You missed the key word there - subscription. It is the first music service on Mac and Linux where you can pay and pay, but ultimately never own anything in the end.
Please tell me you're just being a troll. If not, I suggest you go read up a little on the histories of the companies mentioned in the prior post. Maybe, just maybe, you'll understand why my post was modded 'funny'.
I was kinda wondering about that. I only looked at the pictures, and all I saw were some coastline lava flows. Some damn nice ones, but nothing like what the title and summary suggested.
Something the article seems to miss is that many rebate processing houses like to invalidate rebates for no reason whatsoever. They often claim that you didn't include all of the materials, or that they weren't mailed in time. I've had this happen to me several times. Thankfully I've kept copies of everything, which I was able to fax to them to "prove" that I did send everything that was required. If rebate houses behaved a little more honestly, they wouldn't have such a bad reputation.
Close. My understanding is that it's the soundboard recordings of concerts that are still being disallowed. Obviously, studio recordings wouldn't be allowed anyway under copyright law.
A jury can then judge the crime, the law AND the defendant as they'll know all 3.
Funny, when I was on a panel at jury duty a few weeks ago, they were specifically looking for people who had no legal training and no familiarity with the specifics of law. They were, in fact, looking for the most ignorant people the could find, since it would be easier to manipulate the herd mentality groupthink.
As an aside, last night I read Richard Dawkins' essay "Trial By Jury" from his book A Devil's Chaplain. It's an interesting breakdown of just how unscientific the notion of a jury trial really is. Between the two of these, I'd most likely waive my right to a trial by jury if it ever came down to it...
Why do you seem so concerned? Since Adobe was one of the major companies behind it, I'm sure they will continue going forward with their plans. It's still a very nice vector format.
Yup. Just checked this out and confirmed that by disabling the startup item you kill realtime protection. It'll only detect viruses during a scan. Not exactly a good thing to do...
I considered doing that before, but saw a few mentions indicating that doing so would neuter the realtime protection. I'll go ahead and give it a try though and see if it finds the eicar test virus.
I'm sure I'm not the first to comment on this, but what, if anything does the music association have to do with DVDs and DVD playback on Linux?!? Oh yeah, that's right, nothing! It's the MPFuckingAA that are the movie people. Jesus Christ, if you're going to post a tirade about the content industries controlling too much, at least get your fucking industry associations right.
After getting fed up with boot times on my machine (approx 2 mins from login until disk activity fully stopped), I decided to finally get rid of Norton SystemWorks. After fully stripping it out and running CrapCleaner, the machine took about 30 seconds from login until disk activity stopped. I then installed AVG Free. That added next to nothing to the boot/init time and it uses far fewer resources than Norton ever did. I wish I'd made the change sooner. OT, but does anyone know of a way to remove the AVG systray? It's not really a big deal since it's the only thing down there...
You don't even realize what's wrong until someone pounds it into your brain.
Right back atcha, buddy. And in case it's still not clear, I am very well aware of the error in the original sentence and why it didn't make sense (as well as what it should have read). It seems that you aren't capable of figuring out that what I wrote was a (not so subtle) joke.
I'm trying, but I can't find it. I've looked all over in Tools > Internet Options. I figure it would be under Accessibility (sounds like it would), but no luck... : /

Hate to say it, but I long for the day when both of these companies are out of business.
Don't worry. There are rumors that both will be devoured by an up-and-comer called AT&T. Once that happens, everything will be much better...

Umm, there are two of him?
Google Base Beta? That's the followup to Foxbase Alpha, isn't it?
There's nothing to argue here.
Oh yeah? Says you!
First Dupe!
I think every 80s progrock supergroup should have their own TLD.
Sweet deal on that first one. They're offering it for 33% off! How could you possibly not buy one with a deal like that?!?
I agree wholeheartedly. I think the future of television advertising should be the pop-under ad. Those I could live with.

Zombies vs Petabytes? Hard to decide who should win this one...

The only thing that makes me stop short of thinking that's exactly what it is is the lack of the "word" "Rediculous".
And what's wrong with the word "rediculous"? Balki used it all the time.

Hmmm...My dad used to work for a guy named Dom, who has since passed away. Should I be worried?
Sheesh, look at how many times the word 'beta' appears on that page. They're trying to out-beta Google...
