I play cracked versions of downloaded games like GTA 3 on a modded PS2 while listening to burned music copied to CD using a Sony VAIO on an AIWA stereo I bought off of some guys truck.
And I wipe my arse with ultra charmin, not that cheap 1 ply stuff.
"The Librarian's decision was based on a misguided reading of the record. Not only was improper weight given to the testimony of Yahoo! but some 140 separate licensing deals were thrown out by the Librarian. The end result significantly undervalued the music used by Internet radio companies."
Silly Librarian, you dont read records, you LISTEN to them!!
and for bad joke number 2...
Wait a second, isnt that exactly what the record companies do to the artists, undervalue their music and pay them pennies??
Parent got modded! Now I'm off-topic!! Aww damn, now I MORE off topic!! umm, lets see, its Friday, down with microsoft? No, wait, got a LAN party this weekend, might need those windows boxes... umm, down with Disney!!:)
Seriously, though, I didnt read the article, so I dont know what to say!!:)
I once installed mandrake (about 3 months ago)... it was sooo coool, it even had this program where you click on it and the computer went "blah" and died (kinda like how windows does with 90% of its software!). It was called "the Gimp". Now, I had never installed a linux distro before, so I figured this was the "kill" switch. Later I discovered that its an actual program akin to PS. Never will I use Mandrake for anything other than a frisbee
hehehe... yes, thats a somewhat relevant analogy, only take this into consideration. Notice I said that its too expensive for "personal" use. I didnt say anything about business's (be that a one man business or a large corporation). I tried using Gimp to do what I personally needed PS for (NWN character portraits) and get (like many others) corrupted save files. So the analogy should go like this:
I tried to take the bus to the Circle-K, but it never seemed to get there... so then I tried to buy a car, but those sob's wanted 60 G's for something that i wanted to use for about an hour. But then I sold my soul to KaZaA and found a mechanic who had jacked one, and after about 4 hours of haggling let me drive away with it.
Its not that I dont think the program is worth it, its just the fact that FOR ME PERSONALLY to use it ONCE or TWICE doesnt justify the exorbitant price tag, whereas something cheaper might have led to to buy it.
Its a vicious circle: Warez exists because programs (for home users, anyway) are too expensive, and they are too expensive because of warez. Like Photoshop. I "have" a copy of ps 6.0, and I've used it twice in 4 months. I made some wallpaper, and one character portrait for NWN (Drizzt is available too!! www.threemoons.net/dnd.php if you want them!).
This is NOT worth the hefty (600 or so??) price tag associated with it, although I'd've probably paid 50.
Just my $.02
I'd like to post something witty...

...but since gaming dulls the thought process in your brain and makes you prone to anger I HAVE TO GO BASH SOMETHING NOW!!! GRRRR!!!!
I hate this program... in XP (in the others I've never had this problem), you have to edit your sysoc file... there is a line that reads MSNMSG or something, about halfway down... at the end there is the word "hide"... DELETE THE WORD HIDE (and theres a, extra comma in there too, get rid of it as well)
you should now be able to remove it from "windows components":)
I am SURE that there is a law regarding noise pollution... and I am positive most of you have heard the latest Booby Spears and N Stink songs at least in passing... :)
I'm still waiting for someone to prove this:
Step One: Steal Underpants
Step Two:...
Step Three: Profit.
When they can prove that, THEN I'll be impressed.:)

hmm, I havent ever seen a cloud tethered to anything, so I reckon we've had wireless clouds for a while now.
That's easy. Fire them, hire me. I can do just as little as the next PFY, AND in half the time!

"Over the past years a large amount of myths has built up around KDE..."
:P
Number one of which is: KDE does NOT stand for "Killer Dog Eaters"
Step 1) Force the software industry to spend millions on advertising about your piracy.
Step 2)
Step 3) Profit.
hey, wait, step 2) is that all the Warez script kiddies are in the ADVERTISING BUSINESS!!!!
