    Bravo sir! A sensible recourse in these straitened times.

    They will take your wife and sell her into slavery. But you knew that, right?

    Come on, what was the name of the band?

    Just a guess, but maybe the person they had handling the file compression was a pre-OS X sound guy who was stuck in his ways and just compressed the files the way he always did. Were they .aif? Maybe the band just didn't know any better, or perhaps were not directly involved in the process.

    I have been wondering the same thing about my own music, a lot of which is freely available on my (admittedly horribly designed) website. So far no false accusations of 'making available' other people's music. But I half expect to hear something, some time.

    Sorry, no, it is not in the least bit helpful.

    You give the courts too much credit! If they were more machine like there might actually be more efficiency and dare I suggest, more justice. Court buildings are filled with all sorts of people - sure some good ones, but a lot of avaricious, ambitious, two-faced, drug deranged assholes (I'm talking about the people that work there not the average Joes). If machines were like that we would have stayed in the stone age.

    Well said!

    Maybe they were using the wrong kind of tyres.

    Took me a while to figure out 'U.S. Fingers crossed'.

    well, loosely based. Too loosely!

    And the weird thing is that red haired people are a very small minority in Ireland.

    For Sol's sake people, just build an henge and stop all of this technological nonsense!

  15. Re:Including a large number from Michael Jackson on Hackers Nab Unreleased Michael Jackson Tracks From Sony · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking.

  16. Re:I am amused standing in a cashiers line on Is Poor Numeracy Ruining Lives? · · Score: 2

    ? Whenever I pay by cash the change amount is worked out on the register from the amount tendered. Seems like there is actually no need for any basic mathematical skills these days apart from just counting up the change to match the read out on the register. Not saying it is right, just that the modern cash register has made all but the most fundamental mathematical skills redundant at the cash point.

    That wasn't a headline. It was part of the body of the summary.

  18. Re:Broadcast journalists? on RIAA CEO Hopes SOPA Protests Were a "One-Time Thing" · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that most 'broadcast journalists' are merely reading from a script and that the stories are actually researched by nameless and faceless journalists.

    No we don't all know that, because what you say is not true. Only a small percentage of the population had to endure the so called 'troubles'.

    Charming! I said I had never heard of an LP single not that 'there was no such thing'. And, no I will not waste my time googling shite like the albums you mentioned. Cunt.

    Can't run 10.6 on eMac. Highest version that will run is 10.5 Leopard which Apple no longer sells.

  23. Sorry, I have to disagree: nothing nice about a Times Roman font. Your other points are spot on though.

    You got there before me and you are absolutely correct.

  25. Discontinued 6 years ago. Have PPC not Intel CPU and are therefore are pretty much obsolete. Can't run any up to date browsers and a lot of software. So, yes, they need to replace these computers.
