  1. Re:Exactly right! on 17,000 Downloads Does Not Equal 17,000 Lost Sales · · Score: 0

    to bad one of the biggest indie labels, subpop, is 49% owned by warner which the riaaradar site does not acknowledge/know about. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the big 5 had money in a bunch of indie labels. I will buy the music if it is good regaurdless if it is RIAA or not. Presumably these bands understand the contracts they are signing into and will recieve a profit from the sale. Of course I will download and test the waters first.

  7. Re:China Ohio on Obama Wants Broadband, Computers Part of Stimulus · · Score: 0

    try again. I live in center city Philadelphia and I doubt I will be able to get a fiber connection by the end of the decade. Know why? Because 10 blocks southwest of me is a ghetto. Verizon has no desire to spend all that money to run fiber throughout Philadelphia and then have 25% of the people actually use it. The current wires in place are even a joke. When I signed up for comcast the guy came and climbed up a ladder disconnected and reconnected a bunch of cables until the internet started working. It looks like a spider web over on that pole. Maybe cities with more money such as NY/Miami, but just because a city is big doesn't mean it is good.

    if you only enjoy 2 songs off a 9-18 track album you need some better music to listen to

  11. Degree and Experience Mutually Exclusive? on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 0

    A lot of comments are eluding that if you have a degree there is no way to gain experience? How would starting out with a degree be any different then starting out without a degree? Both have zero experience, but at least one shows they have atleast some sort of ability. I will be graduating with an IT degree while having 2 years experience...

  14. Re:Or... on Many Universities Spending $100K/Year Enforcing P2P Rules · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You keep calling this internet 'free'. I'm pretty sure part of my 40k tuition goes to paying for that internet. No one cares that you use a 50k internet connection. Seriously, no one. Just because you are ancient and were forced to use such slow speeds does not mean that we should be punished. That is like hey I only got 3 television channels when I was growing up and thats all you need. So instead of getting 150 you should only get 3. Of course we only need 128kbs, but why should we settle for that when we are able to get over 1MBS. Please just go away.

  17. Re:What about Saudi Arabia, the US? on Iran May Shut Down Internet During Election · · Score: 0

    well anyone who hates independence day is most certainly a terrorist. Hezbollah called on "Muslim believers to boycott the movie" Independence Day due to the fact that a Jewish character played by Jeff Goldblum helps save the world from an alien invasion. Hezbollah called the science fiction movie, "propaganda for the so-called genius of the Jews and their alleged concern for humanity."

    If anyone is looking for a good alternative, my last company had panda anti virus and although on some older machines it slowed down the performance a bit it was pretty good overall.

    yes because work shoes are so uncomfortable and wearing a tie is just so awful. Find a nice pair of casual brown shoes and be done with it. If anything these are more comfortable then my sneakers.

    The best part was that last bit "The Frag Pipe has just added an additional 9 Team Fortress 2 Screen Shots, having a total of 67 Screen Shots. They also have a calendar by Marc Lange available for download" I guess TF2 was released on time.

  24. Re:what about the fraud with Ron Paul votes? on New Hampshire Primaries Follow-Up Analysis · · Score: 0

    Agree with you 100%. Just flipping through the channels after a primary they show the percentages of votes won by each candidate and for some reason only CNN actually shows Paul's name on their pie charts, which as stated is usually higher then Rudolf or Fred.
