What's really needed is an engine (API) version number that gas stations (addon developers) can target, and that only changes when the engine (API) changes.
I used a ratio site for a while, and I found the easiest way to get some positive credits was to pick a brand new torrent, and congifure bt to only download one file from it (say about 10% of the total size). It was like a partial-seed, without nearly as much initial download for a file I didn't want anyway:)
Offtopic, but Trillian has a text-to-speech plugin that will do what you are looking for, over any of Trillian's protocols (MSN/AIM/Y!/ICQ/IRC/Jabber/Rendevouz)
I think your experience with terminal server/slient is a bit outdated. Current versions support full screen (max resolution determined by the client machine) 24bit color, audio mapping. Widgets are drawn by the client, not the server. Its a very nice solution (albeit a more expensive) to anything that doenst require openGL.
At my (nameless) university here, every user has 1 gig of bandwidth per day (up or down, whichever you hit first). As soon as you hit the limit, you get cut to a 56k equivilent untill midnight. its pretty good for 10mbit connection for $5 a week:)
The only problem we've found is that network services picks one IP a day , and actually listens to the datastream for copyrighted material. They seem to only really care about movies and large things, not mp3s, but still. If you get caught you lose your net connection for the year. Just two doors down from me, campus security paid him a visit about downloading 3 episodes of family guy. So it seems to be true, but im wondering is this legal? We've yet to find anything that says they cant. So if anyone knows anything about this kind of stuff up here in canada (eh?) it could be helpful!
I found this about a year and a half ago, oddly enough at about 3 im the morning... scared the hell out of me but was the neatest find. I was watching songs in winamp with the voiceprint plugin that comes with it. Think it would make neat wallpaper. I took a screenshot and sent it to my friends and we looked around the web but couldnt find anyone else who had come across this. I think the song was "Complex Mathematical Equation" but i cant remember...

You mean like a major version number?

Actually this is not uncommon. It is called Single Wire Earth Return. It is often used in rural areas to save cost due to the long cable distance.
I didn't know that it was used for HVDC submarine cables, but it seems like it is in use in Germany and Tasmania (Basslink), as the GP stated.

Not a joke but a terrible math pick up line :)

Have you ever considered using those little reflectors in the road (yellow and white) to help in the tracking process?
