Dear God! The CIA has only been around for 58 years... that means there are 27,500 new agents each year. And with no known natural predators left post-USSR, they're reproducing like rabbits. What ever shall we do?
Nah, you can do that by yourself. I tried it once, but the horse wasn't actually dead. My girlfriend thinks the hoof sticking out of my forehead is kinda sexy, though.
You might want to give me a little warning before you plan your "killer evening" with me, though. I don't have any beer at the moment, so I suggest bringing your own. Thanks in advance!
No doubt people will frantically run to their grocery stores (or whatever the year 10,000 equivalent will be) and stock up on food resources. Also, at least one major television network will dig out with godawful Y2K "thriller" movie, edit in the years 9,999 and 10,000, and market it as a "horror story of tomorrow" just a week before New Years.
No, my friend... they will create BestNap!
Thousands of potential customers will be drawn in by the flashy marketing and seeming ease-of-use, but BestNap will fail to catch on, as most customers will fall asleep in the checkout line.
While I agree with you that it's a good idea to steer clear of such folks, I'd like to mention that there are non-bottom feeders at both forums.
After reading that particular threat at DU, I discovered there were more than a few folks that stated while they disagreed with Reagan, they'd never celebrate his death.
Sorry, I was operating under clouded judgement when I posted that. I must have misread the discussion over at MacSlash. Here's what Jodie Whitesides said in that article:
"I contacted several of my friends who had also done deals with the Orchard and found they are on BuyMusic as well, not mention that they were not told of this either and all of them thought the Orchard was out of business.
I started going to the Orchard's site, found that they still seem to be conducting business, unfortunately I can no longer get into my account cause the information there is so old that I don't have it anymore. I also started going through their catalog and searching for Orchard artists on BuyMusic. I'm finding about fifty percent to be up there and to this point, everyone I've contacted had no idea they were on BuyMusic, and also though the Orchard wasn't around anymore."
The more I read my original post, the more I see is wrong with it. It'd been a while since I read the MacSlash, so I botched it up pretty good. Imistakenly appened "Records" onto Orchard. I also should not have said "bulk" as no mention is made of how much of BuyMusic.com's stock is from the Orchard. Finally, the Orchard probably gave BuyMusic the right to that music, but according to Whitesides, the artists never agreed to it. I most likely have other errors, feel free to point them out.
After reading about Jody Whitesides' problem at MacSlash, I have to question why there isn't an organization that helps protect the rights of indie and small-time acts... They seem to be more deserving of protection than the big names anyway.
Anyhow, from what I understand... it sounds like BuyMusic.com is using music from Orchard Records illegally, after Orchard supposedly "tanked". Apparently the bulk of BuyMusic's selection is from Orchard and artists are recieving little, if any recompense for it. I'm guessing BuyMusic won't last long. Just my two cents.

Sounds like a case for... Team X-Treme!
Aren't you missing a ???? before "profit?"

Oh come on. This is Slashdot. I think we've all seen enough images of stretched assholes to hold our lunch down.
Prankster: Is your SHA-1 broken?
Techie: Yes.
Prankster: You better fix it, then.

It *is* spelled wrong. Check out the nearest dictionary or dictionary.com. I think it is you, not me, who missed the joke.

Hey baby, my mage wants to talk to your cleric. He's at level 50 and he's dying to have be part of a random encounter with you.
Nah, Google will have entered the music industry. G-Unit, anyone? Oh wait...

Crazy! I just read your post, and I'm seeing that too... I wonder what the full reason behind it's downtime is?

Looking at Sapphire/Slammer's speed of infection, why doesn't Microsoft create viruses to spread its hotfixes/service packs?
but seeing as I am having severe chest pains and my leg is bloated, I think I will call 911.
