How about realizing that the old methods of distrubition are fading away and that you should probably offer music online for sale? You sound alot like an RIAA PR rep.
Well, on my server I have ran linux for the past year with no problems whatsoever, any problems that occured were my fault or due to an upgrade that changed a setting or two but most failures will occur at the hardware level. Especially if the system is not being cooled properly. I have also a PII-300MHz which has been busy compiling for the past 3 days now and is still solid as a rock and that system is over 7 years old now and all I have had to do with it is put a new CMOS battery in it which as a 20 second job and a $3 fix. I've never had linux crash on me even when I screwed up something, on the otherhand, my XP laptop crashes about twice weekly under light load. BTW, I also have a 1999 Honda Accord with 96,000 troublefree miles (wife drives it).
..the RIAA starting to sue car owners and companies for DMCA violations, especially if a p2p car application is developed, letting you share the music with your fellow motorists while stuck in traffic.
Start suing the 75 year old granny behind the wheel.
Will they have these types of drives for PC's? If they try to disable a persons PC that they paid $1500 for, people will be pissed. All the more reason to use Linux over windows though. (no corporate control)
Have you checked to make sure your computer is not overheating? This can cause stability problems for the entire system, regardless of what OS. I run fedora 4 on my webserver with dual xeon's and it has been running flawless since I got it October of last year. I've only had it reboot due to powerfailures or upgrading the OS.
One example of US censorship is the blocking of the website www.alemarah.com which of course is the Taliban website, if you go it it, it reads "No website is configured at this address." Which basically means they have rerouted any DNS queries for this site to another server.
VW (and Audi), for example, encrypts their coding in their ECU's (2001+ I believe), companies like GIAC and APR have to reverse engineer (according to their sites) the chips in order to rewrite the fuel maps, remove limiters, raise boost pressure, etc. I have a GIAC chip in my 2000 VW Passat 1.8t but no lawsuits yet in the USA from what I've seen out of this kind of stuff. The 21st century is becoming the "IP whoring" century.
..before we have to start registering our websites like China is requiring now. Even little old ladies can be terrorists or pirates (RIAA anyone?) nowadays. Start hiding that pr0n collection, because Big Brothers coming.
..before the US Government requires the same of US website operators the way things are going and as we lose more and more liberties due to the "war on terror" (which I won't waste time talking about here).
Say we do reach the point where electric does become mainstream. Then the local governments are going to rape us even harder with higher property taxes, registration fee, possibly additional taxes, more toll roads, and prices on electricity will most likely go way up since the government will get its revenue from somewhere and the oil companies are going to fight any gas alternatives that threaten their stronghold on the transportation industry.
I am a student in college majoring in the IT field but I am seriously considering changing my major due to the outsourcing and job instability that plagues the IT industry as a whole. So I guess you can count me as another statistic.
I have gotten 37MPG average at 90MPH when my engine is at 3700 RPM due to it being the engines peak torque to the engine has to work less harder at that speed.
I put the car on the dyno last week at my theory was correct when I saw the dyno charts
Dyno Chart:

The car is a 1.8T 5spd VW passat.
The labor laws are there for a reason, due to corporate abuse and dangerous work conditions, if we
didn't have the labor laws, there would be 10 year olds still shoveling coal instead of in school or working tech support for some corporation in a little 3 x 5 cubicle (cell).

Can you run your own DNS server maybe? Im on a Cox business connection, so mine is pretty much unfiltered.

If this type of technology can be applied for cars in areas with photoradar and red light cameras...ticket this!!

you would be suprised. If people will steal a man's dirty draws out of the dryer then they won't think twice about gutting you for the chip.

That was about as bad as the old "Don't copy that floppy!" commercials from way back in the early 90's.

Well, if the automotive software is patented, kiss any chip upgrades goodbye since they would become illegal.
Mine are so bad they'll knock you unconscious if I drink any milk or dairy products. Nostrils everywhere beware!
..carrying them.
Think it would protect against clap?

They must be running out of topics to right about when they start writing about how food ruins a crappy $15 keyboard...who cares.
Problem is though is that New York and California cannot get the VW Diesels due to their emissions regulations. Not that I have that problem though.
