For me, just getting feedback is a great motivation to continue with my work.
Well, I admit I'm not quite talented as a cartoonist (I'm better off as a computer programmer ^_^), but even if I were, I know how things work here, and so I don't expect to get a dime for it. Ever.
It's something I wanted to do for fun. That's all.

Have you ever tried running vi locally instead of remotely?
Over a 9600 bps line (like those used on some old terminals) it really sucks, I agree.
But if you download some vi clone and run it on your computer...
When I entered PUC, they had one of the two bigger subnets of my country, Chile. It was a whole class B, and they still own it.
The first day, internet was alien to me, but as I had some previous computing knowledge, I quickly started to use it regularly.
I discovered the web that day. A week after that, I discovered the USENET, and two months after that, I set up my first web page at Geocities, and the rest is history.
I study all the mornings (roughly 30 hours/week), then go to work during the afternoon. And I try to get the most of this.
My country, Chile, has one of the highest average rates of work hours per year in the world (around 2200 or so, I don't remember), but the problem is productivity; they use more work hours, but most of the time is lost on distractions and routinely stuff that is worth nothing.
Of course, I try not to do that; that's why my boss don't want me to leave the job. The problem are my studies. I need the time for study, but I also need the money and I like my job... What to do? I dunno... Need sleep...

Huh... It looks like that practice is very widespread. " This page requires Internet Exploiter 5.x and Flash 5. (Not even Netscape) " " The information about the Big Test is only available in Word 2000 format. Download the SFX here. " and countless other examples.
I hope that this so-called "Revolution" would change this. --

Luis, who isn't surprised that the times shown in the page are in Chilean Time.

Chuchunco City 2000 the fighting game.
You can't get any worse from that.

And kill who, since the ones who did this are already dead?
Better not cause more harm that what's already done.
And it seems that it's the right thing to do, too.
I don't think that those lawyers deserve ANY payment for what they did, but if they get paid (by Adobe, of course), well, good.
Slashdot rejects UTF-8 because it thinks it's binary junk.
However, it does accept iso8859-1 characters, as in "Iré a dormir bajo un árbol."
It also does accept this notation: Ï (Ampersand # number ; )
Or UTF-7, like here:
Japanese Minami (South): +U1f/HVNBZwhe/1NB-
Japanese no ('s) : +MG4-
Japanese Yume (Dream): +WSL/HV7/dTBnCF8TYgj/O18TYgj/HVkV-]

And yet I'm still not understanding why they like pr0n... :)
I was in 8th grade, dreaming with space travels and video games. And I was a big fan of Chun Li.

In December 1991, I decided that I'll become a computer programmer, and now I'm here.
In May 1996, I set up my first homepage, in Geocities. Five years and I still don't have a decent web site. (Though you may disagree
Internet is not the same of the web. The internet is actually older.
