i have not paid actual money for a cd in about a year now... i will not pay for music until every major distributor of music is bankrupt. in most cases, 99 % of the money you pay for a cd doesn't go to the artist anyway, so let the CEOs starve.
i have been looking for a good mp3 databasing type program... something i can organize my mp3s with... establish naming standards and apply renames en masse, another nice feature would be the ability to detect whether or not a song is complete. any suggestions?
you cannot compete with a large, successful binary distribution (redhat), if you can't establish a widespread userbase, if you REFUSE to make binaries available.
i own a 60gxp ibm brand hard drive that i bought new in november... since november i have used it as a test drive, formatting and re-formatting it with many different types of file systems for a variety of linux, bsd, and even win2k. my 60gxp is a 20gig model and i have yet to have any trouble with the drive, in spite of the fact that i am constantly downloading and writing to it. i have read many negative reports on the 40gig and higher capacity 60gxp and 75gxp models, but i have yet to encounter a problem with my 20gig. i have heard very little with regards to failure of the 20gig gxps.
to me, the interface seems clunky (i.e. the refresh and stop button are one and the same, and change state according to whether or not you are fetching a page) and i have noticed no significant difference in the speed of rendering pages when compared to mozilla, ie, or konq.
call me a cheapskate, but another thing that turns me off opera is the fact that it isn't free.
that these missing mozilla hackers are, as we speak, being ruthlessly questioned under a single, dangling lightbulb... probably in the dark basement of some government facility by various operatives from the FBI, CIA, and NSA, held under the pretense that they have somehow violated the dmca...
just a hunch.
from what i've read so far, it's going to be a source-only distribution. this makes it considerably more difficult for people to pick up this distribution and see if they like it. RMS is probably right in his assessment of this new licensing policy they have adopted. to me, it seems like suse, connectiva, caldera, and turbolinux are shooting themselves in their collective foot.
most isps' privacy policies specify that they will not disclose private information about their users UNLESS there are compelling legal reasons to do so (i.e. a court order)... i don't see the BSA or anyone else rounding up millions upon millions of legal writs just to bust people for listening to a few mp3s
there is a great disturbance in the force ...

as if millions of computers suddenly initiated connections to port 80 of www.envynews.com... and were suddenly silenced. i feel that something terrible has happened.
the mpaa is like any other large, influential entity in commerce: its value is derived from (among other things) the fact that it is representing a successful, profitable industry or market. while the mpaa may very well make obscene gobs of money from bedfellows in the entertainment industry, it can gain just as much money from the mere fact that people still attend movies, regardless of their hollywood affiliations. investors don't care if you're going to see a movie because its publisher doesn't do business with the mpaa... they care that your ass is in the seat. if the theatres are full, the mpaa looks good no matter what. most people recognize the fact that the entertainment industry is a _very_ lucrative one. if we are to react, we should work hard to create a dramatic and widespread vacancies in theatres all over. naturally, this is an extremely difficult undertaking, but we should not second-guess the larger significance of our actions.
