We need a nice stable server running Apache 2.0 and someone to call to keep everything from going wrong and when everything does go wrong. And then we need to move every blogger in Philly over from Blogspot to a supercool fresh WordPress install. This is my dream as the Philly WordPress Meetup organizer visiting the Philly Weblogger Meetup.
Yes, that would be keen.
When it comes to software, a group of us usually get together to purchase it. If we all pitch in to pay, is it stealing?
When it comes to music, we like to share. I used to love the old days of Napster because you could find almost everything. We made up a party game using old TV theme songs and downloaded a few CDs worth. The rules of the game were easy: When it was your turn, you could earn three points. One for naming the show, one for naming a character or actor, and one for acting out a scene from the show. It was a simple game but lasted for hours and hours because we had so much fun.
I'm not a pirate. I have overstayed my welcome with WinRAR before...darned evaluation versions, but by and large I'm a good boy. I think people get what's coming to them, but I also think that parents shouldn't be so irresponsible as to let their kids online unguarded, that's about the only good thing about AOL, it has it's parental controls, but it is overpriced, even with the exclusive content, which is mediocre at best. I have to admit that I've not bought any music over the internet, I would rather buy a CD (and let's face it they're note expensive with CDwow and Amazon on the scene), and it all boils down to copy protection. Restrict the masses to stop the few.
Phill - it's an FFAF bank-holiday bonanza at blackheart.
