Is there any relationship to the RIAA's decision to go after stupid folks using Kazaa and eDonkey vs many of the other folks with exponentially more material gathered from other 'questionable sources' on the web that might require more 'web savvy'? Seems natural that preditors would target the slow and stupid first.
Actually, the PicAxe _is_ a 're-packaged' Microchip PIC that has been pre-programmed with onboard boot code, token based interpreter and other resources to make use of the proprietary PicAxe programming environment. They are fairly popular among the beginner uc crowd, especially as a cheaper alternative to Basic Stamps.
Don't forget the music industries 'other' DRM (Dumb Retarded Music) when mentioning falling sales figures. I just read an AP piece that says Rap & Hiphop has fallen 21% because much of the music is percieved as 'too negative' (aka just plain sucks).

I'm curious what kind of excessive bullying problem they are experiencing in Kentucky... Is Al Sharpton trolling the kkk sites?

Do you expect retailers (of any nature) to experience a sudden influx of moral conscience?
They don't give you a choice. If you need a new pc, Vista is your only MS option.
Yeah, just like bad gangsta rap and buzz-bomb mufflers on a Kia. Nothing to be proud of I'm afraid.
The irony is these kids think they are sooo 1337, yet they have no clue what's really going on. Personally, I like it that way ;-)
Bah. Torrents are only good for wannabees and virals anyway. Just make sure your isp has your mums contact info correct for the riaa.
