"Bingers were defined as male students who had at least five drinks in a row on at
least one occasion in the two weeks before the survey, or women students who
downed at least four drinks in a row. A "drink" was defined as 12 ounces of beer
or wine cooler, 4 ounces of wine or a 1.25-ounce shot of liquor.

A 170-pound man could consume
approximately four drinks in an hour on an
empty stomach before reaching 0.08 limit,
according to National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration statistics cited by MADD.
A 137-pound woman could have three drinks in an hour before reaching 0.08.
So if I have this straight. Four drinks you are still OK to drive. Five drinks you're a binge drinker. That must be one heck of a fifth drink.

3 Arrested In PlayStation 2 Robbery
Police from Montgomery County and the City of Rockville have arrested three young people
suspected of wrestling away a new Sony PlayStation 2 from a 15-year-old. The computer game
was released for sale just yesterday. Police say two 18-year-old men from Silver Spring and a
20-year-old Derwood woman were charged with robbery in the incident at the Best Buy store on
Shady Grove Road in Rockville. One suspect is accused of pushing the youth to the ground,
while a second grabbed the victim's backpack. Police later found two suspects near Shady
Grove Road and I-270. They located the third suspect with the backpack and the game near
the store.
When I suggested they were holding back supply, I meant in the short term to ramp up the hype , maybe even make it on the 11 o'clock news (showing lines of lucky shoppers clutching their prizes). I fully expect them to be easily available by the Christmas shopping bonanza.
Reversi is the best game ever shipped with Windows. They have gone downhill since then.
Also in which version did they introduce the blue screen of death ?
The Court has said that the FBI has 10 working days to create a timetable for when it would start producing records of how the system works.
So 10 days to say when it will start producing information but no deadline to actually produce the information.
I know AOL is a pariah among/.ers but the only possible way I can see the IE large market share being reduced is if AOL makes Mozilla/Netscape their default browser after their current agreement with M$ runs out. Using the skins in Mozilla they should be able to make it look close to what AOL users are used to seeing at the moment (so they wont scare AOLers with something that looks radically different).
The funniest Star Wars parody/homage I have seen is Star Dudes, an 800K/5 minute shockwave film. It summarizes the whole of Episode 4. You can find it at http://theforce.net/theater/animation/stardudes
Lastly, the deployment of these boxxen on networks could be challenged under the First Amendment by a particularly talented ACLU/EFF type law team. the first amendment just prevents the government suppressing speech. any private company could put these boxs on "their" bits of the internet. publicly funded universities probably could not.

Sony are probably holding back supply to build the hype. Lines at stores, $1000 auctions etc.
Reversi is the best game ever shipped with Windows. They have gone downhill since then.
