$59 (shipping included) to get it from the UK shipped priority to me in California. $115 at amazon new, $65 or so used. Took only a few days, the same it'd take if I bought it in the US, and probably quicker than the Media Mail that amazon marketplace and half.com usually offer.
Once there was an optional book I wanted to study from that went for about $50-$60 on half.com. Saw a used one on ebay for $15 that looked pretty much new when I got it.
"In command-line environments such as DOS, the pipe symbol can add functionality to a DOS command. The way I most frequently use it is when doing a directory listing (DIR) on a large directory with hundreds of files. Say I type "DIR" at the command prompt like so:
C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR
. . . then the 22,000 files in that directory scroll past so fast I can't see their names. However, if I apply the pipe function at the command prompt like this:
C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR | more
. . . then the display will show me one screen of files at a time, with a "More" at the bottom. To display the next screen of files, I hit any key to continue, until all of the files in the directory have been listed (or I break, by pressing Ctrl-C). This is similar to using the "/p" modifier, such as "DIR/p," to display directory information a page at a time."
Not only do they explain it, but give a real life situation where it'd be useful! It's always hard to sort through 22,000 lesbian porn pics.
"really, all they wanted to do was send digital pictures of the kids to Grandma."
Of course, it continues on with:
"Heistad came back with a shopping list that would get them that, plus a home theater, a wireless network, new computing, a tricked-out music system, and GPS positioning capabilities"
HA! You think a group of geeks would only buy a camera and maybe a new PC? HA! GPS is definitely needed to send photos to grandma.
"You may like carrying around a cell phone, PDA, and iPod in your pockets, but I want one device that does it all."
Which won't happen until someone designs a better method of inputting data. Keys only get so small before they're not usable and phones can only get so big before it's bulky.
Of the ones I've tried, I think the easiest to setup and use, along with a large selection of codecs, is TeamSpeak. Yes, it sounds like it's designed for gaming, but I could see using this for many other applications.
But the big telemarketers don't open up phonebooks and start dialing.. They buy lists from other companies, many of which you probably have "prior business relationships" with.

It's where the term "bug", as we now know it, came from. Thus, that was the "first bug". Sure there were problems with the code/vacuum tubes/whatever before, but they never called it a "bug" until then.
I don't remember them mentioning Linux in that commmerical.. If I remember correctly, they just said they replaced all of them with one server (no mention of OS). Or not?

Although mirrors will probably be faster, if anyone wants the torrent, I set one up:

How'd you find the seller?
Here's an example for a book I needed this quarter:

206 billion isn't enough? I like that graph at the bottom. 10^14 digits by 2010!

Wouldn't some type of ticketing system work for this? For example, RT. I help out with a certain free dns service that started using this.
Shop around. Couple copies at half.com and cheaper than amazon at overstock.com. Addall is very helpful when buying my textbooks..

If they posted a bit torrent link, this never would have been a problem.

I'm sure a phone slashdotting will help their network out a lot. =)

It's a joke. laugh. =)
But IQ is not necessarily a good indicator of common sense or decision making ability ;-)
True, but remember that HALF of the population has below average common sense or decision making ability. =)

"I'm lucky, my DSL ISP lets me host servers, have a static IP and give them a call to say "Hi" for fairly cheap. Before you ask, Omsoft."
Reading that description, I was about to say, "hey, sounds like my ISP". Oh wait. It is. Omsoft rocks.
