i'll stand in line behind this idea sounds like one of those creepy bits of legislation that could get passed quietly attached to some congressional bill on increasing the defense budget
just get tunebite and re-encode your "locked-in" format into mp3, ogg, wav, whatever you like.
i'm 3/4 of the way through a total re-encode of all my (70 gigs or so worth) napster.wma files into the more portable.mp3
it basically plays the file using wmp or itunes or whatever and records the audio off your sound card. the best part about it is if you have a card that supports it, you can dub at 4x speed so that 70 gigs or so has taken me about two weeks instead of two months:P
...use tunebite after downloading their locked.wma music and automagically convert it into unlocked.mp3 (or.ogg , or.wma) music and do with it as they wish. all perfectly legit, bought and paid for.
while motorcycles ARE inherently more dangerous and more difficult to operate than cars (ie. they offer little or no protection in a crash, must be balanced, etc.) the common perception that they are "dramatically more dangerous than cars" is just plain misinformation.
the basics: learn how to ride properly, wear a good helmet (full face, DOT and SNELL approved), obey the speed and traffic laws, don't drink and drive, remain aware of your surroundings and the other drivers around you. follow these basic rules and you probably won't get into a serious accident. if you're pulling wheelies on the highway at 95 mph while drunk and not wearing a helmet on the first day you get your license, you've got the life expectency of a jellyfish in a blast furnace (to steal a phrase from terry pratchett).
for a great deal of riders "going down" involves a twisted ankle and scraping up one of your farings after slipping on a patch of gravel at an intersection, not blasting into a guard rail at 80 mph.
bicycles get incredible gas mileage...zero gallons of gas will run it forever!
in all seriousness, my 22 year old motorcycle gets better gas mileage than just about any car out there. properly tuned it gets somewhere between 45 and 50 mpg. newer smaller engine bikes (the little 250cc ninjas and stuff) get even better. i've heard of bikes getting around 70mpg

urchin does, in fact, rock. i've deployed it on a bunch of systems with varying needs from 14gig logfiles to 10,000+ website environments and it has handled everything i've thrown at it, done it faster and better than any other stats software i've ever seen.
now that it's been bought by google i'm assuming it will get even better since urchin's cutting-edge approach to statistical analysis matches perfectly with google's unique approach to coding
unfortuately it's people like you who have allowed this definition to exist. *YOU* (and those like you) have created a world where "purposely annoying the fuck out of hundreds of people each day" is defined as being "productive members of the human race". mealy-mouthed excuses like this are the reason it's perfectly acceptable to ruin someone's afternoon for a living.
wake up, there's a *ton* of other jobs that can be done by anyone who can stand up (or sit down) and speak a coherent sentence. how about flipping burgers (this one actually necessitates moving an arm so it may be negotiable), wal-mart greeter, receptionist, stuffing envelopes, working the register at a supermarket/target/wal-mart/k-mart/clothing store, be one of those dmv drones that basically hands people sheets of paper to fill out all day. why wouldn't you try one of those (or the many others) before you immediately turn to bombing people or pushing people out of a fucking plane. what kind of sick and twisted reasoning leads you to the idea of fucking pushing people out of a plane before stuffing envelopes?

yep, the EPA maintains policy on motorcycle emissions just the same as cars. we need to pass inspection at the DMV just like everyone else :P

don't attribute your failings to the browser. just because you may not know a good way of managing updates doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
