  1. Never happened to me on Gene Roddenberry's Floppy Disks Recovered (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    so fluked out there as we use to download software like Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator from FTP sites which was 40+ 1mb files which then needed to be spliced backtogether. I'd download the files from my buddies computer which had a 56.6K modem while I only had a 14.4 at that time.

  3. Re:Private DB of public data? No thanks on Discogs Turns Record Collectors' Obsessions Into Big Business · · Score: 1

    And yet you are contributing to Slashdot.

    Use to use Discogs a lot years ago for rare electronic music info and its great for finding rare cd's that you can't buy anymore.

  4. Re:I'd love to have a used book store on Kindle or Not, a Resurgence In Used Bookstores · · Score: 1

    Although sometimes its out of ones control when a business starts to fail you'll never know if it will unless you try it. Having a solid business and exit plan is essential (Min you my current business has none and its doing good) but even then no guarantees if there's some social or technological change that will make it fail.

    If your plan is to suck out every penny out of the business for your self and not reinvest into it, it will fail on the first market slow down.

  5. Since The Road on Star Wars Pulls In $1 Billion At Record Speed (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    where I took my son and we paid $20+tax for two tickets and another for popcorn and drinks, I said fuck it no more of this BS. Got a large screen tv and a media players and never looked back. Just hit the pawn shops a few weeks after a movie comes out and then get it for $4 actually now don't even care I just free load when I can with torrents. I gto 800+ dvd's to got plenty of re-watch material.

    Well just because you can't find time in your life doesn't mean others cant. Besides now one says you have to get rich from your business, its all about working for your self and having control over your life.

  7. So can the file tracking on North Korea's Operating System Analyzed (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    be used by citizens in "democratic/free" countries to find out if they were violate by their countries gov/spy agencies?

  8. I'd love to have a used book store on Kindle or Not, a Resurgence In Used Bookstores · · Score: 1

    or say a coffee shop/small casual diner with 1000s of book available to read and for sale. I'd probably make it two levels, the bottom floor where everything is served/bought and with seats for people to eat/talk and upstairs where people can browse books and read them all day long while they drink coffee/beverages/food.

    Reason i say two levels as it''ll probably be cheaper to for rent 1000sqf bottom with a large mezzanine then say 1500sqf on one floor.

    Now I'm not a book reader and haven't read book for years but still for me there is something strange and calming when I visit second hand store with a large book selection.

  13. This was in the Vancouver BC area (was Rogers Cable then Shaw). It was like that from like that from 1999+ I've been trying to find a video of it but can't seem to find one. That sound is burnt into my head now lol every time I watch SG1

  14. When it was on tv here right before it would play they would show the sfx of travelling through the stargate with a dial up modem sound during it. They had that for years.

  15. Love that intro. Its one of those things that burn into you mind for even and comes up when you think of the product. Like when SG1 was on and they would play a modem sound when the show started.
