... if they had a replacement in place before they took donw the illegal sites. There is obviously a lot of interest in getting the lyrics to the songs and not everybody prints them on the CD sleeve (added value guys!) but if you're going to ban these sites, replace them with soemthing for your customers!
It's already happening. Every time I download mp3s that are marked Britney Spears or Back Street Boys or some other recent artist, all I get is a completely crap song that nobody in their right mind would download for free let along pay for... Where are the real songs?!?
A musician is not a doctor or engineer, you arent trained to do it, you can take a kid and give him a mic and this kid could be the best singer of all time (Think Michael Jackson),
If you think a good singer isn't trained, then you'll never make the big time... you may have raw talent, but even the most gifted singer has to train to sing properly - it's not just a matter of opening your mouth.
Chandler - a more fully open project?

Perhaps someone should send a 'group letter' to all relevant politicians in various countries to start co-operating?
Better yet, find the email address of your favourite MPs and sign them up for all the spam mail sites you cna find... that will get them active pretty quick:-)
The whole thing isn't exactly giving a good image of the USA as the "land of the free and brave" but rather something like the "rich and blinded by power".
I think the idea of the USA as the "land of the free and brave" hasn't existed in most of Europe for a long tiem now. They mayt be brave, but in terms of restrictions on people and loss of civil rights, America seems more and more like some third world dictatorship every year...!
Especially as one of the biggest selling, most poular series of games in Germany is "moorhuhn" where you use a shotgun to balst defenceless birds out of the sky.
Why is the US the only school system in the world that produces graduates so dumb that they have to have a reminder on their finger that they actually graduated...!;-)
The PPV dicussed in the article does it right, it works on the basis of signals sent i.e. doesnt matter if the programming was ordered, if it was viewed thats good enough for billing them.
But that's a cable system. SKY is a satellite broadcast so there is no way to detect that you have watched the program unless your box is connected to the phone line.
Bah! If swarms are so intelligent....

Gleaned from the net, these appear to have been the vital experiments that the Columbia astronauts were risking their lives for. Now how many of these couldn't have been performed in an unmanned mission? And how many of these are really useful and not just a way of filling up the crew's time in orbit?
a study of how bacteria and yeast develop in space and how reduced gravity affects their response to antibiotics.
an attempt to photograph desert dust drifting over the Mediterranean in order to assess its impact on the weather
the Water Mist Fire Suppression Experiment (MIST)designed to study how a finely-sprayed water mist puts out a fire
One experiment studied the formation of soot while another looked at creating flame balls with low mixtures of fuel and air.
another experiment to grow bone and prostate cancer tissue inside a device called a bioreactor is going so well that scientists have had to take measures to slow down the growth.
a project to see if a spider can spin a web in zero gravity and, if so, whether it would be different to those spun on Earth.
(a) wouldn't care a whole lot about Earth, we're one foot out of the ectoplasm. We haven't done anything interesting that a highly evolved civilization hasn't already done.
So why do scientists here on Earth travel long distances, cram themselves into tiny bathyspheres, sink great depths into the oceans and risk possible death just to study a few microbes that are still in the ectoplasm that live around a volcanic vent?;-)
This is a guy who (with his wife) is in the process of donating $24 Billion to good causes.
It would be interesting to kow what percentage of that money came from illegally exploiting his company's power as a monopoly i.e. how much of his generous donation was effectively stolen from you and me and others over the year?
But if you're really worried about appearances, write Ducky an email about the problem. If by the end of the email you still are mystified, you can always send the email to a colleague.
Just be sure you remove the initial "Hello, Ducky" before sending it to a fellow employee!

With the sex and violence edited out, I managed to watch my complete pr0n collection in under 5 minutes last night...
Who'd want a copy of a Yugo?
The same people who download MP3s by Steps, Five, Backstreet Boys, etc. etc. etc....!!
You missed out the "as long as you live in the US" -the other lyric sites were availbale worldwide!

Or more likely, they remove the faulty car seat and replace it with one that doesn't have the fault... but it's nice to have the choise isn't it?

You've obviosuly never attended a 5 hour seminar and only had your sanity saved because you had Patience installed...
Playing games? No, I was making notes...!
Plotting the TOp 25 by year we see:
90 XXX
91 X
92 XXX
93 XXXXXXX
94 XXX
95 X
96 XX
97 XXXX
98
99
00
01
02 X
Looks like they peaked early in 93 and, despite a brief revival in 97, its been downhill ever since.
Or does anybody's best ever list contain items from 98 - 02 seasons?

"The judge found that Kraven exhibited "highly exaggerated muscle tone in arms and legs.""

This begs the question
No, this begs the question... if exaggerated musles make Craven nonhuman then what species is Arnold Schwarzenegger?

I agree folders doesn't cut it, though as a metaphor for explaining the tree it's not bad. The problem is the tree.

becaue folders and trees go together like... leaves and filing cabinets!
