...the global market is far larger than the chinese one.
If nobody else wants to be the market leader in just China, I'll volunteer. It will be a struggle selling to a market with over a billion people but I'll struggle along somehow.

There's nothing about "new" mentioned anywhere in there, you pulled that out of your ass just so you could complain.
Merriam-Webster defines news as "a report of recent events". If Slashdot is "News for Nerds" then an article from over a year ago ain't news.
Cynical businessmen have looted the Disney legacy, with classy projects such as "Peter Pan 2", "Hunchback 2", "Cinderella 2", "Aladdin: The Series" etc.
Know who's responsible for most of that crap? David Stainton, the Harvard MBA Disney put in charge of Feature Animation.
Perhaps (and this is only a perhaps) the MS product will have superior integration with XP, in the way that the iPod has been successfully integrated with Apple's OS, and support for WMA files, and an iTunish online product that works well with XP also.
Didn't Apple already do that with iTunes (except the WMA part)?
I was a manager for a while (it was a dot-com so it wasn't like I was a real manager. They hired a VP who offered me a promotion (to Director or some such nonsense) but I'd be expected to work a lot longer because the VP was a workaholic. I turned down the promotion and went back to coding. I kept my life and soon his wife left his.

America's also more successful than the EU and those who choose to work hard in America enjoy a higher standard of living.
I think the definition of success is open to debate. Eight weeks of vacation sounds pretty successful to me.
The idea wasn't to make the DRM completely foolproof (it would never be) but to put up some obstacles that most people wouldn't spend the time to get around. Hence the 10 burns per playlist (but nothing to stop you from just duplicating the CD).
Universal's new pricing virtually destroys any cost benefit to downloading
No it doesn't. If I want only one song from a CD I can either waste money and buy the whole CD or I can head over to iTMS and buy the single track for a buck. I can even buy just a few tracks and it's still cheaper than the whole CD. That's one of the great things about the service.

I bet the Chinese government will somehow find a way to crack down on EVD player manufacturers that don't pay their license fees.

What Stainton says is one thing. What he did was lay off all the CAPS departments. CAPS is gone (thought it may be coming back--stay tuned).
If there was a decent way to only rip the audio from one chapter of a DVD...
Audio Hijack.
What? All I see is a graphic for Pepsi. McDonalds is nowhere to be found. Hello?
Just last night I had Metallica over for a set...
Now that Lars is using a pie tin for his kit, this is actually possible.
Actually, the oldest use I could find in Google Groups turned 20 last month.

Add a used iMac instead and you can play your iTMS purchases.
Seriously. I have an iTrip and, while it's great for long trips in the van with the family, it's nothing you want to use with your home stereo.
The iMac I am going to be hooking up to my stereo soon will have one of these attached to it. Is this what you're looking for?
Substitute used iMac for the SliMP3s and you can play AAC and Protected AACs from iTMS.
The clients are $600 each. I can get two used iMacs for that and they can play AAC and Protected AAC from iTMS, too. Something this system can't do.
SCO has patented not working so we'd all get sued.

Dear Slash Coders,
Can we have an RTFA -1 moderation thingie? For a rationale, please see parent post.

You mean Print->Save as PDF...?
And OpenOffice is definitely worth every penny.
rebooted or not, why would Metallica suddenly feel good about a product named 'Napster'?
Metallica seems to care about money a whole lot these days so I'm sure they have their price (which seems to get lower all the time).
