Seriously though, I don't see how this makes a big difference as to how the RIAA is run. The decisions are made directly by the members of the RIAA, Hillary Rosen is little more than a spokesperson/figurehead. Honestly, I concider this somewhat of a non issue.
Of course who knows, maybe they'll elect someone cool, like Axel Rose for example instead of an MBA monkey who wouldn't know music if it bit him/her in the bottom.
... too bad they never do. Seriously though, NASA has had big ambitious plans for a while, however at the end of the day, nothing gets done. The last significant achievement of Nasa was walking on the moon. They've been coasting ever since.
Hmmmm I suppose one of the major problems in this undertaking to attempting to solve "grey areas", IE what is a different species and what it not.
A case in point is the Vancouver Island Marmot. This highly endangered animal is concidered a seperate species than the regular rocky mountain marmot. Even though the only major difference between the two is that the Vancouver island marmot has a patch on it's nose.
Compare this to the difference in animals of the same species. A dalmation and a bulldog are concidered to be the same species of animal, even though they are vastly different in apperence and behavior.
There are just examples of the thousands of grey areas the exist between species. So one must ask, how specific are they getting, what in these scientists eyes is a seperate species and what is simply a different race.
By setting the standard for what is a species high, the task of discovering every species becomes much easier than if the bar was set lower.
As an engineer at a moderate sized company, I often get to sift through resumes and select people for interviews.
I have to say that when I see any religious University or even religious SOUNDING University on a resume, the red light imediatly goes off for me. I would not risk hireing a person who whould bring their religion to work with them. I've had bad experiences with religious people in the work place in the past. Attending a religious school indicates a possibility that the potential employee is a religious fundamentalist evangelical... ect, ect.
Therefore, when it come to getting a job, any sort of degree from Sounthern Methodist could be as much of a hinderance as it is an asset. Anyone else share my oppinion out there?
For that matter, who in their right mind uses a browser that displays pop-ups?
I hate to plug mozilla here, however if you're annoyed by popups, get mozilla and block the pop-ups... problem solved. As for as I'm concerned they can advertise all they like!
would require nearly the purchase price of the bicycle to fix.
Huh, you mean you actually PAY to have someone fix your bicycle?!? Just what kind of geek are you? There's nothing on your bicycle you shouldn't be able to fix yourself.
Trek 800 is the human-powered equivilent to a Geo Metro
So your saying that 80% of the bicyclists on the road, you know... that kind that don't have to money to pay for a Trek 800 are riding on garbage. I myself have been riding some shitty mongoose bike I picked up for 200 bucks (CND!). Although I have to tune the gears after something like 10 rides, and I have had to replace the chain, it has worked reasonably well for me for the past 4 years. Something tells me you are not living on the same planet as I am. OH well.....
Life starts in the sea, life emerges from the sea, animals grow really big and most life is reptilian, animals get smaller and become mostly mammals... and thats the story up until now.
Animal planet is proposing that animals get bigger, turn into reptiles, and finally go back into the sea from wence they came. IS it just me or is that somehow ironic, stange and possibly WRONG.
I find it hard to believe that life on earth will DE-evolve... thats sort of a depressing thought though isn't it.
You can get an OK bicycle perfect for commuting to work for ~150 bucks... add all the acessories you're looking at ~200 bucks, it will be a k-car of a bike but it will work.
Following you're argument buying anything less than a BMW is a usless waste of money... get real. If you want a luxurious bike, thats tought, efficient and hip looking than yeah 850 bucks atleast. IF you want basic transportation, go down to walmart and you can pick up a decent bike today!
Well.... I'm more concerned about condom use leading to more sexual activity. I myself have worn a condom for the past 6 months and never once have I sucessfully had sex with a person of any sex. It seems obvious to me that my condom use did not increase my sexual activity:( Oh well.
Isn't the moon claimed as a United States territory?
In that case, the euros would have to go through customs and pay import duty fees every time they travel to the moon? Oh, and what about smuggling out American moon rocks? Seems to me that the Euros are intending to ANNEX united states property! After all people, the moon is clearly marked by several US flags.
If we allow other claim OUR moon than the terrorists have already won.
Really? I don't remember signing a contract when I purchased my last CD. I saw no EULA in the CD case, nor did I click or check OK on anything. At which point did I agree to this "license" you speak of?
While I agree that SCI is probably a better band than Phish.... the cost of the 38 cd set is higher per minuite than 10 bucks for a 3 hour concert. It's just not good value!

Crap, with all the MMORPG hype today, not the mention that dead Korean guy I think airlines will have real trouble getting people off the airplane after the flights finished if they install such technology. Needless to see, I feel this is a really Bad Thing(tm).
TV sucks and is a waste of time anyways. Who needs to watch countless ads and product placements it TV. 95 percent of the shows are crap anyways! Fuck TV and read a book, and for that show you don't want to miss, one word : KAZAA!
Sauron cannot believe that anyone would actually try and destroy the ring; the thought is unimmaginable to him. He assumes that the ring is in Minas Tirith, in the hands of the rulers of Gondor.
Two hobbits walking into Mordor aren't goign to attract his attention, he has far bigger problems on his mind than that. Therefore the hobits can well yes just waltz right up to Mt. Doom and toss said ring in. IF he went in with an army, the group would be too big for Mordor to ignore.
It's like this, in the terrorist attacks, when the terrorists hijacked the airplanes, no one dreamed that they were planning to crash them into a sky scraper. It was simply un thinkable.... same thing with Sauron and the ring.
God, I'm a geek aren't I? Well atleast I have sex a couple times a week with my geek girlfriend.
I work in the financial industry. There is no legal investment of which I am aware for which it is reasonable to expect a healthy 5 or 10 percent profit within a small number (less than 2) of years.
If you produce a product, and you don't make a small profit... why woudl you produce the product? I mean ford wouldn't build cars if they didn't make money on them. Why should Hollywood make movies if they lose money on them? When you produce a product for which there is a demand, then expecting to make money on it is more than reasonable.
Are you suggesting that the only way for hollywood to be noble, good citizen is to produce movies that they won't make any money on? That they should give their product away for free... I mean come on, be serious. We aren't IN SOVIET RUSSIA you know.
I'm sorry, if you wire 30,000 dollars to any account after an auction without making absolutly certain that you're actually going to recieve the service you're paying for; then well, you're stupid. Simple as that.
If this person had any good sense they would have mode darn sure they're not being scammed. If a person parts with 30,000 dollars this way than they deserve it. Perhaps they'll be more carful when bidding 30,000 dollars on an online auction.
Then again, I suppose the world is full of idiots... want proof? read Slashdot at -1:).
You sir are whats wrong with people today. YOu have no taste and based upon your opinion on today's disney movies, I assume you are a complete idiot.
Tarzan, The Little Mermaid 2, The Lion King 2... this is the kind of tripe that disney is forcing down our childrens throats. To say Disney movie's are getting better is like saying that Microsoft Office gets even better with every release, IE complete horseshit.
I honestly hope you were trolling with the above comment, because it's very worrying to see that people can has as bad a taste as you do.

it SHOULD but with Billy-boy and his crew running things, it never will.

Thats all for now, good night everyone!
