I’m pretty sure that in previous posts I’ve mentioned that the RIAA has always been wrong about what technological disruptions do to their business. They wanted to kill LPs because they thought no one would go see live performances. They wanted to quash AM radio for fear no one would by LPs. They wanted to kill the cassette tape because it would allow piracy of LPs. Currently they want to prevent the existence of a Tivo-like device for digital radio.

….that my wife, who hates the idea of Linux on her computer, told me that when her computer dies, rather than have Windows Vista on her computer she wants me to install Linux on the computer for her. That’s right, she’d rather have Linux on her computer than the next version of Windows. Why? First of all, she’s heard all the problems of how Vista doesn’t have any drivers for any hardware. She’s also heard about how they’re already getting virii and other exploits and even Forbes recently recommended not updating because of the digital restrictions management and how that messes up your system. Specifically it causes your CPU to use up cycles trying to make sure you aren’t doing anything disapproved of.

Finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 - I was waiting to make sure there weren’t any show-stopper bugs as there were in the previous version. So far no one seems to have found any problems. They didn’t do too many cosmetic changes because I can’t really tell what’s changed. I’ll have to review the changelog again. So far the BEST change is that “General” is not automatically selected as a category. It was annoying to uncheck that EVERY time!

I love you darling. It’s been great so far and I look forward to even more V’s Days with you.

check out my carpet, for example. This freaked/grossed out my wife.
