From my friend:

If this BBS software had "stickies", could we have a sticky thread for stray items such as this?

There are US Ships bound for Hobart soon I think. The brothels are looking to recruit sex workers from Victoria and New South Wales to cope with the demand.
The Madame was interviewed on radio and said that she also needed the time off to do some house work and make the place look less like ... well ... a brothel.

I never tire of translation software and the amusement it brings

The new copy protection mechanisms on audio CDs prevent users to put on itself for the privatgebrauch a copy. CHIP reader Karl enriches sent us to this topic just as ingenious as simple taps: A Fitzelchen post office It adhesive on the correct place that CD, can make the annoying copy protection ineffective.

This link still works :

http://www.teamdamn.com/misc/ROFL.STARWARS.NERDS.wmv

It's the same movie, but in .WMV format. The quality isn't as good (but still acceptable), but the movie is "only" 18 MB too. Grab it now!

(recycling the thread yet again)

This "Troops" video may have already made the rounds....but...I couldn't help myself.
Posted by: tfabris

Re: Link O' The Day - 28/05/2002 17:31

Yeah "Troops" is the business. Don't think it made the rounds on this BBS yet, but I think just about everyone on the planet has seen it by now. I still love it.

It wuz the [not telling] cameo what got me. Otherwise, not having seen EP1/2, I probably missed some things -- and I'm like *way* behind on SW-related media. Any reedit of EP2 yet??.
