well... are you really trying to hide something from the government? i mean, i have a healthy paranoia but it's not of the federal government, it of corperations and scam artists. seriously, what do you have to hide?
just to be realistic, unfounded claims are worthless, so id like to to say a few things and ask a few questions.
Doesn't matter how little privacy they have
there is actually a good deal of privacy in the US. i mean, ISPs are allowed to refuse to reveal the ID of a customer without a court order. out of the millions of people, there are few that have wire taps and such. it's not completely out of control, there is a legal system to it. hell, there was a guy busted for growing and distributing drugs but the damming evidence against him was thrown out because a cop used heatvision to see the massive amount of heat being generated to grow the plants. they said it was an illegal search. i dont know that other countries would agree with that. our privacy is protected by laws and yes, there are times when you can be spied on but it must be with good cause.
Doesn't matter how much power their government has
what do you mean by power? power over the world? we dont live in a militant state where we are oppressed daily.
Doesn't matter how unfair their government is
it's usually not the government that is unfair but corperations. again, legal proceedings. please clairify your claim.
Doesn't matter how many foreign people they kill
if you are speaking of iraq, i would like to point out that it's people that are shooting at our army troops that get killed. other than that, who have we been killing? i mean, it's not like we are genocidal. and what about the terrorist that are trying to kill us, not our army but civilians? do you back them? china/iraq/and a bunch of others have killed many of even their own people. what about iran saying they will wipe israel of the map?
Doesn't matter how they crush and oppress their opponents, even those with democratic aspirations, in other countries
last time i checked, we were not too fond of how china does things, especially with the extreme censorship and if you say anything bad about the government their you are automatically jailed. are we the oppressors there and trying to crush them? no. again, if you speak of iraq, do you think we are the oppressors? i would like to remind you that sadam tortured and killed thousands of people. do you think they are going to be worse off? no, they are having elections and voting for a (more) fair (none is perfect) government and not a dictator. what people are we crushing and/or oppressing?
tell me, what country are you from and what have they done? im no nationalist, that is for sure as we are not a perfect nation but as for the selection, i think we are a decent pick.
no, no. *Ukrainian accent* Unix is STRONG! Ok... well it's the "java server" that goes down. It really should be called a daemon, as that is what it is. in anycase, as i tried to articulate previously, the daemon bites the dusk.
a free download AND streaming music?! sounds like the RIAA is about to sue everyone for Christmas. who said they needed to own the rights to music to sue you for downloading music, you pirate! i guess we know who the scrooges are this Christmas.
it's true that it's the app and not the language like it's the girl and not the car. however, in comparison, this is like if the girl got in a fender-bender, the car exploded. other apps may need restarting but they dont take down the daemons it's using, or screw up the module for the executable format too. there are other apps with a bunch more bugs and memory leaks but they dont do the damage that java does.
im not saying im too smart for garbage collection, it's that ive only seen problems when it comes to garbage collection in garbage. hey, if it did it 100% automatically, i would probably think differently but it still depends on the coder to nebulously call it whenever.
im not a big fan of the human race... too many idiots. im not going to be happy until 92% of the worlds population is wiped out. what? i want to keep an extra 3% of idiots for hard labor.:)
umm... id like to point out that java server at work peaks out an eight CPU unix server and crashes(the server app, not the server) daily if not more. while i realize this is a fault in the program from those damn developers, it the ONLY thing to peak the server. all the other stuff running may have a bunch of bugs but they never go nuts like java. also, my brother's cell phone which runs fully on java, crashes. yes, he has to reboot his phone. it seems java is not good with resources. i also agree with the opinion that java is a dying language. as for me, ill stick to c++. i do my own memory managment because i KNOW what the program is doing and not just hoping.
if there is the possibility of life there, we must supernova their sun before they try to crush man-kind. let's face it, it's us or them... THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
This can't be happening... no! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My sweet sweet Product A, how will I live without you. That's right everyone, they killed, no MURDERED Product A. The next thing you know, it's gonna be a genocide of all products containing 'A'. There goes... AJAX! They are going to murder AJAX! Oh the humanity!
with its amy it can plant pupet leaders and disrupt already content countries...
I hate being a bit off topic but if you are referencing Iraq, I'm sure there were plenty (thousands) of tortured a killed people that would disagree with being "content" and the families too. Also, Sadam is on trial for crimes against humanity. Not a whole lot of content people with having a leader like that in charge.
even might consider paying $1 a song if they sell FLAC or another lossless format.
apple only make $0.04 per song. the other $0.96 goes to the greedy RIAA bastards.
If this service allows different formats (including lossless), is compatible with multiple players, has minimum DRM, and enters a pricewar with itunes it would be a good thing.
prepare to be disappointed... it's wma format, a proprietary format, or death. personally. i choose the chicken sandwich.

it was clearly the freedom of speech. :)

it seems the mystery is solved! the dodo birds all jointed together in a giant cult and then drank the koolaide! i should have suspected.
the music industry price fixing? *cough*1990s*cough* NEVER!

dammit... i mean "problems with garbage collection in java." that was not intentional.
im not saying im too smart for garbage collection, it's that ive only seen problems when it comes to garbage collection in garbage. hey, if it did it 100% automatically, i would probably think differently but it still depends on the coder to nebulously call it whenever.

maybe they got bored of enslaving the business world and decided to enslave children too. sounds right up their alley. :)

no, what this really means is we finally know how those pyramids in egypt were made... they constructed themselves!
so here's the break down:

$0.87 to the label
$0.08 to the artist
$0.04 to the distributer (apple)

and by the way, who are the members of the RIAA? the label execs. members of the RIAA get the cash. what are you, some RIAA member or something?
even might consider paying $1 a song if they sell FLAC or another lossless format.
apple only make $0.04 per song. the other $0.96 goes to the greedy RIAA bastards.
