Microsoft didn't even ship a competing product until several years later with the introduction of Excel in the late 1980s or early 1990s
RTentireFA, my anonymous friend. Multiplan was MS's DOS-based spreadsheet before they ported Excel.
I remember having to teach a Multiplan class once in the early '90s. Odd system, that. Kinda like Word 5.0 for DOS. [esc] brought up the menu. I promptly forgot Multiplan as soon as that class was over, and went back to using SuperCalc. (Now there was a DOS-based spreadsheet! Multiple sheets, sheet- and file-linking capability, ran on 640k RAM. *sniff* Good times.)
Makes me wonder how much they paid the Attorney General to keep the fine that low.
Unfortunately, it's well-known that Eliot Spitzer (that asshole) is incorruptible. He's exposed corruption in all sorts of industries, and is touted as the likely next Governor of New York State.
I think that the DJs who were accepting these bribes should be forced into retirement.
It wasn't the DJs this time, but rather the stations' Program Directors and Music Directors. Besides, there aren't very many actual DJs left, are there? And the ones who are there probably don't have the power to deviate from the playlist, at least on the stations that would play this crap. Somehow I don't see Pete Fornatale or Vin Scelsa falling for this.
Michael Jackson owns the songs (the publishing catalog), not the recordings. He would make money on it, but it's not his decision whether to place the recordings on iTunes.
Put the entire Beatles catalog up and watch the sales soar! Why not put up Led Zeppelin while you are at it? Those are the two biggest missing bands from legal downloads in the Classic Rock genre.
Plus AC/DC. My wife gave me an iTMS gift certificate, and I so wanted to download "Hell's Bells", but there's no blasted AC/DC. (At least, there wasn't a few months ago. I haven't checked recently.) And the only Deep Purple I was able to find was either new stuff that isn't any good or stuff from their criminally unknown first couple of albums, none of the songs that everybody thinks of when they think of Deep Purple.
But yeah, load up the Beatles, baby! You'd think Michael Jackson would be looking to make some money to help defray his recent legal expenses -- selling rights to the Beatles' catalog might be one source.
So people are panicing [sic] at every intersection?
In my neighborhood, yep. And there aren't even any red-light cameras.
Hell, I'd love for the cops in my 'hood to actually enforce the traffic laws. They could erase NYC's budget deficit in a week just off the double-parking. They could build up a surplus if they'd enforce the hands-free cellphone laws. And the failed West Side Stadium could be paid for in cash if people got tickets for not having their headlamps on when it's raining.
That slideshow is laughably unusable...[snippage]...Some brain-dead designer decided it would be a good idea to pop the slideshow open in a window that doesn't have scrollbars.
Hmm, sounds like somebody never learned how to navigate web pages with their keyboard. I had no problem moving through the slideshow by [tab]bing until the focus was on the ">", then pressing [enter]. Old-school, but effective in this case since there aren't a lot of links on the pages. That said, scroll bars would have been sorta nice.
I was differentiating the "SG/Les Paul" models from the ones that Gibson specifically called the "SG". The SG/Les Paul models were called simply "Les Paul" guitars by Gibson, but everybody else I know calls 'em "SG/Les Paul"s.
Then there are the other guitars with "SG" designations, like my '71 SG-200. Not to mention the double-cutaway Les Pauls that didn't have the SG body (viz the late-'50s LP Special and Junior, for example).
while in Cream, he also became associated with a red ES-335 and a psychedlic SG.
The SG wasn't an SG per se -- it was an SG/Les Paul (in other words, it had the body shape we've since come to call the SG but Gibson called it a "Les Paul").
"They are on super-secret probation" or something like that
Sing it with me, brothers: "Triple-secret probation".
The movie was good but I wouldn't say that memorable especially since it has been about a decade since I watched it.
Funny, I would have thought with an ID that low you'd be about my age (42). I guess not, 'cause Animal House was the Office Space of my generation -- everybody thought it rocked, and we all knew the lines.
The audience at Spamalot looked just like the audience at any other show
...aside from the group of schoolgirls who showed up dressed like nuns on Opening Night, and the guys who were dressed like knights. Yep, I remember seeing them at Phantom and Les Mis.
I don't know if it is this way for anyone else, but for me iTunes is extremely unreliable. It crashes half way through many attempted file transfers. iHate iTunes. Fortunately 3rd party apps have made the iPod usable for me.
iTunes is why I will never own a mac.
Funny. I have a Mac (iBook 14) and didn't use iTunes before I bought it, and (don't hate me but) on the Mac iTunes "just works". Never had a problem with file transfers. Sure, occasionally the tagging is off, or the CD I'm ripping isn't in the database so I have to add all the tags manually, but the transfer to the iPod is flawless. Maybe it's because you're running iTunes on Windows?
Or, this is one of those situations they invented the phrase "YMMV" for.
IIRC, there is only one stop -- South Ferry -- on the NYC system where this is the case right now due to the station being situated on a tight curve. The platforms retract until the train is in place and then extend to cover the gap
Also at Grand Central on the 4/5/6 and at the Times Square end of the S.

Unfortunately, he's also a pompous jerk who expects the rest of the world to bow down before him. He decided to go after a large insurance brokerage because he didn't like their General Counsel's attitude. I know several thousand people who won't be voting for him for Governor.
Damn, I need more coffee. I read the headline as "How can I detonate old hardware...".
I bet Mauricio Kagel is pissed that /. used the title of one of his pieces in this Slashback...

...the lack of a "vibrate" option kills it for a lot of people, me included. Other than that, it actually looks like kind of a nice little unit.
