Your responses were all good responses, and in fact I agree with them. I am a mac owner and I've even attempted to install linux on my mac for reasons 1,2 and 3.
I didn't disparage. I just pointed out that the response was unrelated to the question.
Actually, flex-fuel vehicles that run on any mixture of gasoline and ethanol up to 85% ethanol are already hitting the market in mass quantities, under the radar. Check out all these cars with the flex-fuel option. On some models, it's even standard.
That's 19 just in 2004. With computerized fuel injection it becomes pretty trivial to modify cars so they can take advantage of those nice environmentalist tax incentives(even if the purchasers of these cars never runs it on e85)
I wouldn't say he invented the remix(despite having an album whose title claims that). The hip-hop remix of today is an extension of what the original pioneers of hip-hop did when they would rewind and blend recordings with itself and other recordings live. They would use the crossfader to literally "hip hop" between two recordings.
Re-engineering and rereleasing studio recordings as a new product is nothing new either. Back in the day, bootleggers would take original albums, combine left and right channels via the out of phase stereo method so that what is common to both tracks drops out, and then either try to pass it off as a studio outtake or combine it with new instrumentation and sell it as an alternate version. Oftentimes very little besides the vocals would remain with this technique. "Birthday" by The Beatles for example.
I also wouldn't say that inventing the remix is something to be especially proud of.
I just separated my cd's into discs I bought without extensively downloading the tracks from the disc first, and ones that either I downloaded most of it or had a friend copy. Most of my cd's I wouldn't have purchased if it weren't for violating copyrights. The thing is, most of my cd's are not published on RIAA labels. I think that p2p hurts big-label sales, but not cd sales in general. I think that in general, the music industry benefits from p2p. The ones that are hurt are the ones with the biggest voice however.
You'd rather not participate in brainwashing? But apparently you do watch TV, since you introduced your point with a Simpsons reference.
Unless you only started watching Simpsons after you bought your Tivo or you only read the scripts on the internet, then you must not mind being subjected to it THAT much...
It must be a little odd to know that a growing plurality of your tissue used to be someone else's."
I doubt the sixth month old really knows that though...

http://www.spamgourmet.com/ Your idea is too late.
Wouldn't it be just as light, slim and quiet with os x? The question is why run linux on a mac, not why choose a mac.

Because the driver would drink it, become poisoned by the denaturants and then the car would continue to drive itself?

Clever comment and a subscriber to boot! I like your style.
Government shouldn't regulate capitalism beyond enforcing contracts and ensuring consumer safety and truth in advertising.
They shouldn't.
Monopoly is part of capitalism. Fucking get over it.
Not really.
Linux on the iPod.
If you could get to the cdr drive, you'd be inside the machine. If you were inside the machine, you'd just take the cash.
Baahh.
"One's?" What the fuck is wrong with me!
I thought I knew the difference between plural and possessive.
The old one's aren't as pretty.

You're dead on. This scheme may be an effective and smart idea, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
When I pay for internet access, I expect to be able to access any public site on the internet if I so with.
The problem with spam-filtering schemes is what about people like this to whom there is no unwanted email?
It's really not fair to those customers. This is why filtering has to be controlled by the user and nobody else should make the decisions.
Do you ever go out though? If you have a job, I assume you still walk or subway to work, and a walkman + CD's would be nice wouldn't it?
As far as richness of sound, I believe it, but are you sure a nice equalizer couldn't make your music sound the way you wish?
On a sidenote, you CAN put a phonograph in your car. I did it once. It didn't work very well.
Let's go a step further and call it cybertheft/anti-corporate terrorism.
They're ok.
Why CD's are slipping down the charts
From the article: "Have you noticed that the singles and albums charts increasingly seem to bear almost no relation?"
and
"The music industry is being sustained by middle-aged men who can't use the internet."
I think there's a lot of truth there.
I found yours to be trite rather than funny, and his to be funny.
