Ebay vs. Musician
evenprime writes "Ebay's Verified Rights Owner Program was designed to make sure the auction site doesn't let people
sell things that violate copyright laws. Unfortunately, over-zealous ebay employees have been causing problems for independent musicians. George Ziemann has a detailed
account of the difficulties he's faced when trying to sell copies of his CD on the auction site. Apparently ebay kept pulling his ads simply because he was selling a product recorded to CD-R!
Ebay employees assume that all audio recordings on CD-R are the result of piracy, despite the fact that many indie bands burn their own music to CD-R to sell it. Wired has a nice summary of this story."
I bet white people are pretty happy the sniper gang is black
I mean, you guys already got Kaczynski, McVeigh, Gacy, Dahmer

Dammed, it took me now only 2 posts to become a troll. I really screwed up, regards
Did Alanis Morresette teach you the English language
Should that not be "ded Alanes Morresette teach you spelleng?"
I've always wondered if she made that song deliberately containing no irony, therefore making the song itself ironic; or if she had no idea what she was doing, and was actually entirely mistaken, but still making the whole thing ironic, which makes the entire situation meta-ironic.
Ugh.. it's still too early in the morning...

Why the fuck is this offtopic nappy wetting getting Insightful?
The parent post is flamebait. It nearly melted my monitor.
upon the painful discovery that he had become one of THEM, the NANOJATH had no choice but to adopt the shameful name of Anonymn Trismegistus, to switch his email to a lowly Hotmail account, to deliver his SIG unto Gormenghast, to hang it up, sign off, and generally pack it in. May the flamebaiters, the trolls, the goatses, and the rest of the vile crowd I have become sadly one of storm my account and reduce my karma to the state that it deserves.
The nickname is nanojath, the passoword is wampetus. Have at it.
No one reads their damn email these days!!
I can't count the number of times I send someone a question about something and I never hear a response back from them. Like it vanished into thin air.
Or sometimes I'll email someone and ask them 2 or 3 questions (like this guy did w/ ebay) and they'll read the first one, respond, and ignore everything else I say.
This happens with big businesses like ebay, and personal communications with people.
Owner: Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!
Homer: [worried] Ooooh, that's bad.
Owner: But it comes with a free Frogurt!
Homer: [relieved] That's good.
Owner: The Frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: [worried] That's bad.
Owner: But you get your choice of topping!
Homer: [relieved] That's good.
Owner: The toppings contains Potassium Benzoate.
Homer: [stares]
Owner: That's bad.
