Think about it, all of those songs are already available on P2P networks and newsgroups already. Most of them with superior bitrates.
I think the above comment shows a more than passing familiarity with the P2P systems available and their content (down to comparative bit rates), which strongly indicates to me that a person uses said networks.
I based my conclusion that you use P2P on this. If my conclusion was erroneous, I apologize.
I can't belive this... someone who uses peer to peer networks yet says that if they bought the music they wouldn't share.. how small minded and shortsighted!!!
If everyone was as selfish as you the P2P networks would perish.. someone DOES have to pay for that music (or spend some time and effort to get it) in the first place to share it with you... why would you say you would not also share what you have paid for when you take advantage of what others have paid for and shared.
I almost expected to hear you call your files "my precious".
Why exactly do you hold the opinion that students should not be enlisted as systems administrators?
Do you have some experience or examples as to why you feel this way?
I am asking because as a student I co-administered the CS computer cluster (Linux, 10 nodes, 4 servers) at my University (Drake) with another student for my last two years, and I feel we did a damn fine job. We never had any major malfunctions, and gained some excellent experience in the process. We were employed by the university, but on a part time basis, but I am not sure this is what you are refering to as "actually working for the university". You seem to be saying that only a full time admin that is taking classes (thus qualifying as a 'student') should be allowed to have root privileges.
I am not discounting your opinion, I am just curious as to what your reasoning is for students to not be allowed to admin, as you did not explain exactly why you feel this way.
... and Bush couldn't figure out what the daily briefings really meant anyway, so they decided "Hell, may as well let the museum have it for a while!" Even empty it will be of more use there.
I know we can not yet play counter strike on Linux, but all the best Counter Strike Servers "do" run on Linux.
I know so many *nix freaks that support and love this game, it really has to be my number one choice.
I think that the major hurdle to overcome in the transition to an all Linux office environment is the office worker who does not want to learn.
I have actually heard people say that they "can't use Macintosh, because I only have experience with Windoze".
Equating lack of knowledge with lack of ability is a fallacy that many users allow themselves to fall into.
Managers are aware that their is a learning curve, and a lack of desire to learn, so they will often avoid making changes that may cause the lowest common denominator (office drone) to stress.
There are other browser options available for Linux.
I am currently using Star Office 5.1, available for the very reasonable cost of free for download. It has a nice office suite and a clean, no frills, yet very functional web browser. It can be downloaded from http://www.sun.com/products/staroffice/get.html Enjoy

Ah, the O'Callaghan's scones. I'd almost forgotten about them. Thank you for this thoroughly informative comment.
That brings up an interesting point. Do kid-kennels (daycare or whatever) require proof of vaccination to enroll?
You are right, it's really not fair to compare filthy little disease carrying animals to dogs.
I agree. I can't take my dog to a kennel without proof of vaccination. Are our dogs in kennels more important to protect than our children in schools?
Honestly ... I'd be embarrassed to be called a hacker if this work is the product of one
Apparently you do not need a degree to do well.
You do, however, have to lie about it.
If she had her degree, she would still have her job.
University degrees are worth plenty.
Mod the parent up ... this is an interesting question that should be answered.

The lab we admin'd was simply a computer science programming lab, mostly for student use.
The machines that contained research and development data were housed in another building, and were admin'd by full time professionals.
Thank you for providing a more detailed explanation of your views. I can see your point in this kind of situation.

They did list nanotechnology .... in a way ...
