Probably to see what's more popular. Do people care about non drm to pay an extra $.30 per song? The only way to tell is to offer both and see what happens.
Only if counting unlimited pennies and rolling them or storing unlimited $1 bills is worthwhile.
I'd rather unlimited $20 bills or $50 bills please.
How would this work? Would you just accept a phone call stating "I need more (insert monetary value of choice), please?". Do you ship for free or do you deduct the shipping amount from the amount you send? What if I just ask you to send me 100,000 $20 bills every day...would that work? Automatically assume I need more everyday and just ship.
Or maybe I'm just taking this too far...and then I'd not be receiving my unlimited currency.
is this maybe that you are using a 64bit browser in a world where 64bit plugins are rare? Not anyone's fault but yours because you chose to use the wrong tool to view the site.
Oh and also, I think the style of musician makes a difference too. NIN, Guster just aren't like they used to be. Guster lost it's flair to me when they stopped using hand drums and added another band member. NIN just may not make a great live show.
Oakenfold, S&D, Chemical Brothers, etc don't have to worry about vocals so much, they concentrate on the music, the lighting, the sounds that come at you from all directions. Maybe that's what makes me enjoy them more. TMBG is just damned fun live.
I've been to a bunch of shows, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha and Digweed, Chemical Brothers, NIN, and many more lately. But I've also been to shows from other styles: Guster, They might be Giants, etc.
Here's my problem...some shows are excellent, Sasha and Digweed, Chemical Brothers, Paul Oakenfold are great live. You know why? They attract a certain style of concert goers. TMBG does as well.
NIN, Guster, almost any band that gets any form of current local radio play, they attract kids...stupid disrespectful, loud kids. Concerts aren't fun with them around. Even the Stones got this fanbase for some reason. I won't pay $200 to see a bunch of kids with their cellphones recording the show, being loud, jumping around next to me, etc.
I guess I don't really have a point other than, if you make it to any form of local radio (even Rochester has WBER, which is very accepting of independent and semi independent musicians), the shows in this area are going to suck.
Alt Nation isn't bad, but I wish they would play more stuff that wasn't from today...when Alternative was alternative and bands like soundgarden, sunny day real estate, temple of the dog, mudhoney, etc existed...
But on 2/14 they did launch a 90's alternative station and it does sound exactly like what I am looking for.
I do hope Sirius adopts XM manufacturers though, I'm sick of the aesthetically retarded 'plug and play' radios from Sirius. My father got a Inno for christmas because he wanted the MLB on XM...it's a great little portable.
Compared to the Stiletto, it's amazing. The Stiletto looks like junk comparatively. I also hope auto manufacturers start reducing the cost of the satellite frontends in the car. You can buy a GM with XM and just buy a replacement receiver for the trunk for less than $100 and it interfaces with the stock frontend in the car.
Most cars that have offered sat radio have been through a frontend system that used a tuner in the trunk, under the seat, etc...in fact, GM cars can be changed from XM to Sirius by buying a delphi sirius satellite receiver module for $100.

"Yes, copyright infringement is illegal and immoral; no, it's not stealing."
Illegal, yes. Immoral? Well, that's another story. Morals are not laws. If a good portion of the population is doing it and not feeling guilty, it's not really immoral to them, is it? It might be immoral to you, but not to everyone. It is illegal to everyone in the US who distribute copyrighted material without permission.
The fact that cable cards are 1way mean little when it comes to switched digital video. That happens on the backend or at least at the switch hub for your location.
You're right that you won't get some features, but digital cable is the least of your worries, especially if you like onDemand.
Cable cards are quite a bit cheaper than Time Warner HD DVRs. I pay $10 or $12 a month for the HD DVR, but the cable card only costs $3 a month.
The real issue is that Cable Card v1 sucks. Its only one way which means you don't get anything that you benefit from Digital Cable but HD. You can't get onDemand, "start over", or any other interactive feature that the SciAt box offers. Some may belive that it's a benefit, but I do enjoy watching some movies onDemand when I get board of my DVD collection and nothing good is on Discovery, Science, History, FoodTV or etc.
But it does open the market for choice. The problem before is that if you hooked up a Tivo to your digital cable, you'd only get the analog choices. Now, hopefully this forces scientific atlanta and the cable companies to do useful things or at least make the dvrs suck less
It's a phone...it's primarily a way to speak to someone over the cellular telephone network. It's a phone!
I have a PDA, I have the ability to purchase software for my PDA to extend what Microsoft, Palm, Sharp all thought I would want to do stock. I can't do that with the iPhone because Apple didn't want to release a SDK. So, I can browse the web, big deal. I can browse the web with my Nokia 770 and not be tied to cingular.
My problem is Apple released a phone that has minor limited PDA capabilities and no way to add 3rd party software.
I don't know how many MMOs you play but Eve online also requires weekly downtime. This doesn't seem to be due to "poor design".

Basically the top of my list is Bishop Kearney, and knowing the tech deal they just got with Galisano, it's even more appealing.
We still have 3 years before we need to decide though.

The problem i have with live shows is this:

Yeah because it can't play mp3 files or unecumbered aac files...

Never been to Stowe, VT huh? Cingular works pretty well there...verizon? sucks.
In Time Warner Rochester, HDBox = HD DVR. We have no non-dvr HD boxes.
TWC get $10 a pop with the HDDVR, they aren't going to lose that by offering a $5 box and not get the ability to do interactive upsells like onDemand.
Most cars that have offered sat radio have been through a frontend system that used a tuner in the trunk, under the seat, etc...in fact, GM cars can be changed from XM to Sirius by buying a delphi sirius satellite receiver module for $100.
Its fairly simple.
