I'm so frustrated and disappointed by this. The album is actually neat. I like the music a lot. It's nicely designed and had all the lyrics and photos of the band, as well as a CD and a DVD... the CD full of music, and the DVD has Band interviews, live concert footage of a bunch of their songs, and a music video. You feel like you're getting your moneys worth. If anything is going to encourage people to buy and own their own music, it's packaging it like this. But stopping copying... that's just terrible. Does anybody even use a walkman any more? It's cutting off their nose to spite their face. It's penalizing the people that do buy CDs, and giving even more of a reason for those that download it to continue doing so. It's definitely going to make me think twice before buying another album, if the only time I'll be able to listen to it is when I'm at home in my room. I'm not going in to my room just to listen to Duran Duran. I'm most definitely not buying something that I see the "Sony Copyright Protection" logo on, since I'll probably never get the chance to listen to it anyway. Furthermore, the software on the CD crashes my PC, and the DVD isn't playable on my PC DVD player! My PC hasn't crashed in two years! So, what, I pay for an album, I can't listen to the music or watch the DVD, and it crashes my PC? I'm furious. I mean, I bought the freakin' thing. I'm delighted at the quality of the contents. But man, the copyright protection has infuriated me beyond the point of belief.

iTunes and Windows Media Player, and the software that came with my Creative Zen. I don't have anything vaguely illegal sounding to use on it. I am now proceeding to download the offending tracks on eMule. I'm so pissed off. I mean, not allowing tracks to be sent to an MP3 player, that's DEFINITELY not helping Music Piracy. And what pisses me off more is that Simon LeBon is probably sitting in a converted Ice Cream van behind his house, watching with beady eyes and taking the details of every person that downloads it.

ArGHhHghh!!! According to Duran Duran's FAQ... Why does Nick Rhodes wear so much makeup? It boosts his confidence and makes him look younger. How do I copy the tracks to my portable device? To copy a track to your portable device, you must have the OpenMG Jukebox or SonicStage software that came with your Sony portable device installed on your computer. Once you install the "MUSIC PLAYER" software on this disc, then you can use "MUSIC PLAYER" to send tracks to your portable device through OpenMG Jukebox or SonicStage. How do I put these tracks on my iPod or Nomad MP3 player? Currently, the software on this disc in only compatible with portable devices that support the current version of OpenMagicGate. If you are running the following software, you will need to upgrade in order to use "MUSIC PLAYER". OpenMG Jukebox Software Version 2.2 (and lower) SonicStage Version 1.0.06 (and lower) What the hell? I have a Creative Zen, probably one of the most popular MP3 players on the market, and it didn't come with any software that I'm aware of other than the creative crap. Does this mean I can't legally put the tracks on it? 'Cause I'm raging. Oooh how I rage. Increasing my rage further: can't even find their fucking retarded music player shit fuck download on their cocksuckering site.

Exactly! I'm not going to buy every new album I get twice, one for my CD player and one for my MP3 player. That's ridiculous!

I don't want to download the album online because a) I already have it I'm on dial up c) I want a CD collection when I'm old and creaky, not an MP3 collection.

So it's dark outside... very dark because there's a cloudy sky, no moon, and I live in the middle of the country. When all the curtains in the house are closed, there's no light in the yard at all and for all the world you could be standing on the edge of infinity, or two inches away from a brick wall, and you couldn't tell the difference because it's too dark to see anything anyway. I thought I heard the cat outside, so I opened the door and stood outside just far enough for her to be able to see me while I called out to her. It was highly unpleasant, because it was raining. Still, I didn't want to venture any further into the rainy, pitch-black yard, so I stayed close to the door. The cat never came, and I went back inside, dripping wet. After this, I thought that, due to the weather conditions and all, it might be an idea to turn on the yardlamp, so I went into the back room that doesn't-have-a-name, and fiddled around with switches until the yard light came on. I took one last look outside to see if the yard was flooded, you know, because of the heavy rain. Well, it wasn't bloody raining at all. My little brother had left the hose running that evening, and the hose had a leak, and it was spraying water into the air just outside the door. And I'd stood exactly in the spot where it was falling, thinking it was rain. I think I might be a genius.

Christopher Walken is damn awesome. He's so deliciously evil and evil, and evil. He stresses all the wrong syllables and parts of sentences, and yet he makes it sound fashionable. I saw A View to a Kill last night, and Max Zorin is my favourite character. Max Zorin, and The Golden Gate bridge. When I grow up, I want to be just like Max Zorin: evil. I also want to fight atop the Golden Gate bridge with an ax and a blimp. Only I'll win. Oh, and also, I will destroy Silicon Valley. Well, what's left of it, at least. I'll probably go over to India to destroy the other half. Oh man, this is gonna rock!!!

