You (and all the responses) should read a book called "ME". It's basically an AI experiment gone awry. It starts as a gov. funded research project, which infiltrates comp systems by first throwing a small attack phage at it, then making room for the bulk of the AI. Which then optimizes the current system & uses the spare cycles, which has the interesting effect of making the infected system run faster & smoother:)
Anyway, it's a great book. I just wish I could remember the author.
If I understand correctly, he's not stopping the payola, he's just asking for mandated "sponsored by" messages. Wouldn't that just be another for of advertising/branding? It's not like the record companies aren't already paying it, so it's practically free. This seems like a good deal for the record cos.
Hilary Rosen would prefer it if the world's youth didn't think she was hopelessly uncool. She has an iPod. She counts both Al and Tipper Gore, as well as the rapper Chuck D, among her close friends. She helped found Rock the Vote, for God's sake.
Maybe he *needs* to be in a c# class. He definitely won't be contributing anything to open source, or the community as a whole. Excuse me, I forgot about Mickey D's... Just remember, no pickle does not mean no onion.
The link works if you remember to take the added space out after the 26...

My 6yo daughter & I rode a Rollercoaster simulator at Putt-Putt, and it was pretty cool. Well, the first time they forgot to turn the interior screen on. Imagine riding a rollercoaster in near complete darkeness! It even freaked me out a bit, but she didn't have any problems accepting the free replacement ride:)
And it did have wind, courtesy of fans, although not as strong as on a real rollercoaster.
Not really. Let's see, the guy's version would run win32, so it'd always stop working just when you need it. The girl's version would run linux, and stay up as long as they wanted...
Get over it, move on to the next story, make your own message board, start submitting other stories--do something other than whine.
First, *I'm* not bitching about repeat stories, ever. Second, I do have a little message board, with very small readership (maybe 5 active, 20-30 lurkers), and I still get bitched at for repeat postings:)
Yeah, $10 is pretty cheap. The only problem is it lasts like, what, 10 minutes? "I have a friend" who smokes every day, and if he tried, he might smoke $10 worth of pot in a week. Granted, some people smoke more, some less, and some pot is more (much) expensive.
Not to mention pot isn't addictive in the same manner as crack, crank, or heroin (are crank & h the same thing?). I have lots of friends who have quit pot for one reason or another (usually drug-testing/probation), and they might have been a little bitchy for a while, but they certainly weren't robbing ppl to get cash.
I know he said the "buy it now" was gone, so it wasn't that. What I wasn't clear on was if the auction was over, and didn't meet the reserve, or if he cancelled the auction to sell to the guy.
Johnny Cash doing Personal Jesus. That old guy rocks. (I know it's off-topic, but it's on my jukebox right now)
Plus, most of that crap has the uncanny ability to slow your PC down, and make the OS unstable. MS likes it when your OS is unstable, because you are much more likely to buy the newest Windows that comes out, just to make your PC act right again.
I'm sure someone better than I could say that more eloquently, but you get the idea.
Wow, what a rip-off. I just spent ~$30 and got 4 new CDs. And I didn't have to go anywhere. Heck, the receptionist even brought them to my office so I didn't have to go to the front desk. Of course, a couple of them were indy artists, but still.
I got a couple of Shonen Knife CDs, for $6 & $9, a High School Hellcats CD for $9, and a Die Cheerleader Die CD for $5.
Shonen Knife I got from half.com. A quick email to DCD & HSH and both setup paypal accounts so I wouldn't be forced to find envelopes & stamps.
Now that I think about it, I also recently purchased a new CD at Best Buy, so that *almost* brings me up to $50 (it was the new Johnny Cash CD, that old man rox u).
You should already have a backup of your mp3s... The original disc:)
A friend & I have reciprocal online backups. He has space on my server to scp files, & I have space on his. I trust his security much more than I trust my ISPs.

I can't believe you just compared stolen credit card numbers to the WTC.
How about "My parents spanked me when I was a child, for running into the street. They treat me just like Hitler treated the Jews..."

The new Donnas CD has a DVD, too. I thought that was rather cool.
It's hers:

Yeah, except everyone would grab it, and no one would share it. At least that's the pattern I see on most P2Ps.
Hey, you aren't allowed to bring alcohol into a conversation about drugs. It throws the antidrug zealots off.
That's too good. As I was reading it, the music started running through my head :)
Using drugs does not make you a drug addict. It does make you a drug user. There *is* a difference.
I'm assuming the police have a random (or not) drug testing policy. Why not just escort her to the john & make her piss in a cup?
I'll add:
corriculum = curriculum?

NP, I was replying to your reply to someone else. I just butted in with my $0.02 :)
But you're right, the original article was interesting, and all the "repeat story!!!" posters just fuck up the signal/noise ratio further.
Get over it, move on to the next story, make your own message board, start submitting other stories--do something other than whine.

If it's that loud, you should turn it down, anyway. Chances are *I* don't want to hear whatever it is you're listening to.
Thanks, I had almost forgotten that the new episode of the Osbournes was coming on tonight :)
Ack! Where'd this wire come from???
yah, it's a goatse, but it's not really offtopic. Barely, it's just barely relevant. Considering the subject, it's *almost* funny :)
Is prednisolone acetate an immune-supressing drug?
The whole idea of immune-supression drugs freaks me out. Surely they aren't persistent. If they were, what's the difference between that & AIDS?
I'll just keep my old face & whatever, thanks anyway.
