Good point

Good point, Geek. I actually never even considered a blog-silence to coincide with the Internet Radio Day of Silence, and I was simply too busy to report on it the way I wanted to today, but I do think the CARP ruling is important information. The RIAA and major media is trying to kill internet radio with these rules, so that they control the only choices you have online, just like they do with broadcast radio. (How many stations do Viacom and Clear Channel own now? How many truly independent radio stations are left? Have these media giants struck their own deals with the RIAA to avoid paying the CARP fees so they can continue webcasting while their competition closes up shop?)

Think about it, learn about it, pay attention to it, and then do something about it!

And yes, Geek there are some others writing about it.

    Sites Blocked by Internet Filtering Programs This is actually very interesting research into what sites are being blocked by this sort of software. And it should give pause to the typical knee-jerk demands to have it installed everywhere where there might possibly be a kid. Unless of course, you attend the kindergarten in Estonia who’s…

    Yeah I had to take the referrer script down again. At least now I know why the results keep stretching the table width to ridiculous proportions. If a website does not specify a page name, the script prints out the entire URL. Since there’s no space in the URL the table doesn’t try to wrap…

    Shannon made an interesting point in the comments on that last post about IT outsourcing: “What gets me more is that you have to have patience with your co-workers as they repeat the same mistakes again and again (like trying to send an email with a 15mb attachment).
