Unfortunately, IIRC, John Cougar was forced by his label to use that name. He hated it but it was supposed to be more sellable. In later albums, you notice the name became John Cougar MELLENCAMP, then changed altogether to John Mellencamp when he became a big enough star to dictate back to the label.
I know about something in advance. Sometime in the near future there will be a DOS attack on the Internet root name servers. The entire internet will be down, your hard drive will be crashed, your hair dryer will stop working, and the water in your home will turn to blood. This will happen! Prepare. You have been warned.

Momma, I've got two strong hands. And they're fine as far as hands go I can shoulder the future, I can face the wind For the dream that I must follow It's a dream that can kill with its beauty It's a hurt that can heal with its pain And with all of these miles that lie before me I may never get home again
But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids I'll carry the scars of generations gone by I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this I'll carry on, I'll carry on
I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave Said goodbye to my brave young companions But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break As bright and as fine as the morning I don't know where this road will take me But they say there's a place there for a man And I'm only afraid that my dreams may betray me And I'll never get home again
But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids And I'll carry the scars of generations gone by I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this I'll carry on, I'll carry on
And oh, I can shoulder the future, I can brave the wind Oh, we go on, we go on, but we never get home again
So I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids I'll carry the scars of generations gone by I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this I'll carry on, I'll carry on

Is that most geeks are male, most slashdotters are geeks, most males are left-brained, and communications is a predominantly right-brained activity. Is it any wonder that IT is consistently faulted for having poor communications skills? Reading this book will not change the fundamental problem.
Please! If a story is a dupe, so what? Here's a thought. Don't read it. Don't even comment. Don't even "just say no". (OK, so that was several thoughts;-) Get outside, breathe the fresh air, and quit trying to come up with clever quotes that express your angst over a duplicate/semi-duplicate story.</RANT>

Just don't eat one of the little buggers that's been inserted into your Big Mac. You would be trackable for at least that day (or so, depends on your cycle).
Looks like EMP is the way to go. Anyone know where I can pick up a personal unit?
It's enough trouble to keep the $500.00 radio in the Jeep from getting stolen (much less my Jeep itself!). How am I gonna keep this $2000.00 unit from getting lifted the first time I leave my SUV in the parking garage overnight?
Further, what will going through the automatic car wash do to this unit? Scrape it right off? Clean up the signal a little?
Wake me when they build the unit into the car or inside the car.

Until Micro$oft bundles WMP in with their new version of MSLinux we have a choice. Windows users have a choice too, but with WMP bundled right in it's harder for the masses to recognize that they need a change.
In general, DRM issues aside on this question, I would encourage Microsoft to be a player in the Linux software space. However, they will have to unlearn so many of their common mistakes before their products will be accepted. To wit, spying on end-user usage patterns, enforcing DRM, and charging for software.
As Linux users, we could benefit from having a major software manufacturer creating standardized applications. However, Micro$oft would likely be hurting their OS business, so I wouldn't expect any major apps like Office to be forthcoming.
Why, when I was young, we didn't have them newfangled compooters and sech. All we had was kalkulators and we was grateful!
Of course, even then the prof's were always complaining about how the cal-kylators was always distracting from the class. Hard to teach with all that klicketty-klacketty goin' on.
And them student's was dumb, too! Couldn't find the 30th decimal place of Pi without a calculator. Heck, they wouldn't know i if it smacked 'em in the face!
You young whippersnappers got it easy!

Momma, I've got two strong hands.
And they're fine as far as hands go
I can shoulder the future, I can face the wind
For the dream that I must follow
It's a dream that can kill with its beauty
It's a hurt that can heal with its pain
And with all of these miles that lie before me
I may never get home again
But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I'll carry the scars of generations gone by
I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave
Said goodbye to my brave young companions
But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break
As bright and as fine as the morning
I don't know where this road will take me
But they say there's a place there for a man
And I'm only afraid that my dreams may betray me
And I'll never get home again
But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
And I'll carry the scars of generations gone by
I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
And oh, I can shoulder the future, I can brave the wind
Oh, we go on, we go on, but we never get home again
So I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I'll carry the scars of generations gone by
I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this
I'll carry on, I'll carry on

You are correct sir! I now see the more insidious mechanism(s). Thank you for your correction.
