Thanks for the link. I am queing them up for the kids (I am not allowed to show them militant Dawkins).

What amazes me is how little revision is needed for a series from the late '70's. Good stuff.

Dude the movie is all about ARGs and fan incubation. :P

Great Podcast...I would stick to "issues" and avoid "people" who are trying to get attention. It is tempting but why bother?

Re: Is the NY State Affiliate Tax That Big of Deal?

"I would venture to say that at least 75% of the people doing affiliate marketing don’t even know they are doing affiliate marketing."

True. Having dealt with government on many different levels, I think it is a big deal. Government interference (I am laize faire) can hinder and when it comes to technology you can forget legislation being able to keep pace- especially in the era we are entering- quantum computing, AI, etc.

What is the downside? Performance marketing is a great way for small, niche creators to monetize their real estate or for small, niche merchants to sell and expand. Taxes like this create undue burdens.

Why is small good? Diversity. Diversity. Diversity and innovation.

Imagine a world with a monopoly controling the operating system...oh wait...imagine MSFT getting into the loyalty game....oh wait....

Peter I think the PMA is one of the better efforts I have seen to move the industry onward and upward and after 10 years I have seen about every attempt. I think it is a good place to start- I intend to get behind it full force and measure.

That is why I do it in Second Life. I hate anything over 3 meters.

Ha... I think the closest I'd ever get to sky diving would be the indoor place they have nearby that just blows air up at you and simulates it... I'd much rather fall 10 feet than 10,000 should something go wrong ;)

Why I prefer Sky Diving in Second Life :)
Nice quote.

keys are great, in my opinion. the keyboard is, of course, smaller and takes some adjustment... but the responsiveness and feel is worth the 20 mins of making sure your fingers are in the right places.

"And if my wife, sister, or daughter would have been one of these girls there would have been a massive problem."

a) If it would have been any lady in particular there would have been a problem. Indicative of the "if it effects me" mentality.

b) I guess I am on another Planet, I wasn't aware of this type of tripe posting, and having spent a long time pursuing some of the more unsavory elements, and I do mean unsavory, - I simply fail to grep this entirely.

c) I wouldn't even jest about things like this.
