Don't be so harsh. He isn't responsible for his mother being a hamster, and his father smelling of elderberries. It's a common mixup in cross-species relationships like this, to raise the placenta instead of the actual child.
P.S.: Now I'm reminded of that South Park episode with Bono. ^^
As far as I'm informed, more and more good artists are jumping ship from the big four labels, and create their own thing. After all, it gives you up to a 2750% profit increase (from 3.5% to 100%), to throw out the industry in-between.
And according to the RIAA's own studies, they will be dead and gone in 5-7 years anyway. (Expect it to be a quadratic curve. Not a linear one.) So all the talk, all the taraa and kaboom, can just flow by, go right trough me.
I just wait, smile, and see them fall apart. It's a quite beautiful image, if you watch it quietly from the distance. (Beware: From close up, it looks like that guy's melting face in Indiana Jones.)
Ask any professional star chef, what his secret is, and the number one answer will be, that he uses the most fresh and unprocessed food that he can get his hands on. So actually, eating more healthy will taste much better, when you can cook! Organic products are even better because they are not so much diluted. Which is pretty obvious.
Also, processing costs money. So you can save money too.
I call that a great deal!:) Even if you do not care for the health benefits, think of it like this: You can earn money for eating more tasty food! You would be crazy not to take that offer, wouldn't you? ^^
I know pretty much about food. And the diseases bad food causes.
And I can tell you, that those diseases don't come tomorrow. They take decades to grow. And this is why they are so hard to track back to their causes.
Luckily, a nice man called Max Otto Bruker gave only what you would call "organic food" to the 50,000 patients of his clinic over a range of 50 years. And then collected that vast experience into books. (Which unfortunately are only available an German). He found the Kollath table to be basically true: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vollwertleben.info%2Fhtml%2Fbody_kollath-tabelle.html&sl=de&tl=en&history_state0=&swap=1 (I could only find a German version. I hope it makes any sense. In case of problems, use dict.leo.org) "Basically", because of course, your body can cope with bad food for a time, and is pretty flexible. So you can of course eat trash food. Just not as your main diet. And you can often fix bad nutrition by eating something that fixes the balance on the next day.
It is impressive, how many diseases, that we thought were because of old age, are really because of bad food. (Hint: Most of them!)
And one other thing that he found out, is that there really actually are groups who want to denounce and destroy you, because you attack their business model. They were on the level of Glen Beck: One day they call you a Nazi. The other day a communist Jew. And the third day, they make up some other bullshit. Even today. Totally crazy beyond belief... Same thing as in "Thank you for smoking". Just with absolutely no conscience.
Burn? What does fire have to do with it? And wouldn't I make a mix with a DJ program? Also: When I want to copy it, I use an USB-stick like normal people. Or maybe some other USB drive.
Exactly. If you want the sympathy of someone, aggressions are the stupides possible thing you can ever do. Yeah, everybody does it. But because everybody is pretty stupid in that thing. I was too.
I recommend trying to get the respect of a 13 year old boy, when you are his father. And with "respect" I mean that he will really listen to you and trust you. When you can do that, everything else is child's play.:)
But it is essential to first get the respect. Get someone to listen. And always, I repeat always, assume the person you are talking to, to be a good person and that everything this person does is ok. No matter how much you disagree, or how horrible you might find it: If you do not follow this rule, you lose the game. Then all you have left is the choice of a stupid man: Pressure trough aggression. Which means that that person will stab you in the back, as soon as you release the pressure for so much as a millisecond. Not a nice way to work together. And not very effective too, because of the potential for sabotage.
I think Dale Carnegie already said that in a simpler form some decades ago...
Why don't they just work on preventing the diseases in the first place? B: Likely because there is someone profiting from selling the medication.
Same thing here. It's nice if you can burn time, doing nothing but robotically filling out forms and then waiting all day long. While raking in nice big salaries. I thought that was the very idea behind of bureaucracy. ^^
I disagree. I think Clippy, as a personal assistant, was by definition a bad idea.
The computer is an extended tool. Which itself is an extension of your body.
So the idea is, to make it a powerful but fully transparent thing. Like a Mech suit with Matrix interface. Our hands even have their own special "highway" path around the slow areas of the brain, because of our habit of extending our bodies trough them.
Which means that separate entities in that space give you essentially a split personality. Much like Dr. Strangelove's hand. Additionally, you have to communicate with that entity in probably the most inefficient and senseless way possible: Text. Or even speech!
Even a keyboard and a mouse, primitive as they are, are still much closer to a brain-computer interface, as putting another layer of a chatting bottleneck below that and the program.
Hey, we got these huge savings that can help us when we need it. Let's put it into the stock market. Because that one is known for its century-long stability. And the value of our stocks will hold perfectly stable, even in the worst times.
Protip: USE SOME FREAKING REAL GOODS! Gold, silver, countries, or things that go *up* in bad times. (Like bank manager incomes!)
So Apple is admitting to actively stifling competition?
When I learned one thing, then that Microsoft, Apple, Google, Monsanto, Exxon, Nestlé, **AA, etc, etc... are just one big pile of criminal energy, as soon as they get big enough. It's no question of if, but of when.
Of course it is great, when all your know is Flash. Flash is one of the worst things that ever happened to internet video. I hope browser-video-integration (like in Firefox 3.5, but with all formats, like H.264, XviD, MP3, AC3, Matroska containers, etc.) will change this for the better, and kill off Silverlight too.
So if MS puts up such idiotic restrictions, they will be left without publishers.
And if the publishers instead are so pathetic losers that they still publish for MS, because of [insert circular reasoning], they they deserve it, and will go down with MS.
It will. Because I will not support it at all. I started with Vista, which I personally never touched. I told them that I can't help them on that. If they actually *bought* Vista, I entirely stopped talking to them. Now it's nice and quiet, and the only questions I ever get, can be solved by ssh access to a bash shell.
First: I do not want others to decide what's spam for me. Second: I got graylisting, amavisd with spamd & co, and more. Why exactly would I put such a system on every other node of the net too? To throw away resources?

Clarification: "go *up*". ;)
Not "blow *up*". (That's only for the times, when you have no savings left.
What idiot came up with *that* idea?

I, for one, am a game designer. And I say their game ate freaking jokes. But nobody notices, because it's rather the norm than the exception. ;)
And this will only drive them down the wrong road even further. Which means we will even soon see new studios fill the hole that Ubisoft will leave.
Just pray it won't be EA or MS.
Well, if revealing its location poses a risk for Obama, then it is not much of a safehouse, is it? ^^
Is that not just another word for "competition"??
So Apple is admitting to actively stifling competition?

Where will they get the one million lusers to download and spread the botnet in the first place?
Does the Big Brother "show" still exist and recruit "people"?
And I thought it was so dark because of the smog...
Microsoft still *needs* the publishers!
So if MS puts up such idiotic restrictions, they will be left without publishers.
And if the publishers instead are so pathetic losers that they still publish for MS, because of [insert circular reasoning], they they deserve it, and will go down with MS.

It matches, feature-for-feature, Exchange.
How in the world exactly, is this a good thing?
I guess most open-source projects imitate Microsoft no strictly, that they even imitate their motto "Don't innovate. Imitate!".
Everything, to not repel any customers, right?
Just as it is the best strategy, to agree to everything that your dream girl says, and to fake-imitate the guy that she really wants... right?
