Well I never went there (I'm methodist), but my fiance did every now and again. Although I did used to live off of Thompson Road, so I know the oh-so-wonderful curves you're talking about.
Whoops, let me elaborate. That's the wrong Florence Fox. My fiance went to the same church (St. Genevive) as her and knew her as the bandana lady. Apparently she needed the bandana to help with her migraines.
She is listed at the following address:
Fox, Florence F 1711 W Hall Ave Slidell, LA 70460-2536 (985) 781-2542 (985) 643-9417
All of a sudden you didn't receive that one email saying you won the lottery. =)
I don't know what you're talking about. I still get at least twenty e-mails a day in my hotmail acocunt saying that I've won all sorts of great prizes!
Next thing you know I'll get an offer telling me how to "Grow my manhood" too. What a great time to be alive!
In a stunning discovery today, Slashdot editors discovered old news stories on their hard drive! In a mad rush to inform the public of their discovery said editors repost the story on their front page. News at 11.
Seriously, the old story can be seen here. Although it's the same story, at least the two posts point to different articles.
Fact: The per song per listener fee for every song an internet radio station plays is 0.14 cents.
Fact: The RIAA is seeking 3 year's retroactive payments from each broadcasting radio station.
Now let's do the math for my personal favorite internet radio station Digitally Imported. Currently they peak at around 6000 listeners, so let's assume an average of 5000 listeners for a 24 hour period. Given the fact that the mainly play trance/house/eurodance music let's also assume that they can play about 6 songs per hour (at the extreme end of the lengths of said tracks). The total cost to the RIAA per year to run this station follows:
total_fee = (number of listeners)(proposed fee)(songs per hour)(8760 hours per year)
Furthermore, take into account the retroactive payments. Assuming the station even started at 0 listeners 3 years ago and grew in a linear fashion (Gaining 1667 listeners per year) the total retroactive payments come to: retro_fee = ($73.58)(1667) + ($73.58)(3333) + ($73.58)(5000) = $735,800!!!
As far as I know, almost all independant broadcasters cannot even afford the yearly fees, let alone this outrageous yearly fee. It's simple math that can't be argued with. When the guy who ran Digitally Imported needed donations to upgrade the server that streamed the music, he was lucky to receive $3,000 over 3 weeks.
For the love of God, at least charge a lower rate or go to a profit percentage method of payment. Most webasters that I know of have no problem with these proposals, but they have been constantly rejected by the CARP commission.
To cover these yearly costs if the stationed turned to a subscription-based system, that would require the listeners to pay $80.00 a year to listen to something that is basically being offered for free as a labor of love by the creator. Now consider that FM radio is free. That would drive more listeners to the crappy cookie-cutter top-10 wasteland that is FM brodcast radio. Whose thumb is held very prominently over this media outlet? The RIAA. Is it any wonder now why they're pushing for such high fees? Drive out the internet radio stations, drive more listeners to their crappy stations, possibly boost their revenue. It's important that we think about these issues when they arrise as the big ten of the media are basically trying to dictate to us what we should and should not be able to use to entertain ourselves. So please, speak out. Raise your voice. Be heard. Thank you for listening to my thoughts on this subject.

The answer is obvious: a CDC-MP3 player from Aiwa. You really can't beat the price at just under $300 but you should be able to get it for about $250. It's the perfect addition to your geek-mobile or geek-mobile to be, and it costs a hell of a lot less that some other alternatives.

The answer is quite simple.
Everybody forgot the iddqd code.
Not if I get to her first. All I have to do is drive down the street to pick her up!

Oh well, there goes my idea for what I considered to be an original senior engineering project. Time to come up with something else now...

Good to hear, I couldn't stand the way that CGI version of R2D2 moved about, it just didn't look natural.
