Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 04, 2003 5:42pm PSTMan, it's been a marathon around here for sure. Amazingly we've been making a little bit of progress on importing Dutchie here to the US, and it's not nearly as expensive as we had feared it would be. In addition I've been wrapping up a couple more FileShack perks for subscribers which I'll get to later. I would like for you ladies to first peruse these stories of interest:
- Web advertising working? PSHAW RIGHT - Crazy vacuum coin sucking meter bandit - Student sued over file swapping - Skycar coming - AOL wants IM reliefLastly, by some kind of miracle I managed to get CDW.com to agree to a new promotion with FileShack which we're hoping to bring live this weekend. Starting soon all Mercury subscribers will be entitled to a 5-25% discount on nearly the entire CDW inventory. CDW has a long history of quality service and we've got a guy there who is dedicated to handling all Shack related orders. I hope you guys enjoy :) This isnt the only discount deal I've got in the works, but it's the first one to go final. The goal is to have Mercury pay for itself and then some by the savings that it can create for you guys.

So, Fat Albert hires me to be his private detective. Someone is stealing his lugage before he leaves town all the time. I know it's his girlfriend but I'm going to string him along so it looks like i'm working for the money. Anyway we get to talking and it turns out that he got screwed on his contract and never made a dime on the cartoons. So now he's trying to get this comicstrip off the ground where he's all hard and from the street and shit.
WTF was that all about?
Also I had a sweet house that is a reoccuring feature in a lot of my dreams. I'm building that bad boy one day.
I understand the good accuracy and insane reaction speeds.
But wtf, they vulture like 1/3 of the kills i would otherwise get. Out of nowhere the dude i just whupped gets finished off by 1 stray bullet.
And another thing, several times now, I have unloaded a quad damage shotgun blast into someone - and they survive. Thats just not possible. Point fucking blank, center of the chest quad shotgun blast. And the last time it happened another one of those stray bullets killed the guy I just shot.

Remember how the german started WWII? And then what they immediately did? Take a large step and compare it to 9/11 and what the US is doing.
Remember 12 Monkeys? Take another large step and compare it to this SARS flu thing.
NOW, dont forget to take the hats back off.

I remember that there was a problem with a WinXP slowdown, and there was a hotfix released. The problem is, the original link (http://www.paricom.com/matt/xphotfix/i386/) is down.
Anyone have another link?

Upon taking office, Jackson had a delegation of bankers visit him in the Oval Office. After listening to them, he offered the following observation before evicting them from his presence:
"You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the eternal God, will rout you out."
y("If Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, then this right was given to be used by Congress, not be delegated to individuals or corporations."}y
"...I believe a national debt is a curse, my vow shall be to pay the national debt."
History records that President Jackson was/is the ONLY president in the entire history of America to reduce the federal debt to ZERO.

An AMD 2400+ CPU and 1gb of PC2100 ram is what I was thinking. It's $251 for both, which seems decent. Is there any reason I should go for better rated ram or such? I rarely upgrade (running a Celeron 700 right now), so getting better ram for a newer CPU doesn't seem to make much sense. NewEgg doesn't have the 2500+, so the next jump up is like $100 and therefore not really worth it. Oh, and this is all going in a Shuttle SN41G2 but that's a sure thing. It seems kind of funny to buy that much ram that I can't use in anything faster, but aside from that does anyone see any flaws in my logic?

those of you who got "the" file earlier have "M" and will probably need to upgrade to "N". There is a patch..but it's an FP exclusive thang. So you might need to get the whole thing again..not sure. If so:
