Maybe they won't allow you to upload or store zip or mp3 files...
1) rename *.mp3 *.txt
or...
b) do people still uuencode? somewhere, off in a far and neglected part of my brain i recall binaries being posted to usenet as plaintext uuencoded files. can this possibly happen once again?
well, can't i just upload one huge file full of gibberish and leave it there to rot? and, then if i were to repeat the process, i would eventually take up at least two or three gigs, factoring in my laziness, of course. another point here to consider is how are they going to allocate 1g / user to the whole damn earth? there would have to be a room full of racks and racks of hard drives. now what would happen if such a valuable resource should succumb to terrorists? my emails!!!
one gig of storage? wow. in theory, i could use that space to store a fair amount of warez, tunes, and flicks, and spread them around with relative impunity. for that matter... who's gonna stop me?
well, not without some sort of gimmick. not that i'm against small bands actually getting a share of the spoils here, but aren't they the type of artists that should be supported in the first place?
they are charging money for something that can be infinitely reproduced with absolutely zero quality loss. as soon as music hit the digital domain, all monetary value was lost. mass production and distribution are now in the hands of the unwashed masses and, as has been driven home countless times, trying to squeeze out the last few dollars, pounds, whatever, out of an old business model is futile. turn your attention to the live concert experience which cannot (yet) be digitally reproduced and infinitely duplicated, and leave me alone.
My father can IM me something and I can dismiss him in a few keystrokes rather than having to chase him out of my room.

see also OS-esque, of which there may or may not be a OSX related joke, but it is probably much to late for me to even attempt to be funny a second time in a night.
it's always fun when a movie provides you with clear and definite details so you don't have to think or use your own mind or imagination yourself. the matrix trilogy as a whole has spurned some of the finest ideas i've had in quite some time because it is not sharply defined and concrete. if you want details on how to stop evil flying machines with your mind, you are going to have to write your own movie. it's over. it's complete. use it to spark your own imagination and you may enjoy it more...
i remember back then...
when you could register a domain name, make an ipo, and get rich. this was also the time when yahoo stock was stuck well above $100/share... oh how far they've fallen...

or... sign up anyway and waste their precious storage space.

good thing i have devices to play music and video that were made pre-latest-drm-fest. if not, there's always my computer.

i remember back in the day, when this comment was +3.
i would totally walk around with a keychain full of the buying fingers of the rich. then, and only then, will i truly feel i have conquered the world.

reading the far side, trying to get all the jokes, obsessively seeking out every single comic. this is pretty kickass.
ipod+ fm transmitter+ tape adaptor+ car charger+ burton amp jacket (ipod ready with soft controls on sleeve)+ vw bug+ whatever's next...
or, for that matter, hilarious [insert any artist] jokes as well.
i can't wait for all the [insert various sci-fi bounty hunters] comments to be wittily composed.
the riaa is evil. tell someone you know.

50% sounds great. plus to retain creative control ove your music? not bad. this is a meme worth persuing.
