subjected to it? it's common to play music in public areas. you don't like it, bring headphones. this is not unique to subway stations. go into wendy's and they'll be playing crappy music over the PA. the only solution is to bring headphones and listen to your own music, sorry. it's just music though, it won't hurt you, i promise.

Man, wouldn't that be great? Catholics ruling the country! Just what our founding fathers wanted! Because Catholicism just makes sense! We can kill prisoners and then imprison women who have abortions! It's just so logical. Yup, those Catholics really have it figured out. All our little boys will undoubtedly enjoy all the attention from the priests.

Yup, if I had to decide where to send my child for education, I'd send them to school with an organization that has had absolutely NO HISTORY OF ABUSING CHILDREN like the Catholic church. Yup, the Catholic church is the best place to send my kid. They would never be abused there, under god's watchful eye! Ohh and they'd learn all about how evolution is a lie! Don't forget that important fact! Imagine where society would be if we let our children believe THAT horrible "theory".

Yeah they give you Unlimited* bandwidth, which is very different from truly unlimited bandwidth.

The asterisk means that they can suspend your account whenever they want for using too much bandwidth. It's so funny to never see the word unlimited without the asterisk in the hosting world.

They oversell like crazy. A friend of mine used to work for them. Seriously, they put 8,000 sites on a single server. hostnine.com is just as bad and also greatly oversells their servers as well. It's funny though, if you go in live chat and ask "how many other sites will be on my server with me?" they'll always say "oh less than 100" which is completely false.

This is only true of their shared hosting service though. I can't speak for their VPS service. Also their founder Brent Oxley is a giant douche.

Indeed, they're lucky to be paid to do what they love AT ALL. Most americans are stuck doing some job they HATE, and these "artists" complain because they're not able to buy another gold statue of themselves.

Here's a hint to all those "artists": most musicians are broke as fuck but keep playing anyway, because they're not in it for the money, they're in it for the music. As a musician myself, I would be honored if people downloaded my music for free. I'm sharing something that I created with the world, and the fact that another person can get joy out of my music just like I can makes it all worthwhile. I think that any street musician would agree.
