To be fair...I have never used iTMS, but I do have an iPod. You don't need the DRM to play files...in fact, I don't have one file with DRM protections on it.
Actually...the AAC won't limit you from copying the file to the player...but rather, the player won't support AAC.
As for "unlocking" it...you can always burn it to a CD, if you're willing to take the quality loss(but when you convert it to an MP3, you can minimize the damage by ripping to 320 kbps[or however high your MP3 player will go])...
Okay, enough with the whole "beowulf cluster" thing. It would be cool, but it's not going to happen.
Anyways, I hope AMD doesn't do the DRM thing, because that would just piss the user off. And when you piss the user off, you might not get his business again.
I've heard that these big machines are way to big to play Quake, but I'm not sure about that.
The only thing masturbating kills is the innocent little kittens.
"Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten. Please, think of the Kittens"
Though anyone with 360 GB of porn seriously needs counseling.
And I'm serious about that, too. 360 GB could be better spent on music, or calculating Pi.
Actually, just a few months ago, no one thought about having a home computer with 1 TB of hard drive space.
Then, the Screen Savers(more precisely, Patrick) tried it. It worked.
I think that within a year and a half, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to suggest that you could find 1 TB drives out there. Now, even I couldn't fill up a TB easily. Of course, I could always find a way to do it(especially with my nice cable connection)^_^
What about porn? You know, 50TB would equal a lot of porn.
Just kidding.
What about a 3D map of the entire Earth? NASA collected a lot of maps of the Earth at very high resolution, so why not just combine it to create a topographical model of the Earth? It would be very good for navigation, and they could connect the server to the internet, and allow everyone to access the database (for a fee, or free[depends on how much it would cost]).
Plus, I would love it. Ever hear of a little program called Celestia?
Interesting. I'd like to put my house on one of those things. Think about it...a bomb shelter, and a radio tower to boot!
All for only 25 G's. Nice deal.

I think that's why a lot of people bought the 20 GBs instead of the 10s(and now the 15s)...because Apple has trained their salespeople well...
If all you value is the hard drive space...then sure, go with the Zen Xtra. But...it's a freaking monster in terms of size and weight in comparison...
Most people don't have 40 GB of music, and those that do might value things other than raw space...like weight, size, and ease of use.

It's the IP address of the site minus the periods.
Got it already...has served me well for over a year and a half now...
I can see it now...some country who is fed up of the price fixing will go in with commandos and assassinate the executives...
Same here...I am by no means a stupid person, but I have been roped into special education nevertheless.
Somehow, I believe that Scenario 2 will happen.
Eventually, the RIAA will pick a fight with someone much bigger than itself, and they will go down in a fiery ball.
Uh, what is your problem, you racist pig? People like you are what start wars in this world.

I hope so. I don't want to see such a good company go down, and die while Intel contiunes to dominate the market.
Simple, Liquid nitrogen(with a lot more than the normal Athlons would need, a LOT more).
I've heard that the Opteron will not run as fast as the T-bird did. It will run more like the new T-bred B(sounds the same, don't it?).
It should remain your computer. Companies shouldn't have the right to dictate to you what you can do with your property.
That's like saying that as soon as a company puts ads on your TV, it's theirs, and they can do whatever they want with that TV. It's just wrong.
But, they do have that power. All thanks to corruption^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Capitalism.
