"Theoretically, at up to +6m the human eye would see about 2,500 stars in the clear sky but, in practice, the atmospheric extinction and dust reduce the number to 1500 to 2000"
Maybe it's not as funny as it used to be, but, to quote H.S., "ah, whaddya-gonna-do?". I mean, if they take it off the air they'll just replace it with worlds blankiest blank anyway.
(I'm sure this will never be read by anyone now that the story is 2 days old, but I'll post anyway.)
I run slack 9.0 and want these ISO's, so leaned everything I know about BitTorrent tonight. I learned that it is available in 9.1 in/extra. I went to a site that had the 9.1 dist (but not the ISO's). I downloaded Pat's bittorrent.tar.gz. I ran installpkg. I tried to use btdownloadcurses.py as Pat said. It didn't work because the bt lib files were installed to/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BitTorrent/*. I copied these files to/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/BitTorrent/* since Slack 9.0 has python 2.2. Ran btdownloadcurses and everything works like a charm.
This reminds me of something I just read on The Onion recently. There is a What Do You Think poll about the WWII memorial. The answers are all funny, but I laughed out loud at the response of the 2nd guy on the left.

He's history's greatest monster!
I'm personally waiting for OS X Def Leppard. Pour some GUI sugar on me!

and just was amazed at HOW MANY STARS there actually are visible to the naked eye
I'm amazed at how few stars are visible, even under perfect conditions. Most people will guess "millions".
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_eye :
"Theoretically, at up to +6m the human eye would see about 2,500 stars in the clear sky but, in practice, the atmospheric extinction and dust reduce the number to 1500 to 2000"

As seen on Penn & Teller!
Stop being so afraid. You aren't living in a dangerous country.
Have you ever been to Detroit?
Just mount the projector to your head. Then you can watch while you walk around the house as well.
5.7L 275hp V8, 6 speed
Sticker says:
City 17, Hwy 26
My 155,000 miles say:
City 17, Mixed 23, Hwy 29
As with the original post, that 29mpg is going from gas station to gas station on long trips (>1000 miles).

I'm not sure I want to hang around to find out just exactly how trashy Fox can get.
"You know, FOX turned into a hardcore sex channel so gradually, I didn't even notice."

no references to "El Camino Bignum" here? I'm shocked!!!
Hopefully a helpful minor correction:

So it will work with python2.2.
Hope this helps someone else.

and actually, Salyut was before that!
I had one running that way for the better part of a year.
Mine's been running like that for about 6 months now. Soon, though I'll get around to buttoning everything up...
Jefferson is on the two.
Unless of course you meant you meant George.
+1 funny! I never have mod points at the right times...
Does this game look familiar? Pretty cool! ;-)
Wow, a review from beyond the grave! That ring is powerful!
Why are you always going on about women, Stan?
Sure, I'm flattered, maybe even a little curious...
Sounds like a swap in the making...
It's pronounced "thermometer".
Hmmm.... There is a program for Angband called the Borg that plays it automatically, and wins frequently. Nethack can't be that different...
