Yes.

Thanks ;)

According to the weblogs, which logged your IP and credit card number,
your user agent was "Java/1.6.0_02", which was 403'd because "User-Agent
was found on blacklist". I could change that, but I'm not going to :-P

Futurism rarely produces accurate predictions (I'm still waiting for my
flying Delorean time machine). One thing I notice about many a kitsch
Sci-Fi movie, is the proliferation and quality of video communications
across entire galaxies (in some cases). Glorious Technicolor hi-def
images flying around the universe, in some yesteryear vision of the
future, and yet here we are ... in that future, and the best I can get
is a pokey little flv over GooTube.
I'm going to start a class action against Flash Gordon.
