I don't understand or try to understand the current business model of music royalty system, but as I see it, the current business model (or at least the logic) around music industry is arse backward to me.
Shouldn't the music industry and artist PAY the over-the-air/internet radio station?
current: 1. make music 2. charge broadcasters for pay-per-play royalty 3. free marketing and advertising through broadcasters 4. sell music license to listeners 5. profit
So in an essence, music industry is making profit over already sold product license from listeners, because broadcasters, in order to stay in business, has to pass the recurring royalty cost through subscription model and pass the cost to listeners.
As an analogy, an artist makes a painting, charges an art gallery for diplaying his picture, gets free marketing and advertising from gallery, sells copy of the picture (not the original) to art buyers. But most of all, the artist expects the gallery to keep paying the royalty to the artist for promoting his/her work. At the same time, gallery is passing the royalty cost (to recoup the royalty tax) to the art buyers. All while the buyer is not even getting the original work, but only copy, and only buyers can look at it with the artist approved Display Right Management (aka DRM) in their own home!
Huh? How is this viable business model especially when we are dealing with 99 cent commodity?

"...an extremist interpretation of fair use to frighten and mislead consumers and policymakers." Did he just call CEA, a fair use extremist? Then what does he call RIAA and himself, copyright extremist?
Amazingly he yaps about what "fair use" is... "Fair use is, fundamentally, a balancing of interests. All interests. Fairness requires us to look in all directions and to hear from all sides. The thousands of people who work in our industry--from songwriters, to musicians, to artists, to producers, to engineers, to promoters, to label employees--deserve that consideration." - Cary Sherman, November 13, 2006, 4:00 AM PST {C|Net}
If Cary Sherman wasn't on crack, he wouldn't have been confused "fair use" with "copyright". Fair use is not a balancing of interest. Balancing of interest would be the "COPYRIGHT" itself. "Fair use is a right granted to the public on all copyrighted work. Fair use rights take precedence over the author's interest. Thus the copyright holder cannot use a non-binding disclaimer, or notification, to revoke the right of fair use on works."

This should be suffice to gather enough info on the workaround. I had a bitching time setting up the SATA on mobo (although it wasn't A8V-MX but with same chipset and bios) until I found out my mobo accepts AHCI standard for SATA controller.
Exactly. I couldn't agree more. But for some reason, the article of that study doesn't clearly states that except at the end where "wild" rats' living environment wasn't studied carefully. I believe, that was a bit misleading part. When controlled study comes out for lab rats and "wild" rats, I'll be more open to accept that study's result.
I think, this speaks for itself. Except for grooming, "wild" just wreak constant exposure to dirt and germs. Although I agree that overly sterile environment isn't necessarily "healthy", you cannot just assume the exact opposite is any healthier. The cleaner environment's benefit outweights "wild" environment's. I mean, we could just let the nature do the natural selection and weave out the weak. That way, not only genetically stronger immune system will survive, but also be immune to other deadly diseases.
The wild rodents also showed as much as four times higher levels of immunoglobulins related to allergy and autoimmune disease, but didn't get sick.
Isn't this what we call "Vaccine"? The entire study is somewhat misleading. If I wanted to live allergy free, I rather wear a mask or something, not roll around dirt all day in hopes of my immune system picking up where it left off 4000 years ago before the invention of soap.

Lookup the SATA setting in BIOS. The A8V model has SATA settings that can be RAID or AHCI setting which will let OS to detect SATA drive as IDE drive.

No, you are missing the point in the article. The point was that you and your kid roll around the dirt, and not washing afterward.
