yeah, it definitely had its own custome reader program, and it was the one that offered to make trips to states with low cigarette prices if enough people said they wanted cigs.. I don't remember the lye donuts though.. i wish i could find some issues of that.
Does anyone out there remember "SCAM" ? It was from back in the BBS era, and it was similar in spirit to phrack but written by one guy and much lower-tech. I'd say it was more of a working man's phrack.
Non-voting shares.. and only 24 million. Not that big a deal really in terms of what Microsoft can do with those shares. The more interesting question is why.
You're missing a few key points. Dreamcast is Sega's entry into the "next generation race." It just so happened to be the first "next gen" system. Whether or not it is as capable as the rest is another story. Also, it's a widely known fact that Sega has no plans to stay in the console business, but will rather in the future focus almost entirely on game development. Anyhow, the stock is really only down less than 45% from its average lifetime-price. While that is significant I could also point to quite a few companies with statistics like that right now that have bright long-term futures.
yes, but mine doesn't. my point was that my vote doesn't matter, period. call me apathetic if you will. I really am not apathetic. I do plenty of things to further causes I believe in. Voting just happens not to be one of those things because I am well aware of the fact that one vote doesn't make one bit of difference.
Here's the truth though: An additional 1 voting member in a certain demographic group doesn't change a thing. So instead of wasting time registering to vote and actually voting, just work a few extra hours and make a few extra bucks. You're certain to get more out of the few extra bucks than what you'll get from your one vote: absolutely nothing.
You're telling me that one of your biggest problems is people quoting the entire message? Buddy, you don't know how good you have it. That's a non-issue.
Oh, that's just great, quote the jargon file.

Hacking The Tivo

Oh yeah, what a reputable source of information. Everyone knows what the jargon file and its writers would consider hacking. Or at least everyone here does. But that's not of interest. If there was a dispute over the word "love," and I quoted a Nazi dictionary where the definition of the word was "the spirit to eliminate inferior people," would that do much to change your mind? Obviously, (and I shouldn't even have to point this out, but with some of the closed-mindedness around here I feel I have to) I'm not trying to draw any parallels between Nazis and the writers of the Jargon file, but the point stands that quoting someone with a vested interest and citing it as "proof" is complete b.s... In any case, try this from Webster's:
hack (hk) v. hacked, hacking, hacks v. tr.
Informal. To alter (a computer program): hacked her text editor to read HTML.
To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without authorization: hacked the firm's personnel database.
Now obviously, in common language the word can have two meanings. What the "true" definition of the word is depends on the person using it and the person who's receiving it. There's no such thing as an absolute definition.
I've been working for a Fortune 100 company in the information technology department for over a three months. My responsibilities mainly include HVAC duties, as well as focused-point suction of dust particles. In any case, our systems are all Windows-based. They work okay, but as I've been telling the CTO and CEO (I have contact with both of them because I also perform focused-point suction of their offices), Linux is much better. The problem, however, is that there is too much of a "hacker" image of the Linux community. They're worried that if we switch, the hackers will get in. To try to assuage their worries, I loaded up a copy of Linux 7 on their machines. The only problem was that it overwrote what they already have, so they were a bit mad. Because of that, I don't think they were able to appreciate the full power. I did make a big point of telling them that certain experts could install graphical Linuxes, the one I installed could only have a command prompt. I just hope that you all stop talking about hacking so that we and other big Fortune 100 companies can load Linux 7 on our networks.
It's a nice site (the sister site of shellreview.com) that has reviews of various colocation services. The admin really does some nice, thorough reviews. While I wouldn't reccomend it as a primary source of information, it probably would be good to see if the companies you're considering are listed here.. And if so, if there's anything nasty said about them.

In the spirit of vigorously used and then quickly forgotten exercise equipment, I say the new name should be "Clotheshanger."
thanks a lot, i appreciate it.

very, very funny. i actually laughed out loud, no joke.
You know, JonKatz, you remind me a lot of an English professor I had in college. He was a pedantic geek.
hey man, there's no need to brag.
I don't get it. Unless you plan on throwing out your old console, why does it matter if your new one plays the old games?
i'd +1 funny this if i had some mod points. i'd spend all 5 points on it if i could. funny stuff, man.
and they should mark you redundant. and me flamebait.

previsible isn't a word
i'm sorry. that's just too funny. they give $50 to linux. hillarious man, i really am not being sarcastic here, it is a very funny post.
How insightful of you. Yet, you know nothing. The show actually was taped over six months ago.

What part of "well regulated militia" don't you understand?
mod it up.
You are one great troll. Seriously, masterpieces.
