Haven't seen the latter part of your statement, but I think all three of them are on record re: the first part. Having said that, the latter part of your statement definitely sounds like something Cobain would say. Of course, he'd also say "barglenarglenarwr."
Yeah: that's what I said, but avoided the use of "satire" and "parody" lest the pundits catch me unawares;).
Chances are really good that the "one other" you think you've heard is something by someone else (item number one on his FAQ) -- Al has said that his biggest fear about downloading music is that people will (intentionally or not) label their works as his, and it'll spread through the p2pnets and people will attribute to him what is not actually his. A quick litmus test is if the song is not "family friendly". All of his songs (satire or parody) are a strong G or a mild PG. No drug discussion, no frank sex discussion, etc. It's a pretty well established thing that the Nirvana song is the only song where he directly satires the original work.
Lastly, if you keep reading down that FAQ, he sorta kinda refers to the songs he doesn't write himself as parodies, so that uh, sorta invalidates your arguement.
I completely disagree, particularly when we are talking about Weird Al.
Fun fact: the only song he has ever written that directly apes the source material is "Smells Like Nirvana". All the rest of his songs deal with topics that are unrelated to the source material (and largely deal with food, a subject to which everyone can relate.) I have never heard the source for "White and Nerdy", but I'll be damned if I need to appreciate it to dig his send-up. Does "Safety Dance" have anything to do with "The Brady Bunch" or vice/versa? No.
Gmail is still in beta. So, you can complain about having lost email, but then again, you're using a beta product.
No, I don't care that it's in a state of permanent beta. As has been pointed out before: 1. do something better than your competitors 2. call it "beta" forever so you don't have to support anything other than reading bug reports 3. profit!
Er... My wife buys tons of songs on itunes and I can't listen to them
Right click on the song in iTunes. Select "convert to mp3". Move file onto your device. (After all, it's still a storage medium and a file.) Tada.
Barring that: (much slower) Build a playlist in iTunes of the protected songs you want. Switch to that playlist view, insert a cdr, and click "burn." Go to another computer, import as you would a normal cd and move to device.
I don't understand why people overthink Mac stuff.
Just confirming, Handbrake will indeed do this. It's especially good on TV series discs and I wouldn't necc use this on feature film dvds because (IME) it wants to make each chapter individual files.
Yeah; they are pretty cool. There's a lot of detractors out there but when I had my PSP I really didn't mind watching movies on it, or using the video out for a standard def tv. I didn't get it to play movies though -- I got it for games (primarily GTA:VCs and GTA:LCs) and it definitely was good for that:).
I wouldn't call it a gimmick -- I always used scrye as a flashlight. Of course, I can see how you would think it wasteful if you only used it when the game prompted you to. God, just thinking about that game still gives me the creeps.
... resolves them as a "hostile" IP range. How interesting and (Alanis) ironic; someone that PGLabs views as "hostile" managed to distribute a high content of data seamlessly over the internet.
Plus I get a nap on the plane, try that while driving. This reminds me of an old saying: I want to go out like my grandfather, peacefully asleep, and not like his passengers.
Heck, I rip Metallica mp3s just for spite. Rip 'em, then uncheck them in iTunes. Actively push them on people, too... "Hey, take this Rasputina and uh... some Metallica, yeah."
Although I agree that the charges Bliz brings is bogus, I wish to god that someone would squash that guy, or at least have his bot net of spamdrones leave me the hell alone in game!
If Pirates of Silicon Valley is to be believed, MS more or less started out with the intent of making software for Apple -- at least in the case of Office.
That's what I took away from it (well, germaine to this discussion at least).

I'm pretty sure that statement was around a long time before 4chan. Just because they pick it up doesn't mean they invented it.
And aside from that, as is said in Enemy Mine, Truth is Truth.
Yeah: that's what I said, but avoided the use of "satire" and "parody" lest the pundits catch me unawares ;).

Satire is MAD magazine, parody is ... Weird Al.

I said good day, sir!
Silly. Everyone knows that caps lock is cruise control for "cool."

They can just replace them with walkie-talkies.
Right?

Yeah, just like when we say "Playstation" we always mean "PS3", because the PS2 has been long dead.

UMD is not a card. The D is for disk. So, not so much on the Sony portable.

Make sure you have it set up right in your options panel ... took me a few days to figure that one out.
Saw the original in theaters, can point out the hidden Mickey Mouse. Inspired me to become an avid gamer. /end of line
Those are not the mod points you are looking for.
You don't need to use that contraction here.
Because it's sexy.

It's still DRM music
Yep, sure shows you don't use ITMS. Nice jeorb there.
Your completely anectdotal post? Not so much.
