those of you Win32 users who miss the Scour app, there's an alternative:

i've been using it for a while now, and can find (almost) everything i need with it...
as for us Canucks downloading more mp3s, when you factor in CDs that cost about $25 or more after taxes, downloading your music collection suddenly appears a LOT more appealing.
as for calling us 'immoral' or whatnot for 'stealing' music, ask the Industry what happened to their promise of lowering CD prices? and how about giving the artists a fair percentage of the profits?
well, if the school board really has all that stuff in their server, why'd they set up a security system that a 13 year-old could crack? we all know kids that age, especially geek-types, love a challenge, and if i read some of the posts right, it's been cracked before by other students.
shows how seriously out of touch he adminstration is with the students, because if it's been cracked into once, others will follow and see if they can do it too.
so, in part, the school board *IS* to blame for the boy's death.
you have to remember, you guys are in America, meaning most papers and essays are, for the most part, *ignored* by the commoners (and administrators, to boot...) but actions are _always_ noticed...
case in point: why do you think action movies and other such forms of visual stimuli are more popular than "chich flicks" or anything cerebral?
your country's been dumbed down so bad, everything has to be in-your-face before anyone'll get the first clue.
why do you think W Bush managed to get where he is now?
gah.
