I don't want all the music artists doing a 'Linkin Park' and releasing albums with 30 minutes of music on them.
Tell me any album that has more than 30 minutes of music on it that is worth listening to from the last ten years.
I would say the only album I ever bought that I listened to every track on was Led Zepplin Remasters, but even then, that is a compilation of stuff taken from other albums, and some album tracks didn't make it to the 2 CDs that I bought.
With shite albums with 3 decent songs on them, all that get released in the "preview-Album-song-song-work in studio while filler tracks make up the time-preview" cycle that pop and manufactured music puts out, there can be no truly great albums that make 15 worth paying.

Thanks to it, I only rarely see ads of any sort. Including here. To those of you who are going to suggest this is stealing: shut up, I don't care about your tirade.
Room on that wagon for another?
Why should I view adverts? When I want to buy something I will go out and find information on the thing I want to buy, and decide on more than a marketing budget which brand I require. If you spend more on marketing than you do on development and support, then you're hardly going to get my money either way.
What you say is great, but as soon as you set up your own email server to get around blocks like this, some TWAT like AOL comes along and decides that anyone that uses their own email server, from their own home is a spammer and is auto-blocked.
I have been running my own email server for years, and now if I want to send email to AOL users I have to route it through my ISP which negates the privacy aspect of having my own server.
or close the source since other mobile device developers would just switch to Windows
After bunging SCO the $$$ millions that it needed to take on Big Blue, I wouldn't put it past Micro$oft to bung Nokia a few $$$ million to do the deal to achieve just that eventuality.
Isn't it in M$'s best interests to have every piece of OSS culled and the development trees stunted?
You assumed correctly.
My server is actually on my home cable connection and has been for years.
Thank you for mentioning smarthost, I think I will look into that option now.
If you buy bleeding edge cards, as I did when the Radeon 8500 was new you can expect problems.
I bought mine the day it came out and was unhappy with it for at least 4 driver revisions.
This includes WHQL certified and the betas. Before Catalyst came out.
I wouldn't necessarily apply this to ATI driver writers though, I mean, how many service packs and hotfixes do you have to apply to Windows before you're happy with it, if ever?
If you ever go to blackviper.com you will see how easy it is to turn off services in XP.
Unfortunately it doesn't explain how to turn everything off at once and then turn on only the things you need.
Maybe it makes us feel good to educate these people, at the same time as we are installing a firewall for them and pointing them to lavasoftusa.com?
Every person posting on this site knows the difference, and for the most part, people that don't aren't likely to matter until you have explained it to them.
Doesn't it make sense to have an immediate reaction test like the word hacker to assess unknown people with?
I for one welcome our new "know the difference" underlords.
If it were the case that anything that did something to your computer that you didn't authorise or know about, then spyware would be illegal, and all background (echo, finger, time, application layer gateway etc...) would have to be declared in the EULA or in the README, displayed prominently on installation.
MSblast and other nasty programs only do things your PC/OS is designed to do, but in a way that you wouldn't want them to, at a time you did not specify.
You could include windows update in that category too, but would anyone outside this site ever realise that sometimes updates were best left uninstalled?

Hell no, its mighty satisfying.

How many Micro$oft sites give you annoying animal pr0n popups while you're trying to look for that elusive keygen your kid directed you to?

@guard rocked. Best firewall on the market.
Took Micro$oft [insert required number of CRTL-H's here] Norton at least three revisions to make it even as good as the state they bought it in.
all of the PETA and anti-gun types are going to come out of the woodwork
We have those here? I thought this was where normal people met up to geek and talk about shooting stuff up, pr0n and Natalie Portman?
I changed to Mozilla Firebird as my default browser yesterday, but until then I had used IE.
My popup stopper used to give a bell when it blocked a popup, which was a reassuringly nice thing to hear while browsing.
If yours doesn't, try www.meaya.com, it just works.

I'm still pissed that AOL won't let me send email to any of their customers, just because I run my own SMTP server.
That sucks ass royally.
No, my first (and only) submission was from Tom's =)

I think being the other side of the world from the aforementioned post-it note would probablyu qualify as security, no?

Think of a PDA/Laptop combo.
Thinking about tabletPC? What OS is on that?
Think of a games console.
Thinking Xbox? What OS is on that?
Insidious little company, this upstart from Redmond. We should nip it in the bud before it starts becoming a problem for all us C/PM users.
