I’m getting a little frustrated by iTunes. I guess I fall in the same realm as Jeremy who apparently is running into the same issues and, ironically, posted the same issue yesterday.
Last week I wanted Dave Matthews Band and a search of iTunes Music Store resulted in no music. Upon research I found that DMB is boycotting iTunes because they want you to buy their CDs in stores! Come on guys! That’s so last century!
Today I am in a Metallica mood. You can’t make the argument that And Justice For All wasn’t a great commentary on today’s political system!!
Whaddya know? iTunes doesn’t have Metallica! I guess this surprises me to a degree. Lars Ulrich, Metallica’s outspoken drummer, was one of the huge driving forces behind the RIAA’s decimation of the original Napster. So why would he be opposed to legal music downloads and purchases?
Stumble it!

I know, but at the same token, I don’t want to buy whole albums anymore because chances are, I’m paying $17 for 4 or 5 songs that I actually like and will listen to.
And Metallica and DMB are not among the artists trying to stay afloat. ;)
SHE hasn’t been aught yet and is still on the loose. LOL
And the biggest upset of round 1…. Bucknell beat Kansas!!!
Marc,
I picked KY to win but Cincinatti could easily upset them… ;)
Stephan I saw it coming. But I doubt they’ll beat the ‘Zags. ;) My biggest surprise was Bubknell beating Kansas….
That website probably doesn’t do what you think it does. It just searches through a database of known MD5 checksums, and provides you with a word known to produce that checksum. It doesn’t mean that the hash is reversable in any conventional sense.
Another option that might be worth mentioning is Drupal - http://drupal.org - it’s free, open, based on php/mysql and is designed with multiple contributors in mind. That said, it is a little more complex than WordPress and is not necessarily a great first step for those just coming to blogging.
FYI - there is also a hosted Drupal service (similar to TypePad) offered by Bryght - http://bryght.com
Vote for me first!!!!

I’m sure you’re passionate about this but the point is that due process was followed and whatever his motives, Michael Schiavo is still the legal guardian. So the proicess was followed correctly and the courts on all levels upheld that and Congress had no business involving itself in an individuals life, plain and simple.
You know what I find completely ironic about this case. Conservatives sound like liberals and liberals sound like conservatives. Conservatives sit back and cheer Congressional and Presidential involvement and demand Jeb to get involved more than he is and expect the courts to intervene in an creative way by setting precendential law. Liberals on the other hand are cheering the courts strict constructionist interpretation of law and are urging the government to not get involved.
Has the world been turned upside down?
Good call. Thanks.
