  1. Re:Can I quit the government? on US Fed Gov. Says All Music Downloads Are Theft · · Score: 1

    sorry. I know that I bought a new Vaio in late 01/early 02 that came preinstalled with itunes. It was unfamiliar software and i imported music that I had recorded on a stand alone cd burner that was receiving an analog feed from a NADY 8 channel mixer. When everyone wanted copies, itunes said I did not have the appropriate rights to burn the music. I downloaded and installed EAC, recopied the disc and burned it with Nero and had no problems. I did uninstall itunes, later, and have never regretted it.

  2. Can I quit the government? on US Fed Gov. Says All Music Downloads Are Theft · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I remember when I recorded my band in the living room and copied the cd to my computer. When iTunes told me I didn't have the required rights to make a cd copy I quit using iTunes.

    Is there an easy way to quit using the government?

  7. End of an Error... ere Era. My last MS OS on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 1

    After my limited experience with Vista, I simply will not buy another Microsoft OS. I'm saddened to see the end of XP support, but will gladly migrate rather than give my money to the greatest source of software bloat...

  8. Re:Why is this on the -/ frontpage? on Apple Introduces "MacBook Wheel" · · Score: 1

    I'm disappointed.

  9. LENGTH on Multiple Upcoming Games, Movies Based On Jordan's Wheel of Time · · Score: 1

    I'm so glad I enjoyed these books in Audio format. No telling how I would have ever pronounced all those words... But considering the shear number of hours (must exceed 300 hours), I don't know how a movie can do it.

  10. I can do this ... Gift or Curse? on Identifying People By Odor As Effective As Fingerprinting · · Score: 1

    Gift or Curse? I really don't know. I've always been very quick to identify my friends by smell, even when my friends tell me they can't smell each other. Perfumes suck, for sure, but don't mask. Garlic and other foods make me crazy, too, but don't block my ability to smell my friends and neighbors.

  12. Does it seem like MS & Apple are fighting? on ITunes 8 a Real Killer App; Taking Down Vista · · Score: 3, Funny
    Does it seem like MS & Apple are fighting hard for the consumer dollar? Trying to one up each other? Trying to win market share?

    It really seems that causing a BSoD is something that would have come up in testing, no?

  13. Re:Apple is a niche player? on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you can't install arbitrary applications on your phone by now, I really don't think you have a right to call it a "smart" phone.

    The technology is there, the computing horsepower is there, and some phones have had it for a while. There's really no excuse at this point.

    Here, here. The reason iphone and apple in general have not had better market penetration is their exclusionary nature.

  14. Re:It was HP, not Apple on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've had my Ipaq for many years... since long before the iphone, it does everything the iphone does, plus adds GPS, MS Office, etc., and stereo bluetooth. No, the screen doesn't shift when you turn it.
    I think the troll scoring on the op is out of line, since this is a relative comment that should remind people that the iphone didn't start it...

    I read your post and find myself singing:

    I'm just a bill.
    Yes, I'm only a bill.
    And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
    Well, it's a long, long journey
    To the capital city.
    It's a long, long wait
    While I'm sitting in committee,
    But I know I'll be a law some day
    At least I hope and pray that I will
    But today I am still just a bill.

  17. Keep it up and it won't be a "theory" on Bacteria Make Major Evolutionary Shift In the Lab · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Keep it up and it won't be a "just" a theory any more! I'm so sick of my neighbor saying "evolution is just a theory" with a scornful attitude that implies evolution is a whimsical idea kids will have and common sense will later dispel.
