Yes. Money can at least set you free financially.

That's what marketing is all about, creating the image and perception. It only shows that they've learned very well from us.

It's a form of populace control by the government; otherwise how would they rule over you?

That was a dick move. 5 days are not enough to go through debugging, coding, reviewing, testing, and deployment of a complicate software like Windows. 2 weeks to 4 weeks are more reasonable.

Or, 5 days is enough time, because people need to know it's out there, and the developers have had years to get this particular type of bug right.

Lenovo/Thinkpad are usually more expensive than the others. However, I bought the cheap version of Lenovo ($350 after rebates) last xmas as a replacement laptop. It's one of the best laptops I got over the year. The specs can't be beaten, and screen and build quality are superb.

Why do they have offices in UK and Singapore? Also the Enterprise division sounds like a poor strategic fit.

For what it is worth having meetings in second life were much better then the dial in meetings I have done for years. All sitting around in a circle looking at the person talking and the software easily handled many different people. Not sure if it also did direction audio or not, but I never had a problem knowing who was talking or make a gesture to know I wanted to comment on the current conversation.

Downside (maybe): half the people show up as funny creatures :)

I used TomCat in a 256M VPS with no problem with loads. Threading definitely helps in sharing the same memory space.

I won't work for Google via recruitment neither. The only case if Google buys my company.
