You are absolutely right. MySpace is a disease.
The internet would be a better place if MySpace never existed.
Our only hope is that the site goes pay, and everyone drops off it.
Let's pray. Let's pray for the salvation of the internet, and humanity itself.
I HATE rebates with a passion. The principles behind them piss me off.
1) You have to pay out more upfront, and pay tax on that amount. You don't get back that tax. 2) You might make an error on the form, and not get your money back at all. 3) Since sometimes it takes up to 90 days to get your money back, that's 3 months that you could have been earning intrest on that money. 4) The time spent trying to get your money is annoying. 5) The forms are often SO TINY it's hard to write legibly on them.
Think of all the money those companies get to keep in intrest alone that they make on the rebate money. ARG!
I'd much rather pay a little extra, and not have to deal with rebates. Stupid pricing games.
All domains should be $1,000. That would clean up the internet so fast. You might actaully be able to get a.com domain. Not like now where every 3,4,5, and 6 letter word is taken. 90% which are just squatted by CRAP. GOD DAMNIT.
Also, if you remember when the internet started out there was a single company that owned TLDs: Network Solutions.
Blogging has ruined the internet. What a stupid !@#$ing term--blog. I guess it's appropriate though, because if there is one word to sum up the kind of content a blog contains, that's the word. Either that or crap...but crapping was already taken.
Everyone 14-24 has a blog, a MySpace account, and maybe a backup blog just incase they can't log into LiveJournal when the servers go down.
I miss the good old days. You know, when someone smart, funny, or witty had something to say they at least learn basic HTML and create a webpage. That small learning curve alone acted as a filter, keeping the ignoramouses(Thanks Master Shake!) off the "internets."
I wish they would create a new Internet with strict rules for membership. No blogs. No URL squatters. No infectous ad companies.

Numbers, numbers, numbers.
Some stats show that close to half of the people who died from the 1918 flu, where in India. Not the cleanest of countires in the world.
You've got a large portion of people who died that were soliders. Soliders that wouldn't even take asprin because they thought it was poison.
Even if 1% of the people died from this new...whatever it will be, big deal. You'll still probably be 100x more likely to die to the way to the drug store to get some Tylenol than you will to die from the actual flu.
The only one who has created an emission free hydrogen car that even RESEMBLES that of something that's drivable, is BMW. At least their hydrogen car doesn't run on a fricken 1 gear, 100hp, electric motor.
The third world war will not be fought over land, power, or religion. The third world war will be fought over DNS and IP addresses.
In the midst of the fight, Google will release GoogleNet in an attempt to unify the internet under a single problem. At 11:10am on March 7, 2014 Google will become self aware and launch a nuclear attack against mankind.
What history of Sony formats? Do you mean Betamax, Minidisc, MultiMedia Compact Disc, Sony Dynamic Digital Sound, Memory Stick, HiFD, ATRAC3, XM, SACD, and UMD?
The most successful thing Sony ever did was XM, and now with ads it totally sucks balls. Just a matter of time until Sirius destroys it.

No. They are WMV files. I'm looking at them right now. It's been that way for at least the last year, if not longer.
No. Rhapsody uses DRM encoded WMV files.
ROFL. +1
MySpace is the worst thing to happen to the internet since it's inception. Think of the bandwidth! OH THE HUMANITY!!

A lot of banking/finance sites are IE only.
As long as IE is the only secure browser for online banking, Firefox wil always be second-best.
They also just made intrest on *your* money. They win. You lost intrest on money you could have had. They win.

Why only 7%? Why not 70%? How high would domain prices have to go to get rid of Myspace.com?

Do you have any idea how much water gets used up everytime you go to the bathroom?
Three gallons.

So it's just a matter of time until we see congressmen on myspace! Yaay! The world is ending!

Remember, everything looks different in the eyes of a Korean. Literally. They see everything in 16:9, as opposed to 4:3.
Damn. I really want this thing.

The 3.5" FD was never, AFAIK, a Sony proprietary format.

Steam, steam the magical fruit. The more you play, the more you reboot!
I hate Steam.
Depends. If they were based on the same hardware, but one was painted with metallic paint and one wasn't, probably the cheaper one.
