This argument is just as silly (and forgive me, because I don't intend this as a personal insult) as saying that you started a company that gives you a bucket of water, but the bucket has advertising on it (which is how you make your money), and then came along the invention of... piping, and the goverment (or city) run water company made you bankrupt. > You'll end up like Jerusalem is now, no wifi in most places, bad coverage > were there is any and you footing the bill. I don't understand what you're saying. If this is the case in Jerusalem, then why can't your company succeed after all??? If somebody will want to surf in a place where the coverage is bad, they'll need to do it using your company's infrastructure, and see your ads. > I agree with that, but next time you try to hire a programer and find > you can't afford one, don't complain to me. I don't see how this is Google's fault... I bet that 90% (or 99%?) of people who send their CVs to Google don't get hired. So in the world can Google's paychecks (if they are at all as big as you hint...) effect all the other programmers who don't work for Google?? -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Aug 25 2005, 20 Av 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |The 3 stages of sex: Tri-weekly, try http://nadav.harel.org.il |weekly, try weakly. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
