Or that you think that dichotomy is meaningless? Maybe you don't buy into the hype that "People who don't get albums are Philistines!"?
Gosh. Wonder if there is room on this planet for a diversity of opinions. Nope...probably not. We better all just get in line behind Barry Norton and only like what he likes.
I'm glad I don't have ideas in my head like "Today's music is crap" or "Yesterday's music is crap" or "Old music is crap" or "New music is crap".
If you look at my library, it covers about 300 years of music. I like it all. I don't mind listening to a Mozart overture, and then a Kylie Minogue bubblegum pop oeuvre. It's all music to me.
"And so what? non-embryonic stem cell research is the stuff that's actually doing useful things! Actually curing people!"
I wonder if that's because it's the only one getting funding.
I don't know if that's the case or not, but your reasoning is kinda circular. I mean, as long as it's not funded, there sure aren't going to be developments in embryonic stem cell research.
(Yes, this is radically simplified. I understand that.)
I may be blind, but you can't even be bothered to hew to your own principles. That makes them worth much less than the paper your ideas here are printed on.
Which says something, since your ideas are not printed, and there's no paper.
OK,/., you can all come over to my house. We'll look in my mirror. All, what? Couple hundred thousand of you. Who have different opinions. And are not part of the same consciousness.
How can something with three quarters of a million minds be "closed minded"? How can something that spans every nation and (probably) every socio-economic group be "bigoted"?
Are there closed-minded people? Sure. Are there bigots? Absolutely. But the community is not the same thing as its individual members.
"And rightly so. So where are the hellions that cursed MS for buying up vendors in the mid-to-late nineties?"
They're called the Department of Justice. Maybe you've heard of them.
There is no/. Overmind, therefore there is no double standard. There is no consensus here. Nobody speaks for "us". You are not having a discussion with a monolithic entity.
So, you're STILL piping up with no clue. Consider yourself clued.
The GPL exchanges rights to use the code for your compliance with a set of rules. It is a free agreement, entered into by free actors. There is no, repeat NO, compulsion or coercion.
Don't like the GPL? Don't use it. Don't release your works under it. Nobody will make you.

I think the judge should have told him "Bend over and I'll show ya, Billy boy."
If that's what you think I'm saying, you're nuts.
Clinton was a liar.
Bush is a liar.
They lie very differently.
No, Clinton was the master of the nuanced evasion. Bush and his handlers are the masters of doublethink.
*blows kiss*
I bet you're wrong. I win.
1) More or fewer than IE?
2) What, you mean the beta point releases? You know, the ones that are BETA SOFTWARE? How shocking.
I don't think much of CBS's "journalism" either.
Bet I've listened to Wagner more recently than you have, therefore I am the superior music listener, and have a demonstrably larger penis.
"percentage of good movies has dropped well below what it used to be"
Care to substantiate this?
You don't remember all the crappy movies that were released in the '70s, because they were crappy and forgettable.

If the artist is signed to a major label, they can not be helped.
So go look for acts that don't sample. It's not that hard.

"Those without morals are sometimes more adept at seeing others failures than those blinded by the light..."
They're also totally unqualified to comment. HAND.

That's right. I now remember the name. Thank you for setting me straight!

They made two Rikers. Both were obnoxious.
Where do those links demonstrate that the Church is ruling the State?
You know that that's what "theocracy" means, right? It does not mean that a person of religious conviction is President.
I think Bush is a lousy President, but he's not a theocrat.
So far, we haven't developed a perpetual motion machine either. What's your point?
Who is forcing people to use the GPL? Who is forcing people to convert to Christianity?
I think you have a persecution complex.
"Live a good life and put out software as an example and hope others do the same without shackling them..."
Sounds like you're trying to "force" me to abide by your morals...

Uh huh, so I'm right, but you're still arguing.
Log in if you want to continue this discussion. Otherwise, HAND.
No.
