the thing is, it takes as long to go to the record store, look around, pay, and come home as it does to download and burn an album, and it takes even less time to download if you don't want every track on that album. so, even if cd's were free at stores, there'd *still* be a cost advantage to downloading them: gasoline or other transportation costs.
on the other hand, if a record store was giving away free cd's, i'd drive a long time to get there... perhaps it's the fact that i'd actually have something to hold in my hands. i like that. that's why i'm a bit scared of the (apparently) coming death of the cd: free music on the computer is nice, but it almost seems like an illusion, that i don't really have that music.
yeah, i was stuck on that "authorizing..." page for about 10 seconds. i'm sure i wasn't really waiting for some kind of authorization. it's just to make the any bots run incredibly slow. also, i noticed that i get way too many results with this kind of search. i don't wanna look through thousands of results for one book!
i can't believe you'd suggest that the archetects should have anticipated planes crashing into the twin towers. who's gonna think of that? they had no reason to build armored buildings. do you know of *any* buildings built specifically to withstand plane crashes? it's preposterous. being built to withstand earthquakes and severe storms, sure, but not planes. they might as well start designing them to be giant gorilla-proof.
yeah, i think these guys just say "the government is making a stupid mistake" no matter what they do. of course, most of the time, they're probably right...
yes, but to have a "copy of pi" on my computer, my hard drive would have to have infinite storage capacity. in other words, i would have to have a copy of every mp3 that was ever created, ever could be created, and also every other combination of numbers possible. no, we'd actually have to have our computers generate pi to the required decimal place.
while i don't really agree with you, i have additional evidence to support your position. linux is viewed, even by the academic community, as actually being unix. i am currently in a class titled "INTRO TO UNIX using linux". the teacher didn't specifically say much at all about the difference, and the general impression she gave was that linux is a type of unix.

what does this do?

that's a great argument! but how many years would it take my cpu to compute pi to the correct place?
It therefore *is* UNIX in my book.

i don't know anyone here in the u.s. who's bought *any* single, since the time music was released on vinyl. do they sell singles here?
no way. beakman was (maybe) a little bit more entertaining, but the intelligence level was way lower.
more recently, it was bill nye the science guy, but he's not on anymore, near where i live. who's going to fill the shoes?
