i think the word in question is less likely to be dell and more likely to be the code word that they use for the carnivore machine.
passing yourself off as knowing something in a conversation is just as good as actually knowing it.
its all about espionage.:P
why is it that they have to finds new and creative ways to advertise to you? its freaking rediculous how people make a living by selling our personal information and what we look at.
i'm just guessing, but maybe there is some sort of federal/international law that dictates who can and can't ave satellites and no one who qualifies for that wants the damn things.
i think what they are doing is using mathematical sytems(fractals are completely mathematical systems) to classify music based apon its mathematical properties(classical for one is highly based in mathematics, i dont see where you could pull an argument that techno and all its associated genres isnt). basically you end up with slight variations of fractals based on the music so you can pick a song you like, get a fractal for it, specify a range of similarity and press go and the thing will search and grab stuff for you. this sounds awesome to me. basically drum n bass will look very little like its 4 on the floor counterparts, likely, and slightly different based on all its subsets.
i agree with you wholehaeartedly about FF, even though it has been changing with leaps and bounds for the last several releases. but i cant see how your comments hold any truth as far as the dnd movie is concerned. just looking at the dndmovie.com site shows shot after shot of similarities between the paper and dice game and the movie. especially if talking about a dragon heavy campaign, the type of thing that TSR and now WoTC seems to like to push.
strangely enough, OT but you made me think of it. at times AT&T acts very closely in conjunction with the government by helping the gov locate illegal activities over their systems. i'm not just talking phone systems here either.
what you are suggesting here is a decent idea except that i dont think you understand how copyrights work. if i make a joke that no one else has told i have copyright on that joke, regardless of whether or not i register it with congress, etc. if i decide that i dont wnat you or someone else to ever use that joke, that is my legal right, because the joke is my intellectual property. the joke analogy is pretty lame, i know. but i am trying to state a point. if a band plays their music for a concert and decides they dont want it taped/reproduced/distributed, that is their legal right, and many bands etc are that way.

more likely they felt embarassed because he rejected and basically insulted that which they had been upholding for a very long time.
