Also, the floppy is reusable so while you may not be able to buy new disks, at least you can erase and reuse old ones for some time
Where are you getting these super-high-quality floppies from? The ones I can get generally develop bad sectors within a year or maybe six uses, whichever comes first.
Probably nobody makes quality ones any longer, since there's no money in the things.
Alternatively, they could do as they did for 6.06 Dapper and delay release for two months while they polish and fix bugs, without introducing anything new.
What anyone with sense would do is subscribe to news.individual.net for only 10 euros a year. I guarantee you'll get a better feed than Cox, provided you're not one of those binaries wankers.
It costs money to print up stuff to tell people about this nonsense. They'll have little fliers or somesuch detailing all the official state things, and now a new run will have to be made up for this addition.
if you're a CS student at many.us universities, Microsoft will give you free-as-in-beer software, including but not limited to Visual Studio and Windows Server.
First one's free, etc. Good way to get them hooked.
No, it's because the BeOS management got greedy when Apple offered to buy the company out. AIUI, Apple gave a fairly generous offer, but at the last minute Be mgt wanted another 20 million, so Apple told them to fuck off & bought NeXT instead.
NeXT, helmed by Steve Jobs, had a Unix-like operating system that became Mac OS X.
I'm from.us. I think it depends on where you grew up and what foods you're used to - I never ate any organ meats as a kid, so I'm not interested in trying them.
My wife's family used to live on a farm, and they're used to eating e.g. chicken gizzards. She won't touch kidney, though, because of the taste, and tongue grosses her out because of the taste buds.
Easy: my wife bought a mini clip-on LED light for hers. It's designed so that the light given off encompasses the screen & not much else, and since the bulb is LED the cell lasts forever.
You must not read your local newspaper's letters-to-the-editor. I'm frankly terrified of letting my bunch of letter-writing loonies be in charge of/anything/.

Who are you, now?
my journal is in flat 7-bit ASCII, a choice I deliberately made back in the '90s.
I don't expect anybody but my daughter to be interested, though.

slrn FTW.

My ISP provides a decent (if sometimes slow) feed, but I only subscribe to six or so newsfroups, and only two of them have regular traffic.
Also Usenet readers almost uniformly have a better interface.
Yup. I don't use any of my ISP's email or Web-based services.
In fact, the only ISP-tied service I use regularly... is their Usenet server. For articles, not for downloading porn or warez.

That's why we call his sort "denialists" - they'll angrily deny anything that conflicts with their world-view.
Quite distinct from skeptics.
FWIW I pulled the same stunt with the $30 student edition of Win7 in December.
Heh. Evidently possessing a .edu email address is all you need. I'm not a student anymore and just got accepted into their program.

Big former limestone quarry with a bunch of underground storage. Town has its own electric utility too.
and hence advertising revenue.
Since I'm too lazy to google (it's almost bedtime), WTF is Strawberry Perl?

Honestly, haggis is pretty good. Just don't think about what it's made of and you'll be fine.
The closest .us analog would be a spicy meatloaf - the textures are nearly identical.
To be fair, Franklin didn't need the money from patenting his stove.
Only because it'd be political suicide to vote for it after they whipped the mob up into a frenzy.

Ah, hence the Texas schoolbook imbroglio.
