Not an inherited right, more like an allowance. But I dont see it that way, and I wish others woould see ift different too. I see a music CD as an Advertisement. If I wish I can go see the people WORK by performing (and oddly enough most bands make money during this part of their existance). I wish I had such a nice job that I could work a week and then charge others for years to come. Don't tolerate it anymore, its time artists work and realize that we humans like to share experiences, including listening to music.
Yeah but you might need a nutritionist to know just how bad soybeans are for you. And by the way if you feed starving people you get (guess what?) more kids! What a nice endless cycle you propose to have.............
The sheep will follow and do as they are told. They were dumb enough to think that Windows was good enough for them in the past, and now that thier computer is old and slow (mostly due to thier current OS being impacted by spyware, bloat, and windows itself) they will call up dell and order another. Seriously. I know people with P4 2 gig processers and 512 megs of ram talking about their computers like they were built a hundred years ago. Hell we have laptops at work that have 512megs ram, fast processors, and Nvidia GO 7800's in them. Due to the policy of ghosting "level playing field" pre made drives to ALL computers , these laptops do not have the correct video drivers, and so they seem slow. Do you think the IT department would fix the driver issue? NO NO NO! Middle Mangement has slow power points presentations, and therefore is budgeting up for NEW COMPUTERS!!!!! And those people are the ones who make decisions to buy new computers for their families.
Although I don't believe in copyright at all, I would like to point out that even if a copyright is given forever it doesn't mean that profit on a single idea would continue indefinitely. The motivation to make a NEW idea is still there, its just going to come from someone else.
I would have to agree. Low priced "high speed" internet just inst much better then dial up. Verizon and SBC and Comcast all suck. And thats why I end up spending more to get real service.
However, most feel that their work should be protected and they should get some sort of compensation from it (a perfectly justifable argument.
Yeah, and thats why they should get off their ass and work (perform). I would like a job where I create one widget and then the company makes copies and I get paid for each copy sold. For Musicians those days are gone, and people should do as they were told when they were children: be nice and share.
* Since Santa's momentum vector is known, then his location cannot be precisely known, according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Santa and his sleigh are actually "smeared out" over the earth, in a similar way to an electron "smeared out" around the nucleus of an atom. He can actually be everywhere at once.
* Also, the extremely high velocities the reindeer can reach make relativistic effects possible. Santa could even arrive at some places shortly before leaving the North Pole. Santa could take on the attributes of the (admittedly theoretical) tachyon.
I would agree with Parent's Post. Overdosed America is a good read. Abramson is a capable writer, and is an illuminating book both on the problems with the US health care system, and the doctor - patient relationship as well. He helps educate the reader on the disease and the history of treatment as he discusees the therapy.
I have read several resports, articles, and books on the commercialism of our health care system. Why do we spend the most money (by far) on medicine in this country only to find ourselves ranked fairly low in the industrial countries in terms of actual health?
Is it any suprise that many countries ban advertising of drugs, while in our country samples are given to doctors and ads are placed where consumers will see them, while at the same time Journal writers are on the drug companies pay roll, and members of the FDA have stock portfolios filled with thier (guess what) former employers, the drug companies?
I have 3 windows machines that havnt been updated in YEARS. And they wont be. They simply dont go on the internet, that simple.
Install linux as a seperate partition and use that for online surfing, problem (and future problems) solved. BTW the side effect of this is that you find yourself rarely using windows, and when you do you realize just how god awful it really is.
All of the shows put on Archive.org were put there by the fans. Many of the shows had gone through several lineages such as a a cassette tape made from a patch at the soundboard then transferred to another cassette then edited using an audience patch for dropouts then to a lossless format. Thousands of hours had gone into preserving and restoring and deducing lineage of these shows. Many times, the dead themselves did not have a copy at all, having lost/broken/misplaced/ never recorded in the first place.
So: How do you decide WHO owns that multigeneration, edited, fanbase cataloged (yes the Deadheads have a system that keeps track of all the lineages, the tapers, the recording equipment used, the show dates, diginoise intriduced. etc. etc.), hand passed around long before the internet, show?
More importantly, if you upload that to a website with the intent to share it with others following a policy by the band and by the website, does this band have the right to take that away, claim its thiers, and then sell that back to you?
I agree. If I used windows, I would expect Sony to allow me to have a "qualified" computer specialist back up my important data, reinstall windows, and configure my computer to be in the same state it was in before their software damaged it. Also, they should be required to pay damages to the developers of LAME for violating the GPL.
Anything less just isnt fair.
* Vitamin deficiences and plain malnutrition are rareities.
Actually we are the most overfed vitamin deficient group of people in the world. Our food is designed to satisfy tastes, with companies trying hard to insure you dont feel full for long. Our farms soil is depleted of minerals, because we rely on synthetic fertilizers only to get plants big and pest free.
No, we are in very bad shape nutritionally.
Yeah funny that, I would never use a google toolbar, given that I can add all that functionality in my web browser anyway. Someone else mentioned that google makes things people want, and then asked for the linux devs to hear that. LOL
I got Linux right here, and you know that spell check? I got it built in.........no toolbar needed!
Yes they have a policy of being biased. Myrdoch himself used to send down directives on exactly which way he wanted the story slanted. There were focus reports do make people believe a certain way, and "phrases" that were approved to sway public opinion. Fox is VERY biased.

Get real and quit bothering with the toy OS.

You used reliable and Outlook in the same sentence. This is not possible!
No, but I could make one.
Not so fast: There is a reason why most Asian soy based foods are either fermented, cultured or innoculated with fungus.
Well that was my point. If we export anything as charity, food itself is not the answer. Solving the problems you mention are what I was driving at.
Now thats some good reply!

I like the idea that it is alternatively fueled, but that's nothing new.
However, you take away safety requirements, and I will make you a fast high mileage car.
Big Deal.

Well it makes sense: Santa and Microsoft are all about the toys, real os users know better.
Man your physics is so 70's.

2 things:
Number 1: Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Number 2: The fact that I cant buy music with it is why I like it BETTER then iTunes.

I agree, but I go further. There was only 1 good movie. Thats it, the rest were mediocre to awful.
