  1. Re:Show me... on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    It doesn't really matter what you do. Corporations use Access because it's what they are used to. These guys don't care if it costs money. Marketing and management types WASTE money for a living. All of your efforts will be appreciated by many, but Linux office apps will NEVER be used in the majority of bigger offices/corporations.

    Hrmm, That was just an example. I don't think he got permission for every song that he has done. I won't get in a big debate about this, but every like 15 of 17 songs on his CD's are not his original material. And you have a good point about Jimmy Page (I have no idea why he did that, publicity stunt?).

    Try live wire http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/p2p A friend of mine has used it and says you can find AND download as many songs as you could when Napster was in it's prime.

    Good point. How about the ones that rip off entire songs like Puff Daddy stealing Kashmir. He probably made millions off of that song and didn't write one note of music. He probably didn't even write the lyrics (even though a monkey could do that). And for you young-uns out there, Kashmir was written by Jimmy Page (and maybe Robert Plant, not sure, don't have my CD in front of me) of Led Zepplin, NOT Puff Daddy. And when I saw Jimmy Page up there playing guitar with him, I almost threw up from disgust.

    There are a few other clients out there now with just as many users as Napster. The members of Metallica are so stupid. While they are sitting there in court over Napster, 400 people are downloading their very own mp3's of "The newest Metallica letdown" on Gnutella.
