Paran
MuchMusic is awesome.  I've emailed them congratulating them on such a good
music channel.  It even seems like they have put such a threat on MTV thatMTV
is now trying to show more videos.  It still sucks though because they show
the
same ones over and over and have the same old top 10 rap videos and stuff
ike
that.  The only problem i have with Much Music is that it goes off over here
at
10pm and the porn channel comes on.  I asked them to move Electric Circus
ack
to about 9pm so i can watch it :).  I know alot of other people want to see
t
too.

What i meant was, when you get older you start getting these headaches from
extreme lenghthy times of loud music as a teenager and you start craving
soothing migrane reducing music like classical and jazz.  I like Jazz and
Classical music, listen to it every once in awhile.  Just so you don't turn
into one of those stereotypical adults be careful with the loud music.  I'm
not
so i'll prolly become one of those stereotypical adults.

They just played ourRadio Stations yearly festival and theygot a good

 I like them too, wish i could have seen them but i wasn't able to dish out
0
dollars for all the bands.  most of them sucked but some were pretty decent.
The bands that played were Rocket From The Crypt, Foo Fighters, Bad Religion,
The Fix, Save Ferris, and some others and some local bands.  not bad for a

If the subject resorts to form letters to reply in a pseudo-intelligent
manner, as he has done, then he is obviously scared into a frenzy, trying
to save face by using the intellectual prowess of others. He is incapable
of independent thought, and is obviously exhibiting signs of paranoia, an
inability of behaving properly in any social environment, and severe case
of social depravation and cognitive impotence. Adolescence is a hard time
for children, and frequently they lash out out of frustration due to lack
of acceptance in their peer groups, and find it hard to feel that anyone
has the ability to understand them, much less like them and they try to
alienate those around them (subconsiously) to attract attention at which
they are the focus of the commotion. A classic 'boy who called wolf'
scenario. Point.
Five point to none. I fear what reaction this may bring from him, as the
truth is often hard for adolescents to accept.

If you use an unregistered version of NeoBook, and you sell the product,
you have violated copyright laws. While as a crime the penalty is mild,
**IT IS A LICENSE FOR THE COPYRIGHT OWNER TO SUE YOU INTO SLAVERY.**
You can use unregistered items for a limited time (read docs for
details; 10 days, 14 days, and 30 days are common limits), then you must
register the product to continue use. Some may be used personally, but
must be registered for commercial use. ALL that I have seen require
registration and use of the registered version for commercial RELEASES.
aS THIS MEANS YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE OF CREATING THE PRODUCT
