Most music is purchased by subteen females. "Tone" junkies is an apt description for these consumers of "auditory" hallucinogens. Specifically, large music companies supply a pre-constructed group identity. Something VERY important to subteen females. This identity is delivered by music analogous to the way heroin is delivered by a needle. It is a manufacture of the distribution companies, not of the 'artists'. So, of that $16/CD better figure $15.50 is paid for the preconstructed group identity and $0.50 paid for the pure sonic esthetic .
Drool on, libertoon. Let's keep 52 cards in the deck. I think we should impose morality on corp$ the same way we impose it on people -- when it is considered important enough to impose. Namely hang a few business Nazi bastards. SNAP!... tell me now didn't that focus your little binary mind wonderfully?
UhMMMM... the US does not HAVE an oil dependency... since the Colorado & Alberta tar-sands could supply every ounce three-times-over ( @ $50.00/barrel ). We are simply consuming Middle East oil so others may not consume it ! Get the picture?
That's right , pad're anti-alien fonts are alien, but Joe-Lusr does know a crap-visual when he sees it... the human reptile brain figured crap-visuals out long ago. Didn't like 'em them either, but Linux dweebs seems determined to remind him just how much he didn't... hehe...

Actually, FRESCO is a corruption of FRISCO which is a corruption of damned near everything.
Sorry pad're... I run 3 web-boxes : a k-6/450, Duron900 & XP2100+ on DSL and the performance difference among them is marginal. Excepting a few "flasher" pages, even the primative 4 Mb Jaton_9750 in the K-6 really makes little difference so I'm not pushed to upgrade one of the GForce2s in the other systems for the extra Vid. It's not even worth getting the "official" NVidia drivers for my P4 RedFat_8 box. Yawn. Face it pad're, as it now mopes along - even for a performance slacker like me - the web is dead-of-boredom.
Am I the only one still using fav WinME? It's rock-solid 8 hours at a time... changes its own diaper after crapping-out and doesn't call home to mommy unless I dial. Keep WinME away from over-reaching dweezles & webtoe dweebs and it does OKey, running my K-6, Duron900 & XP2100+ two solid years... not bad, huh. Has RedHat ever run a GUI for two years I don't think so. WinME rocks, and did I say it was cheaper than SusE-the-*itch that couldn't run anything but snotty-nose KDE blu-screens!
Sorry, pad're but the INTEL cpu standalone-prices are NOT the ones to figure. Look at "bare-bones" system costs. I recently got a fine P4S333/P4-2/430watt-tower system at a cost of $350.00 . That's very competitive to any equally robust, capable AMD system. Oh yeah, I also have a *itchy XP2100+ system that is hardly worth the heatsink trouble.
More buckbanging... or do you mean more watts for the tw*ts ?? Nothing heats up a computer Lusr fast as an AMD chip. Like diapers for barbie-baby-dolls, AMD should give AWAY their cpus and SELL heat-sinks and fans.
yeahyeahyeah... sounds like small-claims-court to me. Is all that any business of the black-boot Fed stormtroopers? I think not -- but the business nazis use them black-boots like mafia goons... similar thing's been done before, mind you -- do some history: check out the strike-breaking copper tactics in the soft-coal regions during the 20s-30s... more property crimes, eh?? Stealing lumps of coal not bandwidth. Analogous, huh... kinda the same cultural motif, huh?? Watts/bytes, heh it's all entropy. And don't blame me, pad're when the black-boot hammer hits you I voted Buchannan.
Sure, dweezle, SlackJaw sure deals with a specific crowd... all 16 a' them... packa' stray honkers one thumb up their azz the other groping their fav electro-mechanic blo-up dolly. They have done more harm to *nix - with their byteboyz ebonics elitist spew - than all BillG$ marketdroids & paid shills. Die fast, Slackster and die bad... Say goodnight, dweezle...
The more Lusr-friendly *nix distros bi*chslap them dweeb honkers, the less we need listen to their whining, drooling cry-baby Debolian & Gentiismic sobs. Help those po' dweezles along --- STOMPSTOMPSPLAT a mess just as stinky as a CLI vidcard config. Deal with it, d00b5r3. It's coming fast... byebye weenierville, forget them shellscripts & hello...

Sure, I rap to/. on my fav WinME box and yeah the WinX boxes have earned my living on-the-WWW for the last 5 years... rock-solid 10-hours at a time. And sure, I've casually "kept" a Linux box ( like a hi-maintain galpal )for the last two years. In fact I just built a P4S333/P4@2.0 to keep RedHat_8.0 cozy... and I PAID for RedHat unlike most dweezles on/. if ya can believe the rap. In those two years not once has RedHat ( or Suse-the-*itch ) approached the easy admin & slick-as-a-horney-rattlesnake-in-olive-oil functioning I require... and get from WinX. What's the M$-ACCESS substitute, huh??? Nothing!! I tried, pad'res and I would be sleeping under a bridge had I not reverted to WinX. 'Course I pinch pennies, and never have there been as many FREE, usefull proggies for *nix as there have been for WinX: SANDRA specs me out, CRESCENDO does midi & ABIWD my wp. Just count the rest! PROXO, ZONAL, MAILWASHER, AVG,... I live/die by these covering my azz!... think I'll stop! NO equivalents to those great plug-N-play proggies exist in *nix. Only recently has *nix GALEON taken 1st place in my ranking of Browsers, ahead of NS_6.2... course by now I'm on DSL (nice USB plug), and the folks I work for have introd WinX-specific client software. So to move onto *nix I'd have the WINE & DSL install hassel. So you see, pad'res *nix gives me no vig, no 'percentage' to move over. Meanwhile I can dump all my old SCSI stuff into the RedHat tower and it seems to spit rarely --- who knows, maybe next year...
What drival. Arms and legs (movement) are not specifically human. Speech ( and the thought behind it) are specifically human. Not rocket science, eh? Free speech is a specifically human virtue. By restricting speech we restrict our specific humanity... and all that implies on the slippery-slope of human power.
Yeah, pad're good shooting... ya nailed the nazi bas*ard. Give that repressive free-speech-hating PC goon a couple "legit" laws and he's polishing his black-boots and practicing his arm salute. And he loves it! And he knows it!
Actually it was said in the 1950s pardon my paraphrase : '...there are only two kinds of people in the world - niggers and folks with tons of money...' The man who said that was Congressman AC Powell... a bit before your time, perhaps, but you can guess his 'race'.

So pad're do you understand that Linux_v_2.4.20 is the same as RedHat_v_2.4.18.18.8 ? Beats me, but the GNU politics must be super.

Try NotePad, pad're ... it comes free-as-beer like mp3 & midi support on every rock-solid WinME system.
