My suggestion would allow artists to piggyback on the infrastructure of the big guys (as is done in other industries - via regulated access arrangements/market rules - think gas transmission pipelines). It might not be the best model but is an alternative.

Does firefox memory get worse for you when you keep increasing the open tabs & windows? Or does it max out?
My experience with firefox, chromium and seamonkey is that I don't care about the memory usage but speed is what matters to me and there isn't much difference between them.
I use seamonkey as general browser and for imap for yahoo mail - (fuck that js webmail except at work where I have no choice and use firefox over IE6) and have thunderbird running for a whole plethora of RSS feeds. Then I sometimes start up firefox and chromium. Seamonkey runs for days or until the machine overheats - maxes out at about 750Mb 3 windows, numerous tabs. Occassionally get a bit of slowdown in responding.

Drop everything, wipe the files you have, reformat and reinstall your computer, create a plausible deniability claim to any account you used of this that can be tied to you.

Got an early start on Sunday.
I just tried to post a journal entry
It may have worked.
Couldn't convince the link to linkify (fish slap with John Cleese at 72).
Couldn't be assed working on it, coz so much stuff has been broken and no idea what will or won't work.

isn't Metro meant to be a one size fits all? And no desktop apps.
So if you come up with a world beating vertical app you have to go thru Microsoft.

The movie and music industry make material available globally and easily themselves or the governments of the world regulate their distribution chain.
Also the governments audit and oversee all their artist contracts and revenue streams.
See how much they like government regulation and scream about the idea.

"Iran will take action if a U.S. aircraft carrier which left the area because of Iranian naval exercises returns to the Gulf, the state news agency quoted army chief Ataollah Salehi as saying on Tuesday."
and the US is known for backing down and allowing Iran to dictate where and when it can the "high seas" even though it won't sign the the Law Of The Sea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Convention_on_the_Law_of_the_Sea

"The terrorists air is not under US jurisdiction"
NDAA says different. However fucked up the legislation is.

I did some benchmark runs the other day on freshly built chromium and firefox, but didn't save the links

firefox was faster
I did see the extensions mentioned - but they were released about the same time as LT's post.
"he still stuck with GNOME even though he complained about it"
