Of course, that was an 'accident', and not a cynical marketing ploy...
Funny how the heat was never an issue running Telengard on a PET2001. I guess the 64k processor used alot more power... IIRC they both used the same processor, a 6502.
May I point you towards the works of Blind Guardian, Manowar, Hammerfall and Iron Maiden, for examples of metal music with plenty of 'melody and harmony'.
I have a whole bunch of feeds, one for each of my favourite TV shows. You may find feedburner.com useful in munging the output from torrentspy or wherever.
Secondly, there is such a thing as 'Champagne Cognac' - nothing to do with the sparkling wine, but a specific part of the Cognac region with (IIRC) chalky soil.
Either way, no cider isn't distilled from wine, but rather fermented apple juice (and up to 25% fermented pear juice).
This talk of alcoholic beverages has made me thirsty.

Nothing at all major... but I still find myself using those shortcuts, and finding they don't work as expected.I certainly don't miss pop-ups, spyware and general bugginess though.
Fox viewers were the most misinformed?
Wasn't it Fox that decided Bush had 'won' the last election?
eh?
Not sure I quite follow your reasoning. If I view a web page served from an apache server, does my browser have to be GPL?

"Then, when they established that record, they turned off their amplifiers and broke the record for an unamplified connection at the same distance."
does that mean that the connection wasn't actually established unamplified... merely maintained?
I would make a comment about your deficient spelling, but that would be mean.
I don't see how we could be considered to be technologically impaired, though. My study looks like something from NASA...
