IRC is great for MP3z. Just go to #MP3z on Dalnet, install SPR Jukebox, and you are ready to go. And almost everyone who servers probably has better the 40 GB of tunes. You can usually find it. Although IRC is a little overwhelming the first time you use it, especially if you aren't familiar with a CLI.
In my opinion Suse has always been one of the best distros out there. What kind of market share does Redhat hold anyway. I haven't seen any solid figures on the number of enterprises that use one distro as opposed to another. I know when I was the only linux geek in my shop, we all ran Suse. But another (more hardcore) friend of mine, decided that all the people in his office would run Debian. Who makes that call one way or another? Plus being the only linux capable person in the office, is great job security.
I used to work for a spaceweather organization in Colorado that monitored solar events as their primary mission. We were the code pounders that organized all of there satellite data into pretty little charts and maps. You would be suprised at the number of flares that happen, most are really harmless. We always we on alert when the initail stages of the International Space Station where going up, or any space-walk done by the shuttle crew.
ATI has a unique vision of the future. What they see is one mobile motherboard design being used in everything from the value segment to the high-end segment. I just can't wait for the days when I will be able to go order a new video card for my laptop. I was very interested to ready that you can already upgrade the video cards on some Dell laptops from the GeForce2Go to the Geforce 4 card, maybe those days aren't far off for most new laptops.
Companies like Sony are spending all their time trying to make music "safe from piracy" that their hasn't been any useful upgrades to the CDR technology, other then 40X CD-Burners where is the next step? Blue-Laser? High-density CDR's?
I'm sure that being in a mountain town near Dillon and Frisco would take the toll on satellite connections. Especially with the weather systems that move through there, lots of heavy cloud cover to impede throughput.
Summit County, is somewhat of a geographical oddity, sitting off of I-70 just west of the Eisenhower tunnel, the closest large tech city would be Denver and that is quite a ways away, I'm positive that the phone lines really aren't that great in that area
I just can't wait until spammers can figure out how to put ads in their ads, we will get emails with those damn flash appelets advertising for KY or something.
I have gotten into the habit of changing email addresses every few months cause I just get so much spam. You can't unsubscribe from any of it, its just easier to get a different email address, and tell the people I want to converse with my new addresses.
Not to sound like a troll, but Cowboy Bebop is being posted in Alt.binaries.anime.vcd on USENET. Its being posted in SVCD format, but please support the creators by purchasing the DVD. This is a good opportunity to preview it before your purchase, and you know you will.
Since Worldcom is going under now is the time to buy some backbone access, then hold the worlds largest multiplayer game tournament. Can't wait for a public aution, I could use a couple of server cabinets.
After years of collecting CD's many in my collection are so scratched that no matter what audio ripper I use, I can't get a decent.wav to encode from (poor poor Portishead), to bad there wasn't an initiative to enable people that own these CD's to be able to download the content of those albums free of charge through software verification. But then of course your buddy would ask you to borrow your CD so he could do the same. But I'm sure something could be done.
Having worked in a shop that was primarily Alpha hardware, I have had a lot of experience with this. The entire office was getting upgraded to PC's because everyone thought that they were slow, running Alpha NT on a mix of XL300s and 500as (with the 21164 processor). They were going to ship all of the Alphas to DRMO (military salvage yard). I volunteered to install Suse of 12 of the machines and use them as terminals to our Alpha server (quad 21164).
Using alplalinux.org as a huge reference and much heartache I mangaged to get all of them installed with Suse. Much to the surpirse of the DEC/Compaq rep that worked in our office that said that it couldn't be done....... HA

I have never even seen the Narrator until now, that is perhaps the funniest thing I have ever seen. Microsoft just whipped something together to say that they are a friend to the visually impaired. Do people acutally use this?
It sure would be nice to be able to afford to go to school again, I'm going on 6 months without a job, strong coder, with a clearance. You would think there would be a lot of gov't jobs wanting a clearanced coder, but think again.

This isn't correct, I installed the app, registered and everything, into my second full album now, full length songs.

Could this be due to the discussion for subscription based liscensing?
You obviously don't spend much time on the binary Usenet groups, I'm running out of space (all 270 GB of it)

Its nice to see Anan being fair to ATI. Even with the appearance of the 9700 Anan said that the new Geforce (vapor)line would blow it away.

Have these been approved my the Compact Disc forum? Has fair use gone out the window?
This is an excellent option for the tele-commuters who don't want to live in Denver, but want to be out in the splendor of Colorado beauty.

For those anime lovers, Cowboy Bebop - The Movie is being posted over in alt.binaries.anime.vcd. If you haven't seen it check it out.

I wonder where I can purchase the "the port Lee pre- k tar.". Gotta love the fish.
Looks like its back to newsgroups.
I remember making MRE bombs out of the heater packs, and placing them outside peoples tents. Those were great times.
