The path of a bullet is parabolic. You ain’t hitting shit with that math, yo.

The Amazon near me has a “Just Fuck Off” policy. They redecorated the old Toys R Us building a few years ago and then never bothered to open the store.

I’m imagining that the first output didn’t cover everything they wanted so they tweaked it and pasted the results together and fucked it up.

Nah, Google was a thing by the time Napster was around. If you were hip enough to know about one you probably knew about the other. You’d get an idea by figuring out what genre the artist was, reading reviews, just seeing where discussion was taking place. Not by listening to it, you’d have to queue it up to download and wait while hoping your source didn’t go offline before it downloaded. And yes, even at 56k you could load and read text while downloading MP3s, it was just slow.

Once you found the song and started downloading it you had plenty of time to browse the rest of the library of the person you were downloading from. That could lead to finding stuff you never heard of that you would like. The only catch was that you couldn’t listen to it immediately, but you could Google what you found to get an idea of what it was and go from there.

Over 20 years ago, the internet was revolutionized through free music file sharing. Today, Napster’s legacy lives on through websites that rip YouTube’s audio.

Is this guy a boomer or a zoomer? It sure seems like he doesn’t know that what made Napster great wasn’t really the downloading so much as how it facilitated discovering new music. Looking through other people’s collections while the thing you came for downloaded was amazing.

Edit: I looked it up, Zoomer

Dude’s delusional thinking he’s going to crush Mayo Clinic while his employees pass COVID back and forth. Straight goofball thinking.

Ok, sure, but what about hyperloop IN SPACE!

I’ll be happy to discuss my brilliant new invention with anyone who still has money left over from this project.

This logic is equivalent to a bank saying, “It’s not our fault your money got stolen; you should have had a better lock on your front door.”

Isn’t that exactly what the bank would tell you if someone stole your personal info from your home and used it to empty your account?

This author is a dumbass.
