    Mirrordot.org pulled it. Hrm... is there a mirrormirrordot.org (who's the fairest of them all)?

    What they need to do is set their prices competitively and get some innovative content.

    Does this mean the Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith trailer doesn't count?

  5. Steal This Computer! on Best Buy: 20% Of Customers Are Wrong · · Score: 0

    If you don't like the price, then steal it! Years ago during my mispent youth I had a foolproof method for walking out the door with Best Buy merchandise! My friend and I pulled this off at least twice.

    When you first walk in the door there is a greeter. If you have a return they will give you their daily color coded return sticker. I just happened to have a Commodore64 computer game box (I think it was Batman or Robocop). Get the sticker and then walk over to the discount-out of box items. Place the sticket on, let's say a computer. Then walk to the return counter, before you get to the counter walk out the door. Luckily when I did this the front door people changed shifts so I just walked out with a new computer. They changed the layout of the stores, so this does not work as well as it did in the past. The put the customer service counter close to the enterence. ;{

  6. Licensing on Will Your Next Car Run Windows? · · Score: 0

    Would the Windows license be transferable to other drivers of your car? Do you have to buy a site or seat license?

  7. Interview List on 7 hour BBS Documentary Nearly Ready · · Score: 0

    Google cache of the Interview list

    The interviewees of note for me are Mr. Wayne Bell of WIIV fame, and Mustang Software Employees, makers of QModem software which I used as a dialer/emulation program.

    Oh, I remember the old days of BBSing. Really cool thing is that my old gang is still pretty close knit. We all ended up getting jobs at the same tech company, it was cool having 5-6 guys I knew so well at work. We have gone our seperate ways, but I do run into everyone from time to time. You cannot get a tech job in Orlando and swing a dead cat around Orlando without hitting someone you know.

    About WWIV, my friend Grim restored a backup of his board onto his modern day computer. The mail sort which took hours on the original computer only took minutes. It was a purdy thing.

  11. Robot Insurance on Will Robots Cheer Up the Elderly? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They need robot insurance from Old Glory. Because robots are mean and they eat old peoples medicine for fuel. Old people have no defence from their strong metal claws...

  16. Stock? I think not! Let's try the stockade! on Sega Giving Stock To Stop ISO Pirates? · · Score: 1

    Do you really think a company is going to give stock to software pirates? If Sega has enough information on Kalisto to give them stock, then Sega has enough information to have them arrested for copyright violations. Unless they are outside of the United States, but in that case I am sure Sega has valid copyrights elsewhere. You don't stop bank robbers by giving them a savings account.
