Mac users are like Mustang owners. So are Linux users, though Linux users are more like "muscle car" owners, each with their favorite version (distro).
Windows users, on the other hand, drive a Chevy Lumina, or a Ford Escort. They don't band up.

Those were manufactured by Mouse Systems (who OEM'ed the "cigarette pack" three button optical mouse.
I still have one of those pads lying around somewhere... (They later switched from metal to mylar on foam).
The LA Public Library has something called "Project Bestseller". If you don't want to wait forever for a copy of a currently bestselling book to become available (I waited 4 months for "Shelters of Stone" -- what a waste), you can check out books from the PB shelf. These books are actually rented at $0.15 per day. They are also available to borrow for free, but you generally have to wait for them.
Thanks. I'm tried the Belgian download. I'm now getting 72KB/s. 1 hour is a heck of a lot different than 16 hours (yes, I know the times don't match up -- but that's what my browser told me).
Win1 was announced '83, release 85? 86? Win 1.03 was bundled with my Tandon 286 back in Nov 1988. Win2 was released somewhere between mid-88 and mid-99. Win3 was released Jun '90. (I remember sitting in the hospital, with my wife in labor, having brought the BYTE mag with "Who needs OS/2?" on the cover -- she was asleep at the time, before you flame me).
\i{Look at how today's technology compares to NASA. They sit and pore over every detail, examine and re-examine; approve and check. What are they using in the space shuttles? 386's for main computers still?}
BZZZT! And thank you for playing. They don't use '386s because they spent so long checking the code.... They use 386s Because they've been proven reliable. They spend hours and months poring over the code, providing traceability and working on correctness because if they fuck up, people die.
You can't compare NASA to today's "Ship it now! If we ship an hour later we'll lose $1M" business world. Totally different set of requirements.
If you think you the right to say some material is offensive and not within the mission of a library then you better damn well expect ME to have the same right. I'd start with the Bible, it's filled with sex, violence, even incest!
Not to mention condoning terrorism... What else do you think the 10 Plagues were? What else would you call killing innocents (the Slaying of the First Born) in order to achieve a political objective (free the Hebrews)?
I mean, sure, you could go ahead and open a donut shop called "Radio Shack", but you'd just be asking for it.
Except that:
1. JSL does business dealing with... visas. You know, those documents that allow you to stay in a country? The thing that the 9/11 hijackers got 6 months after 9/11?
2. JSL owned evisa.com since 1997. VISA applied for TM status in 1999.
I know they did. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I learned about it when taking a course on DIS. A STRICOM guy mentioned it... It was downloadable for a while, but google can't seem to find it. Maybe I should try the Wayback Machine!
I prefer the analysis from Lucifer's Hammer, wherein they discuss the impact of a cubic mile of hot fudge sundae (Of course, Hot Fudge Sundae fell on a Tuesdae that year).

I just can't help but think of Yogi Bear whenever I read this...
"I'm faster than the average bear!"
He was referring to generic cars. He's right.

I thought the TURBO button was for Lotus 123 Rel 1A and it's lovely copy protection!

All 3 US mirrors are slashdotted. I was getting 6KB/second and I have a broadband connection. Heck, I couldn't even connect to Penn State!

The rest of the world all has differnt oppinions about guns mostly because they are something that can destabalize nations
And that, my friend, is exactly the point of the Second Amendment.

CA has an anti-SLAPP law. If they're being sued in CA (PanIP is in San Diego), they could be bitch-SLAPPed nastily.

You forgot "#include <stdio.h>"

Well, that's it you see! Alan Ralsky thought it said spamming tree protocol and tried to use the network!
The LA Public Library's self-checkout terminals run MS-DOS 6.22. 15 seconds from cold boot to ready to accept your card (including net connection).
I know -- I watched a librarian boot (not re-boot) the thing.
So I'm gonna have to wait 3 years before someone can get the performance they had back in 1984?

. At least untill someone whips out a, "sharpie pen exploit."
You know, they should have arrested that football guy for possessing (and flaunting!) a circumvention device.
Even better, send Jack Valenti, Hilary Rosen, and Michael Eisner!

So what did you and your friends decide to do if giant robots with photon torpedos took over the planet?
And the Marine Corps used a modified version of DOOM for training as well.
