Hrrrmmm. Your website has no DNS entry. I did a web search, and the closest match was Dr. J. Your email address is at yahoo, not a corporate address. (Mine is not listed because of a certain person hating my arse...)
Your thoughts provide curious possibilities, but there is no evidence of your existence, nor is there any way to follow up on this.
Before I completely discredit you, you mind responding?
June 11, 1979: The White Sox are forced to forfeit game 2 of twi-night doubleheader against the Tigers due the behavior of disorderly fans during Disco Demolition Night; Mike Veeck's promotion involves admitting fans for.98 cents with a disco record, collecting the vinyl and then literally blowing them up in center field.
Other info says that 5,000 out of the 50k that were there were on the field, and after an hour and a half delay, the game was forfieted and Detroit recieved the sweep. Found another page that claims July 12, 1979 was when this happened
July 11, 1979, coincidentally, the approximate time that I would have been concieved. Scary. I don't wanna think about it any more. I'm sure you don't either.
Moderators: Don't mod this up informative, it don't deserve it. But please don't mod down either.
OK Damnit, people listen for once. Stats don't lie. Except when you make them to lie.
Why did college area sales drop? Let's see, the stats that they site are roughly from the may to june time frame. What happens then? Hrmm.. Toughy.. Let's see. I personally take classes up til the first week of may, then dead week, then finals. What next? OH YEAH!! I GO FSCKING HOME!!!!
Gee, if college students pack up and leave, how are they going to buy cds?? NO WONDER THE SALES DROPPED!!! Did they ever site the drop in other areas?? Hrmm, maybe because it's been proven that it went up??
The stats are telling you what they want them to. </extreme rant>
I appologize for that, but I'm kinda tired of RIAA, and this is another example of why they're not earning a whole lot of my money right now (I admit, I buy one or two, because I'm moral and understand that the artists deserve money for their work, and if I did buy it the CD has to be good.)
Ok, so I wasn't alive at the time, but once upon a time there was a professional baseball team with a really cool idea.. DISCO NIGHT!
End result? A bonfire of more than umpty thousand vinyl records, a glorious day indeed. Center Field was a mess I recall from my reading, and there were more fans on the field than in the stands. If I recall right, they didn't even get the game in!! The people were against disco, and just in general feeling a need to be rioting. Needless to say, this was a nice push against disco.
A similar display would be appropriate would be in order, if RIAA wasn't colluding to raise prices. It would just cost too much..
Perhaps a giant microwave would work on RIAA's CDs??:) Or maybe a "CD Burner's Convention." Then they would realize that Napster is only a small crack in their problem, and they're attacking the wrong things. Maybe they'll realize it's best to just work with us instead.
Actually, I think sneakers had some non-mac laptops.
But this is a good point, almost all mainstream movies has Mac laptops, and many have mac desktops. Not very often you see M$ or other operating systems. Does it help them? Absolutely, or else they wouldn't keep doing it!
Acutally, Scoop states that although we have given them significant load, and caused many ISEs, we haven't taken the site down. They're kinda proud of that, and should be.
Good luck to em getting back up, let's offer all the support we can.
My friends, never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid^H^H^H^H^H^H nerds
If we had a bit of nerve, we could do this simply. K5 and/. get together on this. Once this little dippie gets back online, post his ip/nameserve/webpage/whatever to BOTH sites at once.
We could run several DOS^H^H^H/. attacks on them. Sure, k5 and/. may get in trouble, but I bet you the little kiddies won't screw with us for a while.
By doing this, it will show that there IS support for k5 and/., because I doubt the trolls will get in on the action. If they do, my respect moves up for them just a little. Overall, a feelgood for everyone involved, and a message to the morons out there.
Yet another possible abuse of DMCA.... I LIKE IT!!! Seriously, though, I am sure you can find a whole slew of laws to apply against this, and with caller id or call trace enabled, I'm sure you could make money off of lawsuits for a while until people wisened up.
You know that at least part of the book will be satisfying to anyoen. While I've found stories with his name that are just crap, there's always been a section in every one that I can relate to.
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that usually Clarke runs just a little ahead of the trend: IE Released 2001 before it was possible, stuff like that. This time though, he's released it when it's immediately relevant. I wonder why??
