Bill O'Reily's opinion can't be counted as bias of the media. It's his opinion, and he's entitled to it. Real bias would be when people start injecting their opinions and slants into actual news reporting, not when someone delivers a commentary. It's comparable an Op-Ed piece in a newspaper.
I wish I had mod points to mod this up... It's just going to get modded down because it's an unpopular view. Geez, at least let the guy express his opinion.
I can't tell you exactly how much, but I can tell you that for most artists it's not too much per album sold. Most of the money goes to the record company and other entities besides the artist.
You just posted almost the exact same message a little ways above this one. Got anything else to say besides how the troops have nothing better to do than kill innocents?
Actually, it's the "artists" who are some of the hardest workers in the buisness. They're either in the studio recording, out touring to support their album, doing promotional work, or hundreds of other things that they have to do to sell enough albums so they don't get dropped by their record label. Now, of course, I'm not talking about your Aerosmith/Britney Spears/Metallica super acts that pretty much can do what they want. I'm talking about bands that aren't superstars and still have to actually tour and promote most of the year. Those guys deserve to get paid, they work their asses off for it.
But hey, if he had come out of the bathroom with "just a stick in his hand" instead of "just his dick in his hand", at least he could have hit Captain McCluskey and Tattaglia over the head with it or something...
I remember reading somewhere (ESPN.com maybe) that the umpire and the system have to agree on 90 % of the calls to have the umpire's performance considered satisfactory. I haven't read anything as to whether there were more erros on strike calls vs pitches called as balls however. That would be interesting to know.
Exactly... Good players know how to play the game and take things like this to their advantage. By trying to make the umpires robotic in their calls, it almost, in my opinion, takes something away from the game itself.
Who in the hell modded this Insightful? Just because you don't agree with somebody doesn't mean they have "no common sense or a sense of social justice."
And by locking Morepheus out of the network, Kazaa proved that the network isn't really a true P2P network, and that you can shut it down if order to by a court of law. Good job guys...
A virus that tries to infect the.NET framework. Wow... Like we didn't see it coming, what with the hatred of Microsoft and all. Whoever wrote it could've thought of a better name though.
I thinkit's funny that a lot of people in this discussion are quick to criticize companies for defending their intellectual property, but when there was the slightest possibility that Morpheus had violated the GPL, everyone was up in arms. Granted, I think the companise in this case are being a little too heavy handed, but it's the same concept.
Well, it is bad when someones just repackages something like that, but you have to consider that they were locked out of their current network and needed a quick way to get back up and running before they started to lose their installed user base. Now, if they'll improve the software further is anyone's guess...

Hollings represents South Carolina. I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, because I'm from SC and I don't want to claim him for what he's doing, but I just thought I'd point that out.

Actually, they didn't ban a bunch of songs from their radio stations. They did make suggestions though.
Oh, and don't get me wrong, I hate Clear Channel too.

I had to use OptimalJ in one of my college classes, and I have to say that I didn't really like it all that much.
Offtopic, but we did? Where are those things at, I might want to check them out.
Yeah, but the GPL offenders will probably take care of Luca....

I like how this is modded as "funny", when in reality it's the honest-to-God truth.

Didn't even think about it that way. But yeah, you're right, that is pretty stupid...

The same Noam Chomsky that once said Osama Bin Laden could be taken at his word? Sure thing, real criticism, right...
Hmm, the US was bombing Cuba? You got any links to any sites that might support that theory at all?
From GM's EV FAQ:
How fast does the EV1 go?
The EV1 travels from 0 to 30 mph in under 3 seconds and 0 to 60 in under 9 seconds.
You're forgetting that at least 70 percent of the people here are incapable of thinking of it as something other than a "MS deserves this" matter...
