You got a point there, i personally really liked the Heinlein/Niven books. Several things annoy me about this one though, especially the absence of the really important factors like the benne gesserit.
US economy stronger than european? Yeah right, thats why America has 140% more depts than most EU coutry's, BTW I'm using cable connection and currently share 1006 songs on napster.
Finally i get to comment on this stupid american school system, where sports are more important than intelligence. What kind of idiot ever invented that being good at sports makes you university-material? Here in holland college is devided in several different systems, as in learning people what they can/need to learn together with people of the same level of intelligence.
When was the last time you signed a contract without reading it? Only idiots do that. If people get fucked in the ass for being stupid, it is their own fault. Maybe i'm not getting the whole idea here, not being an american, but if you don't read contracts before you sign them, you deserve to be nailed.
Good point, people like you will help artists if they like them. But i have no interrest to make music for all those script-kiddies out there who dl all music they like and never pay for it. It's not that i hate people who try/test if my music is their taste, i just dont feel like making music for people who dont want to give anything in return. By this i dont mean money allone, i can pay my bills with my normal job, but feedback or just a mail with "i liked your music" is really better than:"your song has been downloaded X times" and never hearing from anybody any more.
Yeah right, THATS why they sign the contract, to OWE money to the record company...Think man, they get money from the record company, also they get airplay and support from the company. If an artist wouldnt get a good deal with a record company they wouldnt sign the deal.
This is really nice for all those americans artist out there. But for me, being a dutch artist it is a bunch of crap. In holland i have the copyright of MY music. Thanks to napster&co i don't get payed for my music as well. I fully agree with you that the american system sucks, but why does this solution also hurt artist that don't have contacts with big labels??
size doesnt matter, the stream of electrons already in your computer, better known as electrics is already manipulatable, just think of this as the next step. By the way do YOU know the size of a electron????????
Which right do you think you have then? The right to steal music? The right to violate other peoples copyrights? The right to not pay for someone elses hard work? Please tell me,you sound like an idi0t right now.
I must agree, what idiot did the math on most comments here? "We will steal the music so the record company doesnt get our money, the artist will not suffer" Where does the artist get payed from??????? Most artist get payed a basic wage AND royalties, they need the record companies to survive bad years. I have performed for more than 4 years now, made 2 albums and got payed for making the second. Please know what you are talking about.
Ps: my songs are (hopefully) not on napster.
I Have @home (Netherlands), there was a note with the installation that You should NOT:
1:share files.
2:run unknown files.
Further they said they did not have a firewall or port block (i checked:they are right)
Personally i use a linux box as server/router. It has its own protection....People should read the f*cking manual.
I do not know who moderated this, but he does make some interresting points. The only reason to download mp3's in my eyes is to try out an artist. Still i buy cd's because i like the artist.
Having a discipline problem is normal for puberty, you cannot hit 14 jear olds any more, very small children (ages 2-6) might learn from physical punnishment if you use it with care and are consequent. Physically punishing older children doesn't work because they think in an other way.
Ps:what does god have to do with this at all??????

I must agree, i am a bit of a lucky guy who was able to frag his father since the age of 12. At home we loved to play computergames(we loved all games apart from risk, where we had war over the rules). it is far more fun and interaction than tv can ever be.

Do NOT use 2 the same cards, it gives driver conflicts. Please use a good first card and something like a virge card as second card.

You might want to try the diamond wireless solution called homefree. www.diamondmm.com It works perfectly inhouse.
Maybe the poster meant programs like "word" or games, not programs used for driver or hardware purposes...
