If I remember correctly, in October of 98, Apple had an anti-trust case filed against them because DRM used to limit music to only be played on their own products. This, along with other acts in legislature were filed according to copyright and media rights made them miraculously change their tone and say, "DRM IS BAD".
I don't know how anyone can argue that a company wasn't for DRM when they basically founded it to build on their own product sales... then take it away after everyone hated it. For Christ sakes, they STARTED with it thinking it would be a good idea, then it wasn't. SO, NOW everyone says they were always against it.
Call me crazy... but, I'm pretty sure it was their idea to use it with ipods in the first place.
All the little subconsious snippets that we've gathered from other failed relationships, tend to give you that uneasy feeling that something bad is going on. You may not be able to pick out exactly what it was... but it's just the way she's acting (outside of the norm) that makes your mind say, "wait... I know this intuition... and it's not good."
I've been there before and KNOW what you mean. Even when you know the feeling, and you know that something is going on.... they still deny it with no reassurance. One ends up in a downward spiral of disbelief, distrust and lack of confidence.... either way, they'll end up leaving you over: A. Acting paranoid and accusing them of cheating; or B. You letting it go and losing them to what you feared was true (in this case, the intuition of cheating).
But, of course, most women would rather call it rhetoric.. rather than psychology.
But, even when stress of everyday life hits you, be it children.. work.. school.. household issues and other things that build up, bumps in the road lead to unneeded paranoia in some cases.
Even if it's miscommunication, there are lots of reasons that people take those steps.
My wife and I had arguments over little household spats and daily stress with the kids. Little did I know, post-partum depression can last over a year after having a child. Everything was REALLY fucked up and I couldn't figure out why. I started seeing if she was talking to someone else or something along those lines.
The relationship wasn't "Dead" by any means, but when people are twisted over miscommunication and only have so many places to turn for information, they take different measures for reassurance.
In other thoughts... if you haven't got anything to hide, then you haven't got anything to worry about. So, you're at least half right.
Those years were somewhat of a blur. I think I was probably somewhere drunk in college having sex with other college girls. DRM and Jobs was far from my mind.
If most spouses were savvy enough to call up sites and ask for information on their significant other, they probably would have caught them previously in some way, shape or form.
Chat logs, history and everything else, show quite a bit of information for any computer-literate person to evaluate.
Not only that, but I'm sure that anyone smart enough to hide everything and cover their trail, wouldn't leave personal information for their spouse to find.
It wasn't until 1997 that Apple hinted of getting rid of their DRM encoded files. This was after hundreds of thousands complained about Microsofts DRM infection. After that point, they tried everything they could to get away from it, considering Microsoft had just spread it into every oriface of it's OS and couldn't exactly back out.
Apple didn't hate music DRM until everyone complained about Microsoft's DRM. In fact, they had plans to do it themselves. Then they said it was bad after all the bad comments about it.
They need to start manufacturing this shit for everyday life for different applications. I'm sure a lot of people would agree when I say that it'd be a nice alternative to plug into a computer than be denied by your wife when you ask for another blowjob.
It's not even about science. They simply misspelled "Hicks". They actually meant that Taylor Hicks from American idol was never heard from again, rather than the search of Higgs. It's pretty simple if you think about it.
The parallelism of the Compiler Fortran and Professional Edition of the uranium core both sport improved auto-vectorizationalism of the fortran and format that can target Intel's new SSE4 extensionalism. For thread-level parallelismisitic quantum theory, the compilers support the use of Intel's Threadtastic Building Block nationalism for objectionism for automatic thread-level optimizationalism that takes place simultaneously with auto-vectorization of parellel universes... Intel is encouraging the widespread use of its Intel Threading quantum physics parallel vectorizationistic Tools as an interface on the enterprise bridge to its Spock multicore processors. As the parallel company raises the vectorized core count with each multitudinal generation of new vector parallel products, it will get harder and harder for programmers to manage the complexity associated with all of that available parallelismistic forces.
Brings us back to Metallica, AKA the Godfathers of P2P abolishment, and their bullshit. They released an album that completely sucked and blamed bad sales on file sharing... in the meantime, boy bands and P-Ditty...er..puff daddy...er.... Whatever name he used at that time, was selling platinum albums like.... "whoa."
It would actually be nice to see actual numbers of sales and correlation between Newer and unknown bands becoming popular due to file sharing. The people actually cursing copyright infringements are usually those who are already millionaires. The rest know they had become famous because of it, and they can rely on concert sales (the real skill) for income.
I'm not for ALL filesharing for music, but rather using it for recognition and buying albums to support their cause.
Now, if only they would filter out the sites that CAUSE the malware and spyware. Not only that, but so many garbage/search sites come up when you search for simple things like drug names and such. You would think they could block out other automated crawlers that clog up bandwidth as well.
For 3 years straight I've been getting hit by Viagra and Penis enlargement e-mails/ads about 30 times a day. Maybe they can use that for their own defense just to irritate the piss out of them.
Parents are beginning to use the net, as well as games, for a babysitting device and with the time kids spend on the net, the more options they'll discover. Though they feel that changes to myspace can help lock down the reigns on their children, there are 200 other sites that they can be targeted on. If they're on the internet, they will be chased down in some way, shape or form.
If you have a hungry fox trying to get in a chicken coup, you can only fence it up so much to keep the chicken OUT. From that point on, you've got to take care of the predator.
Stronger laws must be enforced, more effective measure have to be taken care of and heavier penalties must insue. If you put a proven online pedofile away for 40 years on any charge, you'll definitely start warding them off... especially with the use of decoy children at hand.
This shit was going on WAY before myspace in yahoo, msn and aol chat rooms. Not only that, but that was the only thing it was used for, by THOUSANDS of sick bastards looking for kids. You don't hear many incidents at all about those cases because internet crime was not as popular.
Locking down myspace is like sending your child to the down by themselves, but only accompanying them when the go into ONE specific bar.

