P2P File Swapping on the Rise Again?
asdf 101 writes "News.com reports today that 'After six months of declines, peer-to-peer usage recently climbed 14 percent.' Their bottomline: 'The decline came as the RIAA launched more than 300 lawsuits against file swappers. The reversal cast doubts on the music industry's claims that its lawsuits are working to deter people from illegally downloading music files.' I guess wake_up_and_smell_the_coffee time just gets that much more imminent for all the hacks at RIAA." There's also an AP story, and you might want to review this story from just a few weeks ago that has different conclusions.
I wish there was a way for me, as a Christian, as a human being, to sit down with some of you and have a pleasant, civil discussion without bitterness or sarcasm. I don't force people to believe what I believe. I don't mock others with different beliefs. I hope I can find the words to explain myself, as my life goes on. I hope I can help people to see.

Now how about some important news. Like the fact that GOATSE.cx (you know, that guy with that butt) has been KNOCKED OFF THE INTERNET!
This is NOT offtopic, troll, flamebait. It is very informative! Go to goatse.cx (no hyperlink for obvious reasons) and see that ITS GONE!
SAVE GOATSE.cx!
Use 25 pounds each of lean beef and pork, 12 lbs. of fat cut fine, and 8
lbs. of fat cut into small dice, 2 1/2 lbs. salt, 30 grams powdered saltpeter,
70 grams powdered sugar, 85 grams ground white pepper. Remove all sinews, then
chop the beef and pork together; when about half chopped, add the 12 lbs. of fat
and finish by chopping all fine, adding the seasonings toward the finish; then
work in thoroughly the 8 pounds of fat cut in small dice. When well mixed the
whole mass should be packed tightly in a wooden trough for 24 hours so as to
allow the saltpeter to effect its color and also render the mass more firm. The
meat is then placed into the sausage filler, and filled into beef casings AS
TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE. The tighter the skin is filled, the better the sausage will
be for cutting when dried. When the casings are filled, they should be laid
in a pickling tub and lightly covered with coarse salt, place a board on top and
let them remain till the salt has turned into pickle, then lift them out and
hang in the air until ALL moisture has run off the. When dry, they should be
smoked in cold smoke until they are a rich dark brown in color. The sausage is
then ready for eating, and will keep for several months. Length, about 18 inches.

Jeez, c'mon Mods! It's Saturday night, at least give 'em a (Score:1 FUNNY)!
Buncha pantywaist liberal faggots....
MOD PARENT UP!!!!! He makes an excellent point that the article fails to make
This a bit off-topic, but related to the parent reply. Are there any good players in Linux and MacOSX? I don't mean XMMS because its engine sucks for MOD, S3M, 669, etc.
:)
I use ModPlug Player in Windows. It has all sorts of goodies. It even clears up some of the old tunes even for a three years old player! I wished Winamp and XMMS used this player for the plugin.
Here is my favorite tunes in my collection.

My post, on the other hand, is off-topic. But, I have karma to burn!!!
All your favorite sites in one place!
There's always the secondary purpose of modding down trolls. Oh wait, that would be every ./ article.
