All FightCloud CDs are 100% FREE! Shipping and handling is $4.95.
It costs $1.03 to $1.26 (depending on variance of weight between plastic jewel case and cardboard fold case, and sometimes the weight of book inserts) to send a CD via first class mail. A 25-count box of 6x9 padded envelopes can be purchased at Office Max for no more than $10, so that's another forty cents.
EFnet has introduced a channel fix service, called JUPES. If your channel is made opless for any reason, JUPES will op the five most opped people in its database. The service takes snapshots of the network at regular intervals to see who is opped on every channel at that time. If none of the five most opped people are on, you will have to wait for one of them to come onto the channel.

From the NY Times article:
At an average speed of 8 miles an hour, or three times walking pace, Mr. Kamen says the Segway can go 15 miles on a six- hour charge, for less than a dime's worth of electricity from a standard wall socket.
15 miles at 8mph--15 miles in about two hours. Add the six hour charge: eight hours. So, 15 miles in 8 hours.
It seems to me that Radio stations often determine what songs will be hits....
... the record companies pay to have their leading albums played, the number of new independent and local bands played is very, very limited.
Trouble is, the station is typically owned by a large corporation.
I worked at a modern rock radio station that was *not* owned by a larger corporation, and this is still how it worked. The good stuff got on air based on its own merits, but the crap got on air as a direct result of "support" from the record weasels. There was almost *always* at least one piece of junk in white hot rotation (category A, for those hep to the lingo;) because we were paid to play it a certain number of times per week.
Unfortunately, there isn't really a lot an independently-owned radio station like that can do to break out of the rut. The station needed money to continue operating. The Evil Empire provided that. sigh.
[the Internet]'s also a complete waste of time for people who want at least CD quality audio...
Uh, this just ain't true anymore. Sure, as long as people keep using crap like MusicMatch Jukebox, crap mp3s will keep floating around. But if you're willing to do your homework, it is possible to create mp3s that are indistinguishable from the CD in all but the most remote of cases.
...doing appropriate substitution for your own email address, of course. It would probably also be useful to include an explanation in case someone doesn't have JavaScript enabled.
The only problem I have now are legitimate mailing lists, like the PHP lists, which archive stuff to the web without obscuring addresses similarly. sigh.
Doubtful, but I'm confident you missed the point of mine. If a non-English speaking person has to translate the domain name to find it what it is, he would have to translate "IDoNotLike" just as he would have to translate "sucks". The point is moot.
Further, I don't know why I would care that Björn Björk in the fjörds of Öslö Nörway doesn't know what "sucks" means if I owned a "sucks" domain. Chances are what I have there wasn't necessarily written for him anyway. I would have used English vernacular because I speak English. In essence, you're applauding WIPO for regulating the use of slang in a domain registrant's native language. Yay.
He discontinued them in Sept. 2000 and released the source also.
For the record, what made Novaterm amazing was the fact that it [e|sim]ulated an 80 column display on the C= 64's normally 40 column text display. It was a bit difficult to read, but it worked, and I distinctly remember being a happy boy when I could finally use BBSes in all their 80 column glory years ago.:)
Remember their recent praise of NS6 as leading the way for web standards (the article for which has suspcisiously disappeared from their web page)?
I got into what could comically be referred to as a "conversation" with one of their consultants, trying to find out why NS6 is so laudable when:
IE 5.5 definitely, and IE 5.0 quite likely, were first to have the level of compliance with really basic stuff that NS6 has.
And what's more, IE4 was significantly more compliant than NS4, so there's no legacy to try to maintain here, and...
...strangely enough, NS6 fails on some really basic style sheet properties, and support for a handful of things in the HTML 4.01 specs STILL isn't there (particularly the colgroup and col elements for tables), meanwhile IE5 handles them fine.
I prepared an example of #3 above to prove my point, and I asked him what, then, is the basis for the praise for NS6. His response was to criticize my example for not beginning with a doctype declaration (gads!), to be utterly wrong about certain details about the colgroup element which are very explicitly spelled out in the HTML 4.01 specs, and then to justify his irrelevant compliants about my example with a little double talk ("well, I pointed out that out because you can't complain if you can't even create an entirely legal HTML page").
Despite all that, I managed to get out of him that the whole reason for praising NS6 is that the open-source nature of the Mozilla project is likely to ensure that bugs with any standards support will get ironed out relatively quickly. I agree with everything in the last sentence from
"open-source" to the end, but I pointed out that it's erroneous to lump NS6 and Mozilla together as the same thing.
While you and I may download the latest Mozilla nightly build to fix some obscure bug with e.g. style sheet properties not being inherited from table rows to table cells, John Q. User is not likely to download another huge version of Netscape 6.x anytime soon. So thanks to to NS6, people like me have *another* browser whose bugs I have to work around when designing pages, and this isn't anything that's particularly revolutionary.
In short, I'm not entirely convinced that WaSP is anything more than a handful of geeks that issue press releases every now and then to try to make a headline on Slashdot.
Nintendo realized the error of their "no violence" ways after the console release of Mortal Kombat I. Nintendo sanatized the blood and certain fatalities (e.g., changing Sub-Zero's decapitation w/ spine dangling from head fatality to simply freezing the baddie and punching him so that he shatters).
The Super Nintendo version had far superior graphics and sound, but the Genesis version far outsold it.
Nintendo pretty much decided to give up on being their customers' censor after that...
You're not going to own your games anymore. You'll be leasing them. Have we got desensitized to this tactic already thanks to Microsoft, et al?
Sega released a machine that used proprietary media, assuming they would be free from piracy, and crackers found a way to put them on standard media and distribute them anyway.
Sega tried censoring them. Sega [alledgedly] tried bribing them. But with the well now thoroughly poisoned, the only way to recover is to bail out and put efforts into a successor that'll render efforts to pirate Dreamcast games pointless.
And we're all going to suffer when those internal drives take a shit.
Slashdot Mirror
...happened in Memphis. Local news, including video (in which you can read the psychotic, rambling letters if you pause at the right point) is here.
In other words, when they say in plain English that "all FightCloud CDs are 100% free!", it is not at all true. QED.
It's okay when the little guy tells us a bald-faced lie right to our face, but not okay when the RIAA does, right?
Nope. Completely illiterate over here.
It costs $1.03 to $1.26 (depending on variance of weight between plastic jewel case and cardboard fold case, and sometimes the weight of book inserts) to send a CD via first class mail.

Where does the other $3.34 go?

That's 1.875 mph.
Average human walking pace is 3 mph, is it not?
