Look at the bright side. If some mp3's fell out of the tubes they can nail the perps for the truly heinous crime of pirating music. Isn't that an automatic death sentence now?
Understood, but who cares? They're being anal-retentive bureaucratic a-holes and I hope the negative PR does them a buttload more damage that racketeering the little old horse lady into paying would ever bring them. She has a ton of choices, from bargain-bin CDs as stated by another poster, to indie music. These brainless, paper-pushing has-beens need to die. Much as I'd like it to be a slow painful one, we'd all be better served by a fast one. Just got the F away.
MegaCorps want to lock you into their crap so they have to do as little work as possible, take as much of your money as they can, giving you as little of what you want as possible. IOW they don't give a rats ass how easy anything is for you or what you want. Film at 2300.
If they don't want the exposure so be it. it's their music and careers. If they do but their label/producer/owner/baron/slave lord doesn't, again, so be it. Nobody forced you to sign that contract with the devil. Live with your choices. 99.9% of everything on YouTube is just like everything else on the InterTubeWeb.. noise, not signal. I hadn't heard of you or cared before. Now the chances that I will are nil. You got what you wanted and I won't be subjected to your over commercialized, over compressed, over marketed crap. Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
Ballmer said. 'The economy is helpful. Paying an extra $250 for software in this environment -- same functionality software -- paying $250 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be.'
There, fixed that for him.
You can screw with the environment until the whole planet is uninhabitable and the PLANET will still be here. I think we need to concentrate on maintaining an environment that our species can survive in long before we worry about "saving the planet." It will be here long after we've died off.
... a senator who actually checked facts on something before voting on it. And nobody coerced or bribed him into changing his vote?
Somebody down there needs to find out what's gone wrong with your political system.
the journal of the same Wall Street that said I was supposed to keep making a bunch of a-hole fat cats richer so that some scraps would trickle back down to me? Only to find that they're so damn greedy they ignored their own self interest and completely screwed the pooch with the economy? Yeah, I really give a fsck what that collection of self-serving greedy 'tards has to say. If I were them I'd start working on getting ANY credibility back. Until then I'm working under the assumption that anything they're saying or doing involves them retiring in the Bahamas nad me being bent over a table.
"Are any fanatics entirely sane?"
There, fixed that for you.
-noun
1. a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.
I never said they didn't have a goood/valid reason, in fact, I'm damn glad they did. However, they *have* focused on something else, even if the reason for it was forwarding their graphics agenda.:-)
Waaaa, waaaaa, the govenment, waaaaa.
Suck it up. TheGovernment, at least so far, was put there by you, me, and the asshole sitting next to you who wouldn't know a real issue from the drivel he was told to care about by Fox, CNN or his f'ing priest. Maybe if half as many of the proles who vote for American Idiot^h^h^hIdol would quit crying about TheGovernment and go f'ing vote for something that actually matters, we wouldn't be in this hole.
Next time you want to whine about TheGovernment, I suggest you look in the mirror and/or at the asshole sitting in the cube next to you at work. This mess is collectively Our fault.
At least (about) 50% of those f'ing democrats voted against it. That's a shitpot more than the f'ing republicans who voted against it (1 and a handful of chickenshits who didn't vote).

A nice house in the Bahamas, a Porsche in the garage and a nice retirement pension to me.
Now picture a future where your entire business was running on the just seized "cloud" .. remind me again how this is a good idea.

You figure out the why.

.. when are they going to apologize for the 30 seconds of Super Bowl that interrupted my pr0n?
... penis replacement candidates already know. The rest of us don't care.
.. it couldn't have been greed or incompetence. The dog ate their homework and the check's in the mail.

See what happened when they tested theirs at full power!
I never said they didn't have a goood/valid reason, in fact, I'm damn glad they did. However, they *have* focused on something else, even if the reason for it was forwarding their graphics agenda. :-)
I welcome our planetary mass comet overlords!
Yeah, they've stayed focused on graphics chips, that's why there are so many motherboards with nVidia chip sets .. *sigh*

If they did this to me the motherfcuker would need major surgery to remove my laptop from his ass.