I got my shit mixed up. The case against them was circa 03 or 04, the law that pertained to the case was created in October of 98.
I was wrong.
It was around 98, rather than 97.

MY bad.
;)
I think my mind frame was thinking that I'm married now, and I was having sex with other girls aside from my wife.
Being married is me brain dead.
AOL?
What is AOL?
I'm glad someone thinks the same way I do.

To an extent, that's true.

Exactly.
Along with thousands of other providers. Not that I would KNOW about any of those situations, but I'm trackin'. *cough*
Maybe.
Those years were somewhat of a blur. I think I was probably somewhere drunk in college having sex with other college girls. DRM and Jobs was far from my mind.
Wait, maybe it was LSD.
Fuck.

See, it's not that hard to understand.
Amen.

What?
Yeah, I agree when it comes to mp3.com. Everything I listened to on there was pretty much garbage.
There have been quite a bit of artists that I wouldn't have listened to, or found, if I didn't just stumble across them in newsgroups.
With file sharing and the new crackdowns on internet radio, it seems as though it's going to be a bit of a rough ride for the new guy, in some ways.
It would actually be nice to see actual numbers of sales and correlation between Newer and unknown bands becoming popular due to file sharing. The people actually cursing copyright infringements are usually those who are already millionaires. The rest know they had become famous because of it, and they can rely on concert sales (the real skill) for income.
I'm not for ALL filesharing for music, but rather using it for recognition and buying albums to support their cause.
I see what you mean.
What I was actually referring to is simple searches on interactions or vital information without advertisements.
I search for interactions between sleep meds and other sorts of drugs for myself, and it gets a bit frustrating with nothing but web crawler sites.
SHAZBOT!
Nanu-Nanu.

My bad. "chicken IN" rather than chicken "OUT" and sending your child into "town" rather than "to the down".
Oops.
