this is a sign of things to come people. they have finally done a little market research. it used to be that the christian content creators would be painfully behind the times in trying to attract youngsters into the midst (christian rap from a couple of years ago comes to mind). now they are painfully with the times. watch TBN on saturday nights if you don't believe me. it's like christ meets the x games. too funny.
yeah, that's it george. i can appreciate your sarcasm, but that's about it.
guess what - even a human that has been labeled a minority by the govt can do some things on their own. i know you don't believe in this 'philosophy', but give it a chance.
bye now, i have to go back to keeping 'them' fat, dumb and non-rioting.
in general, i agree. the net has changed things, i.e. the distribution mechanism. there will still be middlemen in the music biz. portal sites will become what big record companies are today. the difference is the piece that artists will get. the middleman has become magnitudes more efficient, and there are rewards for that. remember, the record companies don't force anyone to buy their shit. CDs are $17 because people will pay that price - the market will (apparently) bear $17. MP3 is simply making people question that price. i don't think the fundamentals of the music biz will change, just the players and the margins. but who cares what i think?
perhaps if RH can establish a legit consulting practice, they can make some money. isn't that the primary OSS business model? otherwise, i'd have to agree that they will have a tough time giving their shareholders the returns they are expecting.
now there's a good idea. it would be great to have a distro that automatically installs a lot of the great music programs out there. i think there are many musicians who would like to try linux, but are not technical enough to build up there own toolkit of software. but i could be wrong.
i have to agree with the quality of investment comment - red hat will have to augment their business with other things in order to make money. i think they could be somewhat successful with tech support (they do that already), and more so with a consulting group. either way, i don't think selling a $50 distro will do it. but i do wish them luck.
doesn't matter if you're a steak headed athlete or the smart geek that loves tech and can't talk to people. you can be both. i am both, and people never know where the fu*k to put me. just be yourself.

"bad faith"
how's that for vague.
"Who cares though, who here doesn't have their money spent before they get it anyways."
yeah, it's funny you should mention that. half of my paycheque is extorted from me before i can cash it...oh wait...did i say that out loud...eeek!
"Life is only worth something because we've decided it is."
we? you mean you. i happen to value my life, regardless of what 'we' think.
"By deciding that all those lives are not worth anything, that even caring a little is a bad thing, you've managed to devalue your own life."
he's not saying others lives are worthless, he just values his own. big difference.

of all the things that will be said at the next IBeM board meeting, this won't be one of them.
"So, I figure it's kind of a karma thing for IBM to step up to the plate and help knock down this monster that is largely their own creation."
hey, go easy on hartford. for example, they've got a lot of insurance companies and....well...hmmm.

..."who can look objectively at the drones"
this is the key.
