I've got the same problem; I cannot bring myself to pay for lossy-compressed music files. I consider 128kbs MP3's to have unacceptably bad sound quality and this seems to be the standard rate. Give me FLAC or give me death!
Are you a grammar Nazi? I'm trying to improve my English; please correct my errors!:) I have to commend you for using a semicolon in your sig; it is the most underappreciated of the punctuation marks.
Well, implicit in this philosophy is that the original author of a work is credited. They lied and said that Hatto was the pianist. Your analogy is moot.
What is all this lunatic talk about The Cars sucking? Where is this coming from, some kind of misdirected emotional lashing-out due to a childhood trauma involving automobiles?
Hey now, Canada is the source of Neil Young, The Guess Who, and a few members of The Band. That's just a handful of acts that I could think of off the top of my head. Plenty of quality music came out of the north, be proud Canucks! (And hey, "Summer of '69" is a decent song, but when I hear Celine Dion I want to pour hydrofluoric acid in my earholes.)
Teachers are not that happy about it. Apparently not many of them know much about Linux and there are no specialists around to teach them.
Sounds like we need to paradrop some bearded Linux hackers into the Perm region for an emergency education operation. Some of the heavier ones may need two parachutes.
I'm with you jcarkeys. Yeah, a lot of kids would see this as a joke, but I wouldn't reject the thing out of hand. Their heart is in the right place. At least it's not some quixotic attempt to get teens to commit themselves to abstinence, that's what the administration usually likes to waste money on.

My money is on Circuit City. Just look at how successful DIVX was.

Ah, venereal diseases and scurvy. Reminds me of my 20's.

Did your wife make you those shirts with the 5.25 inch pockets to do you a favor, or to ensure that no other woman would even think of hitting on you?
Your grammar was too correct, the proper phrasing is:
In Soviet Russia, plastic urinate on you!
Someone needs to keep Richard Stallman away from throwable chairs...

Wow. You sir, are a genius.
Hehe, usually it's the USA that invades other countries, this time it's an operating system!
I actually gave your analogy some thought, and I really do seriously think I'd rather be sodomized by the aluminum bat.
I concur, Venture Brothers is a very fine show indeed.
You write like Wil Wheaton.
...the NIMH prize.
Oh man, I haven't thought about Mysterious Cities of Gold in years. Thanks for the blast of nostalgia, made my day.
Sounds like he would have been a fan of the open source / free software movement.
Bah, not such a rare event, happens all the time to me. Playing Counterstrike.

That is probably one of my favorite lines from any movie.
Hmm, optimism and enthusiasm about a new idea in software? You must be new here.
