Where Youtube is going
Music is a lot different than movies. I think most consumers listen to tracks before they buy them, or at least listen to the one track getting market exposure. There are tons of outlets designed to do that. There isn't really any way to compare that to movies. So if I buy an album I cannot play it for an audience without the explicit consent of the publisher? What type of audience are you talking about? You can't fill a concert hall and then play someone else's music.

I haven't heard anything in the business world to back that up. These companies are hugely successful.

There is more to it than that, obviously. If you pop a tire, or simply lose control, you are going to make a huge mess of the roadway. Who do you think pays for those roads? Who is going to pay for the cleanup crew to come scrape your carcass off the road? You can go test your car on racetracks if you want, but the freeway is not your personal playground.

Nelson Mandela, dead at 95
Ever since Nixon sweated like a stuck pig on national TV in the 1960 debate, I'm pretty sure every President has a team of consultants getting them dressed.

That's not going to work. If you contest the ticket, you sometimes get out of it just by showing up to court, since the officer won't show unless it is serious. If you want to argue the case, you need to have specifics about that ticket, they don't care about your history. Were you tagged with radar or that light gun thing? You were going over the speed limit, so I'm not sure what your case is. I'd recommend paying the fine, take the online class, and moving on with your life. It will take less time and it's an easy process. Contesting it still means you might end up paying more in court fees and still have to deal with the infraction afterwards, if you are found guilty.

The NFL 2013 Thread
I don't mean to upset you Volourn. I understand that on many other websites people talk smack about sports and throw around insults. That's just not the way the majority of posters conduct themselves here. There is more casual observations and polite discourse.

Meanwhile in London: Beheading in broad daylight
You have two statements there: "There is little to nothing wrong with our world" - Nobody is claiming that. "It's better than ever" - It quite clearly is. These statements do not need to be connected.

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
I always enjoyed the Vegas CSI, but Miami looked terrible fromt he start and I never even bothered with New York.

What are you playing now?
I'm really enjoying Assassin's Creed 3. I remember people complaining about there not being enough to do on the frontier, but I'm having a blast running around. Although I fall out of tree a lot. Like I've died more falling out of trees than doing anything else. In fact it's not even close, I've died once from a wolf, twice in fights, and a dozen times tumbling through branches.

Weird News Stories
Junior High's, or Middle Schools, exist in most of the US, but I guess they only have them in certain provinces in Canada. Even in the US there are still many elementary schools that go k-8, but they are typically magnets or offer something unique. What is grade 13?

Are you referring to the death of an icon, or the classy response by Cultist?
