it's not my fault you don't know who the Baldwin Brothers are. Shall I name some other groups who's music was available for re-mix on AcidPlanet? I'm sure there's at least one or two you've heard of:
Alex Gordon / Anevis / Baldwin Brothers Remix / Beck Remix Contest / Becky Baeling / Berlin Remix Contest / Better Living Through Circuitry / Black Eyed Peas / Blue Man Group / Boz Scaggs / Bran Van 3000 / Brookville / Bumblebeez 81 / BWB / Caroline Lavelle / chainsaws.and.children / Charlie Louvin / Chemical Brothers / Cirrus / Cirrus 2 / D:FUSE / Daisy Rock / David Bowie / De La Soul / Debra Soule / Depeche Mode / Dierdre / Fiction Plane / Frou Frou / Gene Simmons / Geri King / Groove-a-licious / Hangmen3 / Harland / Herman Brood / Holmes Ives / Illegal Substance / ILONA! / Jackyl / John Oszajca / Joshua Redman / Jungle Brothers / Kelli Ali / Kenny Garrett / kidneythieves / La mezcla total! / Lenny Kravitz / Lil Jon / Lola Dutronic / Lounge / Low Frequency Occupation / Madonna / Mando Diao / Marillion / Meredith Monk / Mint Royale / New Order / Nuendo Music Group / Oleander / Panurge / PitchShifter / Plus 8 / Richard Humpty Vission / RoninRiders / Schneider TM / Serart / Seven Heads / Slum Village / Sonata 2:49 / sonicanimation / Soren LaRue / Static-X / Steve Tibbetts / Stockhausen / Take Out Music / The HERMIT / The Project / The Real Tuesday Weld / The Sea and Cake / Thump Radio / Thump Radio 2 / Tommy Lee / Toxic Grind / tweaker / tweaker 2 / Venus Hum / WB Old Kool ReMix / Wicked Beat Sound System

You're desparately grasping at straws trying to justify your mistaking beliefs. Just like Trent Reznor they were for just released or just about to be released tracks and were for promotion of the music itself.
Wrong!!!! Big name artists have been doing this for years. Over 7 to be exact on AcidPlanet.com. Depeche Mode, Baldwin Brothers,... there was at least one new aritst a month if not every 2 weeks. They don't appear to run the remix contests anymore but if you search for those aritst you'll find the remixes of their music still on the site.
I still have all the samples from the sample sets I downloaded.
>this is the first time such a project has been as open to the common user.
AcidPlanet.com has had remix contests of famous bands for the last 6-7 years! Including groups like Depeche Mode, Baldwin Brothers, Al Jarreau. I still have many of the sample sets they put up for download. They also have a free version of Acid for mixing them.
They used to put up a different artist's samples about once a month.
did you actually read the articles? People in news organizations are 5 time more likely to be left-leaning as they are right-leaning.
The information itself is not left or right but clearly all people put their own spin on things even if they try to be impartial. If there are 5 times as many left leaning people in the news as right then clearly the news is going to have a left bais.
The other articles go in to just how much of a left bias they have.
This is already available in Japan in 3 different forms.
The first was Edy by Sony(japanese). It was a card, you added money to the card. You can use it all around Tokyo. The second was JR's Suika card(japanese) (JR is the largest train company in Japan). First they used to as your train pass to make it even faster to go through the turn styles, then they started expanding it so you can make purchases.
Finally NTT teamed up with Edy (I think they teamed up) and now all NTT cell phones have the same chip(english, flash, click the "i-Mode FeliCa Debut!" link) in them so you can pass your cellphone near the censor instead of a card and you'll get build through the phone.
The cards basically need to be within like 1 mm of the sensor surface but they only need to be there for a spit second.
If you don't see the CNN is left leaning you it's only because you yourself are left leaning and therefore see it as centrist. This topic has been studied several times in several different ways and been proven that the news media is liberal baised

my time is worth far more to me than $20-$40 every 2 or 3 years for a quicken upgrade.
It's nice that you enjoy spending more time on your finances. I prefer to get them done as quick as possible and get back to other things I'd rather be doing.

