I completely agree that trading MP3s in most cases helps the non-indie artists. That does not make it right, however, to go out and start trading copywrited songs. A song is the intellectual and artistic property of the songwriter and the performer. The owner of that intellectual property is the performer and songwriter. It is their right to do with their property what they want to. If they sell that property to a major record label who signs a deal with them to pay royalties on the sale of their song, then that is their choice.
I agree that the music industry has many bad practices that truly screw over a lot of very talented artists. Downloading illegal MP3s is not the answer to this problem though. This only hurts the screwed over artists even more. To truly bring the music industry back to where botht he artists and the public want it, we have to fight it legally.
Artists, find a small label to help you produce your music. Once you have produced an album, take a couple of your tracks and publish them, for free, on an mp3 site. Let the people here what you have to play. If they like what you have, let them buy the rest of your album, either on CD or in MP3 format.
John/Jane Doe, download FREE MP3s from artists you might be interested in. If you like the music, BUY IT. These artists have put a lot of time, work, blood, sweat, and tears into what they do. Avoid the big labels. Don't download their pirated music, don't buy their CD's.
Eventually the music industry will have to give in to market demand and start finding new ways to win both artists and listeners back. Either that or find new lines of work.
Stealing intellectual and artistic property from the people who create them is no better than slavery. You are making them work for you (intellectual instead of physical) and you give absolutely nothing back.
Sybase's databases still do this. So does Powerbuilder. If you use a 2 digit year edit mask on a date field, PB uses windowing to guess at the year the user really means.
Of course, for the programmer, this means I have to double check every date entry field in the app and make sure I specified a 4 digit date mask (default is 2).
From the various articles I have read (see posts by other people with links), it is relatively clear that this chip does not allow on the fly transition from one standard to another. Nor will your service provider probably allow this type of switching any time soon either.
The entire point behind the multiple protocol chip is to make design and manufacturing cheaper and easier for cellular phone makers. It seems that it would be possible to switch between different protocols within the same phone by simply using a different ROM. A company that manufactured cellular phones could make the same phone across the board, then, near the end of the process, either flash the ROM for European standards, or for US standards.
I've been using Netscape in both Windoze and Linux for about 6 months now and it works great. I was using Netscape in Windoze when I finally got a large enough hard drive to give some space to Linux (I'd get rid of windoze if it weren't for the wife). You just have to make sure you set up Netscape under Linux to read from the correct directory. I also have it set up so I can check my e-mail whether I'm logged in as root or my standard username. The only real problem with Netscape is that it only allows a connection to one POP server. To use multiple servers you must use IMAP.
