Incidentally I play the piano, guitar and clarinet... Perhaps that's the problem. I will reflect upon that.

I'll give you another one. Most creative work is crap and distinctly not tied to the return of investment. If I buy a book for £6 I get a few days if not a couple of weeks of enjoyment out of it. This is good. Well done authors. If I b

65% of my pre tax income disappears on tax through income tax, NI and VAT so yes it's already happening.

Also we can afford to pay them more if we don't spin all our cash on distribution top slicing and go to the gigs etc.

You should steal much more if you've already paid for it.

Sell them, not that they're worth anything now, keep the rips, steal all the new stuff and don't feel guilty about it. You've been milked enough.

As someone dipping into physics very late after a long journey on mathematics, this thread is both depressing and terrifying yet at the same time strangely motivating. I think there are some big questions without answers still. I want to ha

Whatever. Zero fucks given. I have no physical media and never will again. Not playing these games any more. I'll continue to steal stuff. If it is good, I'll buy the mp3 or go to a gig. What about those newly defined criminals Am

At a basic level, this is also why I still drag my TI83 around. 99% of the functions I need in one little box that is always ready for action.

I spoke to someone a few years ago who has an asymmetrical transit cost agreement between two companies. He joked that it may have been lucrative to just pipe /dev/random to their echo port 24/7. I suspect that is one of the

This happened to me a few years ago. The activation blew on my Win7 machine when I was without internet for about 6 weeks. I phoned it through in the end which was an eye opener. If I had to sign in to use software I'd be fecked in thi

Absolutely no idea. AFAIK they just disappear into a void. Used to be like this on Demon, Virgin Media and Easynet. The latter fixed their stuff circa 2007 however.

Why? Simply to assert their self-assigned rights over everything that you write, think and do and to line up ready to easily collect the drip feed of cash they want from everyone. For this they trade you semi-functional software, vague prom

Good publicity is a good return if you're a lawyer and probably cheaper than marketing so it doesn't always work like that. Otherwise, yep.

GRE tends to bugger off down a hole in a lot of ISPs in the UK from experience. Very annoying.

Yeah well the lawyers in question will probably look like shit if they lose so they want money so it's not a complete loss. Horrible but probably true.

There are a number of companies that shift a good selection of parts in kit form to start with. This is the one I tend to recommend: http://www.bitsbox.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cP... That plus side cutters

The only killer value here is the material and there's little of that on display at the moment. What appears to be there is stuff you can find for nothing on the web with a little googling ( http://allaboutcircuits.com/

I genuinely agree with you here. I've gone back to a desktop mail client (Thunderbird) and moved away from the web for this sort of thing myself. As far as the web goes, I am very impressed at openstreetmap. That is fast, accurate and

I came up with the same answer many years ago at school. I was told I'd make a good engineer but a bad philosopher by my teacher :)

That's nothing. I have 5 windows and 2 actual bedrooms although one is debatable and that commands an extra £1100 a month on top of that. Going back to 2002 my first flat was a place under a betting shop in Islington and had a door tha
