Not sure if anyone else has commented on "I think it would be a good idea for you to pay for music. After all, if no one pays for music, there's no money to pay artists at all, regardless of the fairness of the contracts and the distribution mechanisms."
But paying $$ to see the said artists at gigs can sure make up the lost $$ from CD sales (that the said artists get stuff all % of). When I was in bands, we always accepted on GIVING AWAY our music on tape/cd so ppl turned up to gigs and paid $$ which we got 100% or vast majority of.. SCREW THE RIAA and all the other f*cking business shirts who want $$ for 'nothing',,|,
What ever happened to people making money from gigs? When I was in bands, we used to give away our CDs (in the early 90s mainly) and make $$ from gigs. Bands like Metallica also used to advocate copying their music as the more people that heard the music, more people went to gigs (where the real money is for artists). Does anyone actually like to gig anymore?
Hmm in my owners manual for my motorbike and car they both state to not break the speed limit and use the vehicle in a dangerous manner. My bike also has warning stickers on the fuel tank with regards to not putting the helmet on the handlebars or fuel tank as it may fall off (and break protective lining or shell) It looks like they do have (some) accountability with things like this?
With regards to Ted Bundy, he did defend himself for most of his trial(s?) and he did go to jail then get executed. Maybe the same might happen to the people involved with the SCO case.
references:
"Despite his five court-appointed defense lawyers, Bundy represented himself as his own legal counsel. After being convicted, Bundy was sentenced to death by Judge Edward Cowart. During his trial for the Kimberly Leach murder, while Bundy was acting as his own attorney, he married former coworker Carole Ann Boone in the courtroom as the trial was being conducted"

So I guess that means the millions of tunes sold on Apples online store do not go on ipods? They must either go on a computer hard drive and that's it or deleted? How stupid are these lawyers or whoever thought of this tax?
Being an Australian, as we have always called them mobile phones, hearing the term "Cell phone" in an American tv show/movie always made me think the term for this sounded stupid. I wondered how Americans thought of us calling them "mobile phones". It's funny how different countries can have nationwide slang for what is essentially the same item(s).
luckily for us Aussies, all this is common knowledge. At least to the 30+ years people who used to watch shows like The Leyland Brothers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyland_Brothers as they always showed this kind of stuff on their shows. I didn't realise it was relatively unknown elsewhere?
You're an idiot.
1: It's not my site as if I would make something that bad
2: I have no care about "that Crocodile guy", never watched a show of his or had his life interact with mine.
3: Getting attention from America is about last of my list of "to do's"
And to hide under "Anonymous Coward", I think I'd do that if I wanted to spam any stuff of mine on here.

Blame Bill Gates!

Much like the "Do not use under water" stickers for hairdryers are for these people

Definitely wasn't in this post: "while surrounded by a dozen women, ages 55+ deserves some kind of reward...'"

It was good until you spelt "lose" with "loose"

These guys have the cheapest hardware in Australia but their web page definitely doesn't have a budget at all :P http://www.msy.com.au/
I thought someone would have mentioned Alone in the dark (first) by now!
It was abysmal enough for me to sink in at least 1000 hours of time into it. God damn I LOVED that game, on the amstrad.
It wasn't really so much of an accident. Check out ergot (rye bread mould) to see what good ol' Hoffman was chasing (and found!) :)
Nootropics (smart drugs) have been around for many many years. The original piracetam has been taken by friends daily for 20 years. The effects are they eem to think more, be more intelligent, have more motivation to study/research and digest more from what they do study. A good little FAQ is at http://www.erowid.org/smarts/piracetam/piracetam_f aq.shtml
And for general info on nootropics, just google "nootropics". I.e http://www.google.com.au/search?q=nootropics&start =0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozi lla:en-US:official
