    Educate her that doing a boot everyday wears down the hard drive more than a resume. In hibernate it's (depending on the motherboard) basically off.

    The patch will have to be in either the eggs of the female (very unlikely it will reach there) if it even COULD work at all because of the way eggs are special (giant, hard large shell) or in the site where male sperm does its meiosis; sperm cells are made by dividing like mitosis then dividing again to form 4 cells with half the DNA. It's possible in males, but very unlikely in females.

    If someone suggested the cops should be given the right to monitor internet-connections in real-time and immediately arrest and castrate everyone seen attempting to access child porn, I think they would get significant support for their idea.

    You never had a wife and pregnancy, did you? I'm gonna mention 2 things:

    1. Women start lactating about halfway through the pregnancy.

    2. Women get more horny during pregnancy. And also, orgasm can cause sudden lactation. The milk has to go somewhere, whether it's in the drain, on the sheets, bra, etc...

  25. Re:My two cents on Will the New RIAA Tactic Boost P2P File Sharing? · · Score: 1

    1. Do their damnedest to promote all the usable online services. iTunes, Amazon, the whole smash. No DRM anywhere, though I think people won't mind fingerprinting. Do a mix of buy-to-own and subscription services; there are separate markets for each. Sell audio with lossless encoding (Apple Lossless and FLAC if that works in the non-Apple ecosystem). Raffle off concert tickets for buyers on the download services. Try to reach everyone -- Windows, Mac, Linux.

    I agree, but let's simplify this. You can right click the download button and get a format in whatever you want, be it FLAC, Apple Lossless, the default AAC, etc.

    2. Do a "legal" P2P service that traffics purely in 128kbps MP3s of popular songs with lead-in or lead-out ads. "Weezer's Red Album -- now available from your online music store." That kind of thing.
     
    3. Let Web radio live. I'm sure there's a reasonable profit stream there that everyone can tap into if nobody strangles the golden goose, so to speak. It also drives sales -- when I was a kid the only music I actually bought was stuff I'd already heard on the radio. Get people to actually use the "radio" function in iTunes and web browsers and whatnot. Music radio on 3G phones. The possibilities are endless here.

    These can be very similar. The difference is a push vs pull system. Web Radio can be used to introduce people to new songs, to push, and the free p2p client can be used to pull, find details, and find the album. The legal p2p client AND the web radio needs to be easy to PURCHASE songs from. They are both free, but the system to get the songs with full rights are not, but the system to buy should be easy. For example, while listening to the web radio you should be able to save the info to review later, or be able to buy it now.

    4. Instead of chasing homemade music videos off YouTube, get people to pay a "licensing fee" of say $5 and then let them be. There are also cross-licensing deals for advertising dollars to be had with the video services.

    No. Fair use. The song only needs to be referenced properly. The users of Youtube can probably put it in automatically. See how a song can easily be bought from a link under the video? That's free revenue, simply because of ease. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKxs8Ge_9g Like this (this was just the first song that came in my head).

    6. (the one they'll never accept) Deal with the fact that music is now a more distributed phenomenon and that the massive profit margins the record companies saw on audio cassettes and CDs just can't exist anymore. Make what profit you can instead of getting sucked down the toilet with the rest of the economy.

    Duh.
