No, that's not how evolution works in situations where food is amply available (such as this one).
While this is (for the most part) true, until very recently it was exceedingly rare for an average human individual to have sufficient food for this sort of mutation to be preferable. Even then, this is only in Western society; most of the world's population still don't get very much protein in their diets.
Furthermore, it won't install anythign on your system without asking for an administrator password. Presumably the only version of the MacOS that's affected by the DRMware on this CD is OS 9.
>They are still great for MIDI sequencing
There's actually a really great LA-area industrial band called Babyland that uses an old breadbox Mac (not sure the model) for their MIDI sequencer. I remember it from when I saw them in concert a few months ago.
I work at a college bookstore, and if we need a book for the next simester, we buy it back for half price (a pretty good return, if you ask me). Then again, I can't vouch for all of 'em...
Hell, you can just convert files directly from AAC to mp3; I have to do it all the time to make mp3 mix CDs for the stereo in my mom's car. There's an option in the 'Advanced' menu called 'Convert selection to '. As long as mp3 is set as iTune's default audio codec, then you're good to go. No CDs required.
This is mistake that a lot of people make when compareing Microsoft and Apple; they assume that, like MS, Apple is a software company. They're not. Apple is a hardware company. All of their software products are linked to one of their hardware products. (And they sell the hardware, while they give the software away for free. Imagine that.)
Mac OS - Mac Computers (obviously)
iTunes (specificly iTunes 2+) - iPod
iChat AV - iSight
iDVD/iMovie - DVDR/CDRW Superdrive
They have no reason to go out of their way to make their software compatible with other people's hardware. That would be like asking ATI to write drivers for NVida's graphics cards, i.e. completely pointless.

Read up on your quantum mechanics. Most physisists nowadays will tell you that in the most minute forms, matter/energy is almost completely unpredictable. (Heizenberg Uncertenty Principal, anyone?) Newtonian physics have been out of fashion for decades now, dude.

"Kafkaesque"? I didn't realize they turned people into giant cockroaches at the Genius Bar.
Yeah, that seems like the sort of bone Rami would throw to the fans.
And you don't get transparency with 192kbps MP3, either. What's your point?
Hell, just opening it would crash the system.
Damn, beat me to it.
Sorry to nitpick, but CTHD was Chinese.

Just give it some time; the State-side iTMS has been adding a bunch of indie labels over the last few months.
Eh, I'm just assuming that the original article was correct that the DRMware installs on MacOS. I still have my doubts, too.
It does not.

Two comments and already /.ed. That's gotta be a new record.
Unfortunately, the record labels see things differently.
That doesn't count. It's not like the Canadians have a real governemnt; don't be silly.
...Server dead. After, what, 24 comments?
KOMPRESSOR crush Korgo!
Now all we need is to add an "all your base" joke, and this thread would reach critical meme-mass.
Quite frankly, I'm still not convinced.
Infinium Labs would disagree with you, apparently.

Your sig makes the point better than I could ever hope to.
