So NVIDIA programmed a backdoor into their cards that lets them access the cards directly from a remote location? I wonder why anyone didn't catch this before.
That's really underhanded -- NVIDIA is skating on very thin legal ice, and if this gets out, they will probably he headed into court in the near future.
Steven, I wanted to look at some of your current projects in development, yet your webpage didn't have a DNS entry. Any reason behind this?
That's why those artists are, repeat after me, sell-outs. They signed the contract.
Their interest isn't in making more fans.
Their interest isn't in getting their music out to a broader audience.
Their interest is in making the most money possible.
They're brainwashed by the RIAA into thinking that each time someone trades one of their mp3s, that's one less time that song could be purchased. How many people buy singles any more? I think the last time I EVER bought a single was for Ratt, back when they were popular, and I was young & didn't have mouch money.
I played drums in a small progressive rock band for 4 years (92-96). Trust me, I'd be glad if I found even ONE of my songs being distrubuted through Napster. We weren't playing for the money, we were playing for the respect for the fans. We knew that no matter what we did we wouldn't be able to make it big, so we concentrated on our academics, and played for fun -- a few small ventures. Our biggest hopes and ambitions were to one day open up for some of the grunge rock bands of the day -- STP, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, to name a few. It's almost ironic that now they're the ones opening up for other bands.
If anyone sees any mp3s by the band Dark Scythe (not my idea for the name!), I'd really appreciate knowing about it!

Tahoma, IIRC, is a Microsoft designed font, and is really quite readable.

And mp3.com isn't exactly doing very well either.
See http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MPPP&d=3m for proof.
They've been on a slide ever since June 6th, which, to the suprise of no one, is when they struck the deal with the RIAA to let my.mp3.com stay open.
