    Users couldn't figure out how to decrypt it until they figured out that the music was suppose to sound like that.

    ok, bad joke. I've got a bad case of the Mondays.

    Well if that happened, there would be no reason not to switch to Linux. People say they use Windows because it costs money and therefore has value, while Linux is given away and therefore is worthless.

    I was raised having to listen to bands like Nirvana (the only ones I liked), Pearl Jam, Silverchair, Thearpy?, NiN, Smashing Pumpkins and all that alternative/grunge (sorry if I do not know the *specific* genre) until I vomited because my older brother used to play it all day long. <sarcasm type="GoodNatured">Wow, you really had it rough --it's truly an inspiration to us all that you were able to overcome such a traumatic upbringing.</sarcasm>

    I was the first child in my household and the soundtrack was non-stop Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, and the Carpenters. I didn't even know how awful it was, until I was old enough to have friends with musical taste. I'm just damned lucky it didn't drive me to suicide.
