If the CD you want isn't copy protected, no problem. Just by the CD.
If it is copy protected, you could protest the use of copy protected CDs by not buying it. Otherwise you could possibly rip it with cdparanoia, or you can always do an analog copy. You could also download the MP3s off the net if you already own the album. I'm pretty sure that's not illegal anywhere.
Of course, if you only want single tracks and not full albums, then buying CDs won't help.
1) I don't understand why you feel sorting and sharing photos would be difficult from a command line. Maybe you mean inability to view images? If so, nobody says a CLI has to be incapable of display images.
2) Notepad+Windows Calculator=Excel? Use the right tool for the right job. There are some very good spreadsheets programs based on CLIs.
3) LaTeX makes very good presentations if it's conveying information clearly you are interested in. For the flashy stuff, I'm not aware of a good CLI presentation tool. Perhaps something with an AutoCad-like GUI/CLI hybrid would be best suited to this purpose. This would allow for visual editting while retaining the simplicity of commands.
4) Once again, CLI doesn't mean that there isn't any graphics. In fact, many FPS games contain an in-game CLI.... go figure. Also, Nethack is kinda fun.:)
5) For simple "play this file", it doesn't get much easier than typing "mpg123 file.mp3". For something more advanced, Commands can be combined to get the disired playlist, or one of the many CLI jukebox programs could be used.
I hope I have not come off as some anti-GUI zealot. I believe that graphical interfaces are very necessary. For many jobs, they are the best (or even the only possible) tool for the task. However, I also think that many tasks people use GUIs for could be done much more easily in a CLI. Probably many applications could benefit from a hybrid solution. Once again I have to say that AutoCad is a very good example of this.
Bang on! The union of CLI and GUI in AutoCad has to make it my choice for best designed interface. The full power of both worlds, and none of the crap. The real beauty is being able to switch between CLI stuff (typing commands, coordinates, etc) to GUI stuff (selecting objects, moving on grids, etc) totally seamlessly. It lets you always use the best tool for the task. Anyone looking to design the next generation of interfaces should definately take some hints from this one!
I'm a power user by all definitions of the word. I have used both CLI and GUI environments extensively. I have a lot of experience with both Linux and Windows. Both a GUI and a CLI can be horribly "undiscoverable". I have wasted many hours hunting around menus and options of Microsoft's products just to find one stupid checkbox. I have also wasted many hours on CLI tasks, although usually due to me being stubborn and wanting to find the "best" way to do something rather than just solution that works.
A good GUI is discoverable. A good CLI is also discoverable (as evidenced in the article by users who quickly learned to use man, --help, -h, tab completion, etc). The real problem is that a good GUI is INCREDIBLY difficult and time consuming to make. A good CLI, on the other hand, is quite simple to make.
No doubt about it, analog scopes are great in most situations (even superior). However, in some situations a digital storage scope can be extremely helpful. Standalone digital scopes tend to be very expensive. So, if storage is an important feature to the poster, then PC based scopes might actually be the best option. If storage isn't that big of a deal, then analog would probably be a better option.
Start off with a diploma, and see if you can land a job with that. As long as you can convince someone in an interview that you have what it takes, you don't need the degree. Especially as your work ethic, etc has already been proven through other schooling and experience.
Or perhaps you could design a system that uses cryptography to develop a web of trust between email users.... Oh wait, that's already been done (gpg/pgp).
Ummm, there's nothing wrong with a 555 timer chip. If you don't need a high precision timing circuit, a 555 does an excellent (and very reliable) job. In fact, in a most cheap products that use a 555, it is probably one of the least likely to fail components. Integrated circuits in general tend to be very reliable run within specs. Failures are far more often due to things like mechanical problems, heat distribution, and faulty electrolytic capacitors.
or you just run the latest bind and use delegation-only. Then you actually properly filter Versign's junk and get back an NXDOMAIN no matter what client program you are using.
These things have been around for ages. Pop music is all filled with auto-tuned vocals. Its quite obvious if you can putty up with the music long enough to listen for it. There are some good creative uses for auto-tuning, but making vocals sound natural is certainly not one of them.

Or you could just use tar, and avoid that pesky time consuming compression.
How exactly is this geared to women? Seems like every other printer on the planet, but with a useless handle.

Everyone knows it's written by Bill Gate's mole-man army.
I wouldn't really say this is a novel idea. It seems kind of obvious to me. Worm leaves a gaping hole...write something to exploit gaping hole. duh.
Blocklists don't catch everything. Many people are using other filters as a second stage, after the blocklist.

Except the problem is that your computer still ASKED to get the ad, you just didn't know it.

There is a thread about this vulnerability on bugtraq. I would suggest you go there for first hand info.

Yeah, those PC oil changes are a real pain.
This is not optimal in a full duplex situation. Only one side is talking at a time.
Is anyone aware of an online music store service that offers files in lossless compression?
Actually, this wouldn't be that hard. Just stick in some raw audio data of you saying hello world as a constant.
You mean patented. That would be ridiculous. A patent for putting a wav header on a file?

good thing the people submitting ebuilds don't share your opinions.
Thats interesting, I learned to set up mutt to use GPG in about 5 minutes.
mutt can grep through your messages......