More! More Power!

Jay Mohr's impersonation of Christopher Walken is probably the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. "Your dog... was in here a moment ago... I couldn't help noticing... your dog has no tail..."

You know what's amazing? Being for for unionizing, is the exact same as being against against unionizing... I find that fascinating, and this is why the English language is far better than say, French.

What are you, ten? I understand Trep blurs the lines between what's acceptable and what's not acceptable in his ongoing crusade to involve me in threads in some kind of a sexual manner, but even at that age you should have some ideas of your own.

Walter, agreed! I thought that only the other day. It made me think... wouldn't he make an hilarious, sinister Willy Wonka? ha ha ha! Then I laughed for a while and made a sandwich.

Jizmonkey, go fuck yourself. Trep, can't you do this shit with Chris or Jake instead? I'm sure they'd find it as fascinating as I do. Only they might not be bored of it yet.

If that's what you think, then you don't know me very well at all.

Aw, crap. I was checking these forums at work and I saw this, and I thought of a -I swear to God- really funny and witty reply, but I didn't want to log in from work so I waited until I got home, and now I can't remember what it was. It was something along the lines of 'I got a fever... for you' except far wittier and decidedly more subtle. Oh, and also, not as creepy. Speaking of stupid work, today a French guy that spoke almost perfect english came to buy a PC and I swear to God, he had this underlying, psychopathic, insane, vicious quality about him, and I was absolutely petrified of him. I have never been more scared to tell anybody their credit had been declined in my life. I can't decide whether the fact he reminded me of Max Zorin made things better or worse. Chris, I hope you get better soon.

> Give Trep pictures of Chris to vent his obviously pent-up sexual frustration on.

Definitely comedy. Even in A View to a Kill, which is the only movie of his I've seen recently, he has a couple of really funny moments which I guess a lot of people don't pick up on because he's evil... on the other hand, I thought it was hilarious when I stepped on a bunch of drawing pins last week, so my opinion is probably not all that great on the matter. One thing that really annoyed me about that movie was Tanya Goddamn Roberts. Jesus Christ, she sounds like she has an eternal sore throat. How the hell did she ever past screen tests? All that "Jameeees! Jameeees!" didn't help either. Ahhh! Damn girl! Why doesn't he just leave her in the burning elevator in City Hall???! Why doesn't he shoot her in the face with her fucking Salt Capsules?!? Why doesn't he leave her drown in the mines??!? Why doesn't he let her fall off the Golden Gate bridge?!? Why doesn't he let Christopher Walken ax her dumb blonde head off?! Dumb stupid screechy blonde bitch bitch whore.

Lai: agreed, I find his accent very appealing. I can't understand why he'd be puzzled about his rep... I mean, he plays psychopaths quite frequently. Anyway, back to his accent... It seems part American, part English? He just has an odd way of stressing his words and sentences, and a weird way of stringing his sentences together... like he sometimes drops punctuation and merges parts of sentences together. Hard to describe.

It tastes like the inside of Malteasers. It's good stuff. Especially when he breaks the seal and it blows up in his face! Ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA hee HA HA HA hee hee Ha ha haHAHA! Man, I haven't updated the Church of Tim Williams in AGES. God bless those guys at Planet Moon!

Uh excuse me? Blah blah blah blah Jew blah blah blah blah blah my head hurts blah blah blah big word blah blah Tim Schafer blah blah Psychonauts blah blah REALLY BIG word blah blah blah Fronkonsteen blah.

... Everybody was doing it. I just wanted to be popular....

Did he kill himself? I don't know, ordinarily I would say 'yes', because I am one of those people that has a problem saying 'no' to things. It's an actual problem, it's not funny, and I have to take medication for it. But Courtney Love is such a psychopath. Or was. Didn't she commit suicide or something? Or did that fail? You would think she would be a dab hand at killing people by now. At school, we are taught about mental health and how you can never tell whether a person is suicidal... they might act completely happy and normal! Well, I say this: HOW VERY CONVENIENT that they should say that, when Kurt didn't act suicidal before his death! I mean, besides all the suicidal... I mean, you know, stuff. Anyway, I believe they are in league with Courtney Love in trying to cover up the fact that SHE MURDERED KURT COBAIN. HMMMMM!

But since neither of those guys have ever shaken hands with Chris Remo, I guess they're all crap!!
