    As much as I want to respect the copyright on software, how can the average person who wants to fiddle with Photoshop afford $1000 for the program? Perhaps people would actually buy the software if companies started making prices more reasonable, and the licenses a little less restrictive (hint, hint MS)

    You may also want to add in some other adjectives such as handsome, funny, buff, great smile, etc...

    Examples:
    • Brilliant Handsome with Great Smile Inc.
    • Sincere Hilarious and Buff Inc.
    This could be the key to geeks getting the girls!

      I posted that while logged in... If Taco wants me to pay for this site, the login code should be fixed. If I'm paying for a login, I want to be logged in. I don't know it its a case of giving the wrong cookies, or the DB backend is being forgetful (that's what you get for running your business on MyISAM tables... if you're going to use MySQL, at least use InnoDB...), or what, but this needs to be fixed.

    I'm not. CD-R's, though, maybe. I've downloaded a fookload mp3s from www.emusic.com-- paid for and now mine legally. I'm not even sure I'll ever be able to listen to all of them. I also have about 300 CDs I've purchased in years past, plus vinyl and tapes. I don't think I have to leech from P2P or buy any new CDs for quite some time.

    "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the World" - John 4:14

    Hey! You like the bible, right? Can you tell me why Jesus has gotta curse fig trees? I mean, whats up with that?

    And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! - Matthew 21:19

    "And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it." - Mark 11:13

    Jesus! Dude! The time of the figs was not yet! It wasn't fig season! You can't just go around cursing fig trees because they don't produce figs off-season. It's just not nice.

    Also, by my source, you've got John 4:14 all wrong.
    Isn't it "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."? Thats what it says here at least. It must be tough being christian with so many different bibles to choose from.
