Why I'm Never Buying Another Copy Protected Audio CD
When the big record labels saw their profits falling when p2p first took off they came up with the brilliant idea of putting copy protection on their cds. Then profits fell even more because people didn't want to buy the protected disks... and rightly so.
I thought I'd do the right thing and actually purchase Let It Be... Naked, seeing as it was on special, not knowing that it was a copy protected disk, the first I've ever had to deal with. Anyway, I don't have a cd player; it doesn't play on my dvd player (which I use for my main stereo system); I can't rip it on my computer without the tracks being full of clicks and pops (and half the time it makes my drive lock up and computer freeze), so I can't listen to it on my ipod.
So now I've resorted to doing what I could have just as easily done in the first place and not have wasted all that time trying to get past the stupid fake TOC blocks they put in the audio data and everything. So a message to the stupid recording companies: copy protection is a stupid idea. No wonder you're loosing so much money.
So fire the geniuses you've got working up there at EMI head office on six figure salaries and get with it already.

On another happy note :o)
Hi
Last semester my sister Elizabeth (who some of you may remember) was studying her first semester of her last year at uni when she fell extremely ill with cancer in her thyroid.
I am pleased to announce she is on her way to recovery and whilst being sick managed to get two distinctions and a credit!! So for any of you (including me) who are worried about uni, think of Liz and remember IT CAN BE DONE :o) In high school she was the least smartest kid in her grade and had (and still has) Dislexia (spelling I know) so yeah I'm a very proud lil sis today :o) and HAD to tell someone :o)
Ok well love ya's

MIT OpenCourseWare
Now you don't need to pay those pesky uni fees for a university education. The prestigious MIT has released quite a few of their courses free to the public, with all the lecture notes, readings and everything available for download on their OpenCourseWare website. Some even have videos and audio recordings of all the lectures.
I've just downloaded a few biology lectures in mp3 format to play on my iPod, but you can choose from heaps of different areas like Aeronautics and Astronautics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Media Arts and Sciences and lots more.
I guess the only major drawback is you don't get a nifty piece of paper at the end of it all. Oh well, it's supposed to be all about learning anyway, isn't it? :P
