    For aprx $4500 I would hope that I may find a robot in my package. No wait, that sounds dirty.

    yet there are still dumbasses out there who insist on saving $5

    They're not dumbasses so much as slightly ignorant. They expect their RAM to operate correctly. And why shouldn't they?

    BS -- if everyone knew what was going to happen with their personal data, the same group of people who are complaining now would have been complaining back then.

    radio is really just a commercial for the album

    There are two problems with this thinking. The first is that radio stations pay artists to play songs, whereas movie studios pay TV networks to play trailers.

    The second problem is that a song heard on the radio may not be lower quality than a lossily compressed MP3 track.

    Yeah, where's your fancy metric time unit now, metric boy? We should move everything else to base 60.

    Seriously, we need a new benchmark. I propose going Astatine (the rarest element in the Earth's crust). Everyone in the world has to buy your album. Twice.

    he/she views the album of one coherent work of art

    This is a valid argument as long as they force radio stations to play the entire album instead of a single track.

    The easy way (in a boneheaded twist) would be to just publish the album as a single track. It's already random access, after all.

    They constantly need to be updated with new address lists and new spam messages to be effective

    That doesn't seem to stop them from sending me the same offer a few times a week.

    Hey, I just developed that zero-friction oil you mentioned. It must be worth billions, but the government here in Nigeria won't let me release it to the outside world. Tell you what... just send me $10,000 to help smuggle me out and I'll split the proceeds of my invention with you 50/50.

    Yes, but it's good to calculate your risks. Some things ARE more dangerous than others. I'm glad they "phased out" asbestos, for example. (In new construction at least)
