Well said, keep the source clean and leave the volume to the listener.
I have not heard the album yet, (this won't stop me from buying it though) but if the sound is clipping that often I would hope that they had some plan for this record. The talent in and around this band would make me think this might have been done for a reason. What that is, I don't know.
It is not only how monopolies work, but how many large companies deal with suppliers. Go ask a Tier 1 or 2 auto parts supplier. They get told how much to make, when to make it and how much they will get paid for it. And then are told next year, we want 15% more product at 20% less cost. Deliver or die.
No this wasn't a joke. It did happen to my uncle (well, great uncle) in the 60's.

According to Dictionary.com it could be defined as "Poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended". The fact that he quit to prevent the very injury he sustained, could make this situation ironic. If he had quit for other reasons, then yes it would just be a coincidence.

OK, is this ironic? My uncle quit stock car racing because my aunt was worried to much about him. So he decided to be a track announcer, and during the first race a car lost control and hit the tower. He broke his leg.
Maybe, maybe not, I also think this would reduce support as you can eliminate probles related to your PC as you can try another one, or blame it on the ISP.. I would also suggest that a person with a multipc setup is probably smarter then the average computer user and would call support less.
I would disagree, most people either don't say they have a router or believe the salesman about the ease of use and reliability of their $50 router. Or, that just because one out of three computers in the house can't get online, it must be the "internet" that is the problem.
I'd say the main reason for sniffing out NAT is to get the money for all the extra IP's people would need.
If I noticed a student with close to 2 terabytes on his server, not only would I take note, but I would be finding out who he is and how much can I get from his family for funding.
No, with that logic, it makes the MTU IT department, the hardware manufacturers, the OS vendors and programmers responsible.
Heck, i'd counter sue stating that since these CD's did not have any copyright protection on them that it is the recording industry itself is to blame. Let's see, make it a $98 Billion countersuit. Is this any more bizzarre?
...I seem to be able to install almost any form of *nix on practically any machine, and it usually works. Kinda spooky if you ask me. I will admit that not every component works, but I generally have a usable system. I have walked up to a machine that someone else had a failed install and it works for me.
I started with Mandrake 7.2 on an Inspiron 3800. Over the past few years I have tried, Red Hat, Lycoris and Debian (Gentoo and Slackware don't seem that forboding now). I was even happy with getting FreeBSD 4.5 running, even without network access. I will admit I generally stick with the defaults on install, and it seems to work. I just installed Mandrake 9.1 on the laptop, and let it repartition WinME. And whaddya know, it worked!
RIAA: Hmm I got an idea! let's sue the guy that is pointing out all of these MP3's in a nice easy to find index!
BANG -- sound of RIAA shooting the messanger.
It is easy to forget about the "electronic snooping". But when we hear people talking about watching our neighbours and co-workers, it sounds like something that would happen years ago in a far off land.
Where is the line drawn on what is given up to protect this "freedom"?

Don't bother buying it. It's one of the worst recordings made this century.
This is a sad day, Rush and "worst recording...ever" in the same thought. *sigh* Maybe a live DVD might be better then. I need to hope anyways.

Is this a conspiracy to sign people up?
Maybe, they are thinking in "media" terms, but this is a hack (in the good sense). Now only if they know the difference.
Ok, but where does the bubblegum wrapper and candybar fit in?
Oh wait that was MacGyver.....never mind.

He was actually running an indexing server.

Interesting point.
So if this 97 Billion is the little starter suit to build up a war chest...does that mean the 97 Trillion was actually designed for Microsoft?

What...this type of activity leading to something like NightWatch?
Scary thought. It would be nice if cooler heads had prevailed, but good luck getting this genie back in the bottle.
