The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

James Tauber
Shawn Fanning
Founder, Napster
Nicknamed Napster in high school, Fanning authored the music file-sharing
program that has since been downloaded by more than 35 million people.
Athletic, focused and disciplined, the kid who rocked the music industry
is now a cultural icon who has appeared on the covers of Forbes, Fortune
and BusinessWeek. Among the perks of publicity? Opportunity. Onetime
enemy Bertelsmann, a huge German record company, and Napster are forming
an alliance to develop a peer-to-peer file-sharing service.
Mark Hoffman
Chairman and CEO, Commerce One
 What
do West Point, Sybase and Commerce One have in common? Hoffman. He shook
up the relational database world in the 1980s with SQL Server, the flagship
product of Sybase, a company Hoffman co-founded in 1984 and led for
12 years. He hopes to do the same with online business-to-business exchanges.
Commerce One partnered with SAP in June to develop e-commerce technology
- and to counter a similar move by rival Ariba to partner with IBM and
i2 Technologies. Hoffman, who originally aimed to be a biology teacher,
predicted the rise of 'Net trading hubs three years ago. His company's
track record validates his prediction: Commerce One went from $2.6 million
in revenue in 1998 to $33.6 million in 1999, and a projected $383 million
in 2000.
Keith Krach
Chairman and CEO, Ariba
Krach is a risk-taker, and his company's corporate culture encourages
employees to do the same. Krach's risk has paid off: More than 100 marketplaces
are powered by Ariba's business-to-business e-commerce platform, and
Ariba is expected to lead e-commerce software sales in 2000 with 9%
of the market, according to AMR Research. Among the company's 2000 highlights
is an alliance with IBM and i2 Technologies.
Bob Muglia
Group vice president of .Net Services Group, Microsoft
Muglia is the guy directly responsible for .Net, Microsoft's new Internet-based
services effort. He oversees development of software, subscription services
and interface design. Before .Net, Muglia was vice president of the
division responsible for Microsoft Office. Whether Muglia and company
can weave Windows' legacy in with future .Net initiatives remains to
be seen.
Ray Ozzie
Founder, chairman and CEO, Groove Networks
Lotus Notes creator Ozzie had no trouble getting the industry's attention
for his latest venture, even after three years in hiding. All eyes were
watching as he unveiled Groove Networks' collaborative software products
in October. The start-up had been operating in stealth mode for three
years, developing a peer-to-peer client for sharing applications and
files.
Eric Schmidt
CEO, Novell
Novell is in a pickle. Poor financials, layoffs and restructuring combined
to make 2000 a tough year for head honcho Schmidt. Can the personable
techie turn things around? Novell's fiscal year 2000 earnings were disappointing
- net earnings dropped almost fourfold, to $49 million from $191 million
a year ago.
If only he could apply his fund-raising talents to his own company.
Schmidt hosted a dinner at his Atherton, Calif., home in September that
reaped $3 million for the Democrats. It was attended by about 300 high-tech
executives, Vice President Al Gore, actors Robin Williams and Sharon
Stone, and featured Elton John on the piano.
For the loyalty users still feel for Novell, Schmidt hangs onto his
power slot by a thread.
James Tauber
Director of XML technology, Bowstreet
His is not a typical title found on a list of power elite, nor is the
job all that typical. Bowstreet provides infrastructure for business-to-business
Web marketplaces, and that infrastructure is based on XML.
Enter Tauber. He keeps Bowstreet employees and clients who use the Internet
community up to date on all they need to know about XML. Bowstreet isn't
the only recipient of Tauber's expertise - on his own, Tauber maintains
XMLinfo.com, a Web site dedicated to all things XML, including specs,
applications and training.
