I think what is stopping people now is a lack of legal content that they can share
I agree, and frankly, what is availible usually isn't very good so it requires a lot of "filtering" to find much you like. I think that this will change, though, once artists realize they can make money more directly.
Hey now, it's not their fault. It is just that evil dictators pay so much better! And we all know that if you work for a corporation you are only beholden to your profits.
I get the feeling from your response that you consider yourself #5. I apologize if you are not a bush supporter.
As someone who has educated yourself on the issue I have to ask what has persuaded you? No trolling intended actually curious. The only reasons I ever hear are the tired kerry==flipflopper and something about being a christian or moral or something....
Yeah, but I guess you have to give him some credit for coming up with all those different ways to call Kerry a flipflopper. That GW, what a grand skill of synnonymity.
Well, we may have gone to war under false intelligence, creating a stronger terrorist threat than ever, meanwhile killing a thousand of our own troops and thousands of innocent Iraqis....BUT YOU'RE A FLIP-FLOPPER!!!!!!
...think it's their God-given right to free music or movies simply because they're available to download....what needs evaluating isn't the violation of copyright, rather, the purpose and effect of copyright itself.
That's interesting because everybody accepts cops setting up speed traps and using radar guns to catch speeders.
Well, you don't do time when you are caught speeding. Which is even more psychotic because driving dangerously can actually get people killed whereas pirating music could potentially lose someone a tiny amount of money.
The problem with this statement is that, to literally 10 million people in this country, anyone making $30,000 a year or more is 'rich' compared to them, so I'm sure you won't mind if your income tax is raised 10% since you can 'afford it'.
uhhh....wtf does that have to do with anything?? I know for a fact that in King County WA that anything below 40,000 is considered poverty level (I am sure we are not the only ones). But nice job pulling random numbers out of your ass and passing them off as fact. I am pretty sure when people say let the rich pay more taxes they are not talking about people below the official poverty level.
I dunno about you, but I've often seen sales clerks spending a lot of time refilling the paper rolls, dealing with ink outages, paper jams, "Sorry, but do you mind if I don't give you a receipt, it's not working," "Sorry, but the ink is really faint."
WTF, you a diebold astroturfer or something??
riddle me this batman, you ever NOT get the reciept you requested at the ATM?? These are the same people that are supposed to be designing the election machines!!! I am having a REALLY hard time believing this is just incompetence!
One would think that the fact that you have to water cool the thing would imply that you are wasting energy... BUt i guess if Canada is cold and stuff....
What does god have to do with this? The primary reason for goverment recognition of family to to encourage children and a stable social environment for future citizens. If you're not encouraging "family", then there is no point in government recognized union. This has nothig to do with "god", just common sense.
I have heard this argument before and don't buy it. Hetero couples are not required to create a family in order to get married. Why should homo couples be held to something that is not required of hetero couples?
I would say that a good portion of the relaxation comes from the fact that you are on vacation no? Also, when you are in the middle of the woods or whatever there really isn't that much you need to do on the internet. But as soon as you get home all the stuff you have been putting off while on vacation need to get done and the net is a really good tool to use for such purposes.
That would actually be kinda neat. Is there some way to open your printer to the world without opening your system to all these exploits? I think that would be a pretty neat art project actually...
It is feasible to download a high quality episode or two now, but full seasons at high quality are still too large -- but not so out of reach once your connection speed is quadrupled in coming years.
We already have the speeds for this! It is the availibility and reliability that is lacking. If content providers would realize they are selling a service intead of a product they would provide access to the full season at the properly commoditized price and people would buy it.
hmmm....it is a good idea, but I see ZERO sample tracks on this site (i could just be blind though). I have heard the name in relation to various "industrial" bands but have serious doubts about a band until I can at least hear a track or two. They really need to put up a couple of tracks for newbies. It is not like they get any radio airtime or anything.

If corporations are allowed to make decisions based on economics not morals.. then I get to make decisions based on economics not morals when I'm dealing with corporations... fair.
wow, I just wanted to re-iterate this. If i wasn't busy whoring my project I would make this my sig. Really, it is one of those things you read that kinda give you the shivers becaue they are so friggin right.
P.S. check out Crackpot They are really good, on an independent label and give away songs for free hehehe.
heh...of course it was, ^H's dead nerdy/. joke giveaway
Fuel cells will not provide us with energy. They will only help store it.
If "they" already have the hydrogen and we "liberate" it then it is a source of energy. If we have to produce the hydrogen via electricity then it is a battery.
I am a Southern Baptist who believes in the literal truth of the Bible. I also believe that phrases like "a thousand thousand angels" means "more people than I've seen in one place during my life in a sparsely-populated desert region"
What????? Dude....If you believed in the literal truth of the bible then BY DEFINITION you must believe that a thousand thousand angels means A THOUSAND THOUSAND ANGELS!

after 1927: great depression, WWII
Just thought I would point that out since the responses thus far seem to have missed the point.
sheesh! Sometimes a guy just wants to drink something other than a twelve million calorie mug of porridge!

So pointing out a mans own words is now dishonorable?
... eat ... babies". He said ALL of those words! Also, he has never gone on record saying he DOESN'T eat babies!
Knowingly taking a quote out of context with the intention of misleading people is dishonorable. Yes.
I have this great quote by GW. "I
Crap, I even live here and didn't think of that joke!
In a related note we are the heroin capital of the US.... Really.

shit, and here I was thinking that people were worried about OVERpopulation.
high-tech and low consumption are not mutually exclusive.
