Plus, unlike the real CDs, you're buying a lossy format. If someone sold FLACs with the cuesheets necessary to recreate the original CD exactly, I might consider it. But the higher quality and all the benefits that come from having a tangible product are worth the extra $2-5 (see Amazon.com), IMO. If I want all the convenience of a digital format, I can rip the CD into any format I like, ensuring maximum quality. It's a few dollars difference. Unless you're buying a ton of music and you're not all that concerned about quality and such, I just don't see the point.
"Now, in reality I think that this theory is correct. If you want a gaming machine get one. If you want a DVD player get one. Dunno."
But why do that when you want both? You can buy a console and get a DVD player included "free". It's just some extra code to play the DVDs. All the hardware is already there.
I don't see how Microsoft's anti-competitive tactics fall under either "force" or "fraud". Certainly, there's nothing in a Libertarian system to prevent monopolies from forming.
The cheapest ICANN accredited registrar is Names4Ever.com, at $7.95 per year. They also provide some pretty good features, though you kinda have to dig around their site.
I don't think this would work on a P2P model. It would have to be one big server, and even then, a simple MD5 sum is meaningless. You have to take into account all the random data (including your name) that spammers include.
Is anyone else having problems with the KDE menu in Mandrake 9.2? In 9.1, everything worked fine. In 9.2, there's no "Run" option, and when I installed a package, half the menu entries were mysteriously deleted or moved around. I had this same problem when I tried out 9.2 RC2.

I'm an Emacs fan, and that was amusing :)
I suspect they're looking for site-wide bias rather than the personal bias you describe.
- I already buy my music online
and you've got a great poll. Cheers.Quick! It's still available!

How about turn-based strategy? Or non-console-style RPGs (one exception here would be Morrowind, granted)?
OK. I imagined it. So what? What real world problem does this solve that isn't already solved?
DDoS attacks.
Like Germany? And most of Europe, which has very low tuition at public universities...

My baloney detector says false dichotomy.
You mean 8.6 kg. It does say "about". Significant figures, people.
Or John Ashcroft...I'm very sorry for that image.

After searching Amazon, now I see...Nintendo is marketing it for Game Boy Advance. Oh well.
It's an interesting test of current laws, though.
Why was this great title for SNES left out?
Or time since they actually decided to work on fixing it.

Yeah yeah, the National Socialist Workers Party, but they weren't, they were fascists.
Maybe because cellular is more expensive, especially for those who make a lot of calls?
How about the margin of error in pen and paper voting methods is what fucked up the 2000 election?
MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World", "Hello World", MB_OK); Or yeah, just compile a console app and use stdio.h.
