Hear hear! This sort of surveilance is really becoming a trend. TALK to your kids and take the time to develop a relationship with them. Don't let technology do the parenting for you. Allow kids to make mistakes, otherwise how are they ever going to learn anything?
I won't trust you, because it was proven time and time again, that audiophiles lose their ability to distinguish 128 from 192 and CD from MP3 as long as the testing is blind. 128Kbit MP3s are good enough for more than 90% of the people. And the latest OGG/AAC/WMA/MP3Pro are good enough for 99%.
Well, speaking as someone who listens to a fair bit of classical music, 128Kbit MP3's sound really lousy, unless you're listening on a portable player. It just doesn't cut it on a proper sound system.
I can't see myself investing in a format (MP3 that is) that has such relatively poor sound quality. I'm reminded of an interview I heard with Johnny Lydon some time ago - he was convinced the whole MP3 thing was a scam, because you're essentially paying for something with such mediocre sound quality (his words were a little more colourful).:)
From the Quicken Canada website, regarding their latest version of Quicken (XG 2005, $99.95 CAD):
Only online services expire three years after initial activation; you can continue to use the product without downloading capabilities. Once online services have expired, you will need to purchase a more current version of Quicken to continue to use online services.
Yes, thanks so much for only disabling one of the most useful features in the product.
If you read the article on the Links & Law website:
The Court of Appeal came to a different conclusion than the district court, which reads as follows: "[T]he actions committed by Bruvik were not an action relevant to copyright as such. He himself did not use the files, and he did not store or copy the files. His actions [deeplinking] consisted merely of reference to sites where the works already were made accessible. References of this kind cannot be regarded, in the opinion of the Court, as a public performance. The actions of Bruviks must be compared to those of a bulletin board containing addresses to uploaded music works. The linking itself did not involve a performance."

I wish I had known about that oh, say, YEARS ago?
Macrodobe should share that little titdbit with everyone.

This is freakin' HILARIOUS.
Thanks - that made my day.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

So - common sense prevails, for now.

I saw an ad in a Toronto tabloid today for Netscape Online.
Wow. All four verses - I'm impressed.
