Yes, with the voice-operated missile tested with a live warhead, running on a macintosh quadra.

I think you have a slight misunderstanding of how payola works nowadays.
Radio stations do not receive direct payments from record labels. In fact, record labels do not technically give ANYTHING to radio stations.
Here's what happens: (1) Record label X is releasing a new album from Artist Y. (2) Record label X thinks that Artist Y will sell quite a few units with the proper promotion. Thus, X gets in gear. (3) What happens now is that X gets in touch with a promotional distributor such as Lift. This distributor takes some money to borrow promotional material from X to give to radio stations. These materials (cds, records, carts, etc. etc.) are technically ALWAYS property of the record label. No radio station has gotten anything for free. The label pays through the nose because there is no way to get your music heard on pop radio stations without one of these distributors unless you get really lucky. (I don't know how that happened, or why none of these distributors has been bought up by a big label yet, maybe it's an SEC thing) I'm not sure if radio stations get $ from these distributors for playing stuff, but that would probably be blatantly illegal and thus discouraged. (4) Of course, the label might send stuff to the radio station on their own, but that doesn't guarantee it getting played if it sucks anyway (not on my show at least)
Another way to pay off the radio station directly is to give them some tickets to give away. The DJ, obviously, gets in for free.
Wrong. Radio broadcasters pay a fee for every song that is played over the air. The killer for web broadcasting is that the license fees are per song PER LISTENER, shoving not only higher fees onto smaller radio stations, but also more recordkeeping requirements.
"Now I am really confused... On the many occasions I have dabbled with Apple Computers (after the Apple IIe I had in high school), they have been absurdly graphics-centric. Normally, scripting is associated with accomplishing tasks in a command line environment."
Scripting and macros have been part of the Mac user interface since before the actual release of AppleScript. Many Macintosh applications have a second, non-graphical interface available to AppleScripts, allowing them to be controlled or recorded much like the macros in Microsoft Office or the Actions in Photoshop.
When Apple released the Macintosh LC, one of its selling points was the IIe compatibility card (not quite relevant, but hey) Applied Engineering made two models of their PC emulator card for the Apple IIe/IIgs (i forget what they called it) Orange Micro made PCs-on-a-card for NuBus Macs. Apple even made their own PC Compatibility Card for some the Centris and Quadra machines.
probably a day or so. kernel 2.4.21 took a little while, probably because of all these slashbots sucking the new kernel all at once before the mirrors have a copy:)
the last few scrolling shooters that i remember are:
R-Type Delta for PlayStation, which has 2D gameplay with polygonal ships and bad guys and nice background effects (AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME!!!!!!!!!) Einhander from Square which was weird Ikaruga for Dreamcast and Gamecube
Perhaps you have seen Raiden Fighters in an arcade? I hope this came out in a home version.
Of course, you could just stick to using SNES9x and copies of Gradius III, Parodius, and R-Type III:)
New Coke was a fake to get the real "New Coke", a cheaper alternative, onto the market.
"New Coke" is distributed just long enough to exhaust existing stock of old Coke. Everyone hates it.
Coca-cola Classic comes around and tastes more like the actual original Coke, even though it isn't quite the same. The public adores it for NOT being New Coke.
A brilliant marketing triumph. It's so evil I'm getting goosebumps.
There is at least one guy who went from rags to riches and back more than once by spending all his time and money in casinos. Such a player could function as a loss leader, inspiring the unwashed public to gamble MORE in hopes of duplicating the guy's winnings.
Slashdot Mirror
Wrong.
Direct profits are taken from the record label's hands because a downloader decides to NOT buy a item and INSTEAD snag it for free.
Don't believe that anyone who downloaded the album was too poor to buy it in the store.
iirc, the RIAA has tried to go after the used CD market as well.
No, you just need to perfect your no-shadow car shove ninja kick.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch the film Shaolin Soccer (which is supposedly coming to US theaters)
H2O2 Jetpacks? What Olympics ceremony was this?
wouldn't the distributors be middlemen? anything that gets in the middle between me and the comic is a middleman, no?
Then who are web hosting providers and ISPs?

a list of recommendations would be greatly appreciated, mister.
replication = redundant database servers always having up-to-date data

red bull has been sold in the US since 1999.
Several manufacturers have tried this:

Orange Micro made PCs-on-a-card for NuBus Macs.

AAPL is already their stock symbol!
I don't think the people of Afghanistan outside of Kabul are going to see much benefit, since the US isn't in control outside of the city limits.

It would be ridiculous, because the Ford Explorer is not a pickup truck. No, neither is the Explorer SportTrac.
"Even just recently there was a remote DOS in some versions of postfix."
Big deal. DJB offers $500 for finding a security hole in qmail EXCEPT DOS attacks.

As I understand the article, they had 80 players on hand, and that wasn't enough to find the problems with the grid overloading.

Yup, the movie industry is all Republicans. That's why so many of them supported the Invasion of Iraq.
Oh wait.
