Sure it was, in America at least. I think I got my first PC that could burn disks in like 1998 and it was a mass marketed Compaq from Circuit City. Napster showed up the next year and CD burning exploded. Napster was dead by 2001.

When people tell me electric cars will never see mass adoption, I'll remember this.

I just want to say I don't see why this is getting down voted, this is nostupidquestions, and on top of that, this one is interesting and I'm excited to see peoples insight.

I did the same thing with Vizio and it eventually would randomly turn off, or sound wouldn't work or something, you'd call support and they'd tell you that you have to update it. It doesn't make any sense, but I did it and it would work find for awhile again. Thr tinfoil hat in me says they do that to get whatever info they have stored on you.

This may be the most amazing comment in the history of the internet

First season isn't bad, it's a little more grounded in reality. As a person who watched it when it premiered, it was something new and wild, but it's definitely tamer, and also as someone mentioned, does not have the craziness of Danny Devito.

Not sure why you're getting shit on. Actually, I do know. Many people think everyone is as tech savvy as they are. It would blow many people's minds they could install an operating system. Their computer comes with it like their iPhone comes with iOS. A lot of people just can't figure things out for themselves. They can google it, but then will see a bunch of crazy commands to copy and paste. And there's a good chance that if they do ask for some help. People will tell them their dumb and should be able to figure things out on their own and that linux is too much for them.

Also, this is from a guy who can use Linux at an average level.

You have to work to get a 350. I've been selling cars a long time and seen only a couple go that low. We always say on scores like that we couldn't get financed on a dollar with 4 quarters down.

Napster was reparations for Soul Asylums Strangers With Candy album.

The other side if that is why should I tip you for putting cookies in a box. Or putting my take out food in a bag. Why should I pay 20 percent added on top because their manager doesn't want to pay them and instead puts the expectation on me the customer.

Like, I get it for if you are serving me food, refilling my drinks etc, but these people need to get real.
