The study doesn't seem to suggest anything about videogames causing ADHD, so I don't see what the big deal is. There's not a lot to conclude based on this study except "hyperactive kids like videogames".
Get a soundcard with digital output and input, and there's your perfect copy. Of course, you then run into the problem of storing the file, because if you compress it again, you're losing quality.
Yes, that's a plus, but of course one of the downsides is that it's not really in CD quality. It's "good enough" for most people, but AAC is still a lossy format. And personally, if I think music is worth buying, I like to have a tangible object with all the artwork. But then, I'm one of the few people I know who tends to listen to entire albums as the artist intended.
So unless the price of the AACs of an album comes down, I'll keep buying the CDs. For $5 more, it's worth it for the higher quality. But what do I know, I'm a musician/wannabe audiophile:-)
Yes, certainly, there was a whole lot of crap, but there were some really, really awesome bands as well. Where are the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Rolling Stones, or whatever of today? They simply don't exist. There's no real standout, quality 'pop' like there was in the 60s and 70s.
"i'm not so sure there's a grey line there unless this is of a state where 17 is considered legal age."
That would be most states (16 or 17), then. I know this shit because the first time I had sex with my girlfriend, I was 18 and she was 17. We're in New York, so it's perfectly legal.
I think you're confusing sampling with doing cover songs, which are two very different things, but they both require licensing from the original artist to do so legally.
would they prefer to sell a full album at 9.99 each, full of filler that most people don't want?
I really have to wonder what kind of crap music you people are listening to when you keep referring to "filler"...

I think we like Sun, but we hate the sun.

You liked 80s music? Okay, okay, music today is pretty awful, but jeez...
It's called a bitmask. That's how many bits are static. 8 bits per byte...

Well I don't have a lava lamp, but my girlfriend does have a few. :)
Gotta love Opera :)
Same here...my girlfriend doesn't like diamonds or gold...
Yeah, it's a fairly obvious pro-Microsoft troll...
You're not alone...

What's wrong with DX-7's? Yeah, they're primitive, but it was still a good analog synth in its day.
He said "Indian developers", not "all Indians"...
It works, but it results in a loss of quality, because you're re-encoding into another lossy format.
Hyperbole. Just because someone wants to make a living by recording music doesn't mean that they're driven by profit.
They're Libertarians. What do you expect?

There are lots of MMORPGs that will be able to compete with WoW, even though they lack its clout.
Ahem. Toxic waste, anyone? You can't just keep cramming it into a mountain forever.

Very interesting question. "Close To The Edge" by Yes fits this description (3 songs, all over 8 minutes).
Uh, wait. I can set up my own account at 2CheckOut for $50. The only other service he provides is hosting. This is nothing "revolutionary", people.
