[2001-08-15 17:37:00] - i suppose i could have tried tweaking it, but i don't feel like reformatting my hd right now. - mig

[2001-08-15 17:36:00] - jdb:  no it just flat out refused to mount it. - mi

[2001-08-15 17:20:00] - mig: hmm, you couldn't even get ready-only working? -jdb

[2001-08-15 17:12:00] - american pie 2

[2001-08-15 17:10:00] - the reason piracy is so rampant in asian countries is because they pay significantly more for cds and other media than we do.  of course there are enough honest for them to be profitable. - mig

[2001-08-15 17:08:00] - vinnie:  any music industry typically doesn't lose money.  i don't think it's possible to deal with popular music and be in the red at the same time. - mig

[2001-08-15 17:06:00] - i liked ntfs, but it sucked nuts that i couldn't mount it in linux so i had to switch back to fat 32. - mig

[2001-08-15 17:04:00] - yes, 1024 terabytes. i think xfs can handle even bigger file systems than ntfs. -jdb

[2001-08-15 16:29:00] - the ntfs file system allows hard drives up to 16 exabytes. hooooray. i take it this is the prefix after tera? -dave

[2001-08-15 16:24:00] - kryotech (a company specialized in cooling cpus) releases a 1.86 ghz athlon dubbed "super g2" which beats out an overclocked 2 ghz p4. -dave

[2001-08-15 16:06:00] - what's the name of the girl that comes with katie and andrew sometimes? -dave

[2001-08-15 16:02:00] - either way, i do agree the mentality is the same - vinnie

[2001-08-15 16:01:00] - boing: i certainly agree (i'd be surprised if sony didn't have their hands in it at the least), but for all i know the riak may actually be losing money there, as opposed to here where the riaa are losing money, but gaining more in the overall - vinnie

[2001-08-15 15:50:00] - vinnie: I may be wrong, but I think it's a safe assumption that the RIAA and the RIAK are affiliated, and comprised of the same members. - boing

[2001-08-15 15:45:00] - though they seem to be even less intelligent than they are here. - mig

[2001-08-15 15:45:00] - vinnie:  and yes, i do know it is the recording industry in korea, but it's still the same mentality of the riaa here. - mig

[2001-08-15 15:32:00] - ack, what do you think of that? i'll just shut up for a while - vinnie

[2001-08-15 15:30:00] - well, um, i was being sarcastic as well. so would do you think of that? - vinnie

[2001-08-15 15:30:00] - ah, sarcasm. the bane of my existence - vinnie

[2001-08-15 15:02:00] - yes.  i thought the tags wouldn't be necessarily. - mig

[2001-08-15 15:00:00] - mig: was that sarcasm? - dewey

[2001-08-15 14:56:00] - mig: they are? i wasn't aware of that - vinnie

[2001-08-15 14:45:00] - vinnie:  yes of course they're being wronged, because all states are entitled to a piece of every single transaction that takes place within it. - mig

[2001-08-15 14:44:00] - mig: what really would suck though, is if states had to raise normal sales tax because of a decrease in sales due to increase in internet sales -dave

[2001-08-15 14:43:00] - vinnie: other states that would benefit are ones that house the large shipping companies, like ups. i'm sure ups has so much more business now that you can buy stuff online -dave

[2001-08-15 14:36:00] - it seems like so much of the stuff I buy on the net comes from only a few states: california, most notably - vinnie

[2001-08-15 14:35:00] - i would doubt the federal government cares much about taxing the internet yet, although I'm sure i could be proven wrong. i bet all but a few states feel they are being wronged by internet transactions though - vinnie

[2001-08-15 14:33:00] - mig, boing: just for clarification, the riaa isn't mentioned in that article. it's the recording industry association of korea - vinnie

[2001-08-15 14:30:00] - http://www.startribune.com/fungames/jesse_quote/index.shtml

[2001-08-15 14:30:00] - dave:  and to answer your other question, yes, i still experience long lines when i go to best buy to get something. - mig

[2001-08-15 14:29:00] - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11767-2001Aug14.html

[2001-08-15 14:22:00] - state governments, then.  doesn't make it anymore right. - mig

[2001-08-15 14:19:00] - mig: actually, congress doesn't really want to tax the internet, it's the state govts that want to. -dave

[2001-08-15 14:05:00] - saying that it's to protect retail stores is just a PR move to make it look justified. - mig

[2001-08-15 14:04:00] - dave:  it's just that the government just wants a piece of the action.  they can't stand that there are transactions taking place which they're not getting a cut out of. - mig

[2001-08-15 14:02:00] - and even then, best buy still has lotsa business doesn't it? -dave

[2001-08-15 14:02:00] - and i dont' think online stores are that much a threat to most retailers.  the only stores that are affected in my opinion are computer hardware stores -dave

[2001-08-15 13:59:00] - i say paying shipping is bad enough. -dave

[2001-08-15 13:58:00] - they project a possible $13 billion in potential taxes by 2004 -dave

[2001-08-15 13:57:00] - over 40 governors are urging congress to let them tax internet transactions: http://www.washtech.com/news/regulation/11889-1.html -dave

[2001-08-15 13:55:00] - though I admit that's not the most comprehensive scientific study - boing

[2001-08-15 13:55:00] - just in a focus group of one, me, I bought more CDs in the year that I was using napster than I have in the rest of my life combined - boing

[2001-08-15 13:54:00] - better link for drop/add : https://www.ban-vtweb.vt.edu/bprod/owa/twgkwbis.P_WWWLogin - dewey

[2001-08-15 13:54:00] - I agree that the RIAA has skewed priorities - boing

[2001-08-15 13:54:00] - and when they get sales in the same ballpark as the previous year, they think it's a problem that has to be blamed on someone - boing

[2001-08-15 13:53:00] - Drop/Add is open.  Deadline is Aug. 31  https://www.ban-vtweb.vt.edu - dewey

[2001-08-15 13:52:00] - ever heard of a company that suddenly jumped from $29 mil to $180 mil in sales just from "business as usual". - mig

[2001-08-15 13:51:00] - dave: still very odd that the riaa would claim that sales would jump to more than five times what it was the year before. - mig

[2001-08-15 13:49:00] - dave:  i had misread the article. - mig

[2001-08-15 13:48:00] - dave:  replace $154 in revenue with $154 in sales. - mig

[2001-08-15 13:35:00] - mig: it's very easy to have an incease in sales and a decrease in revenue. just look at amd. they've sold more cpu's than ever, but they're making less because they slashed the prices -dave

[2001-08-15 13:19:00] - yeah, cool layout - vinnie

[2001-08-15 13:11:00] - dewey: weird... roanoke was #15 for me too, but I didn't have any off the east coast.  norfolk was my #1 (which I'm more than a little skeptical of) - boing
