After 7 months I go 24 Season 1 disk 1... after a light rental month.
If this article is correct, just sit on your rentals for 30 days, and you should get them.
I've been thinking of ending my subscription for awhile, but I think I need to finish watching 24 first....

The Singularity
Abstract
Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.
Is such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can events be guided so that we may survive? These questions are investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers) are presented.
I recently switched over from NetBeans to Eclipse 2.0.x and am downloading 2.1 as I type. As far as Java IDE's go it is the best I've found. All the improvements in 2.1 are welcome. Using Eclipse is like having a well ordered workshop witj all the stuff you need close at hand. I think Eclipse has fewer features than NetBeans, but the features that are there are done better.
I still break out vi for basic text editing, but for Java coding this is where it is at.
I don't know much about the economics field, but it seems to me that Liebowitz is more of a media whore than a social scientist. Sales figures seem a very coarse screen by which to filter the fickle motivations of the music buying public. The headlines look neat though.

I agree, it's the groupies that make this whole programming thing worthwhile.

Then sleep time would be moo time!
It will be cracked in short order and be about as usefull as CSS is for the DVD format.

Back in 95 they tried a build to order system with Touch Screen kiosks in some Price Clubs (Soon to be Costco)
I worked on the kiosk system... it was kinda cool...
They didn't sell many systems though...
