Kerry has been in government for a long time.
If he was going to make some kind of huge changes, wouldn't he already have been working on them?
Don't get me wrong, Bush stinks, but Kerry is just more of the same also. I'm not voting for Kang or Kodos.
In the US diesel cars and light trucks are all but banned due to a poorly written emission regulation. You have to get a F250 size truck before the restrictions ease. So people who want a diesel are often buying much bigger than they really want.
If you look at the vehicle manufactures websites from other countries you see all kinds of great high milage diesel options. Take a look for yourself.
The FBI should really be investigating potential hackers. You know, anti social young men with computer experience and leftist tendencies. Hello?.....Hello?.............
Ok, I've got my tin foil hat on for this one.
Is it possible that they are intentionally degrading the quality of CDs? Soon to come out with a new "longer lasting" format with DRM.
It doesn't take the special insite of an "Apple apologist" to recognise this article as complete tripe. All you need to do is RTFA, Oh, Wait..........., never mind.
I hear you.
How many real remote exploits are there for OSX?
In asking that I mean actual ones that have infected users computers and don't require local or physical access.
Seriously, am I looking in the wrong places?
Fun but maybe not a robot.

I not sure what the criteria for being a robot is. Having seen inside this beast, I wouldn't say that it is any more of a robot than say, a forklift or a skiploader is. Give or take a flamethrower or two.

I'm an Apple fan as much as anybody. I have a large collection of older Macs, all except one running OS 9 or less. Please tell me how to listen to iTunes music across my home network without having to spend my time burning and reripping everything I buy?
I can tell you without a doubt that my statement is 100% fact. I wish I could document it properly without causing harm to people close to me. It is more telling that you are disturbed by it and resort to name calling. All you brave ACs need to face reality, Some of the bad things you hear about your beloved M$ are sad but true.
They deserve to have it ripped out. One of the reasons it is so wide spread is that MS has been quietly paying content providers to use Windows Media player, especially porn. It is pretty easy for your product to become widely used when you pay people to use it. Do you really want to concede control over multimedia content to MS? This would be much worse for the internet.
Actually, the hydrogen did not burn until it had escaped and mixed with air. At this point it did little to effect the actual incident. It would not have made any differance what was inside the gas bags.
If a computer is a tool, you want it to get work done with minimum downtime. Buying quality equipment is often cost effective to this end. If a computer is a hobby, well, the point of a hobby is to waste time. Clearly the computer is not my hobby. If the computer was my hobby, buying junk to play with sounds like a good plan. One of is "bright" enough to know the differance between work and a hobby.
"People like you are a real smudge on society, your cluelessness is so amazing. Poor people are not poor because they are lazy, they are poor because they spend all of their money. Rich people are rich because they dont. They economy needs both to be healthy. You one-sided conservatives make me fucking sick."
You make many incorrect assumptions. I in no way consider myself a conservative or a liberal for that matter. I observe the world around me and do my best to draw my own conclusions. I have been lucky in live to have interacted with a wide variety of people. I have friends on welfare, friends in subsidized housing, friends that are multi millionaires, and everything in between. It is very apparent if you take the time to look at the habits of those around you how they got where they are. Life is the sum of the decisions you make. I cite pages and pages of specific choices but if you don't want to see, I can't show you.
Every time I see the "I can build it myself for cheaper" post it makes me laugh.
Sure you can, but only because your time is worth nothing.
For me, my time valuable to me on a personal level and in dollars and cents. So I just can't see spending thousands of dollars worth of my time to save a few hundred. So you go scrounging for a motherboard and I'll finish this post and then go spend some time with my son. Bye
I really have a problem with this whole line of thinking. It seems to infer that being rich or poor is somehow the fault of the government or some external force. Sure some people are born into richer or poorer families. However I think the larger factor of an individuals personality, drive and work habits are a much bigger factor. Some people are just lazy by nature and will do just enough work not to starve, while others have an amazing internal drive to succeed and excel. No ill-conceived government taxation program is going to change this. This is not to say that sometimes people need a little help to get thier lives turned around. But when it comes down to the whole idea about the rich keeping the poor down, I just don't buy it.
Ok, I give

At some point people are going to have to accept the fact that digital data is copyable and you cannot change that. Accepting this fact will let them move on to a business model that uses copying and free distribution to make a profit. Perhaps shameless "Wayne's World" style product placement? Perhaps old early TV style adds done by the personalities? Then tell your advertisers, "we had X downloads and our projections say they will share it Y number of times." "Now pay us for X+Y viewers."

It would seem odd that my Newton can play MP3s but a new iPod doesn't have the power for OGG.

I am amazed, with the number of open access points, that someone ever gets caught.Guess they can't help bragging to their friends.

Don't forget the Apple mouse gets a pretty good price on eBay so you usually come out ahead.
I hear you about the library discs being scratched.
Give iTunes a try for ripping.
