I got tired of the cost of ink cartridges. $24USD is just too much for casual printing.
I just dug my IBM (pre Lexmark) dot-matrix printer out of the closet and found ribbons on the web. Only $16 dollars for 3 ribbons. They'll last me at least a year.
"...so I could technically be in big trouble for owning the mp3s.
That's quite a "Revelation". It would take a "Brave New World" to adopt your idea of using serial numbers to ID albums we have bought.
If the RIAA ever tried to get its "Hooks in you", you might have to "Run to the Hills" or "Be quick or be Dead". It's not like you're guilty of "Murders in the Rue Mourge", but you would be an "Innocent Exile" sentenced to "Purgatory". A "Drifter" who would wander a "Strange World".
I guess we could wait for the *IAA to leave their "Sea of Madness", but waiting for that would amount to nothing more than "Wasted Years".
Oh well, live life like "The Trooper" and go "Where Eagles Dare". Don't forget to "Die with your Boots On".
For now, I'll just dream "Infinite Dreams" of "Running Free".
(I could probably work more songs into that, but then I would just be blowing "Holy Smoke")
I was told by my employer that twenty percent overtime is mandatory. Do we get overtime pay? Nope. When I asked why we need to put in the extra twenty percent when our billable utilization target is only ninety percent regular hours, I was told "That's just the way it is".
We don't have any goal we are actually working that extra twenty percent for. We just have to look busy so we don't get an unfavorable review at the end of the year.
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem putting in weekends and overtime when there is a particular job to be done. But when I am getting paid for a certain number of hours per year to work and I exceed that number, how about monetary compensation to reflect that?
...Linux 2.4. They were the T21 and T22 models. Machine type 2647-L?? Anybody else remember these?
They were selling them in 2000. I don't think those particular models were good sellers. I wonder if SCO is suing them as retaliation for dropping their particular distro and going with Red Hat and others on their server platforms.
Bottom line... They ignored you because even though someone was ripping people off, they weren't getting ripped off. Therefore it wasn't their problem.
Next time you report an incident like that, be sure to say you think they were sharing MP3s or using DeCSS to decrypt their DVDs. THAT will get the feds attention!
Its just sad what it takes to get people to do the right thing.
Mercedes Benz also includes Daimler-Chrysler. Actually, I was surprised not to see General Motors on that list. The computing infrastructure of the automotive companies is amazing.
The dam will ultimately be able to crank out 18,200 megawatts of energy a year, the equivalent of 26 nuclear power plants or 10 big coal-fired power stations burning 50 million tons of coal.
Think of all the Beowulf clusters that could be powered!

I guess it really could be called the "Red Planet".

I think I have experianced this on a couple of occasions while surfing for pr0n.
Skynet wasn't a Beowulf cluster. Sorry, but that ruined any shred of credibility the movie had.

I purchased an IBM Thinkpad with XPHome. Wiped the hard drive and loaded Mandrake9.0. Once I knew everything would run, I loaded Slackware 9.0.
It's fun to have a label on your laptop that says "Designed for Windows®XP" while running Linux on it.

How about a fine Chianti?
From the article, it sounds like Kurtz needs a good kick in the butt.
Don't you mean he needs to be terminated with extreme prejudice?

Leisure Suit Larry - First person shooter.
The polygon count and frames per second are high enough that it would be downright entertaining.
If there was a Multiplayer version, it would give "fragging" your friends a whole new meaning.
As a type-13 planet, I guess it was a matter of time before we annihilated ourselves by crushing our planet into a singularity.
