Does anyone know why when you download music off Kazaa often the song, once downloaded, plays fine for about half a minute and then goes into all-out earblasting nothing noise? I figure it’s some sort of copyright protection something or other that has interfered with rips but I don’t know the specifics.

Kettricken got into a big fight at the dog park today. There is this large black poodleish dog (owned by a middle aged Russian couple) that has absolutely no manners whatsoever. The first day we ever met it, it leaped upon Kettrciken and knocked her flat but she was on the leash so I pulled her back when she would have fought. She has hated it since that day so whenever I see it coming I leave with Kettricken and Fitz. This time I was letting them run around off leash and the poodle came into the park before I saw it and Kettricken ran for it and tried to kick the shit out of it.
Of course, it has about 60 pounds on her so there was no chance. The poodle’s owner looked mildly surprised but did nothing to pull it back from Kettricken even though the poodle was on a leash. When it clamped its jaws completely over Kettricken’s back, I ran in and yanked her from its mouth and got bitten for my trouble.
Even so, the owner had no comment to make. I stood there for a while holding Kettricken, blood running all over my hand to drip on the ground, and the owner didn’t say a fucking thing. He just smirked.
He was probably getting some kind of stupid macho delight in his dog trying to beat up someone else’s dog. Slavs!
That pissed me off. It’s true, after all, it was my dog that started the fight, and it wasn’t a good idea to try to separate two fighting dogs manually and I will accept the consequences of my actions (I wasn’t going to sit there like the other guy and watch ithe stupid poodle eat Kettricken!) but the owner of the poodle (which is an obnoxious not-trained-at-all poodle which goes around and squashes flat all the other dogs it sees while its owners smile indulgently) should have at least TRIED to pull his dog away.
Even Fitz hates and growls at this poodle, and Fitz really likes all the other dogs he’s ever met.
Hold on… you didn’t get his name and address? Now I don’t believe in frivelous law suits, but irresponsable dog owners are one thing I cannot stand!
