If payola was a crime, then Dick Clark would have gotten arrested long ago. The crime was not sucking up properly. Maybe that's not what's on the books, but that's the way it is. That's why Dick Clark is the legend he is today, and why Alan Freed got blacklisted. they did the same damn thing, but Clark turned in Freed, to rid himself of some pesky competition. He's like the Pat Boone of programming. You wanna read about the death of Rock 'n Roll radio? Look up Alan Freed.
Ok, but here's a question. I believe I've dug up a few "The Bone" radio stations. Here in the SF bay area, it's 107.7. They play the same bands, is there a corporate boogeyman in the closet? One who doesn't announce himself as much as ClearChannel?
To their credit, they seem to avoid the ClearChannel line in any event, hiring local DJ's , having local contests, focusing on the local music scene. Our Bone rocks too.
Since I work in radio, I instantly thought Triple A (Album Adult Alternative) radio format -- suddenly I pictured a first person shooter, with Kenny G as the target...
It could be the game that breaks things wide open for the X-Box. Really.
I was just thinking that the Tekki controller might just be a good option for MSFS. Plus I'd really like to see more games using this controller. I like seeing good, imaginative controllers, and hate to see them used as one-off peripherals. Dreamcast maracas anyone? (not to say I don't still use mine)
But, just in case they DO go down, I think the public has a right to an archive. I'm currently "archiving" the side 300 times a minute, just in case there's any changes.
I'll have you know that with a stove and a wire coat hanger, I have made toast. With a fire and a fork, I have made toast. With an oven, I have made toast. No matter how illegal you make toasters, toast will always be made.
Sure, cocaine trafficking would be perfectly legal, so long as posession of cocaine was legal in both countries and it was transported in such a manner as to not break any meatspace laws. You can't email cocaine, and it jams up the fax machine, so tell me where existing laws fail to come into play just because the internet was involved. Yes, making the deal may not break any laws, but the trafficking itself would be just as illegal (and futile, depending on how you look at it) as before.
"The crazy guy" is actually Robert Llewellyn, whom you may remember as Kryten (the robot with a head shaped like a novelty condom) from another BBC channel 4 series, "Red Dwarf".
The music (with lyrics) plays during the Autobots' battle alongside the Junktacons against the Decepticons on the planet Junk. Or maybe it was the Autobots against the Junktacons before they all became friends. Either way, Wreck Gar was a badass.
The music fom Spy Hunter was the theme to the hit detective show Peter Gunn, and composed by none other than Henry Mancini (Pink Panther, Baby Elephant Walk, many others) himself!
Only if you do not consider the noble beaver to be an animal. Beavers consistently and often radically change their environments from wooded areas with streams to ponds and sometimes even lakes.
Hmm.. It seems that a lot of the non-RIAA labels are punk labels. Well, here's another one: Hopeless Records They have a bunch of different styles of bands, and one of them (Mustard Plug) has also spoken out in support of Napster.
As far as the artificial inflation if album price, yeah, there aren't really any labels that altogether don't, but dischord is really good about it. Most, if not all of their disks and records have a blurb on the back saying "This CD is $11.00 postpaind from Dischord Records, 3819 Beecher Street. NW, Washington DC, 20007" And so any stores that sell Dischord stuff usually have it as the cheapest stuff there, since if they overcharge you can just get it straight from the label.
Sure, write good music, give it away for free so that everyone knows who you are, then go on tour. The touring itself may not make a lot of money, but the real money's in merchandising anyway. What's that? Only big bands can make good money off merchandising? Not at all! I was in a band, and we made al our money to record our album by selling handmade T-Shirts, giant underwear with our logo on them (which became fashionable to wear on one's head), and handmade patches with our stamp on them. We didn't have to pay for our own guitar strings, bass strings, valve oil, or drumsticks for two years because of the band fund.
That was one of my original thoughts on the matter. I thought it might have been a variant of the papa virus, which was itself a variant of the melissa virus that pinged some IP address. I figured, why not set it up to look for a web page and then ping the hell out of an IP on that?
If someone did do that, would that mean that Linux and Solaris boxen would be immune to DDoS attacks, since the windows macros wouldnt run on them?
That gives me an interesting idea. I'm sure someone's thought of it before, but how about putting a bot in a channel like #linuxhelp or something similar as a faq-bot? It could build its brain file based on questions and answers and after a while be able to answer common questions and do simple troubleshooting on its own. That'd really be helpful for that sort of thing. Of course, it might just tell people to pray when things went wrong, and then ask for cybersex.

The second geek made the right choice. Her clothes wouldn't have fit.
I find it disheartening that so few people realize how awesome Jet Set Radio Future is.

fixed it for you.
Don't count out Snake, Rattle and Roll. I can see a comeback for the best isometric platformer ever.

It's interesting that Steven Brill and his settlement with writers are mentioned, since, as you can see here, he is, in fact, the CEO of Contentville

I seem to remember Sub Pop getting bought out by Geffen during the Grunge craze.

> 2. PK ZIP - arguably the most common file compression format in use today. Rest in peace, Phil Zimmerman.
As far as I know Phil Zimmerman is very much alive, and didn't have much to do with PK ZIP anyway. I believe you mean Phil Katz.
According to the company that makes it, http://www.saintsong.com.tw/it/en glish/ithome.htm, there is an option for a DVD drive.

Well, when someone on IRC tells me they have large brea^H^H^H^Heyes, bells definitely go off for me.

I dunno, but in Red Dwarf, Lister likes to use the term too.
