Or, to support the moral argument against file sharing: Buy the DRM'ed tracks from itunes, msn music or anywhere else that sells it...
Then go and download the same music DRM free from the piratebay making sure you don't click on their adverts and accidentally upset the IFPI.
This way you get music which you are free to use on your mp3 player of choiceand the IFPI gets their money... ...and the artists don't go bankrupt...
what's wrong with that?
funny i thought i was being quite resonable and answering the question, compared to you, throughing abuse around..but anyway
switch to linux: start sucking dicks and getting fucked in the ass. -whatever turns you on...
whats the big deal? at the moment all it seems they have done is transmitted data(with small d). We have been able to do that since morse code...
Can somebody explain to me what the big deal is becasue apart from the ultimate aim, I'm failing to see how this is a breakthrough.
the answer is pretty simple and comes in two parts:
a) no it should not need that amount of RAM
b) switch to ubuntu feisty with Xgl/compiz/beryl and you have an operating system which is better than vista ultimate on the same RAM which can do more... easy questions get easy answers..

In July 2003, British musicologists stumbled upon similarities between the lyric and rhyming schemes of "Yesterday" and Nat King Cole's "Answer Me", leading to speculation that McCartney had been influenced by the song. McCartney's publicists denied any resemblance between "Answer Me" and "Yesterday".
I would respond by pointing out that the GPL does not protect all freedom, it protects the user's freedom. truly free software is released under a BSD-like license, but these llicenses do not respect the user's freedom because there is no copyleft to protect the software from being released under a different license,
If you are just showing your displeasure of the GPL of by objecting to the GPL in relation to the word free that is fine, but remember vthat the accurate way of describing the GPL is that it respects the b>user's freedom, and not sleazy business tactics...
is it possible to cause slashdot someones phoneline? if 50 people ring this number these guys must get pretty pissed off. Right guys, lets phone the low lying scum....
Does anyone else find the Internet a rather unlikely medium for spreading incest? Incest happens within the family, one which probably doesn't think much of the Internet.

Why re-invent the wheel?
if you think about it the wheel has been re-invented Many times.... its a bit like saying why re-invent encryption algorithms...
first there was wooden cart wheels, then spoked wheels, then hydralic spoked wheels... the wheel admittedly isnt a new concept, but the implemntation of the wheel you use everyday has only been around for about 25 years....
I would say what you have is amazing in the US - practically anyone can set up a radio station... It costs so much here to operate a radio staation that they are all shite because they all cover 'mainstream' things... sure the BBC is good in many respects, I'm all for the BBC, but unless you plan on listing to stations devoted to:
8 songs of pop #(radio 1) anything from 30's to now which includes just about everything #(radio 2) classical music #(radio 3) news, radio plays, and unfunny radio comedy #(radio 4) sport #(radio five [live]) - on DAB digital radio and on the internet there is There is also 6music (which is alternative / 'indie'[guitar-pop]) and several others which no-one listens to...
so what does this mean: well think what stations you have in the US? country, hiphop, rock, community, that crazy Evangelist who always seems to be there etc We don't have any of that. there are NO terrestrial community radio stations. There are no terrestrial folk music stations
Compared to you we have nothing
Now I'm not pointing the blame some-one else can do that. But you Americans are LUCKY
you might have missed the cynical touch
the very sucessful was sarcastic. - i know i should have made it more obvious... Now try reading it again
- i am UK based btw
lets think, Not many other companies SELL their operating system to consumers aas an installable device... (for Mac its bundled, ~Always. *most* flavours of consumer *nix are free and other Os's haave negilble impact.)
-M.S. are justt reporting the number of OEM's - nothing really spectaular.
Oh this reminds me of one time in history.
the USA was so scared of communism the were convinced that the domino effect would take place and therefore joined in several very successful campaigns in Korea and Vietnam.
now microsoft is doing it on a legal scale with patents as bullets.
