In theory, you're right, Semi, but RIAA has been known to issue take down notices without fully investigating whether the clip/file actually infringes on anything.
Take for example, the case of Penn State's professor Peter Usher, who got a nastygram because his server contains files with the combination of "usher" (well, naturally, since that's his last name) and mp3 (the file turns out to be an a capella song performed by astronomers about the Swift gamma ray satellite.)
The bad rep of RIAA is not my doing. They got that all by themselves.
The field of sensationalism is a particularly hard scientific discipline requiring years of training. Those crafty titles don't just write themselves, you know ;)
@Raul - Sorry about that! We used to ship to Mexico, but half of the shipments never arrive (and shipping replacements get really, really expensive), so we stopped shipping there. It's too bad, because we have quite a few good customers in Mexico.
@Frau - yes, Adam numbered his autographed plates. Now, who has the highest number? ;)
I had the same experience, a negative bill from MCI that for whatever reason managed to become a postive. So I ended up having a credit of $40, to owing $40. When I complained, they refunded me $40! Then I had to explain in great length why they still owe me another $40 ...
@seefish3 - Here's what I think are the translations:
SU ROOT = Superuser Root (Root account is a special admin account with all privileges)
UBR L33T = Uber Leet, with "leet" derived from "elite" status on Bulletin Board Systems before the Internet came into being.
I'm guessing on this one: CSS 503 = CSS is Cascading Style Sheet, a file that tells your browser how to render a webpage. 503 seems to be an HTTP error code (Service temporarily unavailable). CSS503 is also a Cisco Server Rack. I'm thinking this one plate isn't truly a custom plate ...
@geekazoid - bacon jellybeans! I love those things!
@Kyle Kriz - if you ordered two separate times, then they get packed and shipped separately. But if you order two items on a single order, you should've received them in the same shipment. Please email me and I'll take a look.
@barbara - yes, we do ship to the UK.
Given the backlash against the strawz last time, it seems that we've done a lot better on this Mystery Sale! And please check the book - they should all contain authentic autographed plates, signed by Adam Koford himself.
We've been around long enough to know that we win some, we lose some in terms of covering stuff. There's simply no way to be the first in covering things that happen on the Web. ')

@Him - you can view the solution to the first few levels ...
