What no one seems to mention yet is that the new searching is bad. I left Bearshare and gnutella because I couldn't do searches on a specific type without having to manually filter them each time. As well, the fasttrack clients give a lot more information, per-user searching (for searching the high-bw users), it appears better shotgunning and restarting, etc. Everyone switched to morpheus for one reason - they hated gnutella! How is THAT going to change with this move?
Someone should just make an installer to install a spyware-free version of grokster so that the masses can use it freely, then we'll see how many people flip. As well, dealing with all MC's outright lies about security - first there wasn't a prblem, now there is - and their ripoffs of clients in general makes me wonder about throwing support behind them.
Every time the taxes were cut the revenues went up. Of course it's a curve, and no one is suggesting 0% taxes. But given, between state, sales, federal, and the multitude of fines/tariffs/red tape payments, the average person (with an income over 20k) pays about half in taxes, it's still too high.
The government hates cutting taxes because it means more citizens rely less on the goverment to do things and instead rely on private industry. And goo dlord, we can't have socialism if we have citizens doing THAT now can we?
