    Hey! If they're likening their own activities to illegal p2p then they are basically saying that they themselves are doing something illegal.

    but it also protects its users from all kinds of stuff you really don't want to worry about on your PC.

    Like reliable computing?

    The way Apple has locked down the iPhone may look draconian, but it also protects its users from all kinds of stuff you really don't want to worry about on your phone.

    Like reliable reception?

    What the scientists have in their briefcases is terrifying. -- Nikita Khruschev

    I suppose they have information about cows pointing north. This is the sort of research that would make me want to become a scientist -- even though it might risk me being caught in Pokemon Red (fyi: my brother caught a scientist in pkmn red sometime nearer 1999).

    Of course I wouldn't buy the game if I didn't think it was worth it. But that would probably leave me not buying any games at all.

    parent said his 12000 flac files were about 300gb.
    if the vinyl2digital archives were in flac (all 4000) then he would have roughly 100gb ... 1/3 of the files, 1/3 of the storage space required.

    WTF! weirdness:

    I was going to do a retarded apt/yum package method but i couldn't think of it properly... weird things happened on the submit/preview/edit and I ended up with a load of junk.

    What I really wanted to say was:
    Mushrooms are yuk..

    The apt/yum thing is saying mushrooms are apt for some (meaning not yum).
