If the RIAA were really serious, they should be suing ROMS first, to get the money that AllofMP3 and presumably other organisations are paying which isn't being paid to the artists.
Well, I'm 34 and a z/OS Systems Programmer for a well-known outsourcing corporation (not IBM). Next to me sits a 24-year old who's just completed a Modern Apprentice programme. At least half of our support staff are under 50, at a rough guess. We did have a lot who retired, but there's plenty of new blood here. We're also running graduate recruitment.
Agreed, built-in support would be great, though if you get the iTunes New Music Tuesday podcast, you'll see the cool things they've done with bookmarking (index with images, images changing by bookmark).
For those who don't know the hard way to convert:
Set your Importing codec to AAC, right click on an MP3, select 'Convert Selection to AAC'; when finished, Show Song File, change filename to.m4b, reimport.
Shane you can't do this on a per-podcast basis; some I keep permanently (Dr Floyd); some I try to listen to them all then delete (Daily Source Code, Coverville); others I only tend to listen occasionally and would happily delete any I'd missed (R&R Geek show, SpaceMusic)
The Top Podcasts list on the right of the iTunes Podcast store looks like it's shaping up with a good selection. This could be the death of PodcastAlley and other riggable voting schemes (duck). Personally I recommend:
Coverville (cover music)
The Tartan Podcast (great selection of Scottish Music - no Bagpipes (ok, there was one once)
Today (BBC Political interviews - deep!)
In Our Time (BBC - hard to describe, really deep chatshow?)
Radio Adventures of Dr Floyd (fun serial)
Slacker Astronomy
Teknikal Diffikulties (surreal comedy show)
Biddycast
Accident Hash (Music from the Boston area)
This isn't all I listen to, but there's good stuff in there. You can listen to Daily Source Code (Adam Curry), but that's mostly podcasting about podcasting - the above are the meat.
Yes, but the whole of the Island of Ireland is included in the maps, both Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and Eire (a separate country). I apologise to the Irish for not being completely correct in my posting WHEN MAKING A JOKE!
Same about the UKIP / Kilroy stuff I know he left the party but I really couldn't be bothered to remember the name of the new lot.
BTW, I am British so I am insulted by being called American. Call me Canadian and I wouldn't care:-) Those Canucks are cool, eh! Go Habs!
The Isles of Scilly are there too (which I think are ours), but not the Channel Islands (which are sort of ours but kind of independant too). None of it's painted red, anyway...
So, sorry everyone. I will check my facts better before posting.

For this to kill TV, (or even groovily coexist as an alternative) it would require current producers of worthwhile content (e.g. battlestar galactica rather than survivor) to be willing to publish their content by these means.
Podcasting is beginning to creep into this, but there aren't more than about a dozen "real" (i.e. not produced originally as a podcast) programs being podcast (e.g. BBC 'In Our Time', Virgin Radio 'Pete and Geoff Show', WGBH Morning Stories), and these aren't otherwise commercially available.
The chances of '24' being made available on the web by the producers when they'd rather sell DVDs is unlikely, unless there's some damned efficient DRM going on. (Yes, I am ignoring the possibility of RSS feeds for non-official copies these shows being made available by third parties).
Without that sort of 'pro' content available to its competition, TV won't be going anywhere soon.

However, if you listen to their respective podcasts, I think you'll agree that Adam's the one with the drive and charisma to make this thing explode.

Oh crap - BEWARE FAKE LINK IN PARENT. "Downing street london" works.
Mr Kilroy-Silk will be pleased. Just go look at Britain, and zoom right out ([-] button). Look - no Europe! Just us Brits and our American fiends.

Could be worse - I once got a recipe from Holland which required 300g of self rising flowers.
There's meat in there? Also known as an 'elephant's leg'
In Soviet Russia... they can send you to Siberia - it's rather hard to get a good broadband connection there...
Thank you, that would have been it ;-)
I think Zaphod's second head is inside his nostril, or something like that.
No, the book (or radio series, or tv, or any combination of the above) says they're distant cousins, and IIRC share several of the same mothers...

Wasn't there a sub ethermatic thingummy in the previous versions? That was basically an electronic thumb.
I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed...
Mod parent Naive :-)
OK, so I'm trolling, but it doesn't matter what I intend to do, only what a court thinks I intended to do.
I don't think getting my DVDs replaced is worth the prospect of being executed.
That sounds "Cropped Wrong" to me.
