Thanks for all of your kind words of wisdom, everyone.

Hope you'll have everything resolved some time in the near future :]

People still use optical discs?

Yes....

[undetz]

Of course we do.

[buchno]

Ok, to rip movies, but what else...?

I haven't used mine even once since I bought my new desktop, and that was in February. I shouldn't even have bought an optical drive, had I thought about it (and my laptop doesn't have one).

Mine makes an excellent cup holder.

Rip CDs? Install software? Burn music onto CDs (b/c I don't want to listen to shitty radio music)?

Torrents and MP3 players solved all of those problems for me.


Anyway, I can't believe how hard it is to find a decent language exchange partner. They seem to last like a week before they stop contacting you. It's so damn annoying.

Rip CDs: The only reason I can think of is if people still insist on buying physical CD:s in order to get a "lossless" copy of the album (and who don't want to torrent).
Install software: I guess it applies to people who have a terrible connection, so they'd rather (for example) install Starcraft 2 from the disc than download the 7 GB:s from Blizzard's site.
Burn music onto CDs: I suppose it applies to people who don't have speakers for their computers.

Nonetheless, these are simply lifestyle choices and we do as we wish.
Like hating Nickelback sorta speak.

I don't get why Nickelback is the target for such an immense amount of hatred. Aren't there much worse things on the planet to hate more...?
...or does the internet just have lots of energy to dispose in the form of hatred, and Nickelback happened to receive it out of pure chance...?

Currently studying to be the best wingman there ever was. To catch women is my real test; to get my buddies laid is my cause. Therefore, I must be able to effortlessly converse on a woman's level. This means I must sacrifice some of my manhood and watch the Twilight saga.

I'm going to be doing the lord's work.

[kurandoinu]

Oh ow ow ow. Must have slept weird because I've woken up with such a bad pain in my shoulder :<

Why do people "hate" Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black? Because they don't like them and what they do.

I don't mind nickelback, but I can't praise him for anything either.

[1000mAh]

[failboat]

1. I still buy CDs because I want a legal copy of the music I like without all the DRM shit. Plus I like collecting CDs.

2. Not every piece of software can be bought online.

3. The car I often take doesn't have an AUX input.

I have a general dislike of Nickelback, but I do own an album or two.

I don't know why, but it feels like I'm talking to my father :P

2. Not every piece of software can be bought online.

What software...?

3. The car I often take doesn't have an AUX input.

Ok, that's a good reason: If you're using old gadgets which don't support new newer technology.
