is Kung
Fu The Complete First Season. I ordered mine and got it in yesterday, watching the orginal 90 minute pilot last night. For 30.00, shipping and all, it was worth it.
Also, I don't have a link for it, but there is a petition to get the Duckman series on DVD (you probably find it with a google in a couple of mintutes). I signed it and look forward to it coming out on DVD...
Tell me, oh Johnny Carson, with a towel wrapped around your head and holding an envelope up to your forehead...are you considering just the non-exsistent WMD that Iraq didn't have or the WMD that the U.S.
is now busy planting in Iraq ???

I have been involved in a wireless ISP providing high speed Internet access to people in rural areas who can't get DSL. As innovative as our product is, as we use Motorola Canopy to get to the customers the phone company didn't want to spend the money on, our backend is still provided by...that same phone company. The phone company makes about 18,000-plus a year just on its T1 line to us. We get more customers and need another T1 or to go to a T3. The phone company makes even more off of us.
So the moral of the story is, don't discount owning the pipes. Some people may find a way around part of your business, but you can still stick it to your remaining customers for quite some time and get away with it!
First-Generation American's Job Taken By His Father
READING, PA -- Miguel Martinez, 48, who immigrated to the U.S. 30 years ago, last week lost his leather-cutting job at GST AutoLeather, Inc. to his 66-year-old father Roberto. "I came to this country in 1974 to make a better life for my family," Martinez said Monday. "But in December, they moved the factory where I've been working for 22 years down to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. I love my father, but that damn beaner stole my job." Martinez's $18-an-hour duties will now be performed by his father for $7 a day.
I have had good luck with RealAlternative. I put it on one of my web sites on which I have a lot of RealAudio files (http://www.reformed-theology.org/realaudio/). This month alone RealAlternative was downloaded 1177 times and last month it was downloaded 3211 times (I'm afraid to know about the legality of both the program and my ability to offer it for download). Basically RealAlternative is what the RealOne basic player should have been, period.
I'm with the rest of/. in that I despise RealAudio, but I started converting some of my more interesting audio tapes to the Real format because when I started doing it, it was basically the only game in town. Nobody had heard of MP3s back then or wma files, and you could compress an hour of audio down to an AM-radio-quality 5 MB file. If I had it to do over again, hell yeah, I would do it differently. But I have many, many hours of audio files and I'm NOT starting over from scratch.

I submitted an Ask Slashdot question just a couple of days ago for the most easily hackable DVD player. I had one of the orginal APEX DVD players with the hidden menu system in it and it finally gave out on me. Anyway, the question was rejected (seems playing multi-player games at the office was a more improtant question).
Someone else submit the question again. I just have no luck getting anything accepted.
If a work was published before 1922 (?) everything is in public domain. However, after 1923, the copyright holder had to renew the copyright every 15 (?) years or it expired. I was looking at some books that were printed in 1923 and up that I wanted to republish. Well, they are public domain if they were not renewed, however the only real way to find out if they were renewed is to do a lot of expensive research, and if that is the case, the books aren't worth messing with.
Keep in mind this is research for a couple of books that really narrows the search down because the author was known. Think about blanketly trying to research all patents that might affect you if you were trying to bring a totally new product to market!
Big companies love this stuff because they know the little guy can't get his foot in the door.

Damn, I did a google and found the following:

Is that scary or what?

Oh yeah, and if we do go against an area that does have DSL available, we have to compete against the same people who provide our backend!
