I think the ownership issue is a bit obfuscated for some of us. As near as I can find out, Setanta Music was the label that released the song, and Columbia has it on a soundtrack album. I suppose WB had some claim to it once, or surely Grace Maxwell would have pointed that out in the BLOG. AFAIK, when a major label makes a distribution deal with an indie, they don't secure ownership rights as well, and certainly per TFA that was not the case here. All I can say is that I have insufficient data to verify any of these assertions and I wish some one would make an informed disclosure regarding the facts.
There is a friend of mine who shall remain nameless. About ten years ago, he would trace each SPAM that arrived in his mail server, and contact the ISP admin to report the abuse, and demand action to curb it. Ah, the good old days...
According to TFA,these were collected by phishing. OTOH 12345 could be "brute forced" by mere human guess-work. sheesh. My eight letter password could be brute-forced by machine in very short order, but it's all relative.
I grew up in Livermore, California, and developed a deep appreciation for life-giving shade. I am trying to learn what it takes to create a viable environment for life, in the face of urban obstacles &c. The hippies are calling it "sustainability", I'm just trying to set up an environment for my grandchildren, and the salmon that depend on my little hectare of Canadian watershed. No, it isn't work related, I am a tree geek.
Not that I'm completely antisocial, but I do not and never have had a contacts list. The only email I receive is from my son's school, and I never click on any unsolicited e-mail. I don't frequent commercial websites either, except for news, and if they give me unwanted popunders they get blocked at the router. I mainly surf on USDA and Forest Service sites, and some Canadian and British Columbia government sites. I seldom encounter problems. I actually average about three SPAM E-mails per month, so it's not a lot of work anyway. If I did fall for any attack, fdisk is an old, familiar friend.
crap. Kinda ironic considering I changed my sig prior to posting this AM. Like washing the car to end a drought, eh? Anyway, I tried looking up my cousin's band on MySpace after I posted, and found it on Facebook, that's what started the confusion.
There not being a whole lot to lose (or any porn that would get me in trouble;), if my shit gets compromised, I use the same password on everything. (eight letter word, YMMV) Of course, I'm not afraid to format the HDD and re-install the OS when my foolishness catches up with me, and I DO protect my router,as well. The only thing I worry about is if my node became a SPAMBot, but I check my traffic periodically to avoid that.(Ain't happened yet, but I've had to fix my friend's boxes a few times). I do have one account that's protected by nine letters and a numeral, but that would be easy to guess as well if one knew my attitude toward complying with security policy. OTOH 12345 is a tad egregious as a password, even by my lax standards.
Considering that MySpace purports to be a musician's site (or used to), and it seems to be the leader in it's niche, perhaps he thinks that it would benefit others if they could be convinced to remove their head from their ass.
Thanks, I RTFA but missed that. I keep hearing good things about Gigabyte boards but haven't bought one yet. I got one a few years back from a guy who thought it was sketchy, but I built it up with a good PS (which was what looked sketchy in his application) and it worked fine for me. I ALMOST got one last time around, but couldn't quite overcome my prejudice, and got another ASUS. I'm way overdue to upgrade, not that I need to, it's just that "ooh shiny!" compulsion thing.
Damn! I think my mainboard is set to power off before it gets that hot, maybe even if the CPU gets up there, IIRC. But I'm not stuck in a server room, anyways.
It varies from town to town here in U.S. I've always been fortunate to live in good power areas (and Los Angeles used to give us 90 p.s.i. Water pressure!) But when we move to our retirement house, I'm gonna need a power conditioner. The lights dimmed several times when I was re-painting it recently, and went off once for a few minutes, the tenants said it happens ALL the time. I always get high-end RAM and PSUs, I've seen others suffer for the lack.
I never drove the DS, it was the girlfriend's dad's car, so I didn't get to do any of my usual stunt driver/test pilot stuff. I thought it was a nice bonus that we could get in some extra kissing while we waited for the suspension to raise up.
I guess it's gettin' pretty long in the tooth, but my favorite home board is a one-socket opteron. It's only got four gigs of RAM though (and two empty slots). What I learned from TFA is I didn't do anything but piss everyone off with the "heroic" cooling I've been doing all these years. I've never lost a HDD, and I've always blamed the wind tunnel factor. Live and learn, eh?
Alrighty then, which mainboards have the lowest error rates? TFA seems to have obfuscated that. That's MSs job, I thought Google was supposed to Do No Evile?
I was referring to the moderne looking one with the air suspension. My brother, Maharishi Bob, who lives in Arnhem has a Deux Cheveaux but I've never ridden in one. Bob, BTW has a bold driving style that probably compensates for lack of acceleration. You don't have to speed up if you never slow down.
Well, I just read "When The Tripods Came" by John Christopher, and it did have a bit of a message, think for yourself, and stick by your people. It reminded me of "No Blade Of Grass" which points up the moral quandary of taking care of your own, at the expense of the other. That one, IIRC was a bit less juvenile as well, a plus or a minus, I suppose most of the students weren't reading at a high-school level when THEY were in the second grade. Anyhow, I liked the message of the fragility of the world's food supply, and that reminds me, what about that killer rust that was going around in Asia the last few years...
If you're qualifying books on sheer simple pleasure, may I suggest one of the four books of John Christopher's "Tripod Trilogy". Good juvenile stuff, I don't recall any special lessons learned, but its been an awful long time. (Actually I haven't read the prequel yet, my dad recommended it, it was published after I got on to other things. I think I'll go read it tonight.)

That would be Setanta Records.

Sorry, I was thinking of FaceBook. God, I hate being wrong.

You must have applied to MIT, I didn't catch that in TFA.

I rely on /. for all my free research. Thanks.

A higher than average concentration at the start of the thread? This doesn't bode well.

Is that web page ahead of it's time or do I just need to update my browser? ow.
Way ahead of it's time, as well. What a ride!
I call the late Arthur Aldridge!
