Does anyone out there know if these two virus's can affect microsoft personal webserver? I have it running in the background of my windows box and it just hit me, I'm, in essence, running a microsoft server. hmmm.
Assuming this *can* happen, is there a possibility that this could happen via a USB port? Mine came with a USB attachment, and although I am yet to get it to sync, I'm wondering if I want to bother.
The way it is reviewed, it sounds like a knock-off of St.Thomas Moores 'Utopia' only, St. Thomas uses the equation; (Society + Thoecracy)+(no outside input) = Utopia Lawie uses: (Society - God) + Aliens = whatever he wants
It's true, maybe the 'mp3 revolution' will destroy the big music corp's, and the music they own. Or it's quite possible that the corp's will destroy mp3's. What is more likely, given the manner in which culture tends to move is that nothing particularly 'revolutionary' *will* happen, outside of the slow, steady direction that it is already headed. That is that technology is becoming cheaper to the point that we are able to watch that which is cutting edge become thrift store crap in within a few years. There *is* a downside to this, which is that many people's livelyhoods are flushed with the passing of each of these technologies. The upside is that regular people are able to aquire last years cutting edge for next to nothing. For example, the fact that the average person can create a home studio for very little money. (nothing if a person knows where to get the software for a 'discount') What this has been doing for the past decade is that the power has been taken out of the hands of the music corprations and given to anyone who wants it. You want to record your music digitaly and them master it? Now you can. You no longer need to sell yourself to some big wig. With a little hard work and some searching on the www. you can set up your own tour across a north america. And yes, if you want to get your music out to a world wide audience for 'free', now you can, thanks to mp3's. So is this 'good' for the music majors? NO. Is it good for the average musician who knows his/her fans through the intimacy of a stadium? NO. But you know what? Who cares. There has never been a better time for the average person to go out and make a 'living' off their own music. They may not get rich, but that will make sure that they continue to put effort/creativity into what they are creating, because it's their meal ticket. Wasn't it Woody Guthrie who said something to the effect of, "I may not get rich, but as long as I have a guitar and a song to sing, there will always be someone to share with me a bowl of soup and a place to sleep." (ok, I'm not sure how he put it, but that's what he was getting across =)Maybe we'll even get back to the era when people made music because it was an art form, not a commodity. Wow, what an idea. Anyone who knows anything *knows* Paul and his rock star contemporaries haven't done anything resembling 'art' for many, many decades.
in a class once. Ya, I'm sure of it. Weren't you the one who took Philosophy 260? No not to learn anything of course, just to find arguments to back up your own self-serving mindset. Where exactly did "Socialism fail"? (And i hope you're not going to point to the Soviet Union.) What does offering literary works for free have to do with socialism? Because it's free? I suppose libraries are a form of socialism too. Thanks for being one of the people that are helping to make this world such a great place for the masses to live in.(Sarcasm implied.) By the way if you are looking for work, I hear that there's still quite a bit of money to be made raping third world countries. Those places are full of parisites I hear.
Yes, yes, because 'A Clockwork Orange' was monotonous, and so was 'Full Metal Jacket'...oh wait a minute, those films kept many people on the edge of their seat. As did of Kubrick's more 'psycholgical' films. Mind you, most movie's cater to an audience with the attention span of a eight year-old, (as has been made painfuly obvious by the all action, no substance shlock that fills most theatre's.) But you're right, 'Dr.Strangelove' was a fun film.
I'm not sure if you just copied those three paragraphs out of your 'Y2K Guide to Film', but any film buff should know that the war movie you were refering to was 'Full Metal Jacket'. And I must say that it's not suprising that you didn't find 'Eyes Wide Shut' up to par, it seems you were too busy reading your textbooks to realize that it was a "deep look into the psychology" of sexuality. (Don't get me wrong though, it took us all a few minutes to get used to the fact that we were witnessing a *serious* film starring Tom Cruise.) But not too worry, in a year or two all the critics who bashed it, (like yourself,) will be jumping on the 'we all knew at once it was a masterpiece' bandwagon. Most likely just in time to scoff at A.I. But lets just be happy that 18 years of Mr. Kubricks work won't end up being shelved, and hope that Spielberg can do it justice.

You my brother are acting as one of those stereotypes. Let your guard down. It's Ok.
