Took em a little while to realize that without a little bit of data stored on the dongle, your models would eventually disintegrate into a pile of spiky crap.
If you look for porn, you will find so much porn that you will not be able to look at a fraction of it.
However, the same thing goes for heraldry and blazons, Loglan, go, Irish music sessions, AK-47 variants, Super Mario Bros. 3, or gender studies- to name the contents of some of my most recent bookmarks. They came off of Google searches that spit out thousands of pages each.
You can make up a bunch of stickers that have nothing more than the web address for your band or your blog or whatever written in an interesting way, plaster them everywhere at sight level, and you'll get a few hits from it. A web address is best used as a link from a tiny part of the real world (a business card, a t-shirt, a sticker on the wall of the bathroom at a dance club) to whatever else you'd like to tell someone. Pretty much every weird sticker or poster you see put on anything that will stand still has a web address on it. Near where I live, a cellphone company put up lots of billboards that just had their web address on it. The fact that I heard about this from other people says that it was a useful marketing tactic, this time. Not sure if it sold anything, but it did get the word around.
"My bullshit web company didn't succeed because it was bullshit, and the only new or good thing about it was its.com address! God, come from heaven and save me!"
How about retooling your business plan to provide services and products that people want. Saying that the only successful businesses that use the web are web-only companies (such as porn) is like saying that the only successful businesses that use the highway are truck stops, motels, and Cracker Barrels.
Spam becomes less successful daily. The first successful spam was the Green Card Lawyer spam and it's all gone downhill radically from there.
As far as fraud goes, show me a commercial space that's free of fraud and I'll show you one that's pretty profitless, constrained, and empty of innovation in general.
When I want to find out, say, where I can train in kendo, I could start dialing phone numbers that spell out "KENDO" on the numberpad. That would get me exactly nowhere. I could, however, go to the phone book, and look at that. The phone book approach is far more likely to be successful.
Content-based oversight of domains is useless if not done right, and too costly to do right. Let's not do any of it at all, and rely on the phone books of the Internet to do the work for us. Furthermore, the phone book approach provides a built-in quality control- if one phone book puts dealers of Kawasaki Ninjas and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles under the Martial Arts section, word will get around, and their usage will decrease in favor of those phone books that manage to put the right things in the right places. There is no "Ministry of Directories" that makes sure that every directory of anything is correct. Quality control is gained through verification with other humans.
Google got to the top because their search results are remarkably good. If someone puts out better results, they'll go higher than Google. A central, condition-immune TLD registrar has no such incentive.
Perhaps they just mix your Grandpa up with a bunch of other folks and dump them into a big old compressor for a while, and then chop up what comes out and sell it to you.
That would be my guess, right off the bat. Isn't there not a whole lot of carbon left in ashes, anyway?
Does that mean that everyone who dies in a factory accident, such as falling into a smelter or getting forged into a pipe by a rolling machine, loses their ticket to the Rapture?
No one will care until this whole mess is left, wheezing, flayed and bleeding, on everyone's front steps. No mother will care until her son is dragged to jail for downloading a CD.
If these folks want to get hard and dirty, we'll see if they survive the Gotterdammerung they kick up. Let's have them get all jokey-pseudo-government on us, and see how far it gets them.
In the meanwhile, please carry on as you always have. That, at base, is its own justification.
Most of them don't even need to speak properly- they can get by with grunts, points, and rolling on the ground with bellies up in a submissive posture.
Does "free trade" really mean "free trade as long as we can profit from it"?
Why, yes, yes it does.
It's very fun when doing 3D design

Put your primary manipulation views on monitor 1, and then put one really big scene view on the other one. Good fun, and you can devote as much screen space as possible to actual fiddling room.
nView is cool- but underpowered

I'm a multihead-one card user right now, myself- but it's impractical to do anything heavy and 3d on more than one monitor at once, as the card is already laboring hard enough to support one screen.
No, if you want very fast 3d on both screens you'd better go for two cards.
And in practice, I'd have to say that some of the driver issues with dualhead on one card have been exactly as weird as the ones I had with two cards. I still do dualhead on one card because of power and space concerns, though.
On the other hand, one advantage of having one card do two monitors is that the capabilities of both monitors are relatively equal (in practice, head 2 is a little weaker than head 1 on recent nvidia cards) so you can throw a performing 3d app from one screen to the other without entering into a magical hell bus ride of slowness.
Sadly, these days it's an effort to tell the good kids from the bad...
Also, multi-monitor setups...

What if you don't want to be stuck with the magical mystery tour of "whatever PCI video card we can pull out of the junkpile" for your secondary card?
And sheesh, some of those AGP-less machines are really cheap. For someone who isn't a gamer and does not give a pair of matched fucks about Unreal Tournament 2003, such a thing is a smart buy. If they later decide to start gaming, hey, they can always get bumped up to the minimum necessary to enjoy what's out there now.
And hey, you can get your 3d game fix perfectly well with the near-infinity of halflife mods out there, none of which require anything terribly mighty. Hell, the integrated stuff on the newer Intel boards can play quake3 just fine.
Foreclosure means that loan terms have ended with the involved creditors no longer willing to negotiate. Thus, they're going after the company's assets to get their money back. Declaring bankruptcy is what you usually do if you're either expecting foreclosure or if it's on your doorstep.
Unless the world has a game element, it will not be used. Why? Because IRC/IM systems are far more flexible.
When we enter a communication area, we prefer to use it to eliminate spatial boundaries which impede communication in "meatspace". If the spatial boundaries are present, there had better be a damn good reason (such as "it's good to be far away from people who are trying to shoot me", or "the areas are very pretty and it is challenging to pass through one to get to the rewards of the next", or "I built my own custom area, come and see it.") If the space is purely oriented toward communication and collaborative work, the space must integrate with the purpose of communication (such as a collaborative 3d map builder.)
Attaching a non-interactive world area to something like a chat room has been tried before ten million times, and no one is interested, as it defeats the purpose of both elements (wastes time walking, and why bother?)
You're talking about the company that used an authentication chip to control who could make games for the NES, and then sued Tengen when they reverse engineered it to make their own games.
Nintendo would very much like a return to those days of dominance.

Of course, the crackers got past that too
As usual, we only get anything when the giants are busy beating one another up, instead of focusing their fists and feet on us.
It's an old concept, and one that those who would promote change of any sort have long understood and espoused. Separation of powers, anyone?
Hurrah for disagreement among behemoths!
In fact, I know a few that could sit on the gorilla and be victorious.

A house.
Made out of dead people.

The armonica is still being made and played today- many modern artists make music with this instrument. Here's a few sound samples.
