schestowitzA few days ago i made it possible again to open new accounts (source of spam, hence I recently experimented with disabling that), so if anything the site should be more permissive, not restrictive. I think that your IP/username/content might not be viewed favourably by Mollom (centralised service based on many sites) and if I disable Mollion the site would quickly be drowned by spam (attempt every minute and an attempt to create new accountsJun 08 12:40

If you need such feature, turn on your phone and use them from there but don't allow them to be "always on" as in a car. This simply facilitates tracking a person and compromises their privacy.

schestowitz"Well, vinyl supposedly sounds a lot better. Of course, it's fairly inconvenient to a person who is accustomed to keeping his music with him at all times (on a 64GB microSD card in my cell phone). If I went the vinyl route, I would make sure to digitize that album as quickly as possible (ie: before scratches and dust become a problem) and make sure to do it in the FLAC format."Jun 11 06:22
schestowitz"I haven't looked at the actual format the turntable digitizes it to; she takes care of that. But I like that we can hit up antique malls/consignment stores and snatch up some really good vinyl for our collection and pretty quickly have it on our music share."Jun 11 06:22

Obviously, you have a strong (and possibly misplaced) distaste for Microsoft and its products, but as long as there is a valid reason for it, I don't see why you would deserve to be ridiculed in any way. The people on USENET though are not as well-spoken as you are and absolutely avoid providing evidenceJun 11 19:19
