Price discrimination comes to restaurants

Oh, so you're into Radiohead too... ;)

I am, actually. :)

The thing I just don't get is that you (LostKause) have all kinds of justifications for downloading music illegally which range from "the record companies suck" to "the music might suck" to "I am an upstanding citizen" which have absolutely nothing to do with the two relevant issues:
a) Is it legal? Clearly no.
b) Is it wrong? YMMV, but willfully breaking the law is wrong the vast, vast majority of the time.

You are right, Andy. I guess I need to get with the new program.

(Kind of tired of this conversation, but it's all about me, so I am forced to stay involved.)

Well, for full disclosure, I have downloaded music illegally and kept it. (Though I stopped about 5 years ago.) I just had no delusions about the fact that I was stealing.

Andy? You were a thief! lol

I am going to look for new ways to preview my music from now on, legally. I didn't know that it was so taboo. Way to go, Morality Squad! :)

Can my story arc be complete now?

I think it's interesting that you still consider it a morality issue.

I think it's scary that if it is a morality thing to you, you're letting other's opinions change your morals.

Next, on a very special episode of Full House, Travis gets a valuable life lesson.

Let's go back to arguing about whether S:TE is a roller coaster or whether an over banked turn is an inversion.

Jesse and the Rippers worked really hard on that CD that you downloaded illegally from them, Travis. ;)

I miss the days where you could still download music for free... now everything has a lot of viruses and stuff!

In all honesty, if you get a virus from an MP3 - you're doing it wrong.

Now, Travis, please PM me your email address. I have a present for you.

Is it a summons?

Do you work for the RIAA? :)

My 2 cents.

LOL. That, or I'm sending him a coupon for FlashPass. :)

Thanks Josh.

Btw, getting a virus on a mac is very rare. When I had a virus-susceptible computer, I just scanned the file before I opened it. These days, it's pretty difficult to get a virus using any computer. You almost have to WANT a virus, and get it on purpose.

And yet way too many people still get them. Or maybe I just know too many stupid people who can't figure out "Your computer might be infected, click here to run a free scan" is something they should most definitely not click on.

Mac viruses are mostly hard to get just because not all that many have been created. It'll likely remain that way until Apple figures out how to grab a larger share of the market.

Yeah, one of my co-workers did exactly that. TWICE. Even though after the first time I told him a) it's just a fake web browser pop-up designed to look like a Windows alert, and b) you're on a Mac, and (for all intents and purposes) there aren't any Mac viruses to worry about. Thank God he *was* on a Mac though, because he tried to run the executable both times he did this. He only came to get me to ask why the exe wouldn't run!

My brother, on the other hand, *did* have a PC, fell for the same trick, and basically our only solution to get 100% clean (after removing the drive and trying various spyware/virus scans from another machine) was to reformat the hard drive.

Yeah my mom did the same thing. I love my Mac.

But on the bright side, when do you get those viruses, you can afford to buy the best PC repair guy in the world with all the money you'll be getting in a few weeks from Nigeria.

I think someone needs to keep an eye on LK in the produce section of the supermarket. I have the feeling he's one of those grape pilferers too.
