even better, it should be automatic -- your spam filter identifies all the 1-800 numbers in a piece of spam and automatically redials that number over and over sending faxes or playing mp3's of celine dion....
Get a turntable with a tonearm that supports standard cartridges if you want something that will last. You can buy needles at guitar center or at a large electronics store (like Armetron if you have that where you are). Or if you're looking for 78 needles like the kind on a manual victrola some vinyl record stores carry them for like $2 for a pack of 25. But I suspect you're looking for the much more expensive diamond variety in which case you should get a DJ turntable or an audiophile one if you have lots of money; either way you should be able to find needles easier that way (though you'll probably have to order audiophile needles from the company).
Are they that arrogant to think that there is such great value is being able to watch their latest multi-million dollar dreg on a 17" monitor a few days early?
Yes. They really are. I live in Hollywood, and you can't even cross the street around here without slipping in a giant puddle of 'tude dripped by the latest wannabe producer. Conversations with people in the entertainment industry about filesharing are disappointing; a lot of them really do seem to think that pure gold issues forth from their movie projectors and that every precious note of their latest guitar jam should win them a place in the Smithsonian. The public has treated these brats like royalty for years; why should we expect them to behave differently? I've always believed that the MPAA/RIAA crusades against technology have a lot more to do with ego than with money.
Look, you may disagree with him, but Gore Vidal is one of the country's foremost writers and public intellectuals. He's been writing and publishing a sustained and articulate critique of the current directions of American political leadership -- from a decidedly patriotic, and small-r republican, perspective -- for decades. He was one of the most prominent intellectuals in this nation before I was born. Disagree with him all you like, but calling him an "idiot" like that betrays an incredible depth of ignorance.
This crazy Australian performance artist Stelarc gave this question some thought and decided that the throat was a natural wind tunnel that could be used to harness wind energy. So he hired a team of scientists to see what it would take to surgically install a windmill in his throat and to calculate how much energy could be produced there. He gave up on the project after learning that it would take some 600 years of heavy breathing to power a 9-volt battery....
If you don't believe him, look it up yourself. Everything he said is easily documented using google or any other search engine. I'm not going to bother because I remember reading about every single one of those points in the mainstream press when it happened. You would, too, if you'd stop listening to talk radio for five minutes and paid attention to the world around you.
Interesting, considering that one Canadian judge blocked the extradition of three prisoners to the US after a US prosecutor taunted one of the prisoners with rape in prison. The judge said that the idea of committing the men to prison in the US after they had been publicly threatened by a US attorney "shocks the Canadian conscience." So I find it difficult to believe that Canadian prisons are worse than US prisons in this regard.

But you did at least LATFP, didn't you?

Well, you might have a problem with torture, but this is China we're talking about.
They package everything in a Great Wall.
The basic reason was user friendliness. All the documents for Red Flag Linux are in Chinese!
Or at the very least, let's see how fast it copies a 17M file!
Right; that's just a GROOVY database.
I guess you've never used Office?

Until it features a big arrow that says "You are here!" I'm not interested.
Those are just the servers at his freelance gig, where he's busy trying to copy a 17M file....
ummmm, except in Rush's case, it's just false. This isn't about ideological bias; it's about intellect.

Yah. Good thing someone thought to commercialize operating systems then....

The name is a holdover from the original research project, which took place at Moscow State University in SOVIET RUSSIA.

Nah. what they're gonna do is encircle the net with black jhelicopters.
There actually is an internet2 project afoot, and it doesn't involve string.
They're finally getting around to addressing their Y2K problems.

It sort of depends on the size of the bag....
It beats being considered "funny" merely comprehending the point of a post and then regurgitating that post.
