My latest story, which will be continually updated: Raunchy Referrers. Basically it lists all the 'interesting' links that people follow to find my site.

Aimee: Tegan and Sara are playing at the Westend on April 9th. You must go!

John: You can check them out at the 'Great American' on May 6th in San Fran. Maybe I'll come down on a websaver and we can go since I'm missing their Toronto show when I'm in Winnipeg.

From MPAA believes all Netizens are criminals: No sir, it's because the Net is populated exclusively by thieves, pirates, organized criminals and punk kids with no respect for decent standards of civil behavior, Valenti argued. MAYBE, just maybe, it makes sense not to alienate YOUR CUSTOMERS by calling them criminals. An industry at war with its customer isn't a very lucrative industry to be in.

Just who are these pirates, thieves, organized criminals, and punk kids you may ask?

From a Pew Internet Report: Forty-seven percent of those in the general public whose household income exceeds $75,000 per year say that downloading music is not stealing, compared to 37% of people in households making less than $30,000. And 45% of college graduates are in the pro-downloading camp, compared to 25% of Americans who have not completed high school.

So they're rich, educated, young Americans. Wow. Which is precisely why the MPAA and RIAA are going after the service providers. Because could you imagine throwing 60 million rich, educated, young Americans in jail?? Neither can I.

Maybe these turkeys should find a way to sell more units (also known as art for those not in the business) instead of fighting us.

Some one on the pho list made some comments about how they thought you could protect music from being copied. Brian Zisk responded: Yes, you can definitely keep music from being copied. As long as it cannot be heard.... Right on.

Still recovering from CS241 but moving on to Stat 230 and marketing. One of our questions on marketing is a financial question. It's basically taken from Bus121. It seems very redundant that we're being tested on material from an introduction course that is a prereq for this one. I would much rather focus on marketing than break even and financial ratio analysis.

And stats is just hell. I have no intuitive sense of how probabilities behave which is holding me back. Fortunately Langeman is helping me out.
