When they start predicting what the scanner is going to say call me.
You're suggesting that we build a scanner scanner. Presumably it would know which button the subject's subject is going to press 14 seconds before the act.
Then we build a scanner scanner scanner, and so forth.
Now there is proof that artist do not need the record labels to make money
It doesn't really prove that. Radiohead were already famous. They were made famous by two record labels that spotted their talent and invested lots of money in them. Radiohead are pretty fucking good, but talent doesn't always float to the top by itself. We'd probably never have heard of them had money not been spent on them to allow them to buy decent equipment and market their records.
Times have changed since Radiohead started out, but it still doesn't hurt to have a label backing you.
So, while I find the freeDOS project cool in a nerdy sort of way I do not see how the amount of effort that went into it was worth the actual usefullness of the project.
I agree. FreeDOS is awesome!
I had to use FreeDOS for something a few years ago, but I can't for the life of me remember why. I remember running it in QEMU, I remember being simultaneously impressed with QEMU and FreeDOS, but I can't remember what I was actually doing.
Anywho, I know it must be good software because I'm not easily impressed.
For simplicity's sake (!) we'll ignore US laws which bias our elections to favor only Republicans and Democrats.
I concur; I find that democracy has a tendency to represent the majority.
We'll also ignore that under the US Constitution the antiquated and undemocratic Electoral College selects the president and not the American people.
Yes! Our votes should be counted by a single central authority. An organisation incapable of error.
And, of course, we'll ignore that Corporate America funds our elections and politicians so effectively that corporations sometimes -- literally -- write laws that they then have their politicians enact.
I'm beginning to think the people have lost their faith in politicians.

The answer is left.

I was going to call you, but then I didn't.
New punctuation update "~" (no quotes) at the end of a line to indicate sarcasm.
That's a fantastic idea.(!)
Unless a large man armed with a baseball bat "requested" you to produce such a simulation.
Maybe in the new virtual worlds there'll be something good on TV.
I think I'd be impressed by a realistic virtual world. This one isn't convincing. There's a dead pixel in Iowa.
With your permission I'll dream about that tonight.

Wow! A blue^H^H^H^H^H^H kill me.
No raw HTML/CSS template editing yet, but apparently that's coming soon. The labels thing is a pretty good idea. I made a blog. It's awesome.
... there are some videos of the GUI.
Have they? Fuck! I always miss these mass exoduses. I'm still running Gentoo and Slackware.
D'oh...
