I hope so.  Growing old with Open Source would be good, but...

I've no idea; I've never seen the Wedding Singer.  I watch movies
periodically (mostly sci-fi, horror, or documentaries) and gave up TV
years ago.

We were having a couple beers and talking about the stuff that I'm
into.  He picked it up and ran with some of the ideas.  It wasn't mean
to be disrepectful in any way.

I'll pull up the gmane thread and see what the folks at Digital
Copyright Canada think.  If there's a conflict, then I suppose we can
take the files down and hopefully rework the music.

Murphy hates me.  I swear it.  >:(
