That's better than Spider Robinson predicted in his Lady Sally stories: They'd be reduced to making the Mac power switch.. until the version that was voice controlled. (Written back when there was a USSR and IBM was the Great Enemy.)
But whether the gift was a dime or in the millions, he had to be persuaded that his charity would do some good. He wanted results, not just to give handouts, and he sought the best counsel he could obtain on giving money from Frederick Taylor Gates, a former Baptist minister who became a member of his staff. Gates had to convince him in detail of the advisability of what would come to be called "scientific philanthropy." And what sold John D. was that this systematic approach to giving would accomplish a nationwide and even worldwide reordering of mankind's current status.
A while ago, as in it disappeared sometime in the last few years. I remember ooo-ing and ah-ing over the paths to utzoo when they added the old archives from Henry Spencer.
Grisoft's AVG Anti-Virus. Make sure you get AVG 7.0 because support for 6 will end with 2004. No complaints, but I only run it now-and-then because the idea is to stop them before they get installed.
The Slashdot crew passed this really cool fun app all around, and now, ummm, they're all just kind of checking into spyware removal tools. Coincidence, I'm sure.
They quietly dropped the Path: line from the headers in the view original format option a while ago. Why??? It's very important for detecting forged posts, and provides very interesting historical propagation information. (Very interesting to some people, at least.)
If you pick up copyrights on everything you can, you can torpedo anyone who infringes on them until the day Disney lets the government let Steamboat Willie slide into the public domain. (Sometime in the reign of Queen Dick.)
Some little dweeb wants a site that uses some graphics from a game? Fire tubes 1-4!
I should mention that this effects me personally. I used to work for a small coin-op arcade game company, and we did a game back in 1983. The company is long gone and the last Intrepid probably died years ago too.
A few years ago, I installed MAME and a copy of the ROMs from a site and played it a bit for nostalgia's sake. (It's plain awful by non-1983 standards!:) Like a fool, I didn't keep a copy. The last time I looked (not very hard) I didn't find it because sites have gotten cautious about copyrights on old ROMs.
So, one of the few people that might care about those ROMs can't get a copy even though my initials are fourth down on the high-score list. All because of submarine IP that never really goes away unless the owner is absolutely completely gone or someone explicitly puts it into the public domain. (As I recall, in 1983 the laws were in flux as to copyright applying to ROMs at all.)
Or even worse, the company has gone out of business but the copyrights have passed on to stockholders or other creditors in a chain with more begats than the Bible, and who knows where the rights are now. It's probably safe to do things with it, but there'll always be an IP submarine waiting out there for the right moment to strike. (Just look at how junk patents are acquired from mostly-dead companies by litigious b-tards.)
Slashdot Mirror
Nazis always get their head melted in Indy movies. Maybe he should wear a helmet or something?
Remember that we've seen old Indiana in the Young Indiana Jones TV show. Wears an eye-patch.
What about spammers that use relays of zombie boxes to lead to their real site? (With stupid spammer tricks to obscure the links.)
It never gets old as long as people have Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem (FUSSP) bright ideas.
An interesting claim. Proof?
But if it ran Windows, you'd get more pop-ups!

Either that or China now has a Slashdot of their own.
5) Somehow their own IP address got into the BitTorrent system as having the last piece of the XXXDEBBIEDOESDDOSXXX video.
Speaking of which, here's an interesting tidbit:
I wonder if there's any relat-- Ooh! shiny!I'll have to remember to use a Banana phone when I call to order pizza.

Waaaah! Etch-A-Sketch moment! (Violently shakes head upside down.)

It's also useful to check to see if anyone who shouldn't have has requested your credit info. (Like a certain creapy UFO nut cult.)

To be in much agreement with you, soft one!
Make the leaflets soft but absorbing reading and they'll thank you for it.

Really? I heard he was frigid.
Yahbut, 0 F is when the roads ice up even when they've been salted. That's an important temperature.
