When I see a new local band I like, I usually pick up their CD after the show for $5-10, get a couple of free stickers, and get a chance to tell them they rock. But that's just me.
Can I request in advance that slashdot repeat this post in a few years? Thanks. My kid won't be old enough for another 5 years. Oh, I know they'll repost it several times between now & then, but I just wanted to be sure:)
(For example, why does Mozilla and iTunes put the Prefs menu under Edit? What the hell does changing options have to do with copy/paste and text editing operations? In Windows, that goes under the Tools menu. They are little things, but they make a big difference.)
I've thought about this before, and it didn't make sense to me. Of course, in the event there *isn't* a Tools menu, I always find myself muttering under my breath, "C'mon, I need to edit my preferences"...
I'm sorry, I have trouble feeling any sympathy for someone who was unjustly prosecuted and chose to roll over and die rather than fight for what's right. Injustice took place, and it could happen again, because YOU let it happen.
Shows how much you know. Some people don't have the funds to fight the system (which he mentioned). Some people have families to think about. "Mommy, where's Daddy, and why do we live in a shelter?" "Daddy's in jail, honey. He tried to fight the Man and we went broke doing it."
You know, as much as I hate to admit it, I think you're heading the right way here. They're already targeting us, err, those stoners & saying they help fund terrorism. Why *not* the spammers? The terrorists get some of their funding by spamming. If you run an open relay/proxy, you're helping the terrorists. If you buy that p e n1 s enlarger, you're helping terrorists. If you even open that email w/ a subject of v1agra, you're a terrorist!!!
There's got to be *some* way we can make use of this... Why are the government & big business the only ones who can lie to achieve their objective???

Knoppix 3.3 Is Out
·
· Score: 1
Granted, this is a day late, I suppose. And I'm new to bittorrent, having installed it specifically to d/l Knoppix. I'm just wondering why my d/l rate hasn't topped 6kB/s, and is sitting at 0kB right now. I can still upload at 6kB/s, though.
Why is that? Would I do better using a non-official bittorrent link?
~80% of the music I buy (that's right, *buy*) is on CDR. Depending on the band, and how bad they need money to get to the next gig, it'll be $5-7 for their new CD, or $8-12 for their new CD, their demo CD, a sticker & a button. The NoGoods didn't have a demo CD, but they substituted a t-shirt. If they're a decent band & turnout was low, I've even been known to kick in extra, just to show my appreciation.
Occasionally I do have to buy an Avril CD, or something similar (those damn kids), and I have an Emusic subscription that I love. But there's nothing wrong w/ CDRs.
You must be in the Memphis area, too. I didn't get power back until last Sunday night, cable tv came back with it. It took an additional 3 days for RR to come back online, and man, was I jonesin' for the net:D
At least I had hot water, so I didn't stink too bad...
I've noticed that more & more new "CD"s that come out *don't* have the symbol on the label. I recently purchased some crappola CD for my daughter, and none of the 3 that she picked out had them.
I was concerned, since she listens to everything on her PC, but they played fine, and ripped fine. I don't know what that means, unless they're phasing out the CD logo for future plans.
I've been wearing mine every day for the past 8 or so years. I can no longer update it (the communication mode doesn't work on NT/2K/XP, no direct access to video or something like that), but most of the data in there is still good.
I'll second the EMusic endorsement. I read about it here a while back & joined up. I'm using it to replace my old cassettes (no player anymore).
Emusic simply rocks. I've downloaded ~20 albums so far. I even found a couple of new artists. Quality is better than what I use when I rip my CDs, decent selection (though no Titney Spears), and blistering fast downloads.
I use Spybot's Search & Destroy instead of Adaware, but the story's pretty much the same. I do make sure that whoever's machine it is watches, and I tell them to run it at least once a week.
I got all excited, because looking through all that crap in the log really bugs me. Then I clicked on the link, and the page ended up being for regged members only. Dude, don't you know this is/. ? We don't reg. for *anything*:)
What he means is that he would normally use his index finger to shove up someone's ass. His girlfriend likes to use her thumb. He doesn't say if he likes it better or not...:D
Just to note: This does *not* work if there's any porn of you and an ex. You were supposed to have destroyed all that when the two of you started dating. You can have 200 random mpgs, and 2 that you "star" in, and all of them get lumped in with the two.
Slashdot Mirror
My phone already does this, without any fancy wince os.
I think he meant AOL should block those ports. Surely *they* are competent enough to do that.
:)
Ok, *maybe* AOL's competent enough to do that
Slashdotted? :)

It ought to be the other way around... If you *have* a driver's license, you can't drink...
I mean, strictly from the DUI point of view.

Yes, and that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.
I just finished it a couple of days ago. I still don't have a clue what he's talking about.

I solved that by picking up some Artic Alumina epoxy. That way the epoxy is built in. Worked great on my video card hsf.
*Note: No research was done, Artic Alumina was what was easily available. I'm sure your favorite brand/flavor has an epoxy version, too.
I'm always amused when such "superstitions" as not touching dead bodies, etc. are vindicated by modern science.

What, no Timex Datalink?

Now I need a replacement...
You laugh, but I'm glad they finally fixed it. I've been getting bitched at about this entirely too much.
I can't mod you up, you're already at 5 :)

All for $10/month.
Rock on!!! \m/

What? We're supposed to tell you she's not hot?

Ok, Your wife is dog-ugly...
Still want him to take it back?
