    *cough* most bands dont record their concerts (or at least they dont release them), which is what is known in the business as a bootleg AKA live recording.

    Dude can I have a copy of your thesaurus? Do you know any nouns less than 10 letters long?

    The last time I was at the computer store I walked into the Mac section to look around. Their selection of software was 1/4th that of the PC's, and mostly graphical software.

    What part of Adobe Photoshop (et al and Macromedia *) don't you understand? You expect JASC to bring out a version of Paint Shop Pro for the Mac? Dream on.

    Apple is missing a lot of types of software but graphical software is not one of them.

    I use XP on four machines, and haven't had an application crash, much less an actual BSOD in a VERY long time.

    You're obviously not using it properly then ... :)

  8. Re:Truth stranger than fiction? on iCopulate Romances iPods, Executive Pong · · Score: 1

    No offense intended but if your life revolves around repaying debts you're doing something wrong. I'm pre-approved for a mortgage of 50 grand and a car loan for 10. I dont own either. Im still young (late 20's) and live near work and any service i deem necessary. The pre-approved crap they send me every few months will grow yet I'll probably never use it - I hate debt. My parents have been in debt for most of their natural lives. I refuse to be. I'm not really sure what I do to be different from the majority in this regard, but I do manage to set money aside for the future (house, marriage, car) and still buy the stuff I want/like. I wish you luck in heading this direction too.

    OK then Mr Know-It-All how would you suggest I waste my mod points?

    Whats the point in having money if you dont spend it? Seriously. I dont make that much but I buy things that I feel I want and/or like - even if I don't need them - as long as I can afford them and they're not priced ridiculously. I also save so a fixed amount every month for the future. Unless you've spent frivolously in the past or have a low wage job, you're just trolling IMO. What are you going to do with your millions of pennies saved when you're 70?

    You had your own news service? And you declared a jihad on it? Some sort of hostile takeover or are you just another nut?

  15. Re: What a MORON! on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's winning tactic is "embrace and extend": grudgingly accept the winning standard, get LOTS of people to use the MS version, then slowly deviate from that standard. They win by default via customer loyalty; when a large majority of users choose the MS solution, the "standard" becomes whatever MS says it is

    I can see what you're trying to say but, if that were the case, how do you explain Firefox popularity?

    And Americans are criticized for thinking they're the center of the planet?

    Americans are rather more widely criticised for invading helpless foreign nations in the name of hegemony and the Wilson doctrine.

    It Seems that you are a poor spelling nazi. The word "possesion" is also spelled incorrectly. As for the lack of adequate punctuation and humour ... perhaps someone should take his .sig away?
