I can't decide which is funnier - the point about IBM orchestrating all the outrage, or the point that SCO is somehow more "relevant" to the tech community because they've filed a bunch of press releases! SCO has committed the most vile of sin. Ok, I'll stop now.
Unfortunately, 1 penny is actually 38 pennies. (Is it? I haven't sent a snail-mail letter in a long time.) Thank you, USPS!
I wouldn't bet on there being a cheaper method of collecting pennies over the Internet, either.
Sorry, but Joseph Smith was born in Vermont, grew up in New York, started preaching in Ohio, and died in Illinois. He never went to Utah; that was Brigham Young (who, oddly, was also born in Vermont and grew up in New York.)
MSG tends to form spontaneously during many types of food processing. Gelatin, caseinate salts, textured or hydrolyzed protein, yeast products, and hydrolyzed gluten all contain MSG. Soy, malt, and whey products often do as well.
Not only that, it's sprayed on many crops as a growth enhancer.
No, that was standard RAM kept working by a lithium battery, which in Zelda carts is often long dead. A lot of PC motherboards, even brand-new ones, still store BIOS settings this way. Those few cents of extra profit add up, I guess.
I remember when I used to enter "billing@internic.net" as my e-mail address for every service (before they started requiring confirmation) and signed them up for all the free offers.:)
I heard an interesting theory about meteorites... somewhere.:/ Definately a sci-fi book, but I can't seem to recall which one.
Anyway, the idea was that a certain amount of meteor activity was required for higher life forms to sustain themselves. Obviously, if it's too frequent, the planet will become too hostile to support such life. But if it's too infrequent, the life forms will become fixed in ecological niches and be unable to adapt quickly enough to new conditions when a meteor impact does occur.
Fansubs- everyone seems to ignore that friendly message saying "Please stop distribution of this title when it is licensed." I have a feeling all of us, legit or not, are going to lose our free lunch one of these days.
16: He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17: so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Originally I thought this sounded eerily similar to fingerprints and retinal scanners. But I'm just an occultist quack, and an OT one at that.:p
What's *really* sad, IMO, is that digital pinball machines have shown up in arcades. Not just your usual table with an LCD, but software games in the regular arcade cabinets. This is fine on home computers and consoles, but in an arcade it's plain sacreligious.
I suspect the mechanical pinball machines break too often to be profitable these days, since you can't really charge more then 50 cents a play.
PacMan has 256 levels, but the very last one is corrupted. Far more prestigious then nearing the last level is nearing the perfect score: 3,333,360 points. This was first achieved in 1999 by a 33-year-old hot sauce manufacturer named Billy Mitchell, 19 years and over 10 million plays after the game appeared in arcades.

Music piracy was, sure. Remember when software made you enter word 9, paragraph 4, page 62 from the manual on each startup?
Sure. Just show me any new PowerPC chip and motherboard that you can get for under $846. I suppose you could gut a $799 eMac...

Has anything started on petitiononline.com actually been successful before?
I recall an Internet petition convinced the Princess Mononoke DVD producers to include Japanese audio and subtitles, but I think that was on Usenet.
It would be nice if Gentoo let you have, say, GTK1 and GTK2 installed at the same time like FreeBSD does.
Happy January 4th to you too. :)

Ah. That makes sense... didn't occur to me. n.n

I think they mean the field of prime number theory, not mathematics in general.
Hmm... that makes me wonder just how much the flawed anti-piracy measures of the Dreamcast ended up costing Sega.

> 19.2 Mb per minute, which is roughly 2.4 MB per minute Er, what were you trying to say here? No offense intended, we all make mistakes. :)
Sounds like a Via or Transmeta chip might work well, but who knows if they're any faster then the current one...
Magnesium alloy, buddy. Being that table salt contains sodium, I guess you think it explodes when put in water. :)

Glad to see you're passing the skills onto the next generation. Can the little tyke compile his own kernel yet? :)
Friendly suggestion: Try and use TenDRA instead of icc. It's even BSD-licensed.
Hey, isn't that in the Book of Revelation?
:p
