Although your point is a very good one, what if they change their policies or no longer offer certain tracks, you happen to be incorrect on one point: they still offer DRMed WMA"s.
They are now calling it "Napster to Go". It's $14.95 a month. It's the same old Napster service as was offered under the old owners. (I don't know about your Japanese music, with the new addition that WMA-compliant players can play the music. (This excludes Zune. But Creative and many others make players that are compatible.)
Napster is pushing un-DRMed MP3's because that is what the market wants.
Actually, you can virtualize Leopard server on a Mac. So yes, one X-serve can run several virtual servers if you will. You do have to buy at least a Mac Mini. But Apple seems to have shifted on this.
I used to be uninformed on this topic, but whereever you buy it, it's all DRM-free. Variable pricing has arrived, but you can get 5 tracks to keep at Napster for $5/month, and that includes listening to the song an unlimited number of times before you buy it. Or Lala.com, where you can listen to a song 3 times before buying it for 10 cents for a streaming version or a maximum of a $1.29 for a 256kbps MP3. I personally think the AACs Apple sells sound better.
Microsoft's Zune also is mostly DRM-free now, I think. There is even one subscription music service with some major label content that is DRM-free though I can't remember the name of it.
The question is which client and which server, and that I don't know. You should be able to lock it down by not allowing anyone to change its preferences.
If you don't run the Mac OS, you are not who the Genius Bar serves. Harrassing employees is extremely disrespectful IMHO. If you got me, I would have said, "You can run Ubuntu in Parallels, X comes with every copy of the Mac OS X, and many Linux distros do not support EFI out of the box."
They were wiretapping privileged conversations between a client and an attorney. That is blatantly iilegal, and they should have stopped immediately.
"First they came for the terrorists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a terrorist." "Then they came for me." And there was no one left to speak up.
Part of the reason lawyers work is that they can keep things confidential. That means you do not wiretap their phones.
Excuse me. No. We respect your service, and he has every right to ask for help from people he trusts. That apparently is us. They said they'd send a replacement.. but didn't. So now we are discussing resolutions. You had no right to make those assumptions.
http://www.crashplan.net/ has done exactly what you describe. everyone in your 'backup network' backs up to each other, and for free. They make money from selling their own offsite backup.

the GPL does have a detailed description of the attribution issue in their preamble. Asking for attribution on GPLed work as a condition of use is perfectly compatible with the GPL license.
From a business standpoint, they should allow it, because people do want to download podcasts on the go, and store them. Apple does not currently allow a way to do this.

Nokia's are a good bet. I have a blind friend that uses a Nokia candybar phone, because the function hasn't changed in all its models, so you can learn it and stick with it. (Buttons are always in the same place.)
Good luck.

The canadian man in question who had the $85,000 cell phone bill had it from downloading high-resolution movies and other things using his cell phone as a modem. Most geeks know (although he did not) that the unlimited plan is only designed to be used on the phone, not on the computer. VoIP would not have helped with this.
Do not do that. It's unsupported for a reason. when your time machine designated partition fills up, it corrupts the disk image. Until Apple says it's OK, (or TUAW), I'd avoid it.
also, sun's converter tool may help.. keep in mind that you can convert anything to pdf and then from pdf to almost anything if you really need to. I read about it.. but did not bookmark it.
Back when archives.org was archiving whitehouse.gov, we saw changes in speeches to match the current rationales etc. Is this why they don't want to archive?

Netlibrary claims that they support Firefox 2 or something like that. Or maybe even Firefox 1. Contact your librarian and ask them to complain.
It's called the IPL. www.ipl.org. It has public domain works in the categories you'd expect to find them. (ie. Gutenberg content)
www.refdesk.org is similar but for reference.
Why don't they use them? It takes away from the retail experience, I'll grant you.

the iwork installer from apple.com asks for a password too, and yes, it's extremely bad behavior and apple should not do it.
All the easter eggs are documented.

Avast is a) not open source b) not reliable -- it crashed my machine, and no, I wasn't infected. It used a heavy process and resource load.
This isn't true. There is no such thing as a poor man's copyright.

Thanks.

umm.. you are aware word supports it, right?

It depends on whether you want IMAP or POP. But I would look at pobox.com or hosted.us. --Sam
