Wow shucks. All of these compliments. Does anybody ever listen to the Viking Youth Power Hour? That's the second podcast I ever listened to. And Michelle you should check out Simulacrum at the foursevens collective. The guy is SO funny. I tend to like my podcasts funny and/or informational. (Well I do like nodcast too which is neither but it's still really good)Okay so maybe funny is more important. I don't know. I also really like Inside the Net because I always learn something new about net culture. I guess her and Leo got turfed off some TV show in the states. I wonder what that's about? Gotta make supper.

Heh. I think Audra made you moderator of this forum - or was it me?Anyhow, all it means is that you can close threads when they get too long, and you can also edit people's posts if you want to go on a crazy power trip. Or even delete entire threads, if you edit the first post in the thread and then check the "delete post" box. Seriously though. A "PM" is a "private message". You can find them by clicking on "My Profile" in the little menu under the babble logo. You will then find a list of private messages that only you and the person who sent them to you can read. P.S. Now Nora's a moderator of this forum too. Try not to get too drunk on the power. [ 17 February 2006: Message edited by: Michelle ]

If you get drunk on knowledge, what's the hangover like? Do you get indigestion of the brain, or just a really really bad headache?OK: yesterday's episode. This business about the RIAA preventing copying of CDs, somehow. (How, by the way?) You guys say that's a US thing. But I heard, somewhere, that Sony was going to do that on its own accord. What's to stop big music companies doing this anyway? Edit: Here's something from the Electronic Frontier Foundation about CD copy-protection software. quote: San Francisco - In response to an open letter written by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), SunnComm Technologies, Inc., has outlined what it has done and will do to address potential security problems caused by its MediaMax CD copy-protection software and to help protect against future vulnerabilities. Use of the software on CDs released by Sony BMG has received significant media attention, but many consumers are unaware that the software was also used by several independent music labels.SunnComm says it will ensure that future versions of MediaMax will not install when the user declines the end user license agreement (EULA) that appears when a CD is first inserted in a computer CD or DVD drive. SunnComm has also agreed to include uninstallers in all versions of MediaMax software, to submit all future versions to an independent security-testing firm for review, and to release to the public the results of the independent security testing. SunnComm and EFF are discussing how to ensure that legitimate security researchers who have been, are, or will be working to identify security problems with MediaMax will not be accused of copyright violations under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In January, SunnComm published a complete list of all music CDs that employ the MediaMax technology and sent a letter to the independent labels using MediaMax with information about a security vulnerability in MediaMax version 5. Music label Sony BMG has separately committed to addressing security concerns arising from CDs using MediaMax.

They should be internal. There should be no need to install them, anymore than you'd need to install the volume control or the button that makes the CD pop out.The opposite is often true, though: the CD player does have to be hooked up to the sound card if you want to play a CD through the computer's speakers, and if it's not then the only way you can hear a CD is through, ironically, the headphone jack on the drive itself.
