Look no further... Come to New Jersey where the hair is big, and the hair is blonde... bleached. We've got enough peroxide you can strain from all the Guma's around here (watch any episode of Sopranos and you can see proof). Heh.
Nobody talks about MP3/CD players. My new iRiver SlimX 400 has about 11 and a half hours at 128kbps, with full track titles, 23 hour battery life, and even an FM tuner. Plus if you get bored, you can play snake (nibbles, etc.) on the smart remote it comes with. It's thinner than a AA battery on the side, and looks like 5 CDs stacked on top of one another. Not to mention I don't have to worry about taking an hour of my favorite music, I just burn 700mb at a time and take what I want, where I want. Plus iRiver actually puts a lot of support behind their products, and if you check out the firmware site, they update around every couple months, adding new features, and even increasing batterylife by use of intelligent buffering techniques. Oh... did I mention there's 6 minutes of anti-shock? Hah... GBA audio lame... Overpriced mp3 harddrive players lame... Expensive smart media/flash mp3 players lame...
God I hope so, it gave me time to find all the funny links that I thought the rest of the.'ers would appreciate. It's a shame when good comments don't get a viewing because in the first 30 minutes, 300 comments of goatse.cx have been posted and modded down, and and people are reading the same 25 >2 posts.

PHP protect all your pages so if a counter increments by a certain count within a certain amount of time (say 30 mins or an hour) for the next 2 hours, it will remove all of the inline images, run them through an ascii-art converter, and replace it, so you're transferring at most a couple kilobytes of text which is gzip compressable through most browsers now and checks every 2 hours until the slashdot (or fark, or k5, or memebutt) effect subsides... Any techheads wanna get crackin'?
Atari was on the right track with their Jaguar, and I still think these new-fandangled 64-bits don't hold an ounce of water against my Nintendo (Ultra) 64!
At other tradeshows you get boothbabes, at Linuxworld, you get pics of a Dance Dance Revolution gamepad and a couple shots of guys getting a massage... piss poor!
I like to think of P2P as the digital Penny Tray. There's always something there if you need it, and if you have something to offer, it'd be nice if you put something back; doesn't mean you have to though.
If you're not getting the downloads or results to searchers you used to, it might be because you're "leeching". This little utility (scanned with latest version of AVP, F-Prot, and Orion) maxes out your participation level, allowing you to leech to your heart's content.
Starter cartridges still last you economic-wise through. In that time your printer resolution and page-per-minute will have jumped up. It's quite sad actually, it's like they almost WANT you to buy a new printer and ditch the cartridges which is against their model. Why are these cartridges so expensive? Because they got tired of people refilling them up with their own ink, and installed little microchips to "monitor ink levels" (yeah right... they're to lock out the cartridge once it's empty once, or they've "moved the print head to the cartridge to ensure a clean print every cartridge change" (I thought that's what the cleaning cycle was for). The printer industry is sneaky, and moreso than that, they're shooting themselves in the foot.
This was a coincidental article to read when I was browsing the morning circulars today looking for printer cartridge replacements. Why bother with $35+ a piece cartridges (one for black and one for color) when I can just get a NEW printer for $60, trashing the old printer and adding about a cubic foot of trash, and god knows how much in invested energy/resources. At least they're starting to recycle cartridges now, but if they're going to remain this expensive, why bother? In the interest of Gaia, I think I'll bite the bullet and buy the cartridges... Damned social conscience...
This article is the main reason why we're still using a Windows operating system which is EXPECTED to crash at least once daily (once every couple of days if you're running 2k). Pandering to the masses isn't innovation, and it's not in the best interests to build up the peripheral aspects of a product rather than improve on the product itself. A crappy toaster with 24-7 on-site support (people who toast your bread for you) is still not as good as a toaster which toasts bread when you push the button...
Try Cloudmark's SpamNet. It's amazing. It's P2P based with almost 270,000 people right now, and it blocks about 60%-95% of my incoming spam (depending on whether or not it's made its rounds through the P2P network yet). I love it and they offer a quick and dirty plugin for Outlook 2000 and Outlook XP. Enjoy!

how many next-gen cards have come out since bit-boys said that they've reached silicon stages are are persuing a fab plant? hahahaha... Oy!

that was like my long lost dream to make a z-modem like bbs compression algorithm which has a word dictionary of almost infinite size so you'd just have to send 1 or two bytes per line of data... heh. how many people remember z-modem? also my moniker, Super Kermit...

this reminds me of the time when at the launch of the original diablo ii (not the expansion pack that just came out), hundreds of people's characters where hacked into by hacking groups who sought to take over peoples hardcore accounts who were leading the rank ladders and systematically killing them off for show. they'd make webpages showing the deaths and then pass around the urls. remember, hardcore characters die once, and that's it... once you're dead you can't play with that character anymore. it caused such a p.r. snafu that blizzard ended up rolling many people's accounts back to a backup of a few weeks prior once they fixed their security holes.

I thought that some of these pictures were uh... blurry and took some level of interpretation to see but most of these ok looking. But then again, take a look at how many shapes, forms, animals, etc. we've seen and made from the billions of stars in our skies (constellations)! I guess if you take enough pictures of stuff, you'll start to see things in 'em. Especially random hilly terrain pics. Good idea: one of you techheads should program a random terrain generator linked to a webpage and have a voting system to see if a person sees anything in that picture. Would make a great website... name it amisecretmartianface.com or something *snicker*.

Yes I intentionally chose NOT to link the site. If you're too lazy to copy/paste, I hope it won't ./ the site...
