I quit buying the CDs because I couldn't get the damned shrink wrap off when I got it home... But seriously folks, if singers of the 50's and 60's hadn't made records, there would not be anything to listen to these days. Rap Crap - I can't understand the words anymore to modern music... but I DID enjoy seeing Janet Jackson's bare and decorated titty on TV. Thanks Janet, for the mammary. I understood THAT! But I won't buy your music.
I don't think LINDOS will work either. Remember the fuss that MS caused over a guy's name: Mike Roe Soft sounded too much like MS. I predict LINDOS will fail for the same reason. Sounds like LINDOWS.
Why not some new name like HERBIE? or CLICKIT?
Oh well, MS will be bullying people for ever and ever. It will never stop.
You're absolutely right. The only deal in this whole thing is selling the "service" to some dolt who will shell out the money for the 100 year rights. IN a few years the company is belly up and the money has gone. A better sales pitch would be for 1000 years for just $19.95 more. LMAO
Hah! I laugh in your face. (said with a Spanish dialect as in old Western Movies) I used to take the tapes out of my TRS-80 and Color CoCo tape recorders and stretch the tape between two doors in the house making the tape thinner and thinner, allowing for more and more data to be stored. It wooorkd great and I gto noe erorz at awl...
Thanks for the post. I knew that copies of original workss can be made even if copyrighted. That's just the point, so why can't we, as private citizens, make copies of DVDs for our own use by DeCSSing them - or not - for whatever purpose or machines or OS we want to use - desktop, pocketPC, laptop, Linux, or whatever?
What's the difference between 100 people looking at a ripped DVD and 100 people reading the same paper book over and over... Wait a minute! That's what happens at a Government run Library. Poor authors. They get to sell only one copy of the book and hundreds get to read it. What's fair about that?
"when voters care, issues happen"
Trouble is that they don't care and cannot remember three months into the future who said what or voted which way. Terrible truth. Look at who we elect over and over. SOS.
Naw, man, after XP comes XQ, then all the way to XZ for the future versions. And didja ever figure ut what the "X" stood for? I know. It's "X" for "Experimental".
Will the little RFID thingies scratch my toilet on the way down? Should I try to save them using a strainer? Wash them and use them again? I'm really confused. Time to change to Scotch again.
Naw, what keeps me from stealing is the plastic wrap around the DVD and CDs. What good are they when you get them home? I have many at home that I cannot open yet after two years of trying.
Look at the new SONY DVs that write to a small 3 inch CD. Why? Because when the filming session is over the "movie" is permanently on the CD to keep forever and there's no extra steps to do to preserve the "event". Sure the little CDs cost 25-50 cents but they are forever. The specs on the $899 Sony looked better than the $1099. YMMV. Both can be bought for way less via the Web so you can stay under your $1k. Optical zoom of course is the one to look at, not Digital "blowup" zoom.

Uh Oh... I rebooted my memory last night with Scotch and I can't remember the movie. What now? I forgot to record it with my "Memory Tivo".
Remember what?
A guy walks across the street and a car hits him. What they find is "Jesus, look at the size of her... bammmm!"

I just noticed that if you add a couple of "A"s and rearrange the letters it spells AFRAID. Need more?
Yeah, I know. I still install the PS/2 keyboard plug into the PS/2 Serial port or vice versa.

OIL cap? Hell, my wife thought it was the 710 slot to store money. ...and Welded hoods means Jiffy Lube is out of business, huh?

Buh Dump Bump - Shzzzz (rim shot)
If Prince can call himself a "sex-Symbol sign" why not just drop the "indows" and call Lindows "L"? Let's see Windows sue that.

As was said before in a court of law, "You must admit, the bit doesn't fit!" What's new?
