Then you dont buy CD's as well. All CD's are compressed hard (audio compression, not data compression) so all the life is sucked out of it. When CD's first came out most were incredible as the engineers tried to make them fantastic. Companies like Mobile Fidelity sound Lab released albums that stunned people. I have several Ultradiscs of old analog recordings that blew away the best turntable setup I could find. I have a all digital mastering of Information Society's first album that was released as an MFSL Ultradisc that used the full dynamic range that CD had in it and it is incredible even on a cheap $99.00 CD player.
Today, ALL CD's are mastered to sound good on a $2.99 piece of crap car stereo. The Audio compression is cranked up to make it "louder" and all the soul is sucked out and discarded. I cant find a CD today that is sold by a major label that does not suck in sound quality.
Honestly, if you ever heard a very well done CD, you'd be pissed at the utter crap they are releasing on CD now.
AS long as it's a NON DRM format that you can convert to the new formats, Yes.
And I am finding some artists are enlightened and offering the M3's as 320VBR on Amazon.com or as FLAC from them directly. The last digital Album I bought was in a mp4 format with a static single Frame video track and AC3 audio at full bitrate and 5.1 surround. AS there is no "free" format for higher than CD quality and multitrack, artists are re-purposing Video tracks for distribution.
It was recorded live at Burningman at the Drum Circle. The sound is utterly incredible.
From all that I have read and followed the ONLY reason it has not been cracked earlier was because OtherOS existed and removed the need to crack it from those that actually had the skill to do so. The second they removed "OtherOS" they gave a huge number of experts a reason to crack it.
Dear Sony, All you are doing is now causing this information, that you want kept secret, to become mainstream news. Remember DeCSS? It was a minor thing until the Last batch of idiots sued the guy and it became wide spread and copied 800,000 times overnight.
So I suggest you hire some competent people to run your legal department, as they really do not know what that are doing.
Have you seen wonens jeans? they make their asses look like guy ass.
Nothing is more pleasurable than a woman with a shapely ass where the jeans cut in to show off each cheek. Jeans that bridge the butt crack are a crime.
And as evident by the effect of a lot of wind blowing away from the event horizon as seen in the films when they do travel.
A non repuslive event horizon has the possibility of causing huge problems if the atmospheric pressure at the starting point was higher than the end point or vicea versa. 1-2 psi in planet size is a crapload of pressure.
/Recently spammers have new tools in place, I am suddenly getting comment spam on 4 wordpress sites that use this kind of stuff to trap it. I have notice this for over 5 weeks now.
AT&T's 3G in most places is slightly faster than dialup. They might as well reinstate unlimited, as their network is so borked most places you cant get any speed.
I'm ready for a new iphone, but you wont sell me one at a discount because you want to make me wait another year.
Guess what, If you want to keep me, in 1 year when I am off contract, You had better offer me a 32Gig iphone 4 for free or discount the service by $40.00 a month or I'm switching to Verizon.
If you guys are going to be 3rd rate service, then I pay far less.
They typically have more access than anyone else. and Those people typically are temp positions. Why do you think it's so easy to hack most corporations?
I had a CEO shit himself when I finally informed him that I as a top tier It admin I had the keys to his kingdom. His encrypted disk, I can read it. His email, I can read it.
And I also told him that because of corporate policy, we do. We have a script that looks through and flags any of his correspondence if any keywords are triggered.
He literally shit himself and demanded that all his communications be encrypted so nobody can access it. I handed him a list of URL's of software to use and told him, Here you go, If I help you I can get in it. you have to do it all by yourself.
He got off his high horse pretty quickly.
"I guess I have to trust my BMW mechanic to not cut my brake lines or plant a bomb..", he said. Yup! Although you should treat those with that kind of power over your life with more than the normal respect and niceness...
From that day on, IT got a box of dough-nuts every Friday from the CEO.
Companies like accountability. If the thing blew up, they want someone to fire.
with 10+ admins, you cant point a finger in a heat of passion and say "Escort him from the building!", it would take weeks to figure out what happened, and if the 10+ admins were wise they would cover each others asses.

My daughter is a very strong animal rights activist. and she Loves a good steak. She buys her meat from a local organic farm/ butcher. These animals have lead a very good life and actually taste a whole lot better.
It's the nutjobs that think we need to let everything roam free and live it's entire life that are the "dont eat it if it has a face" types. Animals are our tools and crops. If we treat them nice then their life was a good one, that's being good to them, kill them humanely as in painless as possible, and it's all good.
Honestly, a Cow is not going to go on to contemplate something and write a dissertation on the state of cowdom... once they mature they chew,fart,crap,chew,fart,crap,chew,fart,crap.. It's the same every day.

Not around here.
CocaCola in a vending machine was $0.75 5 years ago. it's $1.50 in the vending machine now, so that's a 2X increase.

Leave it to a MegaCorp to do the wrong thing.

Yes completely boned... Because if you hand up the person on the other end of the phone will die. You cant hang up! OMG! OMG! OMG!
Nope still screwed.... we still have not found a source for Dilithium Crystals.

There's a difference between bloggers and the Wall Street Journal. They both have more credibility than Fox News.

During WW-II the chances of coming home were 50-50 and they had no shortage of fathers to line up to die.

Please report to reeducation building #475 for your correctional adjustment.
tofu cooked right is awesome. Tofu has ZERO flavor, it takes on the flavor around it.
Tofu in a nice beef broth reduction with some nice veggies and nice chunks of beef cooked all day and then added to the Chili stock is INSANELY good.
