I remember Napster, when it was about taking down the web application. The application fell (temporarily), and then ten more took its place. And then the cycle continued, and a hundred more came along...
To make barfo happy... Here's a link: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE66O1P420100725 Talks about how Europe's economic outlook is becoming brighter while the US's fades. In a related story: http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/banking/2010-07-24-goldman-bailout-cash_N.htm Goldman Sachs reveals where all that bailout money it received (and a lot of money that funneled to it through AIG) went. To overseas banks. And in a third related story: http://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/0710/Dean_Fox_News_racist.html?showall# Howard Dean says Fox News is racist. I guess he's trying to distract you (and us all) from the more important and embarrassing news in the first two links.
Whoo hoo! Partaaaaaay! Wow, it's funny how we went from the end of the Euro a couple of weeks ago in Greece and Portugal to Super-Europe now. It's like the news writers can't agree on what the story is. barfo
Hey Denny, here's another great moneymaking opportunity for you to jump in on. First, you and I hire KingSpeed for peanuts. Get him on contract by not telling him how big this will be. The TV show will be named "Someone is after Denny Crane." With your money, my brains, and his looks, this can't fail. The story is, a retired starship commander supplements his giant government pension by moonlighting as a PI, reading message boards and suing them for plagiarism. He often goes undercover as a lounge lizard dilettante who posts conservative articles all day. Everyone thinks he's an idiot, but he's got them all fooled. He's really a Democrat. Besides, he sues members of his message board if they copy and paste his articles. I've almost written Episode 1. We are introduced to the regulars--his stacked secretary Della and his eager young buck investigator Paul. Denny never loses a case. A siren walks in with bedroom eyes and mournfully confides that her rich late husband ran away to Borneo after catching amnesia from Betty Crocker cake mix. (See, we're trying to build a female audience. The men will all watch, duh.) So Denny... Can you do your share in this partnership and finish the story?
http://chrkos.blogspot.com/2009/04/stanley-cup-trivia.html Stanley Cup Trivia Made a guest appearance on 'Boston Legal.' Denny Crane was trying to engrave his name on the Cup. He felt he deserved it because he helped the Bruins win the Cup by lending Bobby Orr his lucky jockstrap for the winning game. (Of course, it probably WASN'T the REAL Cup, but still...)
