I rarely get to spend more than two or three hours a week on network maintenance, security monitoring, and research combined. If I hadn't automated them I wouldn't have time to do file backups some weeks. I have no time to spend trying to research the seventeen hundred different distros of Linux available, or whether Wine will support our COM+-dependent network applications--or whether the WMF exploit still applies if we run Windows applications on Linux.
No offense intended, but you could use the time you spend reading Slashdot for researching those Windows alternatives.
And with electronic music, are we talking about the 3 and a half minute [Blue Sky Radio Edit], the 9 minute [Trippy Dippy Extended Trance Mix], or the 15 minute [Slit Your Wrists It's So Repetative Mix]?
If the record labels were smart, they'd forget about the few million $s they could be making by licensing sheet music and instead be pushing free sheet music for popular songs as a way to promote their albums.
Another flawed business model: sheet music for guitarists.
True enough, and I suppose another discussion on GPL semantics would be about as fun as a yet another vi vs emacs debate.
I guess my analogy in this case would be I'm writing articles for Wikipedia in a way I might contribute to the Linux kernel. Red Hat makes money being one of many distros of Linux, not being Linux themselves. If Google goes and buys Wikipedia, that's a little different. Who is to say Google will completely honor the GPL? And how can I guarantee my efforts will benefit everyone and not just Google? Yes, they're obligated to "not be evil", but I'm not going to hold my breath, after all, business is business.

OSX isn't pre-emptive? Wow. Tell you what, I've got a WinME CD I'll sell you for $300 bucks, it's a steal.
Where is Visio, Publisher for Mac?
This one made my head asplode.

Now that both run on regular gasoline (Intel), how hard will the shift be to get those games running on the Ferrari?
Then there's the massive underground highway that apparently exists all over the USA that they use at their convenience.
Dude, everyone has heard of the The Harriet Tubman Memorial Highway.
It's just drifting south over Siberia.

Perhaps a unique icon for it might catch their eye. :)
Cool, I should copy that to Wiki article on "redundant" and then I'll be right! /evil laughter
Our company is a Windows shop but we do have one Red Hat 7 server run by a Windows admin. When they gave me root access, the first thing I did:
$ ps -e | grep X | kill -9 `awk '{ print $1 }'`
Server immediately started running noticeably faster.
Command-line-only Windows?
Redundant?
The website you want is AllMusic
You have to register to be able to search by song (it's free, or you can use BugMeNot), but you can search by group anonymously.
Can't wait to search for the Andy Griffith Show themesong over and over.
And with electronic music, are we talking about the 3 and a half minute [Blue Sky Radio Edit], the 9 minute [Trippy Dippy Extended Trance Mix], or the 15 minute [Slit Your Wrists It's So Repetative Mix]?
Save us, Google.
Thank you! I'm a big Google fan, but you're right, the Yahoo version is much better.

That's because you have to rent the search results. :)
Track times.
This is extremely important when we're, ahem, looking for these songs and we don't want to confuse it with live versions, covers, etc.
If Google puts that in there, I no longer have to use AllMusic.com to look album information up.
I already heard that rant on a Bill Hicks podcast!

What, and make money off of my free contributions?
I just can't understand why uploadable TrueType fonts aren't supported by all browsers, and the norm for webpages in 2005.
That's probably because Adobe and Microsoft haven't figured out how to get DRM to work in TrueType or ATM Type-1 fonts yet.
