well, i mostly read the news to get information on new music web, print, tv etc. My friends are also a good resource.
now, i understand the *idea* that they would be filtering the wheat from the chaft, but they are not (frankly).... they are doing something else altogether - thats use mass-marketing to sell music. Not use modern communications media to communicate to prospective audiences, but blast and repeat blast and repeat blast and repeat about some silly no-talent.
the predominence of this model is doomed. simply. centralized control (riaa) is pointless when their physical value (distribution/publishing) approaches Zero.
i gotta tell you ben, i just clicked on your link but couldnt listen to your music because there was none available on your website... just a link to mp3.com.
id would have had a listen if i could have dloaded some Oggs (prefered) from your website... or mp3s if need-be.
Why would an art patron like myself be interested in seeing "anyone honestly being a prof. music publisher"?
Im interested in the Artist's works - the publisher is a leech.
What we are talking about is not making the industry accomidate the interests of the labels - but having them (and artists/patrons) realize their irrelevance. THIS is what the internet has done... you just seeing the last lashes and gnashing-of-teeth by some tired old dinosaurs... their days are numbered.

As i mentioned, most 'likeable' people, regardless of their Country-of-Origin are treated well. Identifying oneself as Canadian, removes the possibility that we could be confused with being a Yank.
The benefit to this is simple, America, is uniquely hated. I say this because of your international policies, the hubris and vocal nature of SOME of your citizens (and they do exist in greater numbers from America (i live in a border town)) your war-mongering, vile-unrestrained plutocracy etc.
Some Yank will be shouldered with defending that responsibility in a personal sense when they portray the typical Yankee. When they are a nice person (pretty broad opportunity eh?) they are forgiven, and people come to think, "this person is cannot support these actions which we know the USA is responsible for." and would subsequently be treated well.
The unique hatred is a result of your collective actions. The things your media and government does/says. Some Yankees are responsible for these acts, not all - and reasonable people know this.
I dont want to be associated with your Nation, I immediately clear any confusion w/r/t my OWN nationality -- not because Im a Jingo-Canadian -- but because I want to slip from under the sludge that might besmirch my character before anyone gets the wrong idea.

...and edit the XF86Config file...
What are you supposed to then do w/ the XF86Config?
but one strong possibility is that the term has simply fallen out of use both at Microsoft and in their survey population
or, MS didnt want to include the Free Software meme in its Survey (thereby replicating it).
They would like to see Free Software only be Open Source - because they have (some) answers to Open Source.. but none for Free Software.
hey, go easy - I always go off the handle - but i almost always read the article, Mr. Anon. CoWard.
ok, mod me into oblivion - i admit, i didnt read the article...

take those monitors out

kill the funky spacing.
What do you have against DTV/HDTV?
That the Plutocratic US Government is shutting down analogue signals because(for?) of the change -- and it will force our old sets into landfills.
so what do you see when the driver crashes
In my best whispery-2001 voice: "My God, its full of stars".
no this is not funny, had to share anyway.
IRV isnt as good (IMHO) as Condorcet
please, have a read.
...except that your at a physical disadvantage to the people who drive SUVs in a safety sense.
and the feeling that your 'safe' in a bigger vehicle is a major reason people buy SUVs.
my vote is take Semi-Trucks off the road, put freight back on rail && institute a 2.5 tonne limit on ALL PUBLIC ROADS.
Im tired of the arms-race w/r/t vehicle weight on the streets...
