I have been working steadily for the last several years, covering my body with an extra several layers of fat and hair. This is my camo; it hides what I don't want seen.

Hair recession roundabouts the top of my head distorts and scatters light rays, further confounding any video devices.

No, BeOS has supported drivers for NE2000 ethernet NIC's even though ATM/Gigabit/FDDI is faster. The BeOS supports IDE even though SCSI is the superior choice. A SoundBlaster16 compatible sound card isn't the best, but nearly everyone has one.
The People's Almanac #2 (David Wallechinsky and Irving Wallace, 1978) is a bit outdated, so this may no longer be true (more info, anyone?), but on page 77 we read:
"There is a 1500 square-mile section of northern Colorado, west of Denver, not owned by the U.S. three days a year. According to the records of the General Land Office, this territory "was acquired neither through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the Texas annexation of 1845, nor by treaties with the Utes who apparently never claimed it." This un-American region--its residents possibly not U.S. citizens-- included the town of Breckenridge. To check this further, in 1977 the Almanac editors called the Colorado Bureau of Land Management, who admitted the quesstionable area "was blank" on their maps, showing no admission date to the U.S. According to the Colorado Historical Society, a strip of land 90 miles long and 30 miles wide in the Breckenridge area had been a no-man's land due to an early surveyor's error, but was officially made part of the U.S. on Aug 8, 1936, with a special proviso that the area retain "the right to be a free and independent kingdom three days each year." Since then, a "No Man's Land" fesitval has been held annually in August. However, part of the region may still not be U.S. territory."
"Start your own country? Yes! This book tells the story of dozens of new country projects and explains the options available to those who want to start a country of their own. Covers diplomacy, national defense, sovereignty, raising funds, recruiting settlers, and more, including names and addresses of current projects. Over 100 pages of fascinating case histories illustrated with dozens of rare photos."

Off the top of my head I can think of at least one country who should have armed their citizens so that the Germans didn't completely whoop their ass twice in the same century......
Europe is just a bunch of rebuilt monuments anchored in tons of human bone meal. The American point of view is that we saved your French ass and now you're trying to mess up our clocks, which, come to think of it, doesn't really bother me. Just keep that damned fish-soup over there.

I picked up a Damaged/Discontinued Compaq Pressario Pentium 166 for $300 (chip on the modem was burnt -- removed the modem -- computer boots).
I purchased Redhat 6.0 from Cheapbytes for $2.00+S/H.
I registered my domain (not infidels.org) for $70 for two years.
Other than the ISDN price, my entire domain/dns/mail/web/listserv-lite/workstation/etc cost me less than $400.
MS now sells Windows NT Services for UNIX for $150 to give NFS/Telnet capabilities on NT. Not counting the base price. Plus CAL's. No additional software.
The Jesuit priest who prepared Napolean's body for burial chopped off his peter, which was rather small. It was sold in the 70's (I believe) for $40,000 at auction at Christie's. Can't find my sources for this, though.....
NT 4.0 Resource Kit, Supplement 1, Chapter 7 sayeth:
"You might effectively increase existing bandwidth by increasing the length of the connection queues. Requests for connections to the IIS services are held in queues until the service is available to respond to the request. A separate queue exists for each of the IIS services, but all queues have the same maximum size. By default, each queue can hold up to 15 connection requests. If the queue to a service is full, any new connection requests are rejected.
The default queue length of 15 connection requests is sufficient for most servers. However, if your server is rejecting many requests when the services are most active, you can increase the maximum number of items in the queue. If you change the queue length, be sure to monitor server processor use, server memory use, and the connection counters to avoid creating a system bottleneck.
To change the maximum number of connection requests in the queue for each IIS service, add the ListenBackLog value entry to the Registry. Set the value of ListenBackLog to the maximum number of connection requests you want the server to maintain. You must place ListenBackLog in the Registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Serv ices\Inetinfo\Parameters
Although there are separate queues for each IIS service, the maximum length for all three of the queues is identical and is determined by this value entry."

I hope that with their new-found money they can develop and support a SoundBlaster16 driver. Yeah, I know, but I don't WANNA upgrade.
