certificate or anything that I did not type http://bankfoamerica.com/ by accident?
The main page of bofa is heavily hit and did not used to have personal information so it did not need to be https. Just because a http page has a login form does not mean that the form is not posting https. You need to view the source if you want to say login is being done insecurely. Most likely the form is still posting over https.
Amazon is the same way - the login page is http but the form posts https. They had to put a large login icon that says "Sign in using our secure server" because people do not understand that you can log in over https from a page that is http. But clearly it's important enough to save the overhead of encrypted a page https unnecessarily that they risk the confusion and go out of their way to explain it.
Interesting that you're fixing a workflow system but you don't seem to have any of your own. What a developer considers bugs may not be considered bugs by the end users - and even if they are considered bugs, end users usually have work-arounds for them. If the bugs disappear, you've broken their work process. You may want to investigate collecting requirements and getting user buy-in before deciding to change their system.
I've worked on systems where I've done something that I consider insignificant like changing the navigation, but the users didn't know that it was changing and started logging bugs, assuming something was broken.
Well, the band must have transferred the money of the 250 users somewhere. Perhaps the bank should be tracking outgoing transfers and notice that a large number of transactions were sending money to the same or similar locations.
According to the article, 1.7 cents is not the value of the metal in the penny, it is the cost of making the penny, which includes the value of the metal. Interestingly enough, it also says that the metal in pennies from 1982 and earlier (which are 95% copper) is 2.13 cents.
I've always thought that the government benefits when coins are taken out of circulation since it increases the value the dollar. Which is clear since for awhile now people could profit now by melting down 1982 and earlier pennies. But now that the pennies cost more than 1 cent to produce, it is no longer beneficial.
I wonder if this law will drop from the books once the composite in the penny is changed so that the metal value of a penny is once again less than 1 cent.
The big problem with mailinator now is that many sites are rejecting mailinator email addresses at the form validation level - so I've been using Yahoo mail's junk email feature. This allows you to create any number of junk email addresses that forward to your regular Yahoo email address. You can continue to use it through the time that you receive the shipment then delete the address to prevent future spam.
I take it to mean people who are serious, or care, about their email client's functionality. Some people have posted that they prefer Yahoo's old UI and don't want to be slowed down by the bells and whistles. This definition probably considers them not serious. But the 'serious' user needs all these new highfalutin features like drag and drop email management.
only noticible difference [between facebook and myspace] that I see is that you must 'friend' the other person in order to see their entire profile.
That's actually not true. By default, myspace profiles are visible by everybody, even non-logged in users. You have to explicitly set your profile to private to prevent non-friends from viewing your profile.

Care to name these bands?
Yes, mountain climbers. Not to mention Ultimate players.

Their software is crap. Their music is much better.

Yep. This garbage has been going on for years and years. Here's a story from the SF Chronicle about a bar that quit having live music all together after constant threats from ASCAP. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/ 12/03/BUGL13CH5H26.DTL
