You wern't the only one. Those Quantum Bigfoots were ass. I worked for a compaq service provider during the tiem they were using those in the Deskpro's. We had over 50% failure rate on them. they replaced them with WD's IIRC.
Her implants are Saline. not sure if that explodes at 0G or not.

Geez. He was comissioned for a fee to produce a work of art. He did the work and got paid, that's the end of it. It's been going on for a long time in the art world. Now the company turns around, prints it on 500,000 pieces of paper stock and makes x amount of money, that's their right. That's what they comissioned the artwork for. I'm sure your friend signed a paper stating that he gives up certain rights to the work. Now say they want him to do some more work, then he's in a negotiating position. He can deal for Cash and a percentage of the profit. All in all, I would say your friend and WoTC each got what they were after in the deal, if he's complaining now, consider it a lesson learned.
One point. Wizards did NOT bring us D&D. They bought the company and publish it but did not invent it. D&D or AD&D is you will were great before Wizards got ahold of it. I don't totally like all the changes in 3rd addition but the licencing of the d20 system was a great idea.
it took go.com (disney) buying up and bastardizing infoseek to get me to switch to google. Google didn't have search withing results at the time. So when google finally sells out where do I go?
my company usually spends a year or so before rolling out a new system. When win2k was released they spent time and money planning and testing for both server and desktop. Just as the server installs started MS announced win2k's sunset date. we had just started our desktop rollouts, and had none in production, so everyone on the workstation project backed up and started on XP so we would have a longer life. even so we've been running NTWS for 4-5 years and it may be another 6 months before the first production workstations are turned out. by then windows RG should be out
Don't you know that there hasn't been an original bit of humor since Eden? God said to Adam, "I can make you a woman who's beautiful, industrious, mild tempered and compliant". Adam says "Great what will it cost me?" God replies, "An arm and a leg." Adam ponders and says "Gee I dunno, what can I get for a rib?"
MOre power to them then! Is it such a crime to be successful? Is there anything wrong with reaping the success of your hard work? If you don't like the RH distro don't use it, there's plenty more out there. You can even download it for free and not pay them anything. Best of both worlds for everyone involved. They are really just charging for support. That is where the real money is in any tech venture.
If you wern't such a N3WBI3 you would know that the guys does not even read his own site. You would also know that bitching about duplicate articles is a time honored tradition here. If these things bother you so much make your own damn site.
since you didn't specify what you like to listen to, it would be hard to make a suggestion. My favorite radio station is KNAC.com. No commercials that i've ever heard although a few popups when you hit the site. they have RA as well as WMP streams. Most of the tunes that they play I want to hear, and if you have a request that hasn't been played within the last few hours you can log on to the chat and request it from the dj. If you were a kid living in the LA/Long Beach area during the 80's, KNAC was the station for metal. KROQ was good for most commercial AR but KNAC played everything. KNAC the station died as far as metal goes about 10 years ago but somebody picked up the torch with KNAC.com. It's definately not sucky.
When those edicts come down i just get a business case from my manager. I need to wear durable clothing because of the sharp edges servers have, along with the lifting and crawling around on the floor, etc... I hate having $40 -$50 pants ripped up with no reimbursement. For work clothes my wife just shops at the outlet for whatever brand khaki's are on sale and generic polo shirts. and for footwear I find a nice pair of Red Wing boots shined once a month are servicable for a year. After all its work, not a fashion show for me.

Maybe you should have loaned Agassi you raquet today. Something wasn't right with him. Sampras was on top of his game but Agassi looked a little slow.

Yes they do. And they get paid more than you will ever see in your pathetic socialist lifetime.

Yummy, but it gives me the shits something awful
You actually sit around imagining what ass would taste like?
Stupid moderators, my post was not off topic, it was blatant flamebait.
Please do better in the future.

We are talking about the same internet where people trade music all the time for free, but for some reason they don't get that concept with porn
Porn has always been free on usenet.
Before then there were BBS's that had plenty if you knew where to look.
Well considering the fact that life expectancy keeps going up, I guess that life was pretty shitty way back when.

Thank you of that reminder of the terrible sacrifices made by all who served their country in the armed forces.
