is this by ID3 tags or by filenames or what? i have a great deal of digitized (ogg) LPs that are named "~/albums/Artist/AlbumTitle/xx - trackname". there's not even playlists, because i'm lazy and added xmms to open-with for directories in nautilus. how will audioscrobbler respond to me playing those tracks?
at my school, a kid needed to copy a file home. ok, email yourself. after *finally* getting to aol's (ugh) web-based new mail, i was asked who to send it to? umm...to yourself. he types "to myself" and isn't making a joke.

Shutting down Kazaa
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
i've been on linux using gtk-gnutella for awhile now, so i haven't really kept up with kazaa. but what you've just pointed out to me is very interesting, and i think threatens users.
kazaa makes money via file-sharing. users don't. however, by getting these "i am not a leech!" points, users are offering their services in exchanging for kazaa's services. this makes users subject to litigation that isn't just the usual riaa bullcrap, because they can argue that what the users are doing is commercial exchange. users' uploading services pay for kazaa's downloading services; kazaa's downloading services pay for the users' uploading services.
IANAL, but as i understand things, this gives validity to suing individual users (of kazaa).
just to complain sometimes i tune the radio to z100 and say listen it's z100, tune it to ktu and say listen it's ktu. they say: "but it's the same song."
seriously, sometimes songs are played within a second or two of one another.
and holidays oh my god fucking holidays the same 5 songs on every station in cycle.
you want creative random music, but think playlists can't offer it? get a life and ask your friends about any oggs they recommend. (okay, probably mp3s, but this is/. so there have to be people like me who delete their mp3s and go searching around for the old scratched CDs i should have put back in the goddamn cases). plugins, p2p, launchcast, why not just go and ask to borrow someone's cd and see if you like it? then add it to your playlist. every couple cds, you'll get that wonderful new good song, and you'll have control of it, unlike radio or "music" television. (and btw, this is legal. though i wonder how they're gonna react to me encoding 500+ LPs my dad has, even though i can't bear 490 of them, just because i can)

good. schools should build computers and teach the students how. it should be a course: "cheap and powerful computer labs 101"
How is that possible? Even if Google has 99.99999% traffic from all searches, the 0.00001% used search engine can still scan just as much of the web as Google can.

never heard of mplayer? works wonders. quicktime, windows media, real, and the list goes on. once plugins are written that use mplayer, windows will be at a media disadvantage.

they charge $20 EXTRA for floppy drives now, and most of us still are forced to use them (though not myself because i have broadband, linux, and sshd)
A g4 to a dual-xeon isn't a fair comparison!
