Has MySpace *really* bought a copy of all the music that they fed into their fingerprinting system, so that it will be able to recognize copyrighted songs that are uploaded?
How is it that Anybody chooses to run the Alexa toolbar, when "tracking which web sites you visit" is such a clear synonym to "Spyware"?
This reveals another skew on the ratings that Alexa can provide:
Any site that gets a high Alexa rating is a site that is frequented by Inexperienced and gullible Internet Explorer for Windows users who don't mind having spyware installed on their computer.
This seems to me to mean: If the site has a high Alexa rating, it is a site that I don't want to visit.
Alexa is... Spy Ware!!
Come on, DCMA even seems MORE appropriate (even if inaccurate): "Digital Copyright Millenium Act"... don't the RIAA/MPAA see this as the "Digital Copyright Millenium"?
Also, While I like Delphi (though I haven't tried Kylix yet), VFP embodies simply power... Delphi is as type-demanding as C++, which really is a drag when trying to develop a functionality-rich application.
Delphi produces lean, fast programs, but it can take alot of code to accomplish simple things.
VFP produces new, powerful features with little code, and isn't 'anal' about data types.
VFP is an extremely powerful, fully object oriented, RAD tool for developing database applications.
It is often compared with Delphi and VB... neither comparison does it justice:
Imagine the OOP power and flexibility of Delphi, combined with the Ease of use (and variant-like weak typing) of VB without the horrible, inconsistent VB syntax (not to mention that VB is not OOP at all).
All the variations on C (C++, C#, Java, etc) are more flexible and powerful (without considering data access power), but they take MUCH more code (and libraries) to accomplish the same tasks that can be done gracefully with VFP.
VFP is not "just another DB"... nothing comes close to the power of the fully OOP VFP developement package, in terms of Rapid development, reusablility of objects and its built-in data engine.

Kinda like the former Soviet Union under Stalin, where every citizen that still remains is taken care of?
But, once this becomes common, who would ever want to eat bananas (or breath mints) again!?
The first sentence would begin "Your reading this EULA indicates your acceptance of it...."
That's one HUGE music library!

Then the RIAA can go back to sueing the "few" misfit technocrats who insist on listening to music on the mp3 player of their choice.
