Death to all major labels. They're all 4080 to me. Major label execs screw artists and consumers and should have their cocaine, hookers, and convertibles taken away from them. I will

On the subject of poker, there are several poker sites online that allow users to play for play money instead of real money. You have to download software so I couldn't do it at the office on a WindowsXP machine without bribing the tech support people, but it wouldn't take much to arrange a weekend game of hold'em among FB denizens.
