Millions Delete ALL Music Files?

Honig the Apothecary writes "CNN is reporting that millions of people have deleted all the music files from their computers in a story here. My question is how the hell would they know? Are they substituting "deleted" for the words "disabled sharing with other users"?"

    as if BBC America is something of a news source to be trusted... they are more biased than the Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC combined. At least these three are independent of government sponsorship (that we know of).

  4. Edwards, OpenSource, & Macs (From Campaign HQ) by AaronMyers · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I'm the Dir. of Internet Operations for John Edwards' presidential campaign. It's worth noting that we run our campaign blog on Apache on FreeBSD -- and the blog is actually powered by Slashcode!

    (If you cruise over to Larry Lessig's blog John Edwards is guest blogging on a variety of tech topics this week.)

    We use a handful of open-source tools here at Campaign HQ. Why? Cost and reliability. The same reason you guys choose this stuff.

    Oh... And our entire Web Team runs on Mac OS X. Contrary to one of the comments posted earlier, Senator Edwards made it clear during Tuesday's debate that he prefers his Mac.

    I hope you folks have a chance to learn more about John Edwards.

    dude, 1 oz is a lot...especially the shit i'm smoking.

    $315-$350?

    I'm smoking the good shit, too. But haven't bought an ounce since I quit selling. Its best to have less than 20 grams because greater than 20 grams is usually a higher criminal penalty than under 20 grams (in most U.S. states).

    1/2 oz = 14 grams
    1 oz = 28 grams

    The law does not distinguish between quality, so its best to buy a half ounce of the good shit for $165-175 if you can get that price. That much would last me 3-4 months with my current consumption rate.
