crazily enough I read that same book. I even had a few more of them in the series. One was a choose your own adventure book that made you the fourth investigator.
I have about 200+ ablbums of MP3's shared when I get on Kazaa. The funny thing is, I own every single one fo those on CD. To me the statement "I download to try the song out, and if I like it I buy the album," is completly valid. That's what I do. But if I'm not sharing my copy of Sorta's Laugh Out Loud or D.A.R.Y.L.'s The Technology, who's going to be able to try them out first? We don't know if these sharer's actually own the albums they are sharing (most likely they don't), but if they do, I would want the EFF to support them.
But in a hypothetical world with no copyright (which is what is being discussed here) your license is meaningless because it doesn't have copyright law to enforce it.
In addition, the bacterium is rugged and stable, able to grow at temperatures ranging from four to 30 C (39.2 to 86 F), with 25 C (77 F) the optimum.
human body is roughly 98F. They'd die.
Not necessairly. Just because they stop growing doesn't mean they start dying. The bacteria colony could remain the same size until the temperature is lowered.
on 95% of the computers out there, 95% of the files were probably not created by the user. And the ones that were would very easily be able to have meta date. Imagine if you will ripping a CD to MP3. Almost any good software ripper can automatically identify the disc from CDDB, and fill in the ID3 tags. The same thing will work for movies. Most other files come from somewhere other than the user. PDF's, documents, emails, games, and applications are all stuff they've either downloaded (any corporation is going to start including meta data), or bought (don't you think the CD is going to include the data). The files most users create are documents and emails. Documents can easily have meta data forced into them. Instead of providing a file name and path, you give a subject. Emails have all the meta data information input automatically.
Although, if you practice proper organic farming techniques, the fungus isn't a problem. That's the biggest problem when trying to make sure you're eating right. Just because someone says something is all natural, or organic doesn't mean it's better for you. You really have to be a smart shopper. Or buy your goods from quality places (like whole foods).
I myself have given up meat altogether. I simply can't stomach the way it's produced in this country. I try to convice all my friends and family to eat only free range organic meat, but it's a loosing battle sometimes.
It's not that I want to live forever. It that I don't want to die of mad cow disease, get a heart transplant, or get cancer before I turn 70. I may be old, but I'd like a few years to enjoy my retirement. Not to mention orangic food and farming is better for the planet, which for the health of the human race, I'd like to see perserved.
No, it isn't. Back in the good old days of Napster, it was a breeze to found all kinds of interesting music, much of which was not even available in record stores. Trying to discover new music in a record store is HUGE waste of time compared to Internet methods. Certainly the contrast in time and convenience is an element in the success of iTunes.
If this is the case, you need to shop at better record stores. The ones I shop at have huge selections, knowledgeable staff, let you listen to most (if not all of the CD's), and have recomended lists of CD's (if you like band x try band y). If you tell me where you live, I can quite possibly tell you a good place to shop.
that sounds about right, but it varies upon location (you'll make more in SF, than in seattle... and more in seattle than dallas). My GF worked at the whole foods bakery in Dallas, doing office work and made decent money, plus we got a 20% discount.
You my friend have never been to a good organic store. Sometime compare the produce from a store like whole foods to your average supermarket... let say safeway. Whole foods wins out not only in quality but also in variety. That's not even counting the better quality and variety of meat and seafood at a place like whole foods.
As to the debate on whether or not the food is better for you. I know it can't be worse. And it often times tastes better. And it's better on the environment. And if you're eating free range organic meat, you don't have to worry about your brain disintigrating 15 years from now.
unless they all get together in a big price fixing scheme, this isn't going to happen. If everyone keeps their prices at $17, best buy rapes them at $12. They need to lower their prices just to compete.
But that hollywood blockbuster charges $10 per viewing for the first 6 months of release. Now I for one don't want the music companies following the pricing method!
I have to commend you on your list. Most everything is good. I haven't heard that particular Lucksmiths album (I only have 2), but they are really good, see them live if you get the oppertunity. I saw them open up for Lady Bug Transistor and they made a fan for life. That Postal Service album is just amazing. It makes me feel really happy to listen to it, and if you like it, you should check out Death Cab for Cutie. That My Bloody Valentine album suprised me a bit. An oldy but a very good album. I'm a big fan of that 'shoegazing' style of music. Do you also like Jesus and Mary Chain? If so, you should also check out the Black Rebel Motorcylce Club. If you're looking for other great stuff try: the two newest flaming lips albums, the new super furry animals, and the new blur record.
No one is going to by a CD-R. They look cheap. And they often sound cheap. They sometimes won't play in some players (and not at all in older DVD players), they wear out, and they're much more suceptible to scratches. If you want to sell CD's and not be laughed at, you have to get it mastered and pressed.
apparantly you don't know too much about the music buisness. Indie bands usually make next to nothing from touring. Touring is just a commercial to get you to buy T-Shirts, CD's, and posters at the show.
So tell me, what format do you rip it in? Unless you're using FLAC, you're keeping an inferior copy to the original.
If you don't enjoy the process of buying music, discovering new bands, and actually looking at the liner notes, you simply are not a music fan. Complaining about the time it takes to go buy a CD is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard (maybe only second to not wanting to was storage space on a physical disc). You simply don't like music that much. Sure it's good to have on in the background for you, and you might enjoy a good song now and again, but if music dissapeared from your life, would you notice?
The problem is, so many rock albums have only a few good songs on them.
Just out of curiosity, what rock albums are you speaking of? Recently I've heard/purchased: the new radiohead, hot hot heat, elefant, super furry animals, interpol, etc. I pretty much have liked all the songs... maybe I'm just easy to please though.
I lived in north dallas for a while... in an apartment on coit between frankfurt and the G. Bush expressway. No DSL. The worst part is though that all the apartment complexes contract out their cable, so no cable modem either. Then I moved to Oak Cliff, and had my choice of DSL or cable...
I agree totally... although, I will probably replace all my CD's in the future with SACD or DVD-A (assuming one of them takes off). I just find the physical disc to be a better deal. Not to mention it's much more satisfying to look through a shelf of a 1000 cd's then to browse through directories on my computer.
That's just ignorance on the part of who ever wrote the article. The RIAA is not listening to random packets floating along the internet and finding file traders that way. That would be illegal, and not only that it would be nearly impossible. They're doing it the simple way, logging on to Kazza and searching for a file.

Mod this up please. I never have mod points when I need them.
ls 'select files where type="audio" and type="video" and artist="shakira"'
not to nitpick but this would be better:
ls 'select files where (type="audio" or type="video") and artist="shakira"'
And they have the right to be stupid, he never denied that fact. That doesn't change the fact that yes they are morons.

Alot of CD's contain bonus DVD's, music videos (on CD), web links to exclusive content, and other such material. At least as good as a poster IMHO.
