There are a number of artists that work to produce good, quality music videos that serve to actually augment the song, not just shill. DEVO, The Residents, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, They Might Be Giants, and (more recently) POLYSICS are just a small number of bands that created music videos that feature more than the artist lip-syncing and some vaguely connected visuals. Do a search on YouTube and you'll find that a good music video can really make a song even stronger.
Of course, for every artist that creates good music videos, there's another hundred that produce crap.
I got an 80 GB hard drive that I planned to put into my file server. Rather than replace the existing 8 GB drive (shh), I added it as a slave. However, I had to unplug the IDE cable from the master first. In doing so, I somehow wrenched a pin from the socket, and off the drive's logic board. I freaked out. All my files were on a drive, which I now assumed was inaccessable.
I took a closer look at the pin, and discovered that it was still attached to its lead. I pushed the lead onto its location on the logic board, and slapped some Scotch Tape on it, to hold it in place. The IDE connecter slipped on perfectly, and the machine booted.
I planned to move everything from the 8 gig drive over to the new 80 gig and set that as the master, and just dispose of the broken drive. I haven't gotten around to it. Since I last shut it down (accidentally), the machine has been up for 70 days straight.
And when logging in to chec the uptime, I recieved the following message from the fortune file:
If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it.
It took my a while to figure out the difference between HTML and XHTML. It was a struggle to remeber to add that closing slash in single tags. It was a bitch to mentally go from <> to <span class="bold">. Yet, I managed to pull it off.
(Of course, if you want to keep your formatting tags, you can always use XHTML 1.0 Transitional.)
Sit down with a good XHTML tutorial and work at it. You're also going to need to learn CSS too. Run your code through the W3C's validator and fix any errors. After a while, it'll be second nature.
Actually, the music chain "The Wall" used to advertise a lifetime guarantee on their CDs. If one broke, scratched beyond playablity, or other such damages, you could take it back to the store and they would replace it free.
The Wall is now FYE Music, and they no longer *advertise* the lifetime guarantee. It still exists, though. I've been meaning to replace my Dark Side of the Moon CD, because of a dime sized abrasion on the shiny side. I'm also considering replacing my Talking Heads "Sand In The Vaseline"d iscs, but it might be better just to get the box set instead.

Well, the new dockable interface makes the floating windows a bit saner, and easier to deal with. I prefer Photoshop's MDI, but since I'm not about to reboot to do some graphics for my website, I'll deal with the simpler new Gimp UI. It's lightyears better (looking, and operating) than Gimp 1.2
I'm right handed, but I see the point. I wear my watch on my right hand, anyway, as it's more comfortable there. I'd have a great deal of diffculty with this.
Of course, I'd have a great deal of diffuculty with a LEFT HANDED watch as well, because I can't write with my left hand.
Can I interest you in a RadioShack Service Plan? It will protect your subway car for up to three years! No? Well, I can save you $400 dollars on your purchase, if you're so inclined. All we ask is that you sign up for three years of MSN Internet...
No? Well, would you be interested in a cell pho... yes, I see you have one. How do you like the service. Just fine, huh? Well, we've got some great deals on cellular phones and...
Modular is a good idea, but you run the risk of overwhelming the user with too many possibilities, or having to include the modules in an awkward way - which has been a problem with the repacement windows shell LiteStep, and it's text based configuation.
These sorts of things are fine for advanced users, but your average Joe will balk when attempting to edit even the most simple of text configuration files.
My Palm IIIe hasn't had a single issue from years of bouncing and banging inside my jacket and pants pocket with only the hard cover that comes standard to protect it. I had some problems with third party software, but everything works just fine hardware wise, except for the power button being a little unresponsive after sitting for a while. It's even taken several nasty falls - some onto pure concrete.
Palm's stuff seems to be pretty damn sturdy to me. Don't know about the newer models though.
Douglas Adams was almost a personal hero to me. For a while, I even carried around my own towel (you never know when it will come in handy) to school. I looked forward to the movie with great anticipation, and was downloading the old radio episodes off of Napster for future compilation on CD (assuming I ever got a burner).
Now I know what the true meaning of God's final message was.
First, some background... I went to a small local catholic school from "Pre-First" (an intermediate for kids too old for kindergarden but too young for first grade) to 5th grade and my life there was miserable as anything else.
I was cast out as having the "Richard Disease" which mean that everyone had to avoid me. No friends for poor Richard. Eventually they outgrew that and began to cause more personal pain. Mocking be for not being athletic and being smart.
My summers were not much better. Usually they were worse. I was physically abused by my peers and there was nothing that they day camp staff could do. Kathy, the program director was on my side, but what could she do? Nothing worked. She was better than my school teachers who ignored the problem or punished me for retaliating.
My summer problems were alieved when I finally punched the lead jerk-off in the face after 5 years of torment. However I had to literally run away from the problems at school. I transferred out and into a Public Magnet School (J.R. Masterman).
Well, now I'm in High School and I still carry those horrid, bitter scars. I want to hurt those who hurt me - not by killing them... just punching the jerks in the face... a little physical pain to make them know how I felt being a pariah.
I'm lucky I didn't snap or have easy access to weapons. Also Doom helped as I could visualize the hellspawn as my peers... virtual killing is much safer than the real thing. I'm glad it's all over, but I will never recover.

Using cheat codes in the commercial version of Rise Of The Triad can take you to a level called "This Causes An Error"
The level contains a moving wall which exits the bounds of the level - and crashes the game.
However, before you're dumped to DOS - a drawing of a wall leaving a level (and smiling) with the crudely written caption "I'm Free!" appears!
Neat!
