Q: Why did the hipster burn his mouth?
A: He ate pizza before it was cool!
Should have used emacs...
Actually, the world would be a different place if people weren't allowed abstention. When you come to a T-junction in your car, ou need to choose left or right, you don't just sit there without choosing or turning back...

Yeah, I hate these binary people, the truth is that the world is ternary.
Yes.
No.
Maybe.

FTFY. You must be new here
How about McDrive? That sounds catchy, don't you think?
It was shit. I didn't really realise quite how shit it was until I upgraded to an iPhone. Never looked back since.
It's not a phone for the general population. The N900 was a phone for hackers, developers, etc.: people who needed a pocket computer with phone functionality. Sort of the "anti-iPhone" in its philosophy. You were clearly not in the (tiny) target demographic, and whoever sold you yours was not your friend, didn't know you very well, or didn't as the right questions. (I just described a salesman, didn't I?)
Don't worry, he just read on Slashdot that the N900 was cool so he bought it. And then he read a review of the iPhone of Reddit and bought it too.
if you're young and listen to recent music, then owning is not that expensive
if you're older than dirt like myself and want to listen to lots of music from the last 40 years or longer than renting is a lot cheaper. add to this the fact that there is so much music to listen to that there is no sense in buying even single songs you might listen to a few times and then go on to something else
Oh, CRY me a TORRENT!
(Also, Led Zep is only available on Spotify, Beatles and AC/DC only on iTunes, how do I choose? No definitely, the cheapest option was to backup all my CDs -- and that's a massive lot of them. Vinyls are a bit more annoying to back up but then again... see above)
The you buy from the next service, when they shut down, repeat.
That's because you don't understand about the storage the OP is talking about. FLAC, extracted from the CD, without DRM. Your service goes bust / stops streaming that band, who cares, you still have your music!
"Can you program?" "Well, I'm literate, if that's what you mean!"
