Re:another ripoff

On: Microsoft Tracks Down Mass Fake Web Pages

The report is available at Microsoft Strider Search Ranger project page.

Man. This Microsoft project is just a ripoff of Google's Gandalf Search Wizard project...

Yeah, but let's not forget that even before that was AOL's Smeagol Browser Gollum project

When I was a kid, all we had was the U of Minnesota's Sauron Gopher Overlord project...

You had Gopher as a kid!? Man, we were stuck with local BBS Sam & Frodo's ASCII Express Second Breakfast project.

I'll never claim that I wasn't stupid.

I wouldn't say you're stupid. Perhaps you "exhibited a foolish action". <g>

But seriously, glad to hear this is behind you.

Re:Time to put your money where your mouth is

On: Puretracks Music Store Drops DRM

I don't really remember buying a CD... ever.
Tapes and stuff were old before I was shopping for music.

Which is the lie? Or are you referring to window-shopping?

As long as there is one source, somewhere on the planet, that has it unprotected then DRM has no impact on me.

Assumedly it would be harder to find the unprotected version if there were only one source that had it, somewhere on the planet. Making more work for you to find the song would be the impact DRM would be having on you. The fear of people who, like yourself, flaunt their sense of entitlement by serving files they have no legal right to is one of the reasons labels mandate DRM. So you, young man, are your own problem.
