The Russian District and Crackton are down by Springfield Harbor.
See where it says "Guide to Springfield, USA" in the lower right hand corner? Go west till you hit Crackton. The Russian District is just north and west of Crackton.
The discrepancy in location of the SNPP has already been discussed in other threads. Basically, it's been agreed upon that that was a one time joke.
Here's a link to one of those threads.
everyone who trades live shows of the artists I listen to uses SHN, period
So, you're saying that you expect the audio formats we've been using for the past decade to be the same formats we'll be using in the coming decade? Just becuase SHN and MP3 have maybe been around longer than OGG or FLAC doesn't make them better.
the only place I've ever heard of FLAC is on Slashdot
Well good for you. At least now you're educated. Tell me, in 1992/93 had you heard of MP3 or SHN?
Just curious, how does FLAC compare to the SHN format it is replacing?
Basically, FLAC has better sampling rates - 24bit, 96khz (a cd is 16bit, 44.1khz) so it is more likely to be a relevant format in the future, is streamable, is compatible with ID3 tags, has an OSI approved license, has integrated checksums, this list goes on... And FLAC does it all in a smaller file size than SHN.
There is a discussion about the practicality of its use as well as a technical comparison for you to glean more information from.
Thus spake Matt Oppenheim: ...just because a car is sitting idling and unlocked does not mean that you can get in it and drive it away for your own use
So, by that same logic I could put a public server full of my legally purchased cds on the Internet for my own personal use. But if someone comes along and decides to download them I should not be at fault, right?
Then why is the RIAA suing those who do just that?

I disagree with the "any publicity is good publicity" theory in this case.
I've been following this case for some time now, and although I'm no expert, I do believe the majority of the *nix community believes SCO is making a huge mistake -- especially after listening to the conference call.
Who has gone out and purchased SCO licenses, support, or stock since this all began? Who has dumped SCO software or licenses since this all began?
I know my company has been phasing out SCO with RedHat GNU/Linux over the past year and this whole mess has accelerated the migration procedure.

That's from "Barting Over" (#EABF05 / SI-1405)
Kentucky Fried Panda is up the "SPRINGFIELD" sign. Go west one block from the High School.
Perhaps that was actually Palais de Donut? I don't recall for sure.

Actually, the Internet King just needed some money up front before he could begin work on that upgrade.
What is that? A challenge?

Oh yeah, and FLAC is now a part of Xiph.
There is no way to decode FLAC in OS 9....
See this post from etree.org regarding it.

haha! That's funny. Under the current US administration, saying "f*ck you" to the RIAA/DMCA/Whatever practically does make you a terrorist.
