WWED? Elvis at his best would have realized that it's what the kids want to do. Exposure via p2p = album sales in whatever medium the user should prefer? Wanna download the mp3's for 10 songs for 5 bucks? sure? burn your friends copies? such a nice guy. It's free publicity. How hard is it to understand that exposure via friends / word of mouth is some of the most powerful around. p2p and IM allow for cheap exposure most artists couldn't get otherwise. Elvis would have chatted with his fans on-line; posted movies in quicktime and mpeg, and provided mp3s of rare and hard to find tracks to members of his fan club for a small yearly fee. Elvis would have sold DVDs of his movies; and DVD's of his concerts? He'd of utilitied his cult of personality for fun and profit in a way that people like Wil Wheaton or Mighty Shatner have done. Shatner is a vintage fellow at this point, but he's on board with the net. And Wil? He's fucking Wesley for crissakes. He's even got Amiga Video Toaster cred.
He should come back and haunt some of these RIAA assholes into understanding that copy protection and DRM are useless. If you can hear the music, you can copy it. It just takes one and it's out there. But it's no big deal if there is a reasonably priced, legal option. Most people aren't total assholes. Elvis' corpse would get that in it's current decayed state. It's just that simple.
I've loved the term "Technomage" ever since I first heard in on B5. It just seemed so - right somehow, since most customers/users/non-teks think what we do is akin to black magic anyway.
I've managed to keep Technomage on my business cards - even after two-dot bombs, mostly because I keep asking for the title. I still think it's more descriptive of my actual job function than most.
They should of used one of the C-64's instead of IIS. It might of stood up to the slashdotting (@ 15 comments???) better. I know my TI-99/4A could handle that many BBS users back in the 85. How Far we've come... *sigh*
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!
adj. freer, fre
Not imprisoned or enslaved; being at liberty.
Unobstructed; clear: a free lane.

Go ahead and mark everything with 666. But I bet the devil will be pissed when his toothpaste rings out as bacon @ the cash register.
None necessary, not even for beating me to it...

If you're going to have access to one hole, I'd rethink THIS choice.
Were can I get one of these IBongs? I'd really like a green one.
Judging by the photo for Mr. Mitchell, a whole lot of meth of also required!
I cannot get the image of MS-Beer out of my mind now. Damn You!!!! ;)
A truly great bad movie. Ya know I'm glad they put the cave troll stuff in that article. Super Cave Troll Powers, Activate!
evangalize the marvelously funny Invader Zim... Invader Zim Lots of anime' influence of in the style, and imo a cartoon that should matter for nerds.
