many a time I have wanted a copy of the concert I justattended, it would be a huge success, because of the rush of just seeing the show, and all the memories it would bring back a year down the road...
You cant even get people to use a simple user friendly system like Windows right, what makes you think they will want to learn something more complicated?
dont bitch about Linux not being popular, but then want to resrict it so the average Joe doesnt want it. You cant have it both ways
...about this whole thing is the government, especially most of the States, dont spend the money they get wisely in the first place, so we are going to give them MORE money?
For the last 10 years in Oklahoma the population grew at about 6%, government spending grew at about 70%, now there is a budget shortfall and the want to raise taxes!
Most listeners aren't going to be paying for an album that they can download for free, either legally or illegally.
that is flat out not true, most customers LIKE having a physical medium, even though more mp3 players are becoming available, people still like to have the liner note, they like something tangeble.
that I grew up in a world not dominated by computers, I learned to read, write, research, spell (well most of the time anyway), & do basic math in my head.
Now I find myself relying on spell checker to fix my spelling errors, a search engine to find information, and a calculator to do math. These are all great tools, but without the basic knowledge behind them, they become a crutch.
and looking at school test scores, they aren't being used as tools.
in fact this is the second such site in two weeks, MSNBC and the BBC both carried these earlier (MSNBC last weekand the BBC early this week)
If Slashdot is just now getting to this, why bother? I would hope that the users are informed enough already to catch this kind of thing for one as well as reading the mainstream news.
My wife is a big Duran Duran fan, so Ive heard it all. when they FIRST came out they weren't good, (at least to our ears at the time and the definition of good) they were pop trash. since that time we can look back and say, yeah they had some good stuff. the same WILL be said about BS in a few years.
"Well you know why popular music scene is full of "artists" like Britney Spears? It's because of people like them stealing music and destroying the chances of decent musicians."
puleeze, commercial acts like Britney have been around LONG before P2P "pirates". ever hear of Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran or Poison? the good acts will ALWAYS be drowned out by the more commercially viable acts. P2P actually increases the distribution of the good acts, as there is no commitment up front to spend money on an album that you know nothing about.
at the place I work we have 3 full time people monitoring an expensive piece of spam filtering software. so if may save a couple of minutes of time off of the other 500 people, those 3 have been pulled from other duties to take care of the task...
as cheap as older pentium machines are
on
Ultima 7 in Windows?
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
why not just purchase one of those and install all the old games you love?
pricewatch has a pentium 166 listed at 48.00 including shipping!
I dont care anymore, most music comeing out is crap, the older stuff isnt affected (yet), I have over 400 (legally purchased) cds, 300 LPs, and 500 casstettes. some independent bands really show us what they have and Ill buy their music directly from them. the older stuff Ill just buy at used music stores/pawn shops
I submitted this earlier (and it was rejected), but it seems two Chinese citizens were executed for experssing their opinions on the internet, while countless others have been detained and tortured, the Chinese wont hear about it though because its on a blocked site.

actually the x is two strokes upperleft to lower right, then upper right to lower left.
everything else you say is correct, I was referring to the fact that only the 4 letters mentioned are not one stroke letters in cursive.
x t i & j what other characters are out there that cannot be written in a single stroke? (think cursive here)

What would Jesus shoot?
... and if he has no sword, let him sell his cloak to buy one.
Lu. 22:37.
the sword was the assault weapon of Jesus day, just as the musket was the assault weapon in the days of the Constitution.
The 2nd Amendment applys to citizens that they can have weapons that the standard soldier may have to defend themselves.
