Well... yeah, but how does that ensure Mr. Honest doesn't have to go out and buy a new DVD player just to play his new DRM'd discs? Or playing it on his laptop during flights? The only way they could do that is to pirate it.
"How can we get them to buy our records? What's something we can offer that the pirates can't?"
"Ummm... liner notes?"
Funny you should say that. I downloaded Sgt Pepper the other day (I own it twice on vinyl and didn't want to bother with bringing the record player downstairs), and when it finally was done I discovered much more than just the FLACs. There were something like 5 pictures of the front, back, inside cover, cd, etc. Then there was a word document that contained all the linear notes and pictures.
I remember I did something like this awhile ago. There was a comment that gave WAY too much information about that guy's life. The comment was meant to be funny, but in an attempt to be funny myself I modded him informative.
I was metamodded unfair. It sucked. I mean, the guy already had perfect karma (as do I, and I believe the guy replying to me). I was just having a little fun. Where's the harm?
Yeah. It's really crippling being able to run a variety of commercial software including all the latest games.
Sheesh, what's with all the OS hate around here? Linux, Windows, BSD, Mac OS, Mac OS X, etc are just tools. Tools that can help you get jobs done. Use the best tool for the job. I wouldn't imagine editing video on anything but OS X, just like I wouldn't imagine playing games on anything but Windows, just like I wouldn't imagine running a dedicated server on anything but Linux.
No one OS is crippling. Limiting yourself due to fanaticism is.
Oh I knew that. I was just comparing the two's look and feel. I really could care less about rendering engines and such. I was just inferring that they're both slimmed down browsers built for speed and versitility. I'm sure Camino is too. I tried it way back when it was still Chimera, and didn't like the look and feel so much. I'm content with Safari anyway. But thanks for the recommendation.
If you really want the extensions, they should work in Firefox for OS X. I don't know for sure though. I use Safari, which I find is basically firefox, except in cocoa-y goodness.
Yahoo News slideshow does this a lot. Basically they have a blurb they want to cover, but no picture. So they take a semi-related picture, post a caption, and then mention the blurb right after it. Think about it, is Kerry riding a bike newsworthy in the first place?
If you're not sarcastic, you're extremely cynical. I like you.
About the email addresses, I used one and gave away a few to some of my friends who were begging for them. I had about 3 left, and when I tried to use one the other day, Google told me it expired. So tough luck. You could always do what I do and put "Will sell soul for gmail account" in your sig. Worked for me.
A few years back I used to watch professional wrestling, and there was a wrestler named Triple H. Anyway, when he came on stage, he would take a swig of water and spray it in the air. The water bottle always had its label taken off. Anyway, one time he came out with a labelled water bottle. It was in New York, and green, so I instantly recognized it as Poland Springs. However when they zoomed in on him, the bottle was blurred. I thought that was kind of funny.
I guess they didn't want to be accused of supporting one water company over another or something. But this doesn't just happen in the Olympics.

Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as you're told. Get out of the road if you want to grow old.
That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. Of course they don't need them. Adding seat belts would be a saftey hazard. If I fall on a motorcycle, the last thing I want is to have a motercycle strapped to me. The whole purpose of a seatbelt is so you don't smash into the front of the car/train/bus. That doesn't make sense on a motorcycle.

I've said this before, and I think it works here as well.
johnkerry.com is running Apache on Redhat
georgewbush.com is running IIS on Windows Server 2003
Take from this what you want.

Which is just what this is trying to prevent.
TIME to get YOURSELF a new KEYboard with a FUNCTIONING caps lock KEY.
Or you could not use hymn and just burn the files to a disc and re-rip into mp3.
Dude, calm down.

FUNNY!? /sorry, couldn't resist //watch this get modded informative
Or maybe you'll be really really lucky with your aim and accidently give yourself laser eye surgery.
Give a mouse a shark, he'll want a pool.
Give a mouse a pool, he'll want an underground labratory to put them all in.
Give a mouse an underground lab, he'll want a laptop with wifi to take over the world.
Give a mouse a laptop with wifi, he'll want a coffee table to set it on.
Give a mouse a table to set it on, he'll want an optical mouse that works with the glass.
Give a mouse the new Logitech.

Profit.

Either they're from Brazil, or truth in advertising is getting pretty strict!

That happens everywhere, and I mean _everywhere_.

I feel like a huuuuuge nerd understanding that joke.
For those who don't, here's a quick view on red/blue shift
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I've looked over jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is no bad dream.
Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.
He is trolling. This is an old troll.
