If you don't have a TiVo, but have a Mac, AudioHijack and a broadband connection will let you record radio from the BBC's website. You can then sync to your iPod when you come home and listen to the shows at your leisure.
Beagle 2 cost 45 million dollars. Spirit cost 512 million dollars.
Therefore, Europe could land 11 probes for each NASA probe. Considering 2/3 of all missions to Mars end in failure, dollar for dollar, EU has 3 successful missions, NASA has 1.
Hi Sivaram,
Just wondering out of an Indian population of 1 (possibly 1.5) billion, how many people are likely to go by your nomenclature?
Just curious.
If copyright only protected performance rights and not reproduction of recorded material, artists would not be hurt very much if at all
Whay planet are you living on? So, if I write a one hit song/write one bestsellet I can go on tour for a few months and that compensates me for the rest of my life?
Since the songs are sold individually now, an album with only 2-3 good songs on it is only going to bring in 2$-3$ instead of $15
If you knew anything about economics, you would realise a company can increase profit on the back of falling turnover. In this case, RIAA will increase profits by getting 99% of the population to by 2-3 'good songs'
Eh, I think when album art moved from LP to CD it died. It's often about size. Visually, some incredible LP covers look dull on CD because the original dimensions were considered when the artwork was first created. Last I heard iTunes had 'album' art a wee bit smaller than a CD cover.
I don't think RIAA has been sitting around burying their collective head in the sand for the last few years... with all their lawyers, bean counters and elementary calculus you can bet they worked out the game plan long ago... to MAXIMISE profit. Don't think they aren't laughing their collective head off right now.
Oh, the one I must have downloaded in my sleep, that allows my MS (I know) wireless mouse to 'Just Work' (tm) with Jagwah, now Panther
Check out your facts next time.

Oh my, listen to you!
And that is why they hate us
You know, throwing around the word "hate" is not particularly constructive. It dumbs down the argument, appeals to the base, when what we need is an intelligent discussion on the state of the world in the 21st century
your culture's twin values of mass rape and mass murder
Eh, you're angry aren't you?
by any rational measure, your culture is inferior to our
That isn't a rational statement to make
You have left us with no other means of dealing with you short of genocide
Hitler was a resonable guy, too. Just a little misunderstood
I would say technological progress has slowed very much since WWII
Interesting post, but I have to disagree with your last statement. I believe technological change is accelerating, only we are too close to see this. I exepect many incredible changes in our society resulting from technological developments in the next 0-50 years.

No one is entitled to anything
What about "Life, Liberty..." and all that. Or are you un-American?

Sure beats working for a living...

I'd be interested in their definition of an 'artist'
Should an artist be Patronised? Subsidised? Neutralised?
Sounds to me like being an artist could be the next cushy number under this proposal. Holden Caulfield where are you now?

I am above saying I told you so to people
Man, you are so dumb, grasshoppa. RIAA won. Infact, let's get some more product placement in the songs so the advertisers win too.
Why buy 22 songs when you only want 3
Well, I wouldn't buy a single song from a band where the quality rating is 3/22
did you buy albums for their musical content or for some artwork?
Absolutely I buy albums for their artwork! Album artwork often disproves the old meme 'You can't judge a book by the cover'.
It's all about art really, but hey, try and tell kids these days...

Yeah, mod the Paren UP!

The definition breaks down in zero g, then?
