ad trackers on a web site, resulting in really fast load times.
For example, a typical media site will require 10-15 trackers
(you know, those URLs that track your activities so they can
target you better). Ghostery kills them.

I end up having to convert them back to MPG to burn to DVD or VCD
which is a big drag. Is there any reason why people prefer AVI instead
of the good 'ol MPG format? Is it the size, compression ratio,
quality, or other factors?

2004/2/6 [Computer/SW/P2P] UID:12117 Activity:kinda low | 2/5 So I've been trying to download stuff on Kazaa and I'm very impressed
at how the record industry is fighting back by uploading fake music
files. 95% of the stuff I download now are bogus. I'm very very
impressed. At any rate, what are some other non-sucking p2p programs
I could use? Thanks.

they offer to give you a download of the CDs you bought in say 65kbit
mp3, 128kbit mp3, 256kbit mp3 and FLAC. That way you are saved the
trouble of ripping the CD and getting the right ID3 tags, you also get
to listen to the music immediately. As a further extension, you could
have them hold onto your physical CD for a while and only ship you discs
