From personal experience, I don't think it matters so much. I just finished a BA and I'm starting a Masters course next year. My older sister dropped out of college just a couple of weeks into her A-levels.
She's also a bit of a dumbass when it comes to other things, such as how she's been engaged 8 times so far (she's 22).
More interesting would be to see how my half-siblings turn out, as that's a group of 4 boys and a girl, with the girl being the youngest (though a twin with the youngest boy).

Most definitely.
I mean, this doesn't even stop sharing between friends ("This track's pretty cool, have a listen") as it's not like your friends don't know your name and e-mail address anyway. And sharing like that is pretty much only a good thing...
Not to mention it'll make OSS even better, as it could be the only software that's able to be patched without this company jumping them.
(This is assuming they won't go after OSS as a) it's not a big company and b) doing so might violate the GPL?)
As good as the sex was, the really great part of losing my virginity was knowing I was no longer eligible to be sacrificed to dark lords of varying descriptions...
Anyway, what does it matter? It's the material played that is ultimately important, not the method of reproduction.
Thank you. I study music technology and I have never understood audiophiles. Who gives a shit what your stereo sounds like? It's what's coming out of it that's important. I'd rather listen to a shitty recording of a great band, recorded in someone's basement using a tin and some string, than a pristine 24-bit, 96kHz recording of Ms. Spears latest bowel movement...
I don't mind their recommendation system so much, it's simple and it works fine. If you don't like something, you can just skip it or ban it. What I really want is a "ban everything by this band" button. I can't count the number of the times I've gone "Why are you playing me [insert crappy band]?!? I already banned 5 of their songs!"
The next step would be to include a "set a horde of killer bees on this band" button for whenever Panic! At The Disco comes up...
Personally, I'd just like an Office suite that does simple basic things without any fuss. Currently I use AbiWord for word processing as it does everything I need easily and with no fuss. Unfortunately, if I want to do anything like create a spreadsheet or a presentation, I have to wait ages for OpenOffice to load and then trawl the menus for the command I want (before I switched to Abi, after every piece of work I wrote, I'd spend a couple of minutes trying to remember how to add page numbers...).
Any suggestions?
It's gotta be more than looks as when I came back from Amsterdam, nothing happened. I was 18 at the time, have long hair, permanent stubble and usually dress fairly scruffy (especially coming back from a holiday). I was expecting to be mauled by sniffer dogs and have all my bags thoroughly searched, but no. Maybe it's the fact that I was travelling with my parents that convinced them I didn't have an assfull of illegal substances... Or maybe I just have an honest face...

Of course they can tell the difference between 2000 and XP, the theme changed!
"Why the fuck would you do that?" "He's the guy who came up with the iPod" "Oh... "
Pity you couldn't patent it, thanks to prior art.
Straitjackets?

Maybe Linux is violating their patent on marketing non-existent software?

Already happened. They're called Fear Factory.

This might be a helpful starting point. It's what got me started using Linux.
So if the .com's go back up for sale, who's gonna buy "hotsluts.com" other than a porn site?
Not least due to the fact it'll destroy the bookmarks of their valuable customers...
Have a look at Nvu.

Or maybe targetting dead relatives...
This one makes me sad...
I'm pretty sure he was referring to the rapper, MC Lars
You'll have twins calling eachother up... "Dude, stay in there! It's not worth it, they just dragged me out by my legs and spanked me!"
Three? Why not just two?
I'd buy her a birthday drink, but I'm not sure if it would get me arrested...
