americans mostly use a different definition for "liberal" then the "principles that the United States was founded on". hence the phrase "classical liberal".
frankly, being a "liberal", in the sense that most americans use it, should be an insult.:P
They're only going after people who share songs. So don't share anything, just download. "Leech", if you will.
I've been doing this ever since Napster caved to Lars' demands and banned my username for sharing a Metallica song. (Seems like ages ago.) Before that, I was all for 'helping the community' and all that, sharing everything I had. After that, fuck 'em. There's enough other people who will still be sharing.
Of course if *everyone* stopped sharing, it wouldn't work. But don't worry, not everyone will. There will always be someone else.
Well, there will always be someone else until the RIAA sues them all out of existence. But it won't be you. Self preservation, right?
everyone who trades live shows of the artists I listen to uses SHN, period. as with "Ogg Vorbis" (that's the name, right?), the only place I've ever heard of FLAC is on Slashdot.
basically, I'm saying "pfft" at your silly audio formats that nobody uses.:P
Ahh. It's good to have an enemy to hate, isn't it? We can't send blacks to the back of the bus anymore, but we sure can burn SUV owners at the stake. Life is good.
You can't choose to be black.
You can choose whether or not you buy a 40-rods-to-the-hogshead tank, though.
Not even remotely comparable, but thanks for playing anyway.
Hi, I'm Blimey85. I used to buy cars, and at several thousand dollars each, when I could only drive them for a few years, it was just getting to be too much money. So after seeing Gone in 60 Seconds, now I just steal cars! I save a couple grand a year at least, and if I don't like the car, I can just dump it somewhere and steal a different one!
I remember that, I was very excited about it, I never got into the MMORPGs, but I would have loved that one.
But this new one will probably be just the same as all the others. Too bad. Plus in the intervening years I've decided that online gamers are, as a whole, too stupid and annoying to ever get a good MMORPG to work. So I probably won't do this one either.
What the hell? I'm a college student too, and it's a lot *easier* to do absantee ballots. You don't even have to *go* anywhere, they send you the form in the mail, you can fill it out whenever you want, and send it back. If you were at home, you have to take time out sometime from 9-5 and go someplace specific. Give me the mail in votes any day.

Everyone knows that only terrorists would want to leave the USA. You're not a terrorist, are you?
Which, of course, begs the question, why have the stupid restriction in the first place?
ARGH. Please learn what phrases mean before you use them. It may "raise the question", but it certainly does not "beg the question".

"Even Pac-Man glorifies cannibalism and aberrant spiritually by depicting the consumption of the undead."

don't remember where that quote came from, but i thought of it when you mentioned pacman being violent.
buy several refridgerators/freezers, and leave the doors open!
IE5+ has too limited an audience to bother with, but Mozilla with SVG is worth the effort?!
You sir, are incapable of consistant thought.
And you seem to be incapable of any thought at all.
Maybe you need this spoon fed to you.
VML = only on IE5+
SVG = on any browser with a plugin.
Let's try that one again, just in case your brain hasn't quite wrapped itself around it.
VML = not everyone.
SVG = everyone.
Get it yet?
And I'd call *you* a monkey now, but that'd be an insult to many intelligent monkeys out there.
Um, I like VW and Apple, and no way am I "left" or "liberal".
I think you should put down the crackpipe.

The little known (at least to Slashdot) downside of having a girlfriend, the f'in reality shows
Ugh, tell me about it. I'm still trying to repress the memories of "The Bachelorette", 6 months or so later.
I mean, I tore that sucker off as soon as it made it in my house...
You're allowed to. It's the people selling you the mattress that aren't allowed to remove it.

I can buy an Xbox or PS2 already, and they provide better gaming experiences.
;)
:) )
Or you could buy a Gamecube, and it would provide a better gaming experience then either of those.
(I know, I know, different strokes and all that.
Though I'll more or less stick with my computer... you won't be seeing the next Warcraft III or Rise of Nations on a console any time soon.

I have a joke for everyone:
Acclaim.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
True, their newer albums aren't quite as good as the ones from the 70's and 80's
Eh, _Vapor Trails_ is one of my favorite Rush albums, I would put it ahead of all the 70s stuff.
That's assuming Permenant Waves came out in the 80s. I think it did. It might have been 79.
Okay, so I'd put VT ahead of everything they did pre-PeW. *shrug*
Not the most accurate submarine sim ever, but sooo much fun. Granted, the whole 'Soviet Union' thing is a bit outdated now, but that's okay.

Aren't I 1337? Stick it to The Man!
Just like since we pay for cable, there are no commercials!
Oh wait.
If they do that, no way are they going to reduce ticket prices, they'll just stick the commercials in and make more money for themselves.
Fine, send me all your coins, plus $100, and I'll take care of it for you.
Tengwar is the alphabet.. you don't speak it, you write it.
You can write anything in Tengwar... even English.. but the two main Elvish languages are Quenya and Sindarin.

Can I pay $20 more to not get the crappy third film?
;)
You misspelled "second" there...
You misspelled "lazy" in your subject.
I'm not being insulting, but it's my experience that whenever people say they're too "busy", it just means they don't want to put in the effort.
Which is fine, I still use QWERTY, I don't really want to put in the effort to learn Dvorak either. But you should at least admit to the real reason.

Well, here's Exhibit A of why online voting is a bad idea.
