  1. Re:If you want CD-quality audio, buy CDs on Why We Should Buy Music In FLAC · · Score: 1

    Simple. Physical media cannot give me the "instant gratification" of buying downloaded songs.

  13. Re:That's Stupid on Lawyers Using Facebook Research For Jury Selection · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because rpm -e openoffice is just too brutal.

  23. Discretely? on An Open Letter To PC Makers: Ditch Bloatware, Now! · · Score: 1

    The aim of bloatware is to discretely deny choice. In the eyes of the PC makers, the solution and the aim are incompatible. Better than continuously denying choice!
