And the liberal bias thing - I just don't get it. Most librarians I know support smaller, less intrusive government, which seems pretty conservative to me.
Yeah, I used to think that too... until the Patriot Act (and the proposed Patriot Act II) made me change my mind. The latest batch of conservatives seem to be very much in favor of big, intrusive government.
...what the left is doing. Oddly enough, the same Creative that considered "encrypted speaker output" to inconvenience pirates and defenders of the free world also released a tool (bundled with a lot of their sound cards) that would defeat it! I believe it's called the "Creative Recorder" (-25 points for originality). In any case, it could record audio from a variety of sources, including direct ripping of the audio currently being played by your sound card! With a tool like that, you wouldn't even need to crack the encryption to get flawless digital copies of your music!
A few years ago, I was learning OpenGL and purchased earlier versions of both the books mentioned above. However, neither of them proved half as useful as NeHe's OpenGL tutorials (http://nehe.gamedev.net); this site is probably the best place on the web to learn how to use OpenGL.

Why restrict yourself to AM/FM radio and TV? There are so many Internet Radio stations via Shoutcast, etc., that most people can find several stations they really like.

So how much is the "Ivy-league bump", anyway?
