This retailer is seriously screwing its customers by hiding problems in product it sells. I would absolutely avoid shopping with the retailer if I knew who it was.
Consumerist.com, owned by Consumer Reports, is doing a pretty good job exposing anti-consumer behavior by companies. I would tip them off about this.
So if you didn't have to work â" and had more money than George Lucas and Steven Spielberg â" would you be like Sall and continue to program?
Yes, I would.
I would work on all the projects I don't have time for between 10-hour workdays and 24-hour take-care-of-the-children-make-sure-wife-is-happy life.
I would be busier than ever. And I would love every minute of it.
While Apple is "pondering", the GV Mobile developer went ahead and released the app in Cydia.
That is a violation of the iPhone developer program.
It's gonna be very interesting, if Apple lets GV Mobile back to the app store.
Google it.
I think the bigger issue is what this is going to do to the sales of EMI artists, whose fans are not the Walmart shopping kind.
I would expect some of their artists be VERY unhappy about this move...to the point that I would expect a few of them break their contracts over this. Assuming EMI doesn't concentrate entirely on the Britney Spears mass market type of music.

The Federal Business Opportunities website listed this opportunity a few weeks ago (could've been up longer than that, who knows).
It's not "just a website". It's a bit of a cluster**** in terms of number of data sources, what they expect to do with the data, etc.
I've done my time (never again!) with sorting through data from various data sources and while the actual programming part is *usually* not that difficult (assuming the data is not too badly malformed), but there are so many problems with processes, dealing with crap data, exceptions, etc. that if I were bidding for this work, I'd inflate my estimates quite a bit, too.
This happens all over the world. When it happens in the USA, however, people stand up and make noise
And that's all they do...for 30 minutes, after which they go back to watching American Idol.
They already spammed me, so what's the point?
I'm setting up an email filter rule that returns all that stuff back to as many Systemax employees as I can possibly find.
...and they only had 200 years to fix it.
Maybe another 100 years more and it'll catch up to Japan of 2009.
Why do you think net neutrality is such a hot topic?
Of course not. MediaSenty is protected by lobbyists.
The students are not.
Just make sure you don't legally change your name to Anonymous Coward and I think you'll be fine.
I thought I had read/heard somewhere (might have even been the documentary Revolution OS) that Finns & Swedes grow up with English Sesame Street available to them and as a result many of them are bilingual from a young age.
Don't believe everything you read.
However, regular TV shows and movies are not dubbed unlike in some other European countries and instead use subtitles, which is a pretty good way to learn English.
Personally I learned English from video games, because they didn't translate those back in the day. The Microprose manuals were particularly useful for developing English skills.
BTW, Linus is tri-lingual (at the very least)...Finnish, Swedish and English.
It was an accident. Yea, sure.
I disagree. The primates running the investment banks on Wall Street knew exactly what they wanted. They just didn't care other people got hurt while they got rich.
Sociopathic behavior, afaik, is something animals are yet to exhibit. Hurray! We're still at the top of the food pyramid!
Lawrence Radiation Laboratory keeps all its data in an old gray trunk.
