Why would America Off-line be in France?  Shouldn't it be FOL?

[Taristin]

Venom... I feel for you.

In Crapsville, FL, we do not have anything else but AOL either. Unless you want to pay $100 for a satelite guy to hook it up to DirecTV, and another 100 a month for service...


me = broke

Unfortunatly, its gone international, and is now, i fear, unstopable.  In less than a year farmers in ethiopia will be prevented from planting seeds becuase the name of the plant has an X in it.

Listen to me! There's no way we can stop them this time! Shut down your service before it's too late! There's something out there, Venom! Please!

"Dr. Zero, come in!"

"Dr, Zero, respond!"

"All Forumites, disregard that transmission..."

That's really freaky!

Here in Ireland I have the choice of a half dozen free ISP's, another half dozen subscription ISP's and about 4 different broadband capable ISP's. The computer market here is thriving though. I can freely spit on AOL CD's and trash them without a second thought, other than the ridiculous amount of resources they waste sending CD's out to people.

I also actively tell anyone new to the internet that AOL is crap.
The battle continues.

I use AOL CDs to make pen holders. For one pen.

They are suprisingly stable in the air if thrown.

Nope, WB is owned by the AOL-Time Warner conglomerate. There was one artivle I read, it was a humor article about when Ted Williams in de-thawed, it had something like AOL-Time Warner-Enron-Martha Stewart-Arthur Andersen Media Conglomerate. Really funny article. But anyway...

I used to use AOHell. Then I switched to the $10 a month local service and had my connection speed increase by 50%.

I collect all the free CDs I get in the mail; I currently have about 60 or so, and over half of them are AOL CDs.

They make good coasters.

try throwing one... no matter how hard i try they always start out horizontal, but end up vertical

CP, what's the mathematical explanation for this?


you could make a long string of them, like find a piece of conduit (probably half inch or even 3/4 inch) and thread them on, then like grind them into some weapon or somethind

Aol CDs make very good frisbees.

Frisbees stay level (usually) because of the ridge along the edge - it traps a pocket of air underneath the frisbee, and when the frisbee tilts in any given direction, air escapes from that side and "pulls" that side down, thus maintaining balance.

I think.

You know too much about frisbees for your own good...

Really? For me they always land horizontally unless I specifically throw them at a vertical or near-vertical angle. I'm no physicist, but I think Sandwich got it about right (for the horizontal case): since objects have a tendency to maintain the position closest to the equilibrium position, and banking in either direction would displace some air, which would require an additional force, they retain their orientation.

[vyper]

I want a frisbee now!

[CP5670]

Are you implying that you don't already have at least ten of those free AOL CDs? I get one in the mail just about every other week.
