Crippling The MP3
Crippling The MP3
"A new version of MP3 - the digital music format that kicked off the online music sharing revolution - is being developed that will include technology to stop unauthorised copying and sharing.
"The two companies that own the patents covering MP3, Thomson and Fraunhofer, are working on a new version that will incorporate so-called digital right management (DRM) technology.
"DRM can be used in conjunction with software and hardware players to limit the number of copies of a music file a user can make, or to prevent forwarding. As yet, however, it is unclear how the new protection system will work."

Mad Mad House
*sigh* All right, this "reality show" thing has now officially gotten out of hand. However, I do have to admit that I am glad that I don't have cable....because I know that I'm dumb enough to fall for a show like this. Hell, I can't stop watching "The Apprentice." Next on "Whoring and Pimping Your Lifestyle"...
Mad Mad House
"WELCOME TO OUR HOUSE!
"People who live in different worlds have to live in the same house.
"Did you know that there are practicing vampires in the United States? Or that the Wiccan religion is sometimes called "witchcraft"? And why, exactly, do nudists like being naked?
"SCI FI invites you to experience life around the edges, in the colliding worlds of its newest alternative-reality series, Mad Mad House.
"Five practitioners of "alternative lifestyles" — a Wiccan, a Naturist, a Modern Primitive, a Voodoo Priestess and a real-life Vampire (known collectively as the Alts) — rule the roost. Meanwhile, 10 ordinary folks move into the House as the Alts' Guests — and compete against one another for the $100,000 jackpot.
"Our Guests will live out a Survivor meets The Real World meets The Osbournes lifestyle — and try to get along living under one roof together. The eclectic and unpredictable Alts will challenge them, judge them and eliminate them one by one — ultimately deciding which Guest is most fit for life in the Mad Mad House."

"I do NOT hate the Reptilians. They are not Evil. It is in their nature to act as they do. This group and my websites are NOT about spreading hatred for the Reptilians. They are about bringing awareness that the Reptilians exist. Reptilians and Global Elite insiders are welcome to join this group. :)"
