Megaman 3 - 6 Level Formats
Notes on how levels are built up in megaman 3-6, offsets for level data in each game, and some other data. Previously included with MegaFLE. Might be revisited sometime.
Bionic Commando ROM Offsets
A collection of level data offsets, asm offsets, and other notes on Bionic Commando. It's previous released somewhere, but this one is updated and improved.
Bionic Commando Reassemblable
Plans on a "source code" version of Bionic Commando, so one can recode the game in nes development form! You get the idea. How im doing this is by my own disassembler, and putting data into include files. Not aviable until i've worked out the whole rom, and gotten my disassembler to spit out good stuff.

savethemales.ca - The Judeo Masonic Roots of Modern "Culture": "True culture is based on refining our animal instincts in terms of our spirituals ideals (like truth, justice, goodness and beauty.) Modern anti culture is based on demoralizing and destroying society by disparaging these ideals."

BW Online | May 3, 2004 | Google's Gmail Is Great -- But Not For Privacy
BW Online | May 3, 2004 | Google's Gmail Is Great -- But Not For Privacy: "Gmail looks to be the most usable Web mail service I have tried. But it does accentuate the privacy issues that have always surrounded Web mail, especially considering, as Brin reminds people, that 'the political climate does fluctuate.' It could be a good choice when it becomes available later this year, but you should be aware of the risks."
Haaretz - Israel News - Agog over Gmail
Haaretz - Israel News - Agog over Gmail: "But not all is rosy. An attempt to send a message in Hebrew to an Outlook Express user was received on the other end as a series of squares. And a message containing a picture, sent from an Outlook Express account to the Gmail account, came in as a collection of ASCII letters. As if that isn't enough, when a Word document was added to a Gmail message and sent to an Outlook Express account, it came in as an unidentified file that could be opened by the Microsoft Notepad program, and was full of gibberish.

Marc's Outlook on Productivity
Marc's Outlook on Productivity: "I listen to the Wall St. Journal every morning on Audible.com. Thursdays are one of my favorite days because I get to hear Walt Mossberg's Personal Technology column. Regular readers know I think Mossberg is one of the best writers we have on technology and how it impacts our everyday life.
Today, he weighs in with the opinion that GMail, Google's new ad-supported e-mail offering (still in beta), is 'a little creepy' and may infringe on consumers' privacy or be misused by Google and/or the government sometime in the future. These are not new observations and my point here is not to debate the merits of this opinion.
What I found interesting, and indicative of why Mossberg has become the dean of tech writers, is the spin he puts on his analysis. Rather than calling for the immediate death of GMail, he suggests instead that Google offer GMail without ads on a subscription basis to provide consumers with the choice of whether their incoming mail is scanned to display relevant advertising messages. What a brilliant alternative to the draconian fear-mongering some privacy advocates and misguided legislators have been guilty of!
Good call, Walt."

Marc's Outlook on Productivity
Marc's Outlook on Productivity: "Another freeware gem found via Lockergnomes: Starter. This very nicely designed freeware tool displays all startup items on your system, broken down by where they 'live' - Registry, Startup Items folder, or win.ini file and allows you to turn unnecessary items off. While it doesn't display any information about the items like The Ultimate Troubleshooter I wrote about a while back, if you know what you're doing, the price is right."

Fool.com: The 6% Solution [Motley Fool Take] April 15, 2004
Fool.com: The 6% Solution [Motley Fool Take] April 15, 2004: "Imagine that you and the seller agree on the price of the house at, say, $200,000. You then ask the seller for a 6% seller concession. What this means is that you add (up to) 6% to the price of the house. That's right, you're now going to pay $212,000 for that house -- but the seller is going to give you that $12,000 back when the sale takes place. You're going to use that money to cover all of your closing costs."
If we pretend for a moment that those costs add up to precisely $12,000, then what you've done is folded those closing costs into the mortgage. Points, title search, recordation fees, and all other closing costs -- most of which are not tax-deductible -- have effectively been included in your mortgage. Since your mortgage interest is tax-deductible, these costs have effectively become tax write-offs.
In addition, you don't have to come up with all that extra cash at settlement. Your down payment will be somewhat higher (if you're putting down 20%, then in the current example your down payment would be $42,400, versus $40,000) and, of course, your mortgage payments will be higher, but it ends up saving you money.
The seller has no reason to refuse this -- after all, the agreed-to price is still the same.
The catch with the 6% solution is that the house has to appraise for the higher value. If the appraiser comes back and tells you that this house won't appraise for more than $200,000, you can't do it.
Let's look into this a little further. Say you buy the house for $200,000. Your $40,000 down payment leaves you needing a $160,000 mortgage. You get a 30-year loan at 8%. Your monthly payments for principal and interest are $1,174.
Now, say you decide to use the 6% seller concession strategy. You buy this house for the price of $212,000. You put down 20%, and this leaves you needing a $169,600 mortgage. Your monthly payments will be $1,244, or $70 more per month. Is it worth it?
To begin with, many people aren't going to feel an enormous pinch paying the extra $70 per month -- not nearly as much as they would feel having to fork out an extra $12,000 all at once to cover closing costs. But, what about the fact that now you have to pay this extra money over the course of 30 years? Well, over the course of 30 years, you're paying $25,200 more for that extra $12,000 ($70 more per month x 12 months in a year x 30 years = $25,200).
However, remember that's $12,000 less out of your pocket at the time of closing. If you take $12,000 and invest it at 10% (less than the market average has returned over the past 35 years), then your money will grow to more than $200,000 (before taxes) at the end of 30 years. So, in this scenario, it can be well worth it.
Naturally, you'll want to run the numbers for your particular loan to see whether it would be worth it for you.

Fool.com: Is Whole Foods Overvalued? [Commentary] April 15, 2004
Fool.com: Is Whole Foods Overvalued? [Commentary] April 15, 2004: "One analysis of Whole Foods
Some quick analysis of Whole Foods' financial statements provides us with the pieces needed for the discounted cash flow analysis. The company's fundamental business model is pretty clear: It finances growth in stores from the cash flow that it generates. In the last five years, cumulative cash flow from operations has been $923 million. In the same time period, Whole Foods used $877 million to develop new stores, acquire other companies, and upgrade existing stores. The store count has increased from 87 in the beginning of 1999 to 146 today, and square footage has more than doubled from 2.1 million to 4.6 million.
Since 1999, the company has grown sales from $1.5 billion to $3.1 billion, a 16% annual growth rate. Indicating that it has ample cash to fuel the growth of its business, it just initiated a small dividend last year. At $0.60 per share for a total of just over $35 million per year, the dividend is not a significant factor in its valuation, but it does indicate that management feels the operating cash flow is more than enough to fund growth"
