so are these the new dept. of homeland surveillence m$ machines that this will be running on? not only are they tracking me, they're making it easy for anyone to break into the tracking system?!?!?!
good. it's about time. i was awestruck when, after the browser trials, m$ threw cd burning, etc into its bundled media player, and even more so when they weren't brought right back into court. good.
also, i remember hearing what i thought was the best solution to the m$ antitrust problems.... any technology they invent they can bundle. you'll have a nice blank cd for $189.95
this is like americans saying that SAE is easier to learn than metric. it's not, it's just that they've seen it for so long.
still, if people begin to percieve KDE as even close to XP, there's a change.
i buy vinyl about every week. mostly used, but also a lot of new.
also there is a TON of good music out there. it's not forced down your throat, you have to look for it, but if you support your LOCAL record store instead of best buy and tower, there's too much good music. i could spend $1000 tomorrow and still not have all the titles i want; and, really, i'd be ok paying it because i typically like every song on the album and keep it for a long time. the same is true with all media, the crap will always filter to the top. you have to dig trhough it to get something worthwhile.
Where did all the Bob Dylans go, the Janis Joplins, the Stevie Ray Vaughns and B.B. Kings?
they were replaced with the jack johnsons, ben harpers, and wilcos.
admittedly i'm a bit spoiled with good public radio in detroit, but it's out there.
agreed though, i will typically download a song or 2 then go buy the album.
at first i thought this was a nicely packaged cheap computer with an fm tuner......
now it looks like a poorly packaged cheap computer with an fm tuner....nothing that couldn't be built easily for less.
circuit city tried to sell disposable/expiring DVDs. they called it DIVX, you bought one for $5, watched it for up to 24 hours, then either paid more to unlock it or jsut threw it away.
they were billing it as the replacement for renting.
thank god it never took of and they abandoned the idea.
"Recycling is only one part of a product's lifecycle"
this is the way it should be seen. too often american manufacturers see the end of the lifecycle as the minute it leaves the factory doors. the only thought given to what happens when the consumer is finished is in terms of when they will buy the replacement.
.79/song is better than.99, but still these sites need a flat monthly fee, some sort of subscription, for all the downloads you want--or even put a reasonable limit on it.
it should be marketed like cable tv.....back in the 70s people would say you're crazy if you suggested paying for TV, but now everybody does.

i think all of these "google-holes" are actually just the result of poor searching techniques on the part of the author. also, when i need to find something on--damn i hate to say it--MSDN for work, i usually use google with the site:msdn.microsoft.com as the MS search engine is crap.

any of the nutshell books are horrible to learn from--though i find them invaluable as reference and count 4 behind me right now.

there's an * next to the 128 capacity which seems to point to....
...or 8 times what you get from this overpriced piece of crap.
* Drive accessible capacity varies; GB = 1 billion bytes.

It was with a problem that needed solving and a copy of the camel book that I started as a Perl programmer

is it too late for the dept. of homeland surveillance to switch or are they satisfied with the security that can be broken by a midi file?
what did m$ get on this anyways?