I still haven't heard of a practical use for the neutrinos other than to give scientists something to do. Is there someway we can use these for a practical purpose or to explain anything???
Well, the Corinthians were once an organization, but they are now defunct. So no.org for them. They're not an ISP, so no.net. The government went with the organization, so nix.gov. They weren't given a country name TLD, so what's left???? We need a another extension for personal/non commercial sites. And also add the specification that no business may own those, reguardless of similarity to a.com or.net or whatever.
In an email from our IT division that I recieved recently, I read that SANS hopes to be using a "virus" email patch- a virus email that exploits the problem to quietly patch it.
Neat idea, using a virus to fix it and stop others, if it works...
Below is the email I recieved from our IT (via SANS):
>I am forwarding this note to you as a FLASH because the vulnerability >it describes is probably the most dangerous programming error in Windows >workstation (all varieties -- 95, 98, 2000, NT 4.0) that Microsoft has >made. > >You are vulnerable to total compromise simply by previewing or reading >an email (without opening any attachments) if you have one of the >affected operating systems and have the following installed: >* Microsoft Access 97 or 2000 >* Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, including 5.5 (Windows 2000 includes > IE 5 > >SANS Prize: It may be possible to fix this vulnerability automatically, >via an email without asking every user to take action.

SANS is offering a $500 prize (and a few >minutes of fame) to the first person who sends us a practical automated >solution that companies can use, quickly, easily, and (relatively) >painlessly to protect all vulnerable systems.
If a website doesn't meet those "requirements", instead of linking in the article, we could place an unlinked http address in the article. That way people interested can go ahead and see the article, and some lazy bastards won't try to get to the site. Just a few people less, and maybe some sites won't get slashdotted. Probably won't work, but what the hey???
Now I'm no Katz fan by any means, but this time I think he did fairly well. Not toooo overwritten, fairly sound points (I can still argue though), and doesn't stick out like some of his others...
At least it wasn't a blind Katz post (Timothy: Did you learn your lesson??:)
You'd be surprised how difficult ftp programs, even in the browsers, are for stupid people to use. I'll be honest, the first time I used ws-ftp or a linux command version of ftp, I had some troubles. And I'm not a techno-dummy (but by no means a genious either).
This whole thing is kinda on the AOL principle: Build a point and clicker that dummies can use. People like pretty, so that is what is being attempted here.
Even though I doubt I'll use it, and stick to my network at the university, I wish em luck. It could have some positive results.. COULD.
According to the law, at least in the United States, a voter registration database may not provided to anyone other than not-for-profit orgranizations, at which point they may not pass it on to any for-profit organization. This applies to government supported institutions, which ICANN is. I realize this still leaves room for plenty of spam mail, but at least you can have some comfort you won't be recieving Microsoft product information as a result of signing up.
Damn, there was only **2** comments on this article when I clicked the link. And guess what: SLASHDOTTED. Some could say we are more effective than the government on taking down sites.
All stupidity aside: You know what?? I don't give a damn about the reviews. I read em, sure, but they don't affect my opinion. I just installed red hat in the past 4 days, for the FIRST time, and I can already tell you, most of those opinions aren't too far off. It does kick some major butt compared to our favorite m$.
Please consider the above with generosity, I couldn't actually read the article this time.:)
Grrrr.. I hate Politcal Correctness because of how ugly it has made it to write english, much less say something without offending someone.
I heard a radio commercial asking people to contact their congressbeing to combat the insidious eeeevil of internet gambling.
Congressbeing?? Is that like a divine entity or something? WTF?!?!?!
Ok people.. simple solution. If you are a male, use a masculine pronoun. IE him, his, congressman. If you are a female, use a feminine pronoun. IE her, hers, congresswoman (or man if you're lazy). If you don't know what you are, then damnit, you shouldn't be here.

This is kinda stupid that they say this...
OF COURSE UNIVERSITY SALES DECLINE AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, YOU DOLTS!!!
Jeesh. I tell ya. Someone had their head stuck up their arse when they did this.
Maybe they didn't- They were making the stats say what they wanted them to say.
To all ya'lls, thank you for responding and not trolling me. I must say, now I am quite impressed by this! Cool!
