Ummm, how do you dust for irises?

Yeah, maybe Pay Pal had a look at the Minecraft site and figured nothing a site this shitty is selling could make this much money. Something's gotta be rotten here. And if it was anyone other than Pay Pal, I'd probably believe that too.

Where was all this good advice when I was in high school?

Either that or that many people lacking sufficient disposable income, if forced somehow to buy legit copies of all media, would shift the money they spend on food and housing toward that. Dream on, IP holders.

They pulled it off the opposite of well, imho. It was the only one I couldn't watch. It's just cringe worthy.

Buying cheap was the only way a lot of people could have all the things they were told they needed by the marketing industry.

You're right. Sharing a name with such a shitty baseball team could result in a lowered public perception of the party's competence.

Yeah, it's not too good at being your music library tool. I did find it useful when exploring for music on blogs and such.

It can parse a webpage and puts all the mp3 links it finds into a playlist, downloading them to a configurable directory as it plays them. A pretty useful feature, imho.

lol

Good thing I couldn't get online for too long yesterday, and thus missed reading the Slashdot stories. I can read those now instead of the useless unfunny overdone crap we're getting today.

All I hear is how they keep turning it on and shutting it down.

Based on your other post above, it seems that, if not "an idiot and an inoramus", you were at the very least being a troll.

"You atheists seem to be a very hostile and angry group yourselves!"

That's painting with a fairly broad brush, don't you think?

Spoken like a true dinosaur.

If the only modern music you've been exposed to is Top 40, then I guess I understand your POV, but trust me old timer, there's a lot of good music still being made.

I guess the difference between now and back in the day is that the cream tended to make it into the mainstream back then. Now the mainstream is mainly determined by marketing budgets, so you have to do a bit of work to find the good stuff, but it's out there.

Yeah, for the first couple weeks anyway. After that you'd settle into a trackable pattern.

Traditional print hasn't figured out how to stay competitive in the new world and is reducing quality of reporting by reducing to a skeleton staff. Might as well remove the barriers and allow the alternative media equal footing. Sure there are a lot of schmucks with blogs, but there are also a lot of knowledgeable and passionate folks out there who write blogs. Sure the wrinkles still need to be worked out, as in, what, if any, should the qualifications be for bloggers. Should it be based on readership? Past output? Who makes that decision? This stuff can be ironed out over time as problems present themselves. But you have to start somewhere.
