I'm waiting for an Apple 2+ Emulator that connects to your TV. I loved that machine! I just can't find any discs that I can read twenty years out! The games were AMAZING for the time and STILL (the ones that I can boot) challenging. Why is it I can I go out and buy Doom 3 play it for about 2 hours and get bored to tears... yet play Ultima I, Hard Hat Mack, or Choplifter for days on end?
I weep silently in my cube for the good ole days...
So what. All major labels do is put out crap. Case in point. Ashlee Simpson and that guy from American Idol both the one who can sing and most of all the one who can't (HUNG?)
Would the test be ineptitude test with math questions like "If Bill says he's interested, what time is tee time?" and "If Dale is the IT director at a company who's stock is valued under $1, how many drinks do you need to feed Dale before he signs." Bonus question... "How many drinks do you need to feed Dale before he tells you his company isn't going to buy?" Super bonus questions "How many drinks do you need to feed Dale before he says that he's looking for employment else where?"
Why do the televions keep getting better and better but there's still nothing ON?!?! I have a 30 hr tivo and haven't had more than 2 hrs on it in over a year!!!
who claim to be calling for the faternal order of police or some crap like that and then try to sell you something once you've given your $20 to 9/11 fund
$20Million to CMU? Please Bill... Couldn't you have done something a bit more charitable? Like the students at CMU need a new building? How bout helping out the children of Cleveland Ohio of whom 53% are living in poverty. Half the school buildings here would be condemed if it weren't for the fact that 87 of the 100 building inspectors were laid off last year. And who do we have to thank? Queen Jane. But thanks Bill, thanks for giving unNeedy spoilded rich kids a chance.
It's amazing, but having worked at Kinko's for 10+ years I never knew this. I think from now on when hiring, there should be a math question and ask the applicatant to find the area of A29 paper!
Back in 1977 my father took out a load so that he could by me an Apple 2+ computer. Everyone else had Atari 2600's but he thought that it be better if I get something I could learn with, as it "had a lot of educational software" Yeah. I learned with it. Not school work, but how to program. I was 10 and knew Apple INT Basic and assembly language backwards and forwards. Then in 1983 I got the Modem:)
I guess they say you always remember your first.:)
1) a majority of the money spent on a CD by a Major record company is on advertising, be it print or payola. A majority of money spent on a release by an indie label is distribution and the logisitcs of getting the product into an indie record store. Getting into a major chain is next to impossible and usually those pieces wind up "dead" on the shelves. There are a lot of indies out there who sell full length CDs for under $10. The one that comes to mind as a best case example is Dischord.
2) Major Label Greed
Finally just an FYI. Artists don't make squat on sales anymore. Most make money on touring & merch sales (t-shirts cost 80cents to make in Mexico and have a 4000% margin!!!)
Pull of the Rock n Roll hall of fame? ha ha ha!
on
Robot Hall of Fame
·
· Score: 1
I work 2 blocks from the Rock n Roll hall of fame here in cleveland and when I read the comment from the author of this story wondering if it'll have the PULL of the RNR hall of fame I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. I can see that place right now and there is NOBODY THERE! It's one of the biggest mistakes that Cleveland ever sunk any money into! So... to have the pull of the RNR HoF would be the death of the Robot Hall of Fame. People don't come to it. Hell all the induction cerimonies are done in NYC! The rock stars won't come here cuz there's nothing to do here! Litterly this city closes at 6pm! The RNR Hall of Shame is just a giant tax exempt eye sore! The city would have done much better if they had put a little bit more money into the Great Lakes Science center next door!
Now Pittsburgh... I'm gearing up for a road trip to Ikea so why not add this to my stop! Sounds fun!
This is also true with the Weather Reporters! CRAP how many STORMS OF THE CENTURY have we had in the last few years since Doppler 3 Radar? Stupid media with their "deliver an audience to an advertiser at any cost" mentallity make the simplest snow storm seem like THE BIG ONE, all in an effort to frighten people into watching their station! Come on! Time to line these dorks up against the wall along with the pattent lawyers.
in the real world the bus schedules are like project time lines. Some jackass in management came up with them, they're unrealisitic, and are never achived. Whats worse is RTA (here in Cleveland) half the time DOESN'T EVEN STOP! They run so late that they can't fit any more bodies on the bus and blow by stops!
How bout they change the way the R button works so when pressed it prints an E I'm forrvrr doing this and wrll I don't srr why this shouldn't br a top priority
Strange. I went to the FAQ on the Anti-Leech site and the banner they're running is for a program called ZeroAds, and the tag line reads... "Surf the internet faster without popup ads!" Great...
I've got a drawer in my appartment that has 2 Handsprings Visors and a Prism in it, I also have another Handspring Visor Delux which I use in the following manner.
1. Wake up @ 6:30 am & hit the sync button on the craddel.
2. Preset daily alarm goes off 4:30pm for me to lock my file cabnet for the night
3. 7:30pm Place device back into craddel..
4. repeat
The whole process of Sync'n the thing is totally useless unless I'm stuck in a meeting on an given day. Then I'll actully check into what ever I've downloaded off Avantgo. I don't need it as a rolodex since my cell phone has all the numbers I could ever possibly want. Now if I could just remember to lock the damn filing cabnet I'd toss the whole thing.
At one point I even bought one of those real expensive Rhino Skin metal covers, and added another 2 lbs to it's weight.
Humm... Guess I should sell my Palm & Handspring stock tomorrow.
Ok.. I cheated once too... I didn't falsify results... I just copied my results off Kelly who sat next to me. The proff always thought I was one of the better students and that Kelly and I excelled. Well Kelly did... I just sniffed TriCloraEthonal all year. Got some screwed up brain cells now...

there doesn't seem to be anything out there that I wanna listen too or watch! Creative society is dead. Spoiler TV is the only thing I watch now.

does this mean that Georgia has to go on high orange or teal alert?

Well if this is going to be anything like the slash dot meet up here in Ohio, how many people will sign up but be no shows?
