That's a Citroen, right? Perhaps even a Picasso. The "Overspeed Warning Off" is normal, just hit the button on the end of the wiper stalk to switch the display to something else. It just means you haven't set the speed alarm.
They're not targeting you, they're targeting everyone who just wants to use a PC, with whatever OS it comes with, and whatever search engine pops up when they hit "Search the Web".
but, hey, thanks for telling everyone here what's so great about Google.
I think my point still stands, regardless of the difficulty/impracticality of that particular approach.
Another approach: distribute links to a band's sample page on Kazaa. Searching for music by "The Cosmic Spacehoppers" finds not just mp3s but links too. Dump the samples in there too, why not.
Some (most?) offer sample downloads from their websites. All we need is a directory that can collate these sample sites, organised by genre, taste etc, and your justification for stealing music goes away.
I'm playing devil's advocate a little here, since I found about Echolyn (and other bands) exactly the same way as you found out about the Wolfe Tones, but I'm never comfortable with this as an argument for p2p music sharing.
I thought exactly the same thing. I admit that I feel the same way he does, but I wouldn't be so dismissive without more in-depth analysis of those languages.
In fact, the whole discussion made me wonder about Parrot being the CLR/VM that we're looking for. A true libre multi-language platform.

Hey, that gmail spam filter not working for ya?
Look mods, clippy bashing is *such* a cliche knee-jerk response to an MS Office article that it warrants "Troll" only.
It's plain not funny. It's the response of loser sheep who think they "belong" because they know the bash-MS "jokes".
My free Hotmail account is at 2000Mb, so yeah, you're right. Are you a hard disk manufacturer?
I love it. Google pilot a big-box email beta system, and we all get 2Gb Hotmail.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Google of Sherwood.
Your sig at time of posting:
> "Are you into dragons?" - asked of me by a stranger in a sleazy bar
Well, this might not be so strange if you dress like Terry Pratchett.
(Nice post about labour stuff, by the way.)
shorten it to Tocracy, perhaps. Maybe not. :)
there was a James Brown reference earlier.
Nothing about Dover Sole either, though.
Explain yourself, O Wise One. I was trolled by moderators?
The poster makes a reasonable point. I fail to
see why his post is modded "troll".
If you disagree with what he's saying, then
reply.

Actually, I'd say go work on dotGNU. They're implementing straight from the ECMA specs.
I could explain it, but you'd never understand.
Every instrument on this album is a toy.

The other stuff doesn't sound normal though

Did shamino0 slip a joke in there?
Interesting..

Personally, I don't need to hear the whole album.

Have they been convicted of fraud then? You're sure this isn't a mistake, incompetence, whatever? It really is fraud?
What brilliant insight allowed you to interpret an accusation as proof that "a little fraud" took place?
Fair point, but then why offer commentary on the practise?
It reads like a troll. A software company directory who doesn't "get" why you need to
bootstrap a compiler.
Luddite. You're at the wrong site.
Insightful? "Luddite" more like.
It's spelt "feasible", not "feasable".
I read your post and was impressed, then I read this on the site you reference:

Exactly how is this attitude any different?
