From my friend:
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/05/02/1019441406441.html
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!

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.
