It's like every three months people forget and have to report it again.
This is Slashdot. The editors here flush their memory buffers anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 days, and report the same story again as soon as the memory is freed. Three months turnaround is a pipe-dream when you're talking about Taco and Hemos.
oad up the 200M hard drive with 20-30 good games like Kings Quest etc
Yep. As soon as I can afford a new PC, my P-200 gets turned back into a DOS PC. Makes playing the old DOS games easier (Except Ultima 7). Privateer, TIE-Fighter, etc.
"Hi. You obviously haven't been a long-time subscriber to Showtime since you bought this DVD. Or someone decided to play a nasty little joke on you. Since Showtime decided to show Groundhog's Day 2-3 times a day, every day, throughout 1996 and 1997, I find it hard to believe that anyone would shell out the money for the DVD. Since you don't know what you are getting, I'll shut up now."
I don't know about legality, but the company I work for got slammed by MCI last fall, after we opened a branch office. It's quite a noticable difference going from our ~$0.07/minute AT&T contract rate, to the ~$0.55/minute rate MCI was trying to charge us.

Absolutely! Only by forgetting the past, erasing painful images, and ignoring anything that makes anyone, anywhere the least bit uncomfortable, can we get on with our blissful, ignorant lives under the rule of our teleprompter programmers who tell our "elected" officials what to say and do.
Perhaps we can also finally put to rest those rumors of a "Holocaust" in Germany in the late '30s and early '40s. But you probably have already managed to put any reference to THAT out of sight and out of mind as well.
Whoopsie. My bad. And their prices ARE better than Best Buy. I bought a 6' digital coax from Lowe's for $9. The same cable at Ovation was in the $50-$60 range, at Best Buy & Circuit City it was ~$40. I misremember which brand Circuit City and Ovation flogs, outside of Monster, but those prices are hard to forget.
Cattle Company here in Indy has one (or they did, the last time I was there). Two people sit on opposite ends, and they can play Pac-Man, right through the top of the table!!
"Whatever you do will now be faster and more fun!"
I'd love see to a class-action brought by people who did not pass their kidney stones faster, and certainly didn't have more fun doing so, after installing Windows 95.
Hell, go to Lowe's, if you have one near. They sell the "Acoustic Response" brand, which works pretty doggone good for me. Good prices on cable, connectors, and wall mounts.
And i don't notice a bit of difference between those and my $20.00 monster cables.
Amen. Instead of shelling out $50-$60 for a 6' digital coax at Ovation, I bought a $9 6' digital coax at the hardware store. Seems to work pretty damn well. the 100s of feet of coax I've bought at hardwares stores to extend my cable TV in various residences works damn well, Comcast's claims to the contrary.
The CAT-5 connectors and jacks at Lowe's, on the other hand...
Setting up a digital camera is way too complicated and time consuming. Plus, the cat still gets into the house. Much easier, simpler and effective:.22 Long Rifle. With a good rifle, put one in the cats eye - problem solved.
Well, this kid who went to school with my brother did, sort of. He ended with a fair number of scratches about the lower belly from the cat resisting being "buttered".
...I wish the RIAA and MPAA assholes would get a whiff of it.
Better yet, send them to the Kellogg Sanitarium. Getting 5 gallon oatmeal enemas daily might give them an inkling of how their customers will feel if $MEDIA_WHORE laws are passed.

Yeah, so we're all IANALBIWTOTs (I Am Not A Lawyer But I Watch Them On TV) ... so what? :)
Be sure to add, "I watched an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was off, but I think I got the gist of it."

The floor salespeople at most retail outlets are so unbeleivably incompetent.
Isn't that why they're working in retail in the first place?
Yep. McDonald's AND the porno theater looking for a jizz-mopper turned 'em down.

about Blizzard being the bad guy because they shut down bnetd, YES, it is possible to hate the messenger but enjoy the message.
In this instance, Slashdot, specifically timothy, is the messenger, and Blizzard is the message.
Did you use a bnetd server, or an Official Blizzard BattleNet server?
