eBay owns 25% of Craigslist.

They will continue as long as Nokia, Vodafone, and Siemans continue work with the Iranian government.

Why do people buy 2% milk? Regular milk is 3% (hence why 2% can no longer be labeled "low fat").

If that CPU time is being used, it has to be paid for.

We've come so far since the 60's mainframe days.

I sure hope you don't work at NASA or a nuclear power plant.

I am convinced that Google will work make Chrome in the TV market. Quick boot time and lack of local apps all point to a non-traditional platform.

Throw in Youtube and Hulu and you have why Comcast is buying NBC. Cable providers will quickly become irrelevant in a few years.

I think you don't understand segregation of duties. It doesn't mean having a separate IT group, it means splitting duties between more than one person. For example, the person coding the change and the person implementing the change would be two separate people. Testing should also be separated out from the person who implemented the change.

In the case of a true emergency change, they can be done and documented after the fact (but should still be documented).

I long ago gave up any attempt to correct misspelled words or inconsistencies within the same entry.

But what ever you do, do not post the previously forbidden texts or the Slashdot mods will have to delete your posts.

They do the bidding of the evil organization.

There is no way a simple farm boy could master a long bow without years of practice.

I hope they have several inside the Governor's Mansion. The are guaranteed to catch a felon there.

So your evidence that Google hires applicants without degrees is the fact that you don't have a degree and Google didn't hire you?

Hmmm....back to Boolean maths for you!
