    RTFA. He *IS* getting "composer" royalties, which is what ASCAP deals with.

    What he's not getting is royalties from a LP he cut back in the '60s, which Sony recently re-released on CD.

    Of course not! The only people who buy CD-R disks are Evil Terrorist UnAmerican Content Pirates(tm)!

    Nope. The oscillating of some neutrinos will be considered "unusual behavior" by the other neutrinos, who will alert the pilots, and they will abort the entire trip.

    It was kind of nice to see them retired as heros and, hopefully, beyond the reach of further character butchery.

    Interesting. I wonder if this ep was an involuted apology by CC, and his attempt to do right by the Gunmen?

  8. Re:There have been other colors before....... on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 2

    There was also a number of WHITE cases sold by the various clone manufacturers during the mid 1990's

    Gateway 2000. Their cases were white, not beige.

  9. Re:This is new, how? on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 2

    Packard Bell PCs were POSes, but I seem to recall them having a fairly innovative case design... it was kind of trapezoidal, designed to fit in a corner. Connectors were on the side. Anyone else recall that?

    Another company that used to make tanks and went to hell was Austin. We had an Austin 433E that was a fscking tank. Steel case. Steel rails. The thing weighed a ton. The machine (running SCO ODT2) ran for 7 years straight without problems (we finally retired it in '99). I wish I could have gone and stolen that case, but they weren't surplussing stuff at the time. Of course, then Austin went and got bought out by IPC, and started selling crap.

    I've been using NPWrap for years. It's a NS4 plugin that lets you use ActiveX. My guess is that it would work in Mozilla.

    Well, come on. They're only complying with the RPFJ. MS has made it clear that they don't consider using the (L)GPL to be a "viable business model", so they don't have to give their APIs to people who use them!
