I'd second parent post's statement that the time you mentioned is too early for them to be on E, left alone the possibility that their raves regularly get busted by the police around 1am...
E
and raves in general? Historically, yes, sure, but you don't really need chemicals when a fat bassline moves you. You'll need that stuff, though, if you want to dance to boring stupid music like trance or goa all night long, but who on earth would volunteer for something like that?
.... getting a life outside of coding obviously helps. A weekly clubnight/rave is my preferred remedy, I cannot recommend drum'n'bass or reggae enough, the bass will set your spine right again. Bass is maternal, so they say...
Strange thing, but am I the only person to care more about my usenet posts being sufficiently anonymous than about giving away my rights of ownership? Like, oops, I just noticed I posted a brilliant idea, give me back my copyright? You should have thought about that before hitting submit I'd say.
Make a celebrity game show of it, what else but Who Wants To Be A Millionaire In Space could it possibly be? That said, accepting votes for a one-way ticket for Russell Crowe... Enlist below.
Ok, here's some more info, for those who are interested. Mp3.com just sent out a short FAQ today, staying somehow vague in some matters, but the main point is, they'll (for the time being) continue service as it was:
Q. Will MP3.com artists remain independent?
A. Yes. The terms and conditions of the various artist
agreements will not automatically change as a result
of this transaction. MP3.com will continue to
function as an independent distributor of music
content for all independent artists and record labels. Q. Will my music belong to Vivendi Universal?
A. No. As stated above, the terms and conditions of
the various artist agreements will not automatically
change as a result of this transaction. Q. Will MP3.com continue to operate as it does today?
A. MP3.com will maintain its role as an independent
distributor of music on the Internet. MP3.com will
continue with current pursuits, as well as work with
new partners to innovate subscription systems and
music offerings that reach a global audience across
many devices. Q. How will this announcement affect me? What will change?
A. MP3.com will continue with its current offerings,
including marketing, promotion and a full roster of
online services for all artists. Q. Will Payback for Playback continue?
A. All current artist services will remain in effect.
The above post is merely sarcastic, not off-topic, and anyway is worth a reply: I'm an mp3.com artist myself, and no, it hasn't been that nice at all, at least not for the last year or so. They have gotten worse and worse in terms of service (delays before new songs get approved, technical support is an euphemism for what they have to offer...), and starting from last month they require you to pay a monthly fee of 20$ in order to be able to collect any of your 'payback for playback' royalties! Which doesn't really pay in my case, so I was about to leave them for good anyway.
Hm, I can't watch Iron Chef where I live (yet?), but I do sporadically have a fun-packed half hour watching Takeshi's Castle (is this being broadcast in the US? If not, that's a pity, go complain and start writing letters immediately), and I just tried to imagine what that show would look like as a US (or European for that matter, no anti-US rants from me! Ermh, at least no mindless ones...) remake: guess what, what I came up with looked like utter crap, because there's stuff that's funny in one given cultural context, but if it draws heavily from that culture you can't easily transplant it elsewhere, you will only get tedious results IMMHO. Has been proven often enough, just take the long list of US remakes of french films as an example.
Anyway, if they made the Holo-Doc host either of the shows, I'd risk an eye.
I guess they are as shocked as most of us are, and are utterly speechless resp. still trying to find words. But a busy day for the site, you're right, it appears slashdotted already.
You not getting something doesn't qualify it as a contradiction in terms, I'd say, but you're right about the cuisine of course, larks' tongues in aspic and all, blerghh, although that would make a fine song title, no wait...
Why mod this down as OT, moderator, show some respect yourself! This is a sad loss, not because of further books that remain unwritten now (and I think he buried the trilogy with part five already, can anyone confirm?), but because he was a great entertainer, plus he well deserved to enjoy the global appreciation of his work a little longer...
But somehow dying of a heart attack seems an appropriate finale to me, just don't ask me why.
If only the world were as simple as you think! You obviously never heard of british upper class manners or of german immigration policies. Or affirmative action, or...
This article carries the aforementioned McDonald's quote:
The good news is that just such a detection system, after a slow start, is rapidly gearing up. Four small groups of dedicated astronomers in Arizona and California, totaling fewer than the number of employees at an average fast-food restaurant and using mostly off-the-shelf equipment for their telescopes, have been mapping the heavens and steadily adding to the number of known near-Earth objects.
Right, only the air pressure differences might blow your ears if you don't swallow often enough. (Ermh, no homophobic comments, please!) I'm not quite sure about the technical aspects of that, could someone help us out? Would they have to build the elevators or the whole building as a kind of pressure chamber to avoid those effects?

CoS are nazis not jews. Are you afraid of anything else where we might help you?
Hi, Ms. Congeniality! No, didn't see your post before I submitted mine... ;o) That's already two votes, and counting...

So, obviously, no tears from me.

"Arschlock!"? Now, that's funny, because you involuntarily posted the exact opposite of the goatse.cx link by giving an Arschloch that twist...
Finally - a remedy!
but people are expecting that Coca-Cola will just up and grab both coke.biz and coke.info.
And until now I'd thought that the coke.biz belonged to the Columbians and Florida alone...
... or came from?

Don't remember the gospel, I definitely have to re-read the trilogy, dang!
LOL, just realized, and yes, glad to have wasted it for that.

Because it's kramer actually.
Haha, imagine him speaking like Kiefer Sutherland in 'Dark City', unbelievable! Must be the worst actor ever.

Like, Perl, Python, C++, Java, or your own favourite?
LOL. That mostly sums it up.
Hehe, let's just collect to buy you a memory card then, or hire someone to take care of your decubitus instead...
