Ooh! I totally forgot about this game. I remember dedicating a lot of free time to EV. I think I might have to bring my PowerMac 603-E 200mhz out of retirement to play that game!
I visited the local post office and had them verify the shipping cost. The US Postal worker said that shipped box which weighed 2.84lbs cost $5.20, from your description ("Insurance is included and required"). The US Postal worker also informed me that the item was not insured for any amount whatsoever, also when items are insured a "blue" form is attached with a tracking number. If you have the "blue" form, please send me the tracking number, to let me know that the US Postal Worker assisting me made a mistake.
[Note: After we talked on the phone, he admitted that item was not insured.]
If you have "lost" or "disposed" of the insurance form, I am only going under the guides of the US Postal Worker's professional experience, who has told me that this shipped item was not insured.
Futhermore, I hate to tell you that the merchandise is counterfeit as helped defined by ASUS (I reviewed ASUS's web site, http://usa.asus.com/inside/Techref/right.ht ml).
[Note: I found this by accident, I had to flash the bios to support the AMD XP chip so I was surfing ASUS web site.]
Here's the evidence, I gather to define the Asus A7A 266 motherboard ("item") you sold is "Unauthorized" by Asus: - There's no product serial number on the box - Printed circuit board manufacture is not printed on the back of the board - Bios label is square in shape - Product serial number is not on the mainboard
The only thing that makes it "ASUS Authentic". - Product wrapper stylizes in square shape
In response, to you posting postive feedback. The auction ended "Jan-15-02 06:58:10 PST", I paid for the item "Jan 15, 2002 07:54:48", that is a same day payment and within an hour after winning. Of course, I should have positive feedback because I carried out my deal promptly. (Refer to PayPal #ID. #??????????????)
[Note: He was pissed that he gaved me a positive feedback and I gave him negative feedback.]
A resolution I highly recommend to completely extinguish my legal persuit against *the seller* would be a refund of my $107.92 and in addition $14.95 (for shipping and handling the item back to you) and $2.00 for insurance. The grand total would be $124.87, this amount maybe transferred electronically via PayPal or through a money order.
(I suggest reading eBay's User Agreement "Section 5.3 Fraud" http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-user.html )
If you are in the sales department or customer assistance of *the seller*, I'd prefer to have a further discussion with your manager or someone in the legal department regarding this eBay transaction.
In light of this email, if you still need to resolve this transaction over the phone. I will be delighted to entertain a phone call which will be 100% recorded in its entirety.

I sent the item back COD, he refused to accept the item. Thirty-days after the auction, I contacted eBay for a refund, I am still waiting for them to do something. Since he mailed the item via the USPS, I would have a nice case of fraud against him.
My pursuit isn't for the money, its actually against the idea that people use eBay to scam items. I have no problem spending $$$ in fraud case against him at all.
The quality on the Morpheus version are terrible, after downloading Chris Rock's Bigger and Blacker and relizing how much I enjoyed the movie. I went out and got the DVD. I found it more like giving the movie a test drive.
I love the look and feel of this web site, it makes me feel all squishy inside! Maybe Slashdot should have skins for each user! What does everyone else think?
you are working on a Saturday afternoon when the weather is sunny and warm...you're waiting for the QA team to go over bugs, you can't leave work til there closed...and you're reading/. to pass the time.
I agree with you that RealAudio streaming is terrible. I'd prefer QuickTime, myself. However I've always listened to baseball games via RealAudio and since one the teams I'd listen to several hundred miles away -- I don't mind. $10 isn't that much for the dozens of games that I will listen to at work.
I took a Darwin class in college and debated the issue Darwin VS God, where I interviewed a Catholic priest as a primary source, as well, as read through some Church documents. From what I gathered and remember, the Church states, God began the process of creating humans (The presence of a soul in humans separates man/woman from animals). In other words, he didn't say "Hocus Pocus, I am going to pull Adam and Eve from my magical hat." The "process of creation" could be something quite similar to Darwin's evolution theory. The Biblical tale of Adam and Eve should be interpreted as "folklore". So this story doesn't fully address nor fulfill "Creation vs. Evolution" debate in the present day. God and Darwin can be both correct.
No you are wrong. Please read this press release from the Web Standards group which comments and applauds the effort by the Netscape 6/Mozilla developers. They state: "Netscape 6 exceeds all previous browsers, including Netscape's own, in the scope of its support for W3C and other Web standards. The new Netscape browser supports HTML 4, XML 1.0, CSS-1, DOM Level 1, and ECMAScript (the standard successor to Netscape's JavaScript), as well as key parts of CSS-2." (http://www.webstandards.org/netscape6.html)
IE 5.x also creates a lot of problems by using M$ft's own implementation of IE specific HTML codes.
For the past two days, I've been working on a HTML coding standard for my company, I've going to recommend that HTML code should be validate using Netscape 4.7x and W3C's own validator or any validator that uses a SGML parser (I believe there's only two others).
IE best advantage over Netscape 6 is its intergration into the operating system which gives IE better performance.

