    For the love of God, think of those of us who're at the office on christmas and post some interesting news.

    Please. :(

    Some fantasticly exagerated article about black holes eating our galaxy.

    Some horror story about RIAA invading a country with its armed forces and cutting the prisoners' lips so they can't whistle while they build a bridge.

    Something about gamer girls who play DF on their home made portable on the way to their modelling job.

    Anything.

    P.S.: Yes I have massive karma to burn offtopic. Hear teh plead of a desperate man.

      You fixed an issue that wasn't an initial requirement, you must be a programmer...

    Maybe the next deal, Warner could, you know, sign artists that can sing or compose their own music? Then they could stop using the excuse of piracy for their falling sales of music and films. If you think this is a troll post, just listen or watch what passes for "modern" music or films.

    What's composition or vocal ability have to do with pop music? Pop has always been about the flash and the tits and the swiveling hips and the costumes and the post-production, since the dawn of the Rock-n-Roll era. Why does this bother anyone? Don't like it, there's a hundred other genres, and now, with the Internet, a fan can actually *find* these other genres and not piss and moan about how e-e-e-e-vil over-the-air radio doesn't play anything other than pop.

    I grew up with the British Invasion: One-Hit-Wonder Boy Groups with Liverpudlian accents who dressed like mid-shipmen in a Horatio Hornblower movie. I -- and the rest of civilization -- survived just fine, thanks for asking.
