So...?
What makes this service worth $15 a month? I skimmed the site and it, well, sucked.
Much better and more informatve. Stats are great, but getting the lowdown personal opinion from someone who's actually used it and such is much more likely to affect my purchasing decisions.
Thank you.

Hey, CmdrTaco... Read the articles you post much? Last I checked, OpenOffice was NOT owned by Sun.
OpenOffice.Org based their Office Suite on StarDivision's StarOffice ~5.0 branch. Sun Bought StarDivision and began basing updating StarOffice off of OpenOffice codebase.

AdBlocker and greasemonkey are huge in Firefox. I know UserJS exists, but I have not been able to locate anywhere near the type of support firefox users have given greasemonkey
If there decent alternatives to AdBlocker and a repository for UserJS scripts for Opera, please post links.
Nope, they're trying to protect most artists sole source of income. The more people download it for free, the more money the labels spend fighting piracy, the less money the artists get unless the labels raise said prices to match.
Thank God they are not pushing all legal fees onto the consumer, or we'd be paying $60 a CD.
They aren't trying to alienate their paying customers...just the pirates, who are screwing it up for the rest of us.
If it weren't for them, would RIAA really waste all that money to DRM all my content?

All this talk about levees, spillways, about how the Mississippi wants to move, was *supposed* to move, but for our convoluted measures keeping it in it's place....and no-one's mentioned this book yet.
Check it out...good book.
" The Mississippi Delta is a land that exists on sufferance of the big river. Only because the Mississippi stays behind its levees, follows its locks and spillways, and agrees to overflow onto its batture, is the area safe to live in. It's a complex system, decades in the making, and perfectly adequate to corral the waters unless something...catastrophic...were to happen."

Good Idea!
Sue the company that distributed *and* the company that created the rootkit.
That way, companies will think twice before coming up with new forms of DRM.
Same here, went tot he site, got all click-happy. No pop-ups/behinds.
Adblock Plus and filterset.G (w/whitelist)
Because it's so hard to get the 1.07 extensions working in 1.5?
.xpi file.
Takes about 5 seconds per extension, all you need is an archive proggie, and a text-editor.
Extract the RDF file, bring the maximum version number up to 1.7 and pop it back into the
Worked on every single one of my broken extensions. YMMV.
Big deal.

None of what they offer seems to be new.
Create another extension to autoupdate the URL settings in the original extension. Sort of the same thang the filterset.G auto-updater does.
Then, while one or two folks will be kept busy updating the extension itself, it will pretty much always work for the end-users.

This is old "news".

Sun != OpenOffice.
That one really cracked me up.

Just saying they are out there doesn't help much.

There is a tab extension to the extension available that allows you to use IE from within an FF tab. (Opens up a tab using IE view)
You can find it Here.
