Arrest the people working at the Federal reserve.
Make public the identities of the people who actually own it (such as the Rockefeller family).
Make a new currency system that will enable us to actually have money that is worth something, not this worthless piece of paper with Benjamin Franklin on it (shame on the reserve for associating them with this monumental scam).
Make a new law that makes the IRS legal, and the income tax legal - because it is currently ILLEGAL to collect income tax in the US.
Stop the war in Iraq and apologize for it.
Put Bush on trial for crimes against humanity.
Restore peace and bring freedom to the galaxy...
Aside from that, hey, have fun!

I hate to say it, but Geothermal heating systems, even in residential areas, is alraedy available, and has been for such a long time - more than 20 years ago my uncle installed one and it's been working great ever since. So who decided to post an article HERE, of all places, where most geeks are already aware of this technology and don't need a summary of what it is, like it's 1983? I wonder how far the bias curve goes... are we getting info here in Slashdot on a "need to know" basis? Is there someone paying so that these articles appear here? I thought this was a publicly-driven website, not commercially-driven. Where'd this come from? And in case you need info about geothermal heating, check out http://www.geo-exchange.com/. That's a site with in-depth info, standards of the industry, and all that. Don't just give me an article of microwave-reheated crap.

I get it now - you get to stream the song, like Last.fm (what an appropriate name), and then you pay thru your nose for any music you wish to listen.

Before, radio stations would pay for a licence to broadcast each song - a centralized organization would then pay the companies for each broadcast of a song. Bigger hits mean bigger revenues.

This model is now extended to listeners. Instead of ONLY charging the radio station and they lose money, why not charge the listener himself? This way, no radio is "given away" anymore - radio will finally be pay-per-use.

These record companies are eating artists alive, eating record-buyers alive, and now are trying to get more money off us with a tax on internet service, AND charging us for every listen.

How much is this one song worth to you? 5 jobs, a cigar box, and your bank account?
