  1. EMusic good value for indie/historical music on Comparing Online Music Offerings · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Although [Emusic.com] just got bought out and is significantly reducing the # of songs one can download, it has been an amazing value for lovers of non-pop genres, as well as contemporary indie pop stuff. I've been using it for 5-6 months and have mined their amazing jazz/blues/world catalog to my great satisfaction. I would guess I've paid a nickel a song at most, and that's about the right price. At their new rates, it is up to 30-40 cents per song, so you need to be pickier, but I'd still rather have a timeless gem for that price than a tune that will soon seem like last weeks news for a buck.

  2. try the freezer! on Affordable and Safe Data Protection Practices? · · Score: 1

    I was advised that a good fire-safe place to keep my will is in the freezer next to the ice cream :) I wonder how CDR's deal with cold? I would guess its ok.

  3. Re:Spamassassin/Razor for Windows/OutlookExpress? on SpamNet: Razor for the Masses · · Score: 1

    I just got a reply to this question from the folks at deersoft.com saying "The initial release will be for Outlook, but Outlook Express will follow soon behind, and then possibly Eudora and Netscape/Mozilla."

  4. Re:Who sells their good books? on Used Books: An Actual Internet Success Story · · Score: 1

    No, a person who has already read a book and will probably keep it on the shelf unread till their heirs have an estate sale is a *bad* person. ok ok, I'm a bad person too :( But packrating books is not a virtue, its a vanity. keep em moving, let everybody have a chance!