Why I Love The GPL
·
· Score: 1
You're right, bad analogy.
Still, my point is the GPL is not charitible. Charties do not require the people they help to contribute back. The GPL does.
So, calling the GPL charitible IMO is also a flawed analogy.
You say you have to download your transaction. In Quicken I DON'T NEED THE EXTRA STEP. In fact I suspect for you it's more than one step, it's probably several. Download, save somewhere, launch extra finanical software, pick import, browse to file, click ok, etc. etc. etc.
In quicken, the steps that YOU use on the webpage (minus the login part since that's not required in quicken) are all that are required.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO MORE WORK THAN I HAVE TO JUST TO USE SOME OTHER SOFTWARE?
The GPL is like running a charity except when the poor come to get some food they have to sign a contract that says "In exchange for this food you promise to give all your food back to this food kitchen for the rest of your life".
Give me a break. Virtuous is giving it away with no restrictions and letting each individual choose for themselves whether or not to be equally generous and also who they want to do it.
Maybe in America but in Japan or at least Tokyo where people don't have space for both a TV and a computer, notebook PCs with MCE are being massively pushed.
Most people under 30 live in an apartment with less than 200sqft.
OSS is a choice, you are free to reject it without penalty. VS Communism is enforced by the barrel of a gun, dissidents get killed.
That depends on the license and the politics behind it. GNU, the GPL and the FSF's goal is to make OSS not a choice. See the original GNU Manifesto where RMS argues that the government should ban making money from software and should initiate a tax to pay for it.
From http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html
Won't everyone stop programming without a monetary incentive?
What the facts show is that people will program for reasons other than riches; but if given a chance to make a lot of money as well, they will come to expect and demand it. Low-paying organizations do poorly in competition with high-paying ones, but they do not have to do badly if the high-paying ones are banned.
Programmers need to make a living somehow.
All sorts of development can be funded with a Software Tax:
Suppose everyone who buys a computer has to pay x percent of the price as a software tax. The government gives this to an agency like the NSF to spend on software development.
But if the computer buyer makes a donation to software development himself, he can take a credit against the tax. He can donate to the project of his own choosing--often, chosen because he hopes to use the results when it is done. He can take a credit for any amount of donation up to the total tax he had to pay.
The total tax rate could be decided by a vote of the payers of the tax, weighted according to the amount they will be taxed on.
Unfortunately it won't work in the real world until we have replicators. In this world, programmers still have to find a means in eat. In the Star Trek world they don't.
Unfortunately Star Trek ignored one problem. Even if replicators make it so all basic needs are covered they don't say who get's the penthouse apartment or the beach front property so replicators will not remove the need for money.
Wrong. The day copyright is abolished is the day I don't have to release any source for anything I make from GPLed sources. While you will be able to copy the binary if I release it (and assuming you can break whatever DRM I use) I will not be required to give out the source.
That's not the case today. Because of copyright law I am required to give out the source

If the GPL wasn't so anal it wouldn't be a problem The problem is with the GPL not everything else.

You're desparately grasping at straws trying to justify your mistaking beliefs. Just like Trent Reznor they were for just released or just about to be released tracks and were for promotion of the music itself.
Wrong again. They are full unmixed tracks and loops direct from the studios.
For example the Depeche Mode "I Feel Loved" sample set has separate tracks for
Acoustic Guitar
Electric Drums
Lead Male Vocal
High Octive Background Vocals
Backing Vocals
Keyboard
Bass
Phased Percussion
Nord
Background Boom
Cowbell
Electic Kazoo
Mercury
Rain Stick
Reactor
Seed Pod
Shaker
Tamboreen
etc...
And each of those is broken in 2 to 8 loops.
The sample mix re-produces the original song mixing all those parts in realtime in Acid.

just because there are exceptions doesn't mean that in the general case the press is not liberally biased.
