I've been having the same issue (FF3 on WinXP SP3). Firefox crashes on me several times a day, especially when using Gmail. It fullout crashes and kills the browser for me.
On my work machine, it was crashing so often I had to downgrade to FF2 because stability is more important than the new features.
I hope Mozilla addresses the issues and provides a fix soon. As much as people love FF3, it's gonna run into walls with adoption if something as commonly used as Gmail crashes.
I believe the NBC shows (at least Heroes) can be watched on Netflix later the same night after the show is done airing. They've been advertising it towards the end of Heroes episodes this season.
What's the address for the ticket vendor? A nice Slashdotting or two should give them enough data to help discover the limitations of their server.
More seriously, sounds like real demand. I know I'd love to see one of these games if I lived near Denver -- even if a it is a few hundred dollars. Teams don't get to the World Series that often unless they're NY.
I've enjoyed reading this site for years since around 1998 or 1999. It helped me become the geek I am today. Somehow I didn't manage to get a CS degree, but it's helped me keep in touch with the tech sector, learn about PHP, Perl, MySQL, etc. Even though I may not have the diploma, I can manage to run a server and host a number of different webistes.
For the most part, I'm an Anonymous Coward and rarely contribute to the discussions, but I appreciate Slashdot nonetheless.
Thanks for the many years and I hope to keep reading for many more.
As sad as it might be, the phone companies never release any information about a phone number, internet connection, or anything else without a search warrant. There are too many lawsuits and too much risk involved for the phone companies to give out information like this, even to law enforcement, without the appropriate legal paperwork to cover themselves.
I should have been clearer with my comment. He only ever ordered one thing online with it. If I remember correctly, it was some sort of LEGO set. In any case, this doesn't make it impossible that someone could've stolen the number off a server. Or else just gotten ahold of the card in hand and written down the info. *shrug*
I friend of mine had his credit card number stolen somehow (he doesn't know where they got it from, he'd only ever bought one thing with it). They used it to spend $600 at Monster.com. We've been trying to figure out where the money went. I mean, honestly, who would spend $600 on their crappy merchandise? Well... apparently fraudsters spending money for more fraud!
I guess we should expect network congestion because of users, downloading everything in their sight to beat this initiative.
I've heard this in every story about increased lawsuits or prosection since Napster died. The congestion increases constantly because people want more music, etc. "free." It's called greed. I used to be the same way, till I realized I was screwing the artists I love out of the few pennies they do get. Until there's a different and more effective way to pay artists for their music, buying their CDs is about the only thing I can do. (Oh, and don't buy them at the mall and complain about prices... CDs are up to $8 cheaper on the internet if you shop around.)
Besides the already mentioned availability at AudioGalaxy it's also available in a number of MP3 channels on various IRC servers (Dalnet, EFnet, etc). If you look, it's rather easy to find.

It sickens me.
