    Java programmers are earning more than ever and working less to get it.

    However, I'm a Java programmer and I don't have a job

    Hey, sounds like you're halfway there... now you just need to work on the "earning more" part.

    4) 2002 - Windows Media Player freezes up while I'm whacking it to porn. Unfortunately, it freezes on one of those annoying shots where they cut away to the dude's face, and I'm too close to the finish line to be able to stop. Afterwards, I feel embarassed and uncomfortable, yet strangely aroused.

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: LSD is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered LSD community when IDC confirmed that LSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all drugs. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that LSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. LSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Raver comprehensive hallucinogenic test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict LSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: LSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for LSD because LSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for LSD. As many of us are already aware, LSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeLSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core users.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    OpenLSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenLSD. How many users of NetLSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenLSD versus NetLSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetLSD users. LSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetLSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of LSD/OS. A recent article put FreeLSD at about 80 percent of the LSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeLSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeLSD Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeLSD went out of business and was taken over by LSDI who sell another troubled drug. Now LSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that LSD has steadily declined in market share. LSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If LSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. LSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, LSD is dead.

    Most of us are not into a "corporate culture". If that's the case, then why are we slamming someone who is trying to figure out an alternative method? If a music artist puts an article about how they are trying to sell music without the benefit of RIAA or it's members are we going to also slam them?

    But that's not what happened. He hasn't figured out an alternative method. He had his book published by a major (corporate) publisher, and it's being sold through major (corporate) book retailers. The only thing "different" is that he purchased an advertisement on a website that had nothing to do with the subject matter of his book.

    I've been trying to figure out alternatives to RIAA, the MPAA and all the publishing associations.

    Well, don't look to Jon Katz, because he hasn't figured that one out, either. His latest book, the topic of this discussion, was published by Random House.
