it no longer ships with printer drivers i think - these are now supported by the software update mechanism that keeps os x up to date.

simply this: It's not possible to run IE7 or IE8 on windows 2000, which is still massively installed: many companies don't want to upgrade for a few reasons. (mostly: legacy software and cost). Microsoft could solve this tomorrow in myriad

i wonder if that's because we're a smaller community, so there's a shame factor in being downvoted?

Uhm, fashion is one of the hardest things to deal with. Fashion inventory is almost worthless a season or two after it launches. What zappos sells are what are labeled FMCG - fast moving consumer goods. In this instance, you want almost no

the term 'illegal' here is hard and complex. Securities law is harder and more complex. :) IANAL, but anything you do say on a deal can be used as evidence in a deal- even posts to twitter. Remember also, the deal may still not complete, de

they're normally written by lawyers and advisors. To partially answer your question - you should check out the SEC guidance on this kind of thing - it's not easy telling people you're about to engage in a massive deal that impacts lots and

actually i would suspect that Amazon partnered with zappos because zappos has a great company culture and brand, and amazon are having problems retaining theirs as they get bigger. I am sure amazon doesn't need help doing supply chain - in

To echo pg on this- another trick that i was taught early on was to book out a day or half day per week for meetings. Slot them in, try and get people to come to you (helps if you have membership to a club or some such :)) and then keep peo

sure. but more irresponsible is that gmail doesn't recognize that the secondary address expired. It's fairly easy (with most MTAs) to structure a smtp session to discover if a recipient still exists. Google should be doing this regularly so

Right. this time around, Smartronix are working with one of the firms who spoke to the Sunlight Foundation about doing the 'right thing' - talk to #transparency on freenode and @cjoh on twitter. I think there's lots of reasons to believe th

neither does yours: anecdotal experience doesn't speak for the majority.

uh, what do you base this on? most users seem unable to determine what a browser is. I think you have wildly unrealistic expectations of what real users want.

wow. nothing like taking a whole bucket of people and throwing them in the trash. I for one think the idea of taking teaching and calling it stupid is insanity.

get a lawyer. - do it badly and you risk being sued yourself.

Yeah. 15K to get out with a pre-trial deal, doing not much more than send letters back and forth, some discovery and agreeing a settlement deal. scratches head and wonders why he's not a lawyer

by imajes 17y ago
Joe, Ignore this if you want, but - if you made $30k on the settlement, and legal fees on a reasonable case with a lawyer who will insist on doing discovery and prep can't be less than $20k, did that qualify as a win for you?

by imajes 17y ago
Joe, You use "will" in your third paragraph a lot. Lawyers don't generally take cases for nothing just because a win is almost guaranteed (especially not over copyright). They take cases pro bono when they either expect to get massive publi

But that's false: if you can't reveal the contents of your hard drive, you'll have to explain that it's encrypted with a key you don't have on you. The question will then be asked "so where's the key?" and you'll have to explain that a conf

doubt it. given that new macs can show the harddrive with the simple removal of a panel, i can see lots of "front line" cops try and make sure 1+1 = 2. Would have to go to a lab to prove that it'd been partitioned, and that costs money and

agreed. email i just sent to Scheiner: Bruce, I like what you came up with - but it has a really large problem in that, if you are stopped and compelled to show your computer, you would become a combatant by refusing to share information. Y

It's not that complicated for lawyers - i am certain most M&A ends up being more convoluted. It's just that no-one has really tried this in court -- that's really the pain point. Till then it's just a bit of paper that everyone freaks o

@matt: what's their per unit cost vs their income of the consoles? i thought they were mostly loss leaders. so how have the games been selling?

so i'm going to suggest that in cities, alot of traffic and transit systems are just gsm boxes that send/receive commands. I've seen a traffic box opened up and asked the engineer how it all worked. He pointed to the (essentially) cell phon
