There may be a first for everything, but I doubt it in this case. Their 7 year track record of taking from people and giving to business makes it very difficult to agree with you.
I think you should generalize less. I'm one of those dreaded ideologues and I probably spend somewhere between $500-1000 each year on new music. I haven't downloaded a song I didn't pay for in over 5 years. It just isn't worth the dollars in time to hunt for an album when I can just buy the thing, have it 2 minutes later and spend my time doing something else. Typical/. users, likely to be on the higher-side of the wage scale, probably do the same.
Actually, never mind. For a moment, I thought you were a real person, having spent the time to return and respond to my comment (you bookmark your AC trolls, I see). However, re-reading your comments made me realize my mistake. Instead, I think I'll submit a suggestion to CmdrTaco to change the "Post Anonymously" check box to a drop down list with three options: Post As User, Post Anonymously, Astroturf. The need is clear.
Enough of this phony, pseudo-ideological nonsense. Most of you care nothing about how much the RIAA pays artists. Talking about it all the time just helps you with your cognitive dissonance and makes it okay that you steal music.
Based on TFA, it would appear that in this case the RIAA are the ones doing the stealing. Oh well. Here's to hoping you are paid by the word.
At any rate, did you mean pseudo-intellectual nonsense? Pseudo-ideological nonsense might actually end up making sense.
You misunderstand. I get the joke. My point was the lack of funny. I also have yet to see 24. Somehow, I think we're better off this way. Watching a Lost Boy chase terrorists around FOX's idea of America isn't my idea of a good time.;)

But really, I don't think that it's fair to equate collaboration with Microsoft, with collaboration with the Nazis.
:)
You started it.
I mean, the Nazis never would have released ME.
And what a release it was. I still head for the nearest window every time I catch a whiff.
Only if I can tag your comment 'Godwin'.
Wake me up when they find a moon orbiting a ring.

Just in case.
Gotta love those 2 day old troll mods, long after the discussion is dead. I guess my foe list is longer than I thought. ;)
Ok, I admit you make a good case for censorship. Your demonstration was very effective.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you are calling for anything to be censored, the thing that should be censored is you.

IMO, protection not explicitly requested is itself a form of oppression.
So do we.
Allow me to offer a solution, inspired by our friends in the storage industry:
1024 MIPS = 1 GIPS
1000 MIPS = 1 GiPS
With that many Linux machines working together you could probably emulate a mainframe.
Just imagine a beowulf cluster of these. It would make my head explode.
Okay, but you asked for it.
Fingerprint + Children = bad combo.
Especially when considering the Finger Paint and Booger factors.
They did the name in .NET.
You owe me one LCD monitor and a new cup of coffee. :)
And you know what? That probably suits Bilbo just fine.
spammers deserve no quarter, and if a few innocents must fall in the war against them...
You make your own chain-mail. Am I right?
I can't wait to see how this affects my software design analogies. :)
the more attractive they make Apple
Why Apple? They force crap down their users' throats just as often as Microsoft.
