And hell, a decent multitrack Pro Tools setup will run several thousands of dollars. I mean, nice acoustics don't matter for electronics but stuff still has to be properly mastered, especially for vinyl.
If MSFT can't close the document format and any program can correctly read/write documents in the way they were intended what advantage does MSFT have.
Microsoft Word has other features besides an exclusive file format, you know.
The root cause of all this me-me-me silliness seems to be a blistering lack of self-confidence in the general populace, creating a need to conform.
And of course, you are Better(tm) and Different(tm).
One might think that the extraordinary (and IMO ridiculous) efforts society puts into ensuring no one's widdle feewings are hurt
Drunkfux attempts at performing someone else's comedy routines are a sure bet for people's feelings to get hurt. I am all for people making fools of themselves for entertainment.
I buy a story from the AFP I'm not allowed to be on google news.
No, that story is cut out of the Google spider.
Maybe the AFP should tell the people who buy its storys not to put them out on a public internet.
Ah, but AFP doesn't care if someone goes to a newspaper's website to read the article for free, because then the newspaper gets the ad revenue. They're looking out for their customers. I just don't see why they don't realize that a small excerpt gets people to go read the rest of the article.

Tell me, is this really an impossible challenge?
Making the show is not the challenge. It's getting people to watch it that's hard. Branding power and all that. It's like Nintendo and Tetris.
That can be changed. Ever heard the word "retcon"?
That wouldn't be what we call a genetic algorithm. Bacteria evolve (different word there) through mutation (mentioned in GP)
how do you know your text editor isn't lying?
I'd imagine that Photoshop's target market is not limited to those in the SA/Fark.com Photoshop arena.
Google News hasn't changed in a long time.
The "Customize this page" thingy is rather new.
That is changing with Linux OSes becomming easier to use.
Whether Linux OSes become easier to use is not the point. Are they popular enough to make it worth the time investment?
You started a political flamewar when you called a guy's comment "fucking scary".
I think it's fucking scary when you fucking Brits think that gun ownership is pathological.
Quentin Tarantino is listed as "special guest director" whatever that means.
If the guy who wrote the comic books also wrote the screenplay AND is co-directing, then anyone whining about canon should be put to sleep.

Why should they do more old stuff? You already have those albums.
Hey man, it's not just Windows admins that think this place is a ration of shit. :)
Why'd you come here anyway? Were you looking for abuse? I mean, you obviously ARE new here.
On Verizon (and perhaps others?), all in network calls are free.
On Verizon, you can only make free in-network calls if you have the $50/month plan.
You can have unmetered local calling with a land line for around $15/month + hidden fees, which AFAIK doesn't exist anywhere else.
You can use XP for a month without activation. If they stop selling it, keep your media.
the reason it became so popular was the close file format.
No, while it was getting popular, I still had no problem reading and writing Word docs with good ol' ClarisWorks. (The Mac version anyway)
That's a complete straw man in this case. MS Word licenses right now are not subscription-based.
using proper English grammer and spelling.
How about, you handle the grammar and I handle the, Spelling. "OK"
The right to own data was lost with closed format, since it did require a license to read something you might have produced yourself.
You required the license to create it in that format. I don't see how this is problematic.

This stupid game is just here to change your mind for five minutes but it never last longer.
They should post on slashdot. This game lasts forever, and maybe they'd raise the average intelligence of this place past the IMDb boards.
You know, there's a wide middle ground of emotion between being an actual star and the utter depression you describe.
These guys don't work for Apple. Now you see why!
Assuming that web ads continue to generate revenue as they become easier and easier to block.
