I had an 1100cc Kawasaki motorcycle (ZZ-R1100) which would eaily return about 50mpg in daily use or long motorway cruising. Not bad for 174mph worth of bike.
Mind you, if you thrashed it around, that would drop a lot
It was September 1993, the September that never ended.
Traditionally, each september would see USENET fill up with new students who'd acts like twits for a while until they got up to speed with the conventions of netiquette. When AOL started, there was a continuous influx of twits.
defendant: "well, your honour, we had a long object and some small round objects and we were trying to put one of the objects into a cushioned orifice."
Judge: "Sounds like you were just playing snooker then, case dismissed!"
From what I can gather, a lot of spammers see themselves as Great American Capitalists excercising their right to Make Money by any means possible and being persecuted by the unwashed hordes of leftist, pinko, communist sysadmins who are set against 'Frea Speach' and the American Way.

Why are you sending copies of spam to your own postmaster? What is that going to achieve.
You should do a traceroute to the IP where the spam came from and complain to the providers at the end of that list. Complaining to your own ISP seems pretty pointless.

What, you find "Hot Teenage Sluts!" or "Make Money Fast!!!" useful? You buy toner online? You have a green card from Canter and Siegel? You go for all those offers in Chinese from Taiwan and insecure relays in Japan?
Just what, precisely, have you found useful from spam?
dave "HIBT?"
ps. I know you're probably a troll, but it's not often I get to use "Hot Teenage Sluts" in an email.
When was the last time you lost an email? I've had an email address of one form or another for fourteen years and I think it's happened a small handful of times, if that.
Hong Kong's old airport used to be more or less in the middle of town. Very impressive place to fly into and out out. The new one is further out, but still only 25 minutes by train and you can check your baggage in at the train stations, so it's pretty convenient.
Now look here Scooter, everyone knows that Stonehenge was created when Xena destroyed the Temple of Dahak with her Chakram. Well established historical fact that.
The article also states that the images were touched up to adjust for colour creep with age. I would imagine that someone photoshopped these into the their current vividity. We'll never know how close to the originals they were, although the flesh tones and whites are probably spot on. The picture of the Bukhara Emir looks like the blue has been enhanced a little (as can be seen on the making.html page).
I saw a superb series of photographs once: stark black and white images of desitute men and women, weatherbeaten faces ground down by despair, broken people ground down by life. I though it was from Depression-Era US. It turned out to be Northern England in the Mid 1980's.
The photogrpaher's choice of medium can have a tremendously powerful effect.
The length of the exposure is the reason nobody smiles in early Daguerreotypes and photographs. It was easy to held a stern expression than a smile, apparently.
You should do a traceroute to the hotmail-type operation and complain to their upstream provider. Complain that the operation is a spam haven and does not enfore its AUP. With any luck, the operator will get TOS'd.

My wife's major reaction to Tomb Raider was: "With breasts that big, why don't they bounce around more?"

I'd sure love to see your pictures, as I live in Hong Kong and have never seen an 'e-billboard' with a BSOD.

I used to work with a guy who'd sniff bicycle seats for jollies. I guess he went to work for NASA...

My ZZ-R 1100 (ZX-11 in the USA) used to be able to hit 110mph in third gear from 20mph in about 150 metres. Took a few seconds, IIRC.
The problem with acceleration beyond 100 on a bike is aerodynamics and the sheer bloody NOISE of the airflow over your lid.

They have a patent on the 'Special Sauce' used in the Big Mac, don't they?
dave
Hmmm, never heard of anyone doing that before. Mind you, I'm my own postmaster, so I guess I get the heads up anyway.

so, the Oz government is really saying "I find your choice of faith... disturbing."?

Oh I don;t know about the punch cards - I still have to use some Engineering programs which require input in 80-column text files...

Terry Pratchett frequently hides references to other things in his novels.
