    Hopefully AG will take a cue from Kazaa, go out of bussiness, and have another company (such as Sound Universe) located on an obscure Pacific Island with no extradition treaty take over the task of managing the central server and the distribution of the client....

  4. kuro5hin: home of the Ultra Liberal by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny
    You can safely ignore anything kuro5hin has to say. It is the home of "Hillary for President" and the "Al Gore Fan Club". It is so left wing that it make communists look like Rush Limbaugh.

    No orginal thought on kuro5hin, just regurgitated leftism as learned at the unwashed feet of Mr. Randy, their gay 10th grade civics teacher. It is a place where cop killer Mumia is king, and ordinary decent hard working people are dissed.

    well in high school, i hung around the computer lab after word processing class and helped shut down all the PC's for the day. after HS, when I worked at Taco Bell, the POS units were windows based and i would reboot them when they hung or blue screened. so i'm not completely clueless, asshole.

    Odd, I didn't catch that in the obituaries.

    That's because they are not listed in the obituaries...they are buried in a small mass grave just outside of town.
    The bottom of the tombstone inscription reads:
    R.I.[A.A.]P.

    Yeah, I really don't want to spend 18-20 bucks on a CD if I just like one song. What if there's not a single available? I support the bands I like, I buy their CD's, go to shows, etc. . .
    Is it stealing? Probably. But as the other posters pointed out, it's only stealing 10% from recording artists and 90% from Music Companies, and if you ask me, they deserve the shaft for what they've done to radio.

  10. Fun with word wrapping... by Enry · · Score: 4, Funny

    What I miss is the "bright" and "young" aspect. The Silicon Valley of 2002 seems to have gotten a lot older. It makes sense -- most of the young people like myself moved out when they got laid Found something more interesting than coding, eh?
