I'm working on a school project and need as much spam as possible so you can safely ignore this message. Feel free to submit this address to as many places you think will bring me spam also. =)
I support the bands I like by going to shows and buying clothes and stuff from them.
I don't buy cds much at all. More often than not when I do actually end up deciding to trek out to a store to buy a piece of plastic they either don't (and won't) have what I want or are sold out. I don't burn cds either. Only place I listen to music is at my computer so mp3s are natural, first thing I do with a new cd is rip it.
What we really need is a sort of system I was discussing with a friend where there are a few central databases with all songs in very high quality format. Ogg Vorbis, very high bitrate mp3, whatever. All cd stores have a satellite connection (fast dl crappy uploadwhich you don't use anyway) to the closest database mirror and burn the music themselves. No more "we don't have that sorry" and no more "we're all out we're getting more next week". You could just walk in and ask for the lastest cd by whoever or come in with a list of every song you want. Billing should be easy because all the info would come from the database with the song.
Anyway that was just my rant on a utopian music system. Will probably ever happen. =(
The Undead resemble the protoss because the building are "warped" in, the builder can do something else in the meantime. But it also has to be on blight, like zerg.
How 'bout we look at MY stats right now. I live out in the middle of nowhere and have no choice but 56k. On average I download something ~200-300 megs a DAY. 250 * 30 = 7500 (I'm skipping that 1024 stuff k?) 7.5 gigs a month? My 56k is pretty much always on and always downloading. If I had cable or DSL I'd be paying exorbitant prices for the 56k service I use!
On a side note I had a 3 month internship which I had to move for and I had DSL during that time and downloaded ~150 gigs of stuff easy. Wasn't this what broadband was supposed to be FOR???
Here in Quebec there was a large scale boycott by independant theatre owners because of the conditions Lucas & Fox were imposing. While they were playing episode 2 it had to be in the biggest room and had to play for a minimum of 7 weeks. Small theatres can't afford to have their big room monopolised. And if that wasn't enough they were demanding 70% of the profits instead of the normal 60. I haven't seen Star Wars yet but I've seen Spider-Man. Not by choice, simply by convenience. If I wanted to see Star Wars I'd have to drive to Montreal and I don't have the time.
First of all this isn't an April Fool's joke because it's already been posted a few weeks back.
Secondly, right now I run kazaalite because I suspected this distributed workload has already been started on kazaa. If I leave my computer doing absolutely nothing except download a few rare files it slows down enormously. Now I have an athlon 1,2 ghz w/ 128 mb of ram so this isn't supposed to slow down out of the blue. And on top of it navigation is horrible if kazaa is running. A dsl connection loads pages slightly faster than a 56k.
In short if you like using kazaa (as I do) but can no longer stand it's "features" then go get kazaalite.
If bnetd did not exist, then the hacked copies of WC3b would not be playable - bottom line
--online that is. And if RW-CD burners didn't exist, then WC3b couldn't be burned to them
You don't need a CD burner to play WC3 beta.. There are plenty of programs that can emulate a cd drive from a.iso file such as daemon tools ( http://www.daemon-tools.com )
My personal solution to this, don't log off! My box has been up 3.5 weeks so far (Not too bad with win98 =P) and I've been pimping out files on Kazaa the whole time. As long as you don't have to reboot you're perfectly fine!
You don't seriously want everything in the OSS community to be made by Microsoft's standards do you??
All of those products, many of which are very successful, with a fairly small number of employees.
They're successful because they're pushed on by a monopoly. There is no other way that programs so bug ridden and void of security are going to be successful.
How could this possibly have been rated informative?

I want to know who they voted for.
I'll bet it wasn't Nader.

I'm going to have to stick with The Ataris on this one:
Every now and then
I turn it on again
But it's plain to see
That the radio still sucks
The law is supposed to be clear in the fact that ignorance is not an acceptable defense.
What happens in real life on the other hand isn't necessarily the same.

Yeah like a slashdot opinion, even less a news story is anything important =P

On CowboyNeals box, which I've r00t3d 2531 / 2387%
Damn 2387% of Slashdotters have rooted CowboyNeals' box. Talk about security issues.

Gel? I'd go for something more consistent.. Maybe something along the lines of cement =P
