There's probably great musicains currently that wouldn't have been sucessful back then, and there's also probably lots of great musicians that nobody knows about because they never made it.
There hardly seems to have been a time where 'good' musicians all got recognised/whatever, I don't think it's just a trait of today's music.
It might be my ignorance, or the article's over simplification, but isn't this the stupidest idea ever?
Do cinema chains charge customers for the movie or simply access to a dark room with chairs and the right to buy popcorn? Maybe they should point out the ridiculous and shocking situation where they have to pay for movies to show on their screens and how surely the film industry should be the ones paying to have their movies shown on these screens?
Again I could be looking at this the wrong way, but don't ISP customers pay for the service of having the ISP delivier the websites from wherever they want to their computer? Or are they simply paying for access to the phone network, and the companies are now expecting the people hosting websites to do the same? To me this sounds like telcos trying to charge people twice for the one transaction.
'As millions of Americans sat with eyes affixed to their televisions during the second week of the NFL playoffs, a different type of sport was being birthed into the public spotlight merely a channel away...'
How does millions of people watching another program on at the same time help the cause?
It's suprising that not one of those FOUR companies said "What the hell! We'll just hire some new people without firing him because he's such an asset to our company".
"All I should have to do is run the shoes through the microwave and the RFID tag should fry, right?"
Finding a microwave big enough could be a problem, but I'd suggest that you run really really fast.
Although the article says they intend for the robot to take action, surely they couldn't be doing much more than photographing any evil-dooers they come across as chasing down and following people would be quite a challenge.
Although, imagine how awesome a giant six legged horse/spider roaming the streets at night would be.
They don't advertise it obviously but this party has huge ties to the Assemblies of God religion so they aren't simply a party for family's. They are foolishly trying to get a few seats this election with an anti-Greens scare campaign so they won't get any/many seats, definately not enough to pass something like this. I doubt any major party will support this move either - despite the preference deals with the Liberal party.
The trade act is not guaranteed yet (from an Australian perspective at least) the ALP (current opposition) have said they will block the act in the senate if the govenrnment try to pass it.
I would have thought the Microsoft would have wanted some change to the name of the company too?
Surely the same problems will arise if he's still calling his business/site Mike Rowe Soft or whatever?
The different versions are probably different 'rips' of the cds provided by Sprague, or if he ripped + released them himself, different versions of this rip.

Well if they steal the pie then they have a free lunch (assuming it was a decent sized pie), and they're no better than google.

...one giant leap for mankind.
You could have a 'Gas the Jews' game, not to provoke racism or hate crimes, but to reflect the harshness of gassing large numbers of people.
How do you think Activision would go with that one?
Not that this has anything to do with tv really...

This will stop spyware dead in its tracks, just like how when the "spam king" got sued all spam ended. ...
Well, not to the stupid ones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Benjamin_Parker and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man both link/redirect to the same page, clearly giving away his secret identity, if the Parkers can put up with it, then it shouldn't be a big deal for Tron/Boris F./Boris Floricic 's family.
This could be how future governments view us.

North Korea, South Korea, what's the difference? It's still all Korea.

...will they name it after me?
Another sighting of the Australian puma!
...because now politicians and parents won't be able to pin the blame on video games the next time some brat does something stupid.

Bah, just ignore me please!
Yeah, but they don't advertise those products as being 99% French or 50% genuine ham or even medically approved.
