Alright, I might be way off base here, but if I own a copy of a CD, am I allowed to download an mp3 of that song? or am I only allowed to make an mp3 from the one that I bought? i.e. the cd?
AFAIK, only from the CD you bought.
And if so, how does putting mp3s up on a server consitute being illegal? If you're offering it to people who own the CD. (The people who don't would be infringing copyright and not you.)
They could get you for encouraging others to break the law. It's a grey area.
That said, I download r0mz and w4r3z as part of the process of testing and improving Dapple ][. Were it not for warez and romz, I wouldn't have it as far as it is today.
Yeah, I've seen 'em. The side, which on US boxes has some fine print, says in BIG LETTERS something like "Smoking causes death" something really simple, like *first-grade* English. Need I say more?

Being that a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, [lest that militia become too powerful] the people must be guaranteed the right to own and carry weapons of any type.
What I'd like to see, personally, is a *x clone (Linux or *BSD, doesn't matter) that
fits in its most basic state on a 1.44 MB floppy, with a little bit of breathing room, so I can download it onto a floppy, transfer it to my (DOS) HDD, and then blit it back out.
supports access over the COM: ports.
does PPP (both ways, incoming and outgoing), and possibly telnet, ftp, Berkeley Mail or somesuch, and maybe lynx (so I can use it to connect to the outside world).
contains something like nano for a text editor.
allows me to install software on a separate hard disk partition (including it?).
It would be ideal for me. Maybe a few zips I can download 1.3 MB at a time and transfer to my own PC could then supply a C compiler and an X Window implementation. Ah, the benefits of small software.
We're guaranteeed by the Bill of Rights the right to "KEEP AND BEAR ARMS" - I'd say - if the Bill of Rights is infringed, we should consider the US dissolved! What are arms? I have the right to have my own fscking MISSILE SILO if I so choose. Full of fscking NUCLEAR WARHEADS. Hey, "Keep and Bear Arms" ! And I don't give a fsck about anyone who disagrees with me.:E

Hmm, anyone want to help me get EDLIN 1 running on CP/M-86? *g*
You can get even closer to ASM with some compilers which let you diddle registers, raw-access memory and I/O ports and call interrupts.
Turbo C r0x0r!
That's an absolute *must* if you're writing for CP/M-86, by the way, where there is no Turbo C runtime. *g*

Anything slower than T3 is not "broadband", it's "midband". Broadband is the buzzword du jour, but it's not the right buzzword.

There are instances of democracy (i.e., initiative and referendum on legal issues) throughout the US. California, mainly, I think.
(Initiative+referendum) == democracy.
But the ability of the people to vote does not a democracy make. We have never been a democracy.
