RIAA can't object to you using, say, 30 seconds (or less than 10% of the original work, whichever is less) of a song to illustrate a story, article, or other editorial content about the music's author or musical genre. That would probably be called "fair use" and would be the audio equivalent of a "thumbnail." Using the entire song would be considered public performance and rebroadcast, even at less-than-maximum audio resolution. (I am not a lawyer. For good Fair Use guidelines, see the University of Texas site.
Instead of one OS, you can run four:
1. Linux
2. Mac OS X
3. Classic (OS 9)
4. Windows (via VPC)
Impressive.
In addition to your list, I have also run concurrently a copy of Virtual Gamestation in the Classic mode!
Make it FIVE!
The anti-war people are quite free to put up Web sites that talk about the "Second Superpower" and link to other Web sites that are sympathetic to their cause. They might actuallly go up in the search engine rankings if they did this in an organized fashion.
I think that the real beef is that the anti-war guys don't have as much mindshare as they believe that they should have. So they're upset that their use of the term is overshadowed by some blogger who happens to have more links and references than they do.
Search engines just report what's there and what's referred to by others. They don't make moral judgements on the importance of the content. They don't really care if you personally think your definition or usage is more important than the next guy's.
I bought a VirtualBoy along with several games a few years ago just to keep around. I'm a sort of fan of early 3D efforts and still have lots of old 3D comics and magazines with the red/blue glasses, and some of the early hologram efforts, ViewMasters, etc.)
I have to say, that these days, my 8-year-old and his friends can't get enough of Mario Tennis, Virtual Baseball and other 3D games on the VirtualBoy, even though they all have the latest GameBoy Advance, GameCube, Playstation 2, X-Box, etc.
There's still enjoyment to be had in the VirtualBoy. Plenty of units and games are up for grabs on eBay, too.
"Greedy music industry says I can't play my own CD's in my own restaurant. The annual fee to play music is $265. Sorry."
Next time you stop in to the guy's shop, tell him to put his CD player within easy reach of the customers. Put a sign on it: "CD player for customers' use only. Bring your own CDs."
He's not playing music for his customers any more, he just let them use his CD player to play their own music.
Tell the RIAA to try and collect from them. "Quick! Another one's getting away! He heard that Garth Brooks song!!! Grab him!!! He owes us a quarter!"
After months of screaming from the people, the Legislature backed off and the governor repealed the "VanScam" or "Talivan" program in Hawaii. The "van" reference was to the white Nissan vans that the van cam company parked on the freeways at blind spots to trap motorists.
Judges were throwing the tickets out of court because there was the "guilty until proven innocent" angle, plus the fact that the private contractor running the program was getting $27 per ticket, regardless of whether it stuck in court or not.
The Honolulu Star-Bulletin has a couple of stories about the demise of the hated program: http://starbulletin.com/2002/04/10/news/index1.htm l and http://starbulletin.com/2002/04/11/news/index1.htm l
Contest every ticket on every conceivable angle!
