Yeah...I seem to remember those things, but my mom always told me that I should read more often and stop watching the damn theater so much - that it'd rot my mind:)
Problem is most of the local theatres like to do the musical standards - very little classical stuff. And the ones that do are further than I care to drive, or are a pain to get to.
My office mate got a similar letter from another registrar and sent them a check. He's still trying to get the money back. He just assumed cause it said he needed to renew he did.
I'm trying to read the fine print at the bottom. It looks like it says "by signing the reverse side of this form, you hereby authorize to transfer the registration of your domain name(s) from your current registrar to Verisign, renew your domain name registration for a period of one year from the current record expires date, and charge your credit card for this order."
So, it clearly states what you are doing. But why is it so easy to transfer to Verisign?
I just let my domain lapse (not that it was doing much anyway) because I watned to get away from Verisign and it was a nightmare the hurdles you had to jump through.
Good think we have ICANN looking out for us...er...well for something.
you'd lose all those sexual innuendos that make Marlowe so much fun to read!
But you are correct - the more we go changing everything to fit with current views, the worst off we are for it. "Amos 'n Andy" was okay in the 50's and then got real controversial. It shows us where we've come from.
And if they rename the Two Towers, I want the third movie renamed, cause I don't want to be reminded of the former british oppression and the amount of money the monarch consumes for no benefit to the public. See...it's that simple:)
Yup...Forrest Gump is a great movie. However, I watch Shawshank more often - probably cause it's shorter. Never saw Hoop Dreams and Pulp Fiction was entertaining tripe.
Ghost World was a movie I would have loved to have seen nominated for something more than best adapted screenplay.
Then again, I guess I'm shallow too - I only watch the awards to see who's wearing what see-thru stuff. I wonder who'll be the first chic just to say hell with it and show up nude.
Cause they are all implemented as activeX controls.
Basically, you have all the stuff on your machine to run outlook, but you run IE instead of Outlook and the web pages pretty much call all the controls outlook would call.
When people develop players loaded with 500 pieces of gold, lots of treasure, a heavy sword, and plate mail armor - I'd like to see them try to swim and climb too:)
Not the stock kernel. Sure - there have been ports to the older stuff, but as you said, that is not what the guy was trying to say. He was standing there with a Caldera CD proposing it did.
Yeah...but once you get outside the porn groups the signal-to-noise ratio gets better:)
As someone else said, there are plenty of idiots posting the same questions over and over (groups.google.com anyone?), and topics tend to degrade, but for the most part, the groups that are actually dedicated to something are pretty decent. The Tolkien groups, the linux groups, some of rec.arts groups.
Lets see...Napster is dead. Morpheus is dead. Morpheus part 2/gnutella is a zombie (perhaps it's just me - I have yet to have it actually pull down a file for me. It keeps telling me the other end is busy or something.) Even when they were alive, you get half way through and someone cuts you off...or you find out that 80M download that took a whole day was actually mislabled.
On Usenet...sure - you don't get to search and finding a file involves posting a request and hoping someone fulfills, but you get bandwidth - assuming you want to pay for it...you get files that are there (assuming you have decent retention.) and not dependant upon someone being online. And unless you have a crappy server, you don't get halfway through a download and someone decides to kick you off. And 99% of the time, what something is posted as is what it is.
As for the replication - well, there is no one point of failure. As well, you don't have one site getting the shit hammered out of it either. I pay $9/mo for usenet...I get three fast servers to choose from and some high GB limit.
If I had to go to the same server as everyone else, you'd have the same problem that moviefone had when star wars tickets went onsale online - DOA - all with nice corporate control of content.
As much as I love and rely on VNC, I don't think I'd call it a remote display tech - more of a remote control app, otherwise you need to include PC Anywhere into the list.
While I'm not sure about Enterprise, the other three give each person their own session on the remote machine, where VNC just lets you see the console and can be cranky about sharing.
What happens when my cable modem is down and I wanna play, or I go to a LAN party with no outside connection? I get into the game and all of a sudden "could not connect to Steam server for texture x."
I have a cable modem so I have extra bandwidth. If I want to download some big file while playing and streaming an mp3, I can do it. Forget it if this is using 90% of my bandwidth!
MagTek sells some cheap readers that run off the voltage from the serial port or USB.
$86 for the small port-powered serial one. Yeah...it's not just a palm, but it's just as easy to carry a notebook with you with this hooked up. Driver software is basically anything that can read the serial port.
I've got one laying around somewhere - had great fun swiping anything with a magstripe. Now I've moved on to greater evils - a Mobinetix with a cardswipe and signature capture:)
I hate them personally, but they are fun to play with.
Speaking of desalinization - when I was in Aruba they had a desalinization plant for fresh water (which cost something like $3.00 a gallon or something high). The guide said that because the import salt and most things from the Netherlands, they just take the salt yanked out of the ocean and dump it right back in - right by the desalinization plant.
WOW - you want to see some salty water. Andre the Giant could easily float:)
After all, when your country strands you on the moon and has no way of getting you back down, of course you will need tons of room for all the supplies.
Damn...that must have been one huge beast if that just held all the rockets.
Wonder what Steve Buscemi's Armageddon character would have to say about that:)
It's probably all so that fat bastard over at aint-it-cool-news can sit there and rave and drool over anything that hollywood throws at him.
Though you must commend him for the charity work at the Drafthouse with the butt-numb-a-thon.

I dunno...I seem to remember somewhat enjoying watching the Pac-Man cartoon that was on CBS in the 80's - their Saturday morning supercade as well, with Pitfall, Donkey Kong and some others. There was also a Dragons Lair cartoon - yeah...that's a stretch:)

I've never actually read that play, but I can just see BlackAdder and Baldrick going back and forth in that scene.

Caldera at Networld+Interop in 1997 telling someone that Linux runs on a 286 because the guy was going on and on about his old 286.
I even butted in to correct him and he insisted that it ran on a 286.
I decided not to go into the details of the boot.s file, and how it sets up all the protected mode stuff for the 386.
Well, there was this girl in college I knew...

Phillip-Morris claimed that they didn't know cigarrettes were addictive.
Napster claimed that they were unaware of people trading illegal music on their network.
What's next? Some crack dealer claiming that because he bought his stash from someone else, he assumed the other person was selling a legal product?
Gee...I should have bought those offered speakers off the back of that van that one time and then claim I thought it was a legit store.

At least they were honest about it. If you look at the picture again, the car appears to be driving right down the middle of the road.
It's probably all so that fat bastard over at aint-it-cool-news can sit there and rave and drool over anything that hollywood throws at him.

Even better...you need to make it so you see the sign and the translation out of sync with each other.
Nah...whatever they do would have to be more exciting than my daily life :)
