Even while the porn sites most likely won't move from .com or .net, it makes it nice and easy to bing only .xxx domains.

Btw, could we have slashdot.xxx, where slashdot users can upload their nude pictures?

That's some shaky ground right there. Even if they don't complain now, they could complain later on. That would also mean that hardware manufacturers and users have to take the risk. They might just choose to use Windows Phone 7 and be sure there's no such problems.

So what if it's an ex-Microsoft hand pointing it out? He still seems to be correct.. Even if he would have something in mind when pointing it out, it doesn't change the fact.

It seems Android is going through lots of different violations. App developers violate GPL, Google violates licenses itself, malware is spreading via app market and the devices are still locked (and android should be open) and hardware and resolution and software that works on specific devices changes dramatically. It looks like iPhone and Windows Phone 7 are more mature and professional.

Why use any commercial solution at all? You're in a school after all. Make your students create simple buttons on your electrics class. You can just transfer the clicks via wire. Then make your programming class code the back-end system for a computer. Microsoft offers Visual Studio Express to students for free and you can easily get a cheap license to your school by calling Microsoft's sales team. At the same time your students will get real world experience and get to know the best programming tools used in the industry.

But on the other hand it would also mean more fair system. Those who work more or contribute more to the economy have more "votes" to say how the country should be run. It rewards hard working people.

Not just rich, it would be allowed to everyone..

Well, I don't even get why bribes should be unlawful or what is wrong with them. If someone feels its easier to handle things with money, let them. Some people use their charisma to handle difficulties too.

Many times you see pro-piracy guys on slashdot suggesting, or might I say demanding publishers to use alternative ways to get money. Or just do it for the fun. Well, here again we see that those guys cannot see things clearly from both sides. They just want free stuff.

Well do! You know you can also sell stocks that you do not really own, in case you're predicting the stock will fall. Make your millions if you really believe in that.

Groupon has a great business idea, AND it's mainly targeted to girls and women who also spend a lot for beauty things. They make shitloads of money as well as does the partner companies and their users. Win-win-win.

Do Americans know that no one else in the world does this? Not in Europe, not in Asia. They sell you the service and you use it how you want.

But this is Apple's fault too. If you go with Windows phones you can tether how you want, as they only care about iPhone users and can't detect Windows traffic from other Windows traffic.

Nothing in the business is based solely on costs. Of course they will keep taking 2% if they can. What comes to person-to-person payments, credit card phishers must love this as it cuts the middle-man. No need to buy items and resell them, just transfer money directly.

I think this shows that Microsoft cares about the internet. It's not really Microsoft's problem, but they still help to solve it. Fact is, you cannot change stupid people and they will get their computers infected no matter what. Windows 7 is just as secure as Mac OSX or Linux, but it's the users what is the problem. Good job Microsoft, for taking care of the internet.

Master and slaves db setup is much better and easier with MySQL. That's why Postgres isn't ready for entreprise databases. If you're small to medium size business you basically have to use MySQL, Oracle or proprietary enterprise solutions from Microsoft. Large companies like Facebook and Google develop their own database softwares. Postgres is nice, but it's for hobbyist mostly. It just doesn't scale.

Generally I would support open source projects, but it's time to move on from MySQL. The project took wrong direction many years ago. If you go with Oracle, go with the old enterprise database solutions. If you don't exactly care about the license, go with Microsoft Access. They both are way better than MySQL and dealing with its problems.
