As long as the modifications are equivalent across all the athletes competing in a given sport, won't this just make it all the more exciting for the viewer?
Mind you... faster isn't necessarily better, as shown by Formula One
For the time being at least Electronic Boutique will refund you fully and with no-questions-asked if you return a game within 10 days. It doesn't even matter if it's opened.
I have no idea what would be involved, or if you have the time or inclination, but this sounds like it could be an ideal project for you to try to write your own drivers.
Of course it'd be a task made harder without access to the internet, so you should probably buy another modem so you're able to get at those valuable online resources.:))
Personally I've never noticed much difference between bulk packs on spindles and the more expensive name brands. I've got (ahem) back-ups, vcd and audio disks on all sorts of different types, colours, sizes and supposed 'max speed' disks and I've never had any problems restoring my (ahem) back-ups on any machines, nor listening to the audio on a range of cd players, including my portable Technics and my Sony midi and the VCD play fine on my Wharfedale and on my PC.
My friend did comment that an audio cd I did for him sounded 'colder' than the original disk, to which i snorted at and informed him that that was impossible as it was a bit-for-bit copy, but I read somewhere that different quality cdr can indeed sound different, but as I'm no audiophile (regularly listen to mp3 through headphones without wincing) it doesn't bother me.
I recently had zeonews recommended to me. It's reminiscient of OE, but shows a lot more functionality. I prefer it to OE and ForteAgent which are the only two I've used regularly.
Zeonews is the latest version of newsgrabber, of which you might be able to get an older version free.
Excellent... although one of those links *really* hates Opera 5.12 though... locks it up hard.
How did you know you'd get UID 444444 before you chose your name? It's been a while since I signed up, but I don't remember being shown the # before the nick. A script, perchance?
It was reported here on slashdot, but I can't find the story to link.
I remember a lot of talk about hovering scooters and such. Your question reminded me. A quick search on google provided this link to the Project Ginger homepage.
Seems it's not a flying scooter, but a robot chair that can climb stairs, although the website's still not exactly clear what it's for, I'd guess it's for the disabled.
If you're in the right area you could sign up for NTL digital and get unmetered access free on top of your telly + phone, you might even be lucky enough to get their broadband package for £25 on top of the digital package (making the total as little as £40 for cable telly, phone line rental and broadband).
I wasn't in the right area, so I had to make do with BTOpenworld... £75 install + £40/month for ADSL.

Paypal states you can send money from a paypal account to any email address... Presumably they simply email the address in question and suggest they sign up if they want to receive the cash.
Basically, there's nothing to stop you attempting to send cash to the dude if you want to help him. --

I went to a talk by Mandelbrot, and he is basically a monster ego with feet and a big mouth.
I went to a lecture by Mandelbrot, some 10 years ago. He was very self-effacing, and claimed he was embarrassed by the use of his name to describe the set.
When did you see him? Perhaps someone took him down a peg or two in between the two dates?

Does the Principality of Sealand sell its passports?
No. The Sealand government has issued passports only to certain individuals who have lived there, or who have been of service to Sealand. It has never sold its passports. Unfortunately, on more than one occasion, criminal groups have gone
into the business of selling forged Sealand passports. They target Sealand
because it has very little recourse to stop them. Sealand's resources are much
too limited for it to launch its own investigations on foreign soil, and its
lack of formal recognition by other countries makes it difficult for Sealand to
enlist the aid of foreign authorities in such matters.
In the History Of Sealand there is more information about how a German businessman claims to have sold 150,000 fake Sealand passports for $1,000 each. As there are only 300 real Sealand passports in circulation there are 500 times as many fakes as authentic Sealand passports. --

Found this on Sunday night. Works lovely. And it's open source too, what more could you want?

Here in the UK you can't return software at all.

You're right... pictures I'd taken as concepts seem to be other people's impressions of what ginger actually is. (see sig)
I'm beginning to think more and more that it's a large practical joke. Still hasn't stopped people trying to cash in on the "latest thing".

So how much effort do I have to put in before I become disgusted with my 10Gb of mp3 and can't listen to it any more?

if you run Windows you have no such choice. It is installed and it is running
So explain how come I read my email and browse the web from Windows without using OE and IE?
Hint: Lotus Notes and Opera.

Why is my comment offtopic?
And Mr RTFA Anonymous Coward, try it for yourself, with the coordinates given in this example.
Ie: (x1,y1; x2,y2; x3,y3) = {0,-1; 1,1; 2,0}. You get an intersection point at {-16/5, -11/10}.
How about you try things for yourself instead of believing everything you read?
Sometimes I just despair of this fucking place.

You've got the /. effect on your side too! ... Probably more powerful than any momentum created through emails.
Not really, I know hundreds of people with access to email (and internet), only a fraction of those read Slashdot.
