Care to show us your license to practice psychiatry &/or psychology, or your PhD in those fields, since you see fit to psychoanalyze others?
Oh, you don't have one??
Quick to judge, and make assumptions with no facts at all. I hope you don't live that way in real life. It would be a setup for a miserable one if you do..
And this is/. i really don't need to prove anything here.
Every country has their road-bumps to get over, we are currently going thru one. It does not mean we don't prefer what i just said and are still more free then anyone else around..
So, go crawl back under your socialist rock with your smart ass comments, and have a nice day.
But so is having a free market. So is having constitutional rights. I could go on, but you see the point.
We prefer to be as free as possible, and not live under an oppressive government ( or government blessed monopolies ).. But if Australians want to have their lives restricted/controlled to this extent, then have at it, its their right..
What might happen is the RIAA becomes the key holder. They are invested into keeping the servers alive to keep people buying the 'music' and might just step up to keep in control.
Sort of like how Microsoft holds the 'keys' even tho you buy their products from a reseller.
I want it to go away as much as anyone, but i am not naive enough to think this is the end. This is just a minor skirmish in a much longer war.
If enough people get burnt from companies pulling the plug on their music (books, games, etc), and have it effectively die, perhaps this wont just be a aberration and turn into a real trend where people refuse to buy encumbered files to begin with..
I know its a real long shot, but i can still hope, right?
Yet more proof that government is for the corporation, not the people. Too bad by the time the average joe is effected by this it will be far too late.
I will be willing to bet this is not the only thing that slips thru the side door while everyone watches the banking fiasco. ( like the automotive bailout...)

Yes, but vista + Microsoft i would think would be odd.
Several people said from the beginning it was a bad idea, so no real surprise here.
Ubuntu in 2001? VIsta in 2001?
How odd.
Sure, and operating within proper parameters means it wont be.
I have Z80's that are nearly 30 years old and don't miss a beat. They should last another 30 without question.
Why should my video card going up in smoke in a few months be acceptable?
Idiot.
The holy grail, the return to the days of the mainframe ( in concept ) where you can charge your customers for *anything* they do.
No pay, no play.
To be zero for many as they give the ISPS's the finger over the next few years and drop off line.
Considering bandwidth use is increasing by leaps and bounds by EVERYONE, i disagree this only penalizes the 'hard core users'.
Solid state devices should last decades.

And you say i have problems. You need professional help. Seriously.

Perhaps for him its all blurry....

Just means we would reach our cap that much sooner. And of course, the ISP's would just go off and over sell that too.
With more people that will do the same?
No, but its pretty damned close. And if you don't try to do anything about it today, it might as well be.

Ultimately, to the corporations, we are.
You should be glad we give you a job in the first place. Now, quit whining and get back to work before you are replaced.
The previous release wouldn't do that with my e260 which was a shame. I didn't dare risk my ipod however.
Because it was a pain to get running just to find it didn't do 1/2 the things to make it useable.
it makes more sense to ask here for facts from people who have tried it, then to once gain spend the time just to be disappointed.
And again i did say it was a nice work in progress, i don't think that would qualify as slamming it.
We just suggest our wishes to the electoral college. There is no law that i know of that demands they have to do as we ask.
We don't live n a democracy, never have.
