hehe - I stumbled across this one while counting the number of how many bytes make a bit? posts - an interesting, metaphorical, and damn funny post! (imho)(not caps because i'm so humble, or at least my opinion is...)
The concept is: A speaker's voice in decibels is only a measure of amplitude - the same thing the cops in Traverse City, MI used to use a meter to tell us to "tone it down" (another misnomer) as we (the band) played at various bars making a living.
What this person is really trying to convey is that a certain "frequency pattern" or waveform that is "attractive" has been put forth from Ms. Reynolds' (trained) vocal organs. (not "chords" - those are combinations of two or more notes in harmony)
The term "damascus" has two entirely different meanings depending on whether you are talking about steel used for blades or a barrel fabrication method. Damascus steel is alternating layers of soft and tough low carbon steel with high carbon steel that is hard and brittle. By alternating the low and high carbon steel in layers, a blade will hold an edge like high carbon and resist breakage like low carbon. Damascus barrels are spiral wound out of a single steel. BTW, damascus barrel guns should NEVER be fired with smokeless powder.
(stolen from one of the first references I found: at Muzzleloadermag.com
I remember hearing about these guns and never knew the distinction from the blade. Until now...
We had an Ottoman - upholstered with a wool corduroy - that I used to lay on and watch the movie Ben Hur, as well as series like Bonanza, The Wonderful World of Disney, Watch Mr. Wizard (educational, with Don Herbert) and my father's own TV Show (Michigan Outdoors) - I could go on and on, but many readers would not understand.
My kudos go out to the US of A and the innovations of the 40s, 50s and 60s that paved the way to most if not all of the technical prowess that we enjoy today. Not to discount other countries and their achievements, but WE RULE. BTW - My son is an Officer on a Destroyer in the U.S Navy. If you don't like what I'm saying, he'll come and.....(they have lotsa high-tech toys)
Sorry for the flamebait - coudn't help myself.
The Underlying Problem ...

I had an attack about 30 seconds after I turned IIS back on (upon reading some of the above and getting curious).
Also, for at least a week and ½, I've been getting hit with ARP-RARP packets at the rate of 10 or more per second from what I believe to be a router in Muskegon, with targets of all the still-infected machines.
It's obvious that AT&T has not kept up its own side of the TOS - and curious that when I signed up for cable modem last year, they wouldn't support Win2k (cough, cough - I have to run it - I'm a MCSE with too many clients running it to get rusty), and the reason for No Servers was to avoid some idiot issuing DHCP to the other customers.
BTW, I'm used to getting diddle from large corporations in the way of customer service - I just hope I can get them to fix my lawn before the snow flies. Some brain-dead cable rat drove his boom truck over my lawn to check a pole, and the lawn is about a foot above water level. I complained a montha and a half ago and still no response!
(If anyone on/. would care to identify the "strain" of the worm that just tried me, I'd be happy to squirt the log text in the thread - with my IP removed to protect the innocent...)
Thank *God* there is someone else out there who is a fan of that wonderful movie! I was especially won over when I saw the Atari 130 XE computer at John Lithgow's toes as he took off in the spiny oyster...
I've got plenty of green and amber screens (MGA) as well as some VIC-20 and C-64 boxes. My first love was (of course) Atari 8-bit machines, which I've religiously kept by virtue of my pack-rat habits. More interestingly, who wants an IBM Model 4 (2 8" floppies, 16k RAM, complete with daisy wheel printer...?) Shipping would be horrendous - damn stuff came close to giving me a hernia when I carried it off to the basement. I could go on and on, but that seems to happen too often on/.
Nonetheless, let me add some printer sharing stuff by Falcon - for Apple ][ complete with SuperSerial cards...dropped off by a good-natured friend who had no idea that I would even care...(I do, but why am I keeping it???)

I agree with the text-based ideas posted here. I have clients with video-rental software that do very well without a GUI, and are quite happy...

Still down - WTF?

I thought @home was not so wrong for blocking incoming packets to port 80, but guess what?
