Musicians should get another job that pays

Poor old musicians complaining they get no money, Music labels with a business plan from the beginning of last century.

People who make music should now just accept that they will never earn a living from recording music in this digital age and find a job that does. Does that mean music will die? like the IFPI thinks. No it just means that people who have a passion for music will continue to make music, but only for love. (or maybe a pint if they are lucky)

In any case why do we need record labels now anyway? aren't they completely redundant?

Why?

They shouldn't bother putting in "safe mode", just so they can say IE8 is the browser of choice for wankers.

Air crash investigations

Should be a fascinating episode....

Shocking

Presumably the unlucky rodent must have touched the neutral.

Cerca, trova

How funny would have it been if there was a crudely drawn knob underneath.

Chess master Pwned by Bishop

The bodyguard gave it a good beating however.

I still play DOOM

Albeit GLDOOM @1024x768 with mouse look, it is incredibly fast and playable and wait for it....it even works under Vista. I tend to pick a random level and try and complete it from scratch, otherwise it is too easy as you carry over the weapons and ammo from previous levels.

Hope they FAIL

They move their manufacturing operation to China, a market that plays by different rules to the West but they Don't like it when the consumer does a similar thing by exploiting different markets.

BTW top comment by Charlie Clark.

Wiki vandalism

"Creative Fail Limited (SGX: C76) is a listed manufacturer of inferior computer multimedia products based in Singapore"

Haha

Just finished flushing my DNS cache

The name of the company managing this should be called Cistern Systems.

But seriously....

Maybe he was thinking of dinosaurs after he "rapter" around the lamp post.

@Cynical thought

XP used to run just fine with 256MB RAM, now 512MB is barely enough. I do wonder sometimes if the updates MS releases slow your machine to a crawl to make you go out and buy a new one. although some of the blame for this is the bloated "Internet security" suites that in my view are unnecessary for most users behind a decent router.

Goldilocks

if you think about it there are a number of things that make this planet "just right" to have life emerge on it, like the large amount of Iron which as well acting as a shield against rays, helped the ocean release oxygen into the atmosphere. And the unusually large moon acted a giant mixing spoon in the primordial soup.

But that's why we live here on Earth and not on Gamma Hydra 12,400 light years away.

Another thing about Guy Fawkes

I bet there is more CO2 released (and who knows what else) on November 5th than any other day in the year, with all these thousands of bonfires.

I say BAN that first.

it is such a strange thing to celebrate anyway.

Maybe not just Ubuntu

Since I installed 1 of the performance & compatibilty patches on my Wndows Vista a similar thing has been happening with my second hard drive (spinning up and down) I will now have a play with my bios settings and see if it goes away.
