    Yeah, I remember when I used to get this at home a few years back.

    I subscribed for 7 fucking years, and 2 months into my last subscription, what do I get?

    A card saying they aren't printing Byte anymore, and they gave me a couple issues of some half ass "home-office computer" magazine.

    CMP won't ever see any of my money again.

    Matrix Squared

    On a less meta-phorical note:

    usenet posts from google Just call me Neo...

    see lower part of page

    These really are the primary set of meta action constants.

    Who knows, maybe this will liven up this article responses...oh yeah, there is also my journal here in slashdot to consider.
