If this was a zero sum game, there would be a way of taking beer from one person and passing it to another. I would assume then that the beer is staying in the cans... Then again, last time I was in the USA, I thought the beer had already been reclaimed from someone else anyway!
I second the recommendation of AudioGalaxy... it's far too easy to find good music, so much so that I keep wondering if it's some kind of "honey pot" sting operation!
Join up - the more the merrier. I have about 2GB of weird stuff shared out right now.
You must be doing them wrong. CDex (with the Blade encoder), using VBR with 80-320kb/s, and the results are good for anything but audiophile reference purposes IMHO.
And Ogg Vorbis should turn out to be better in the end.
To me, this sounds like the kind of legal manvering employed by the "bad guys" in Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" - a form of financial obstruction strategy.
Of course, fully functioning adults understand that caveat emptor is the law in speculative financial dealings..!
I've been in Ireland for about a year now, after 8 years in England and 17 in South Africa. I find Ireland to be a lot like America is described: a place where the constitution says the right things, but the reality is somewhat different.
For example, it talks about absolute equality and freedom of religion, but a former colleague of mine had to resign and move back to England, after being subjected to racial and religious abuse (he's a Black Muslim).
Even worse, there isn't just a law against abortion, it's the Eighth Constitutional Amendment, so it's not surprising that abortion clinics near airports and ferry ports (e.g. Holyhead in Wales) enjoy the benefits (as allowed by the Fourteenth Amendment!).
Ireland actively promotes high-tech industry, which is why I'm here, and even passed a Digital Commerce bill that formally legalised Digital Signatures and the use of encryption without key escrow or legal requirements to hand over keys (Wired article here.
It's still happening - only two weeks ago, a UK journalist (for the News of the World tabloid) bought a pilot's uniform, blagged a valid pass, and filmed himself walking into Birmingham Airport carrying a briefcase full of tools (and the camcorder, of course, which could easily disguise a bomb). Story link here.
Why not? Well, wouldn't your life or health insurance companies like to know your pants size? A large pants size indicates you are overweight, meaning that you are at a higher risk of heart attacks and diabetes, and so they can charge you higher premiums (like they need an excuse)!
At least Emulex have Linux drivers for several of their PCI FC cards, which will also work on cards that use their chipsets.
Have a look at the docs for installing the LP8000 under Red Hat. (Source Code appears to be included.)
Everything after the card should be cross-platform anyway. I'm familiar with the Compaq StorageWorks stuff under NT, but a properly configured SAN looks like a bunch of SCSI drives to the server, which can do what it wants with them - no limitations on partition types etc. More SAN-specific functions are done through serial or telnet.
(I do not speak for any of the companies mentioned.)
In the UK, at least, the Performing Right Society handles this sort of thing. Their inspectors go around to pubs and restaurants asking to see the PRS license, and can levy fines if they find a violation.

Compaq hot-swap drivers? See opensource.compaq.com, under "PCI Hot Plug for Linux".

Um, that's the same as the one at the top, which still works fine. I did check these things...
Are you kidding? We'll need this much horsepower to run Windows CE 4.0...

Hacking Gibsons? Pete Townshend was excellent at that, but Jimi Hendrix was was even better at hacking up Fender Strats!
I don't mean to be pedantic, but don't you mean "Sneak Peek"? 8{
