those ads are not fraud. the one about the IP address is true. its a bit sensational, but its no more than everything else in the US. I dont understand why we should call this fraud to compensate for people's stupidity. just because they can click it doenst mean they should. and just because mass of AOL idiots get online, doesnt mean we should dumb down the internet for their lack of intelligence.
i know we're headed stragiht for it, but we need to stop internet laws. for the past 10 years its been free flowing mass, democratizing the world. yet when something like a popup ad annoys people, they want to sue. i dont understand it. i thought the people here were against any regulation of the internet.
Come on! How is 9.99 expensive?! I think CDs are more than worth 9.99. Has anyone else noticed the recent onslaught of cds being released as 6.99 - 9.99? best buy especially. i think its great. I am more than happy to pay 10 bucks for a CD. im not sure if labels are realizing that price does matter.
and by the way. Downloading songs per track sucks ass. This is a big problem i have with the current state of music, they only release songs. What i mean is, singles are pushed instead of the album as a whole. yea i understand the inability to puhs an entire album and the point is for you to buy it for the single. but some of the greatest albums i know of, are great because all of the songs as a whole, make up the record. like Jimmy Eat World's Clarity. that album from start to finish, flows. you dont have that when you listen to songs randomly.
Bush knew about September 11 because Clinton did. Clinton briefed Bush on the possibility of something stiring up. Bush didnt want any part of Clinton's dealings.
I dont get it. when i come here and someone talks about regulation of the internet for whatever reasons, political, social, whatever; everyone cringes. Yet, it seems that everyone would love to have spammers prosecuted in someway. As much as I hate the spam i get, its legal. The junk mail you get in your physical mailbox is the same as your inbox. it's as simple as hitting a DEL key. I'm sorry, i would rather take two seconds to delete the spam than to introduce legislation to stop these guys. the oxymorons here just appall me sometimes.
you're a fucking retard. its the same poeple like you that are afraid to accept that the world is shit, while you sit on your high horse at some white collar job blocking anything that doesnt fit your view of the world. leave you conservative bastard.
bloated interface? OS X.2 is quite possibly the most usable interface that I have ever used. its beatiful, interactive and responsive, not slow. Its about time that someone started to take advantage of 3D card's dormant cycles. Have you seen pages scroll on OSX.2? its incredible. I'd like to see microsoft do that.
i find it funny that the sex pistols were a corporate creation. much like the boy bands y ou see these days. yet, all of the punk kids who adore the sex pistols, are the first ones to cry sell out if a 'punk' band becomes popular.
its the same story. the rich, white men commit crimes and then get rewarded. the poor commit crimes like pot possession, and go to prison for 10 years. there is something severely wrong with that. and with Wellstone gone, the balance of power will shift to the right and we'll all be fucked.
AT&T Broadband in Richmond, VA installed that same shit on my computer. The tech was an asshole and I told him that I did not need software on my computer to connect through their lines, he got irate and told me that if i wanted to get online i had to have this software. I said kiss my ass, signed the papers and he left. I called AT&T and got a free month of service.
Just about all of my friends have that broadjump shit on their computer and willingly dont mind. Thats how the American public is, they dont care about privacy, all they want is thier cnn.com and marthastewart.com. They think that loss of privacy is what you give up when you go online. Look at the millions of AOL users, who PAY, i repeat PAY, to be advertised to. They see like TV, the Ad's come with the territory.
shit, ani difranco is one of the few artists out there that give a shit about other people. probably one of the most prolific songwriters to date, incredible stuff. shes passionate and doesnt care what anyone thinks of her. great person.
you cant say that windows is 33% of the cost. That is in terms of the price of the Mircotel version of the Windows PC. If the PC was $2000, Windows would be 5% of the total cost. Sorry, but you're wrong
get off your fucking high horse. realize that America is white trash. Oh I forgot, you must be in the IT industry, that makes you better than everyone else. grow the hell up.
keep telling yourself that and maybe someday you'll really believe it. No one is in it for the the ability to creat awesome products. what it all boils down to is the bottom line.
This cant be true?! Someone else on Slashdot that knows of Death Cab For Cutie and Built to Spill! Man , I thought i was the only one. I was totally expecting the, "all indie bands suck" comment from someone else in response to your post. rock on man, listen to what you like. By reading your post, you have better taste than 95% of America.
i think mac's are worth every penny. im working my way through college, just as you are. but i prefer to put that extra grand into something like my student loans. its a matter of personal preference. as far as, Apple being innovative and microsoft being oppressive, i have to disagree. whose to say that if Apple wasnt in the same situation they wouldnt do it. i know, speculation gets me nowhere. but apple is not the great savior of the computer industry. i like apple. i think you all might have misinterpreted my statment. i'll leave with on thing, THEY'RE ALL IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
its funny, how when microsoft discontinues support for legacy apps/OS's, eveyrone gets pissed. yet when its precious Apple, everyone applauds. im not a fan of microsoft, but i dont like any of the 4 linux distros i've tried, and mac's are too expensive. so i use windows. zealots of any kind make so sense.
Sorry, but the poster got it WRONG. MS Works does NOT include Word. Its a separate entity. it is NOT a stripped down version of Word.

hahah thats awesome.. great last paragraph.
be careful of what you say online these days. if you're against our capitalistic lifestyle, you might be considered a terrorist.

outdated or not. if its fact its fact. Would you want someone building jet engines on a PC? i Sure as fuck wouldnt. it better be a Unix variant.

winamp3 isnt too much of a resource hog?! uses 18MB of memory when playing a single 3MB mp3. I'll stick to winamp2.x.
