That's a foolish argument. The parent suggested that such a thing was possible and you replied by saying "prove it with an established case". How does that strengthen your position? His original point was that Walmart could in fact control the prices of an area and when Ma & Pa come in cheaper, roll back their prices. Just because they haven't doesn't mean they won't.
Of course the Con-Ed transformer is not on fire. Neither is the ridiculous claims that five major US cities are without power. I can show you that my new apartment in Manhattan has power. Anyone who tells you differently is a fool or a liar!
I was reading this comment thinking, hey, hah. That's pretty goddamn funny. Then I realized that I was 20 miles north of Holland, MI. And then I realized, holy Christ. I'm 32 miles from slashdot mecca.
While I agree that your idea contains a substantial technical merit worthy of discussion I would like to propose a simpler, and perhaps less error prone method. In this method (patent pending) I propose that the editors of slashdot remove the crack pipe from their mouth and attempt to remember what they did five (5) minutes ago. Unlike my father, who has a glial blastoma tumor, and has a significant portion of his brain removed, the average slashdot editor should have a short term recall better than say, your average white ritalin suburbanite. Oh wait...
I didn't submit this, as suspicious as the coincidence may be. I remember when I was a kid I started a bbs (Fly By Night 1:3651/6) and wrote Mr. Sweeney asking him to be an official distributor of said software. Imagine my excitement when I got a letter back and 4 (?) floppies. Boy, with my TAG bbs, 200MB of harddrive space and every phrack to date I was the shiat. Well, that and I got to bear witness to the first 1 GIGABYTE SCSI harddrive ever installed in my local net. Holy crap, we had to get the local DuPont guy to install it. It sounded like a jet engine firing up.... Of course, it was promptly filled with a gig of porn. Yes, we called it porn back then kids.
Actually, it's barely tolerable come to think of it, but it was fun. You can find a not so bad version up at: mp3.com but I haven't updated that in a long time either.
Hey come on now, I resent that. I did that site. If anyone's interested in the details I'd be happy to tell... It was a lot of fun, and a lot of work and the result is barely tolerable when doing a mixed cast. And I'll tell you why, it's a lot of work doing a radioplay, and as many have noted the average aspiring voice talent doesn't have the resources to record their voice... What you get is the link posted above.:)
Of course it's a scam. It's a scam to scare the suckers into buying licenses. We got the very same letter for the past two years, and you know what? Every year it's weakened the proposition that we should install more back end MS products. If it weren't for the fact that no one in my office trusts Samba for anything other than an academic play toy and a handy tool for developers everything (back end, server wise) would be non-ms.
The worst part about it, my GM, the grandfather figure got one of those letters personally and got suckered into paying $400 bucks for Office and Project. Bah. If I had known that I would have been preaching Open Office or something to him.
Have been the sort of, if you don't like it, don't play it! I think it's this sort of defensive vitriolic reply that defeats the point of the article. That being, if you are considering playing EQ than you should probably save your money for something else. Albeit an obvious point. I myself found the game to be unfun after about 6 months running into many of the same problems. What did I do? Quit. I mean really, you EQ fan boys should just move along from this thread, it's not intended for you as I see it.
Why not just use punch tape? Or better yet punch cards! Hey, it'd give the geezers a chance to reminisce... Umm, just don't have it punched in Florida.
As silly as it sounds, the report if sensationalized, is true. Well, true enough that ASCAP used to have a link on their website with some serious damage control and such.

I realize it's poor taste to reply to your own comment and all but funny story.
I just showed my wife this comment. And I'm like, YEAH! Vindication! See! I'm not a nut, someone else out there hates space harpies as much as I do! The conversation went like this: Me: Yeah! Space sirens suck! Woo! Wife: Space sirens? Me: Yeah! It's like, you're this Ur Quan massive guy, and your whole thing is you launch like this swarm of locust fighter type thing and then this stupid dildo ship comes along and.. Wife: Dildo ship? Me: Dildo SHAPED ship... Wife: Uh huh. Me: Anyways those goddamn space tramps are all like, OOOOH AAAHH AAAH And you're like, GODDAMMIT! Wife: Uh huh. Me: And see, you're fucked because she can, OOOOH AAAAH AHH the whole time with your fighters, and you're toast. Wife: That's nice dear. Me: (silence, realizing the obvious)
Finally we have the source to do what I've always wanted to in SC2.
Annhilate those goddamn space harpies. OOOOOH I hated those with all of my Ur-Quan might. WHY THOSE SPACE WENCHES WILL QUAKE IN THEIR BOOTS when I uhh, get my hands on that source...
(proceeds to downloads and launches fighters for good effect.)
Considering that the Phalanx platform can like track up to a thousand targets simultaneously between two units via 3D imaging radar and not only tag threats via priority, the only real question is why a lousy Exocet could hit the Stark. thbbt. Human fuckups will ruin a system any day.

US Robotics also had a Trantor modem chip, iirc.

Ahh, good times. Good times.
That's because the site wasn't really updated since it was moved from radioplay.org. Just rewrite the urls to www.nabiki.com/radioplay/
Actually, it's barely tolerable come to think of it, but it was fun. You can find a not so bad version up at:
mp3.com but I haven't updated that in a long time either.

I probably should have said, "Never seen a camera mod". Afterwards I poked around google and found this:
Camera hack by BrandonW
Looks pretty cool, but it's depressing that Bioware didn't do it themselves.
I'm curious, I've never seen such a mod. Off the top of your head, could you point us to one?
Short answer yes. Long answer, read the old Phrack manuals. (Too lazy to look up a link, I think 2600 used to mirror all of that stuff.)

Your point is well taken. Thanks for the response. You'd think with a user number as low as mine I'd know that, but well. :)
Why not, everybody else does. My only sin is I didn't kill a space siren.
Whooooops!
That previous comment was supposed to be anonymous. Ah well, so much for preview. Granted, the sentiment still stands.
Duh hur. You posted that an hour ago after the dude posted his wife story that's purty funnyu considering your a retard. fag

Yeah, hence the comment. The whole system was disarmed. 15 hojillion worth of military gear crippled... *sniffle*
