The moment someone on the web cannot link to copyrighted material anymore (which is as stupid as not being allowed to have a referencelist in the back of a book) there's going to be very little left to link to.
I agree, but this isn't about linking. This is about google copying content to their own server and redistributing it.
None of those things are advangtages, except perhaps independently steerable. But I'd much rather have a pod take me where I want to go without interaction than have to sit and concentrate on the road the whole way.
Wow, you are right. I followed some links from this guy's blog, and I don't think he can keep a coherent thought together long enough to type it without interspersing random nonsense, not to mention some of the most egregious spelling I've seen lately. I almost suspect that there is no Michael P. O'Connor.
I was particularly amused by his "spread sheet to compare 3 of the candidates, Michael Peroutka, GW Bush, and just to be fair John Kerry." at http://www.mikeoconnor.net/blog/?postid=181. Hmmmm.. I wonder who will win?
Finally, yes, you can start with covering "five blocks" and if there are listeners, there will be advertisers. And with advertisers, there will be money for expansion.
I got 4 different BitTorrent clients, in succession, in an attempt to get the Jon Stewart on Crossfire clip. All of them downloaded part of it very quickly (all different amounts too), then stalled, in some cases for days. I never ran two clients simultaneously, or attempted to save files in the same location between clients.

Fantastic! Glad to see a post by you Roland! You see, I really enjoy absolute shit, so I am glad to see another of your presumably bought and paid for fluff stories.
You could just as easily say that the joke in question was specifically referring to one person working in tech support. Apu is defined by a stereotype. I'm not defending or attacking it, but he is a one dimensional character defined by stereotype.
Spare us your righteous indignation. Please. Many people who speak english non-natively speak with incorrect grammar.
Do you deny this? Is it racist?
Just because he made a reference to outsourcing doesn't mean it was racist. You can hear whatever you want if you are listening for it, but there was nothing inherently racist about that. For all you know, he prefers broken english.
This is not a result of tooth decay, rather an intentional choice. See Lil Jon et al. So you see, there is no need for you to be ashamed, since this won't happen to you on less you do it purpose. I infer from your tone that you probably wouldn't pay to have this done, so I'd say you are safe.
As if the mere presence of a single word suddenly makes a song so shitty that it deserves your mocking quotation marks.
"I mean, hey, it would have been a great song, I mean really fantastic, but now since it has the word fuck in it, I can't even call it music without using my righteous quotes of indignation"

You are right about the phrase "indie band". I should not have used that. What I was trying to communicate was about the mindset of many of the fans, not the band. As an aside, I have absolutely against Radiohead. I haven't heard all their albums, but I like what I've heard. Anyway, I was trying communicate that Radiohead seems to have a large following of fans who like them, at least in part, because "no one's ever heard of them", which is clearly not true, regardless of how they've done in the charts.
I did not convey this accurately in my post, so thanks for pointing that out.

It's Wilco. It's Radiohead. It's the Roots. It's thousands of artists you've never heard of and likely never will.
Get off your ego trip. "You've never heard of"? Give me a break. If I didn't have the rest of your post for context, I'd assume you were a troll. A very prominent local music store that I pass several times a week has had massive displays featuring both Radiohead and Wilco, and never once for Britney or N-Sync, or any of their ilk for that matter. You're not nearly as far ahead of the curve as you seem to believe you are.
Furthermore, if you're trying to give examples of bands without raving fanboys, Radiohead is definitely not a good example. Radiohead is the poster "indie band". Some Radiohead fans seem nearly as bad as the screaming masses pictured on TRL. "OMG!! Thom York!!!!! He's so awesome!!!@#!".
Yeah, only it's 2004 this time! I know there are a lot of old stories on slashdot, but if you're suggesting running those stories instead, I think they are a little too old.
People will never stop making music, even if they have to completely subsidize it themselves. Well, some people might stop, especially those that are exclusively in it for the money. Everyone else might slow down, but there are many true fans of music for it to disappear. MTV and radio might go away in some extreme case, but I guess I don't see that as a bad thing. I have sunk probably close to $10k into being a musician. (the curious can hear a recent track at http://www.tomtheisen.com/Radiant.mp3)
I'm not planning on quitting my day job, nor am I quitting music. It's already very difficult to make money, much less a living off music, but there are certainly no shortage of musicians. Many of them play music for their own satisfaction.
I'm not saying people should pirate music, since high quality recording and mastering can definitely be expensive. But pirating will never cause musicians to cease playing. That's like saying people would stop playing video games if the big tournaments stopped offering cash prizes. Most people don't make money on it to begin with.
It's already been stated by another poster, but 30 degrees is not a "small hill". It is a gargantuan monstrosity of a hill. I have seen precious few paved roads in my life at this incline. This would be a 50% grade, whereas most cyclists would consider a comparatively "tame" 20% grade to be pretty brutal. If any battery powered vehicle can carry a human up this sort of incline for any significant distance at any speed > 0, I would consider that a major achievement.
Once you start riding, you might be surprised to see how quickly you lose the ass. It won't happen overnight, but I am sure you or anyone else would be able to gradually lose weight, increase endurance and general health, even if starting from a very low level.

Yes, I have. On many occasions. And it was no problem.

So far most crack authors have been very good about being minimalist and unintrusive, but someday, with some crack, they're going to fuck you.
As early as 3 years ago, I had seen warez installers that came bundled with stealth ftp servers and backdoor zombie agents.
Did I say I saw? I mean, it was... a good friend of mine... I tried telling him to use legitimate software, but you know how those warez monkeys are.
Not because I think he's a better man, but he's hella better than Bush.
What. The. Fuck.
You think what? But you don't think what? I feel a nonsense induced coma coming on.
i suspect cds are more flexible than cars. You can usually bend a cd at least 90 degrees end to end before causing damage. Try that with a car.

Sure. A percentage of his ad revenue ought to cover it.

Verify your facts before posting.
That way, I won't have to do it for you.
You are correct. I interpreted your comment as an attack against java which was my mistake, which I made due in part to divisive attitudes about java.