Probably the best site for Mac tools/utlities is versiontracker.com. Try Nifty Telnet, I found this to be the "best" for the Mac. There's also a Nifty SSH client as well. If you want to do tracerouters, PINGs, etc... try What Router
With all the companies going bankrupt, does it seem that great domain aren't as hot anymore (See fuckedcompany.com). I found this article which list the Top Ten Most Expensive name purchases. Besides altavista.com which sold for $3.35 million, I haven't been nor need to visit any of the other sites like wallstreet.com (a gambling site nothing about stocks or trading is mentioned there) or drugs.com (there isn't even any information about drugs on the site just click through links to generate money).
I don't believe you need to have "standardize" name as your domain to be sucessful at all. Google.com and C|Net.com are doing pretty good with their branding AND w/o spending $X mil for their domain.
I use to work for a company who bought a "high profile" domain name and it hasn't been as successful as they thought and the company laid off some people, including a good friend. So any company tempting you with their advantage of having a high profile domain instead of their product or whatever...beware.
Our company ended up buying a foosball table which is currently dominated by our team. Since we play everyday at lunch or even afterwork, everyone has their own style of play which makes us better than average.
We ended having a season and playoffs and true geek fashion built a PHP/mySql web site to track stats. (We'll probably open-source the foosball stats program on souceforge eventually). If our managers can't find us in our cubes, they'll find us in the Foosball "Arena".
Also, a while ago, they asked if we wanted to go out for dinner as celebration for our dedication. Of course being so busy we never went out for our team lunches or dinners, so we figured we would be more productive with 19" monitors.
Right now, I don't see any PSX2 titles I would want to buy. In November, Star Wars: Star Fighter will be released and I'd have to wait til 2001 Q1 for the game I truly desire...Gran Turismo 3.
My current favorite games are Counter Strike (based on the Half-Life engine) and StarCraft. PSX2 has nothing close to this. I don't even think I want any DVDs til the Pavement live DVD is released. My parents have a DVD player and watching the Matrix and Private Ryan are getting boring. I don't have a problem waiting for the market to catch up with the HYPE!
BTW:
I have a friend who got two PSX2 and he plans to sell one for $1000+ on eBay. He waited in line for eight hours so if you break it down, he got paid $80/hour to wait for PSX2. That's not bad at all.
I don't think m$ will be buying their innovations anytime soon with their ".net" idea. They are trying to direct more attentions to creating more business than losing it. Simple.
I am a resident of PA. Last year, I read that the PA gov't wanted to bring tech companies into the state. I assume by passing a law like that, a company could be financial compensated from a virus creator. Also recently, Philadelphia is considering passing a law that would make stock options non-taxable. Another move to bring start-ups into the region.
With Seattle economy booming due to Boeing and M$ and Northern Virginia's AOL...PA is trying to grab the coat-tails of the internet money.
I don't want a Range Rover, just a range for my rover.

I'd like to see the final count.
Count mine first "congratz."
Yes I agree. My foosball skills have decreased dramatically since the company went under.
adjusting monitor color via the web? hopefully i put some fuckedcompany points on you.
you are working on a Saturday afternoon when the weather is sunny and warm...you're waiting for the QA team to go over bugs, you can't leave work til there closed...and you're reading /. to pass the time.
Boy does the truth hurt!
This isn't funny at all.
If the product is good than Indreama will get money.
We have seen and most of us have experience start up companies on the verge of disappearing only to have mom and dad (VC money) pull them out.
I don't think I am being too idealistic, am I?
Before this threads get out of hand. SpeakEasy is an ISP with DSL service. Their DSL is provided by Covad, so if Covad fails than SpeakEasy fails.
