Leaving all of their production in the hands of third parties sounds very risky. I have an older AMD Sempron desktop still chugging along; I wonder if the third party CPUs will be as reliable.
Never mind that, but half of the music I would want to learn how to play is not and has never been released in tablature form. I've never seen an Iced Earth tab book; the only way I've been able to learn how to play is to find tabs online. And, even those blasted tab books have errors in them, so they know when they're transcribed and uploaded to the net. So you're paying for a tablature that's not even correct. It's insane.
This isn't surprising. After all, if the Premier League (go Blue) won't let fans of the soccer video games use the logos to create the teams in the games (because inane licensing rules prevented them from being in there in the first place), then this isn't a much bigger step up. Way to not let fans across the pond see and enjoy your game.
Yes, but do you think the authorities, who probably don't know what a torrent even is, know who to whitelist at first? I'd think they would just blacklist everything, and only let sites on the whitelist when they hear otherwise.
<p>I agree that they could stop p2p traffic if they wanted to, but who else has need for "unlimited" bandwidth than people who download a lot?
The RIAA and other groups claim that shifting the format (from CD to mp3) constitutes a new license and therefore you need to pay again. I do the same thing as you do, especially if my girlfriend takes the CD and I haven't put it on my computer yet,
How could they determine what is "illegal" and what is bought from a reputable online store? Or if a band offers a download from their website, would that be flagged as well? I don't see how there couldn't be any false positives with this agenda.
Yeah, but that's only if you care about keeping the job. I'm in a job like that where they're waiting with bated breath for me to screw up enough to let me go. But I don't care if that happens; I value my life better then the job.
If Bush has done things right, they've been peanuts compared to everything else. Before 9/11, he was taking a lot of vacation time and not doing anything. After 9/11, it's been wars, Katrina, Enron, Abramoff (sp), WMD's, etc. Either he's the biggest puppet of all time or the unluckiest person ever. Probably both.
It's probably because AVG is a free suite. I think it's pretty common practice when companies like CR or the PC mags test any software, they only compare the versions you have to pay for, and are usually closed-source. It's sad, but true.
It's been my understanding that the impact destroyed the intruder planetoid, and parts of it became part of both the earth and the moon. I think some info on it is actually in that article, which looks like a really good read.
The shock of the impact strips material from the outer layers of Earth and the impacting object. The mostly iron cores of both bodies meld into Earth's core. It is like a compact car merging onto the highway and colliding with an S.U.V. -- glass, trim and hubcaps fly, but the two chassis remain hopelessly tangled.
You know, if you have the PC/2 converter for the keyboard there are PS/2 - USB converters as well. I'm not sure how comfortable you'd be with two adapters on the keyboard, but that'd insure you'd have that keyboard for the next four PC's.
I agree. I know that I, as a musician, would love to have a outlet that would allow me to dictate exactly how my music was distributed at the first selling point. I would sign up for a Google Music Store in an instant.

Hear, hear. That's some of the sanest talk I've seen on here lately.

Yep, that was a great book. Still need to pick up another copy...

Never underestimate the power of Solitare.
Of course it's getting slammed, it's getting slashdotted right now as everyone's pulling down the files before they dissapear off the site.
It's about time SOny got their head out of their ass and looked around at the rest of the world.
It's hard to believe he's been dead over a year.
So Mike didn't break the Hubble after all!
And then we'll BackSlash about it!
Coat them with solar cells? That'd be a nice way to generate some extra energy.
You can use Luna as a starting point to get to Mars. It's much easier to launch from the moon than from Earth to Mars.
Let's get that cloning going and get some dinosaur racing going on! C'mon, what's cooler -- betting the ponies or betting the 'saurs?
Maybe BushCo. can use one of these to find out the best way to end this silly war.
Hey, you too?
