A religion is an organized form of worship and recognition of a divine entity, usually a Creator. What divine entity is common among all pluralists, as you call us? I go to a Christian church every week, often twice a week. If I recognize any God…

I was also excited about this promotion. I drink around 3 diet drinks a day at work (caffeine addict), so I figured I'd swap my Diet Cokes for Diet Pepsis. Lasted about half a week, won once (but lost the cap), but just couldn't drink the swill. I s…

So if my brother has a WMA file, and he imports it to iTunes with Apple lossless, will it keep it the same size and quality? If so, that's a killer feature for folks looking to move iTunesward w/o having to transcode in lossy formats.
-
Well, I hope that transcoding doesn't screw up the sound quality too much. But still, it's good. It's a path to iTunes for people who four hours ago didn't have a reasonable one.
-
This is great. Absolutely great. WMA support (no matter how it's handled) means my brother can now switch to iTunes. I assume the songs will be playable via an iPod as well? They FINALLY added links in my playlists to the artists so that I can ju…

Neo, I sent you a PM.

A permit is needed because a protest can obstruct traffic, and perhaps lead to an altercation. People have the right to walk down the street, you know, so you can't just have people blocking the way whenever they decide to set down a row of soapboxe…

If you want to ban guys holding hands in the park, I have no problem, since I'll be right next to you banning men and women doing the same thing. Tit for tat. But you see, that's a totally different situation than the smokers polluting the air. …

So yes, let the artists starve and live terrible lives. Down with art! Give the filthy hoi polloi their free entertianment and run out of town anyone who wants just compensation! Hooray for the revolution! Wait, why's there nothing left on TV?

And who the hell are you to decide what is excessive when I am the creator of the work? What have you created? What sort of art do you make? I support the public domain. I support Creative Commons, and have licensed out every piece of non…

How is it excessive to want to hold onto the work I sweat and cry over, slave over to finish, pour myself into, for the majority of my life? How is 50 years of ownership excessive when one creates a work of art that could potentially be availabl…

Tattoos are gross. Permanent scars, willfully applied. My signifigant other has one. I tried to see if I could scratch it out of his arm one time, but only because he said "you hate it, but it's not like you'd try to scratch it out of my arm." Didn'…

20 years is not long enough. I might be able to accept 40, or just flat 50. But anything less than half an average human lifespan is way too short.
