    Remember in the late 90's when there were numerous individuals running their own Internet radio stations? And then some pissant organization representing the record companies shut them down? That's when the RIAA first appeared on my radar.

    So far it's been Webcasting>Napster>Kazaa>?? All they're doing is moving the cheese further and further out of *their own* reach.

    No, it's more like the store owner gives you a cookie gratis, after which the store is bought out, and the new owners claim that you stole the cookie. And the recipie.

    You're spot on, I used to work for Motorola and there was nary a PowerPC machine being used *anywhere* that I ever saw. Just x86 stuff for terminals and desktops. (I don't know what their server situation was like.)

    "Quite honestly, for commuters who take this route, this change makes much more sense, since the significant majority of commuters are not going to and from O'Hare each day -- it's from the area where the Allstate Arena is located," Butler wrote to Clear Channel staffers. "By the way, all of the concerts that are booked at the Allstate are from Clear Channel Entertainment!"

    More people traveling daily to the "Allstate Arena" than (possibly) the busiest fucking airport on the planet?!

    ClearChannel has mostly ruined Chicago radio (thank $DEITY for WXRT), and now they fuck up our traffic reports? CC has got to go, seriously.

    I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe Comcast is trying to make us customers nice and happy before laying some bad news on us.

  14. Re:Ouch on Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005? · · Score: 1

    Starting with "post-crash" systems sounds too much like revisionist history for me, I suppose next people will be claiming that Windows versions start with Win95.

    There was no "crash", the focus simply shifted for a few years to home computers until the NES brought it back to console gaming (and personally I wish the home computer trend had continued instead). Now, I must get back to programming my C64.. ;)

    I think the mini-series idea would work well. It would be great to see adaptions from the Silmarillion and Lost Tales like the Fall of Numenor, Battle of Gondolin, Turin & the Great Worm, etc.

    However, I can see it becoming an awful joke if the series wasn't treated with the proper respect. "Nazgul on Ice", anyone?

    Aluminum.. caused a lot of nasty fires back in the day.

    This is largely due to Aluminum's oxidation properties, which tends to create voltage drops at junctions. With enough oxidation, the joint becomes a better resistor than a conductor, the dissipated heat dissipated melts the insulation/wiring/hookup, and a fire may ensue.
