I remember one of the last times the Atlantic tried to write about computer technology, this was about 6 years ago, and
the reviewer was gushing about this wonderful, new, crashproof operating system called...
Warp
Has anyone heard from OS/2 lately? Nope, sunk without a trace.
On the contrary, I'm writing this comment on a Warp 4 machine, sitting next to another warp 4 machine. 24/7 uptime on both. Yes, its a 4 year old OS, but hell, it even supports my new Voodoo5. And its still 100 times better than any version of Windows out there.
Here are two record labels who are NOT in the RIAA. Most of their stuff is classical and jazz:
www.chandos.net -- British company, lots of selection
www.referencerecordings.com -- US company, small selection, but their CDs are by FAR the highest quality I have ever heard!
It's not your $1000 stereo, its your computer. If you compare a 256kbps mp3 to a CD on your computer, even on a $10000 stereo there will be nil difference. But compare the mp3 through a $1000 computer to a Cd through $1000 Cd player, both hooked up to a $1000 stereo, and the difference will be astounding. MP3s suck for quality. Period.
Actually, they didn't give Napster 300000+ ip addresses, rather they gave them 300000+ napster login IDs. Banning these IDs will do nothing, as it takes 10 seconds to create a new account on Napster anyway!
