1. Compare Windows and BeOS circa 1991.
2. Compare Windows and BeOS in 2001.
3. Compare expectations for Vista and BeOS in late 2007.
4. Extrapolate the relative improvements in Windows and BeOS to 2010. ====> BeOS is the winner!
I favor good audio as much as the next guy, but if you're completely happy with what you have, don't upgrade. I can ABX to about 160 kbps LAME MP3, and so I encode at 224 VBR to be safe. I used to encode my music as FLACs until I realized that I was running out of space in my poor 80 GB hard drive. Now I could have went out and bought a 500 GB hard drive and kept going, but what's the point? I can't tell. I'm happy with my current setup of iMac + KSC75's. I may upgrade to some SR60's someday, but right now, I want to spend more money on buying CDs, not putting more money into the CDs I already have. I don't really see the point as lossless-as-backup either; if a CD of mine got lost, broken, or stolen, I would re-buy just to have it. Maybe that's just me, but I like owning CDs.
Plus, most consumers tend to use the headphones that come with their players. It would cost a fortune for companies to include headphones that would make consumers hear the artifacts of 128kbps.

They may look similar, but diff says they're different:
" diff home.gif address_bar_search.gif
Binary files home.gif and address_bar_search.gif differ"

Just my two cents.
RIAA, 2 hours later: "YouTube is letting people watch videos with OUR music? SUE THEIR PANTS OFF!" I can feel a wave of idiocy coming.....
Does this open the pathway to the first home-brew gaming console viruses?
I was just hoping for a text box and a button saying "Crack Website!"
Never delete and never respond.
Is that bad?

Soon washers and dryers will be having organized revolts. This may not turn out well.

Fine then! But in Soviet Russia, brain..... oh, never mind.

http://www.tlm-project.org/ They have the latest Linux torrents, but also some more old ones. It also has a message board.
Windows Longhorn will make you pick your computer off of your desk and chuck it out the window. Then you have an actual desk(top) to use!
But those "many other operating systems" don't include the most important one: Emacs! I feel offended.
