New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves
floppy ears writes "Watch out for the new Anthony Hamilton CD, Coming From Where I'm From. The CD has two sets of tracks: one set of "encrypted" songs that can be handled by CD players but cannot be ripped, and a duplicate set of tracks in WMA format. In CD players, the disc plays normally (in theory). When put into a computer, the disc installs software to keep the music secure, but allows you to copy some or all of the Windows Media tracks to your hard drive. What a shame that I'm running Linux and my portable MP3 player doesn't support WMA."

Don't be a baby. You can play WMA files with MPlayer.

Vote Libertarian.
That would require Democrats and Republicans first understanding that Libertarians can promise both social justice and limited government without the internal conflicts of those parties.
Wouldn't it just be better and simpler to let the Republicans spy on us via the CIA/FBI and the Democrats to spy on us via universal health care, so we can be sure that the government will protect all our interests in a professional and efficient manner through the resulting well-informed policy making? They already manage our economy so well via the IRS that they surely deserve the opportunity and our support in these other agendas, er, I mean endeavors.
