Each day more and more people join this religion. You see them everwhere now, they are the stuck up, self centered, egomanliamacs, who drive expensive SUV, and are always taking on their cell phones.

You're joking right? That's the only explanation I can concieve for what has to be one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read on this forum. It's this "religion" that allows you to enjoy the standard of living you enjoy in this country. Unless you're a government employee (oh, wait, they are ulimately paid by this "religion," too) you are either directly or indirectly paid by this "religion." When someone poor hires me to do a job maybe I will change my mind. I work in one of the richest towns in one of the richest counties of the country. Most if not all of my clients own expensive SUV's and/or European made sports cars or sedans. I'm sure they all own atleast one cell phone. Guess what? They are all just regular people despite their 6+ figure income. All very nice, generous, personable people.

Sounds to me like a case of jealousy. Maybe you should quit your *****in', spend less time playing around with a silly game, and exploit the talent I know you have.

Just a thought.

If you had been here longer you would know that I am a sinical bastard. When I am serious about a subject, trust me you will know it.

For the record, I could careless about what a person owns, or does for a living. I do think that driving and talking on a cell phone is bad mojo and should be done sparingly, and I for one like SUV's. No jealousy is a word that a yuppy would us to defend against facicious comments such as the one I made.

Yuppies are people to, and they have feelings, as proven by the fact that they all have a shrinks number on their cell phones speed dial.

Back on topic,

I have just read that the RIAA has released its own P2P programs and that these programs install "media revenue" spy ware on your PC. This way the RIAA can track what music you have on your PC and were it got it from and where it was sent. That this software embeds itself in the music file and travels with the file. This way the RIAA can say that a specific file orginated on X machine owned by so and so with the serial number and any system info it can obtain.

I did a sweep of my system with www.pestpatrol.com software and sure enough I had a media revenue spy ware on my pc. That spy ware has since been deleted.

If the RIAA has released its own P2P software than any one who uses this new software will be setting themselfs up for one big fall. To be safe, I would not use any of the newer P2P programs that have been released since the beginning of the year.
