Give me a break. How long are we going to hear about these old bullsh#t stereotypes? I agree with the guy from Raleigh. Besides those companies he mentioned, there is also SAS Institute in Research Triangle Park.

North Carolina gave the world Maya Angelou, Thomas Wolfe, Edward R. Murrow and Thelonious Monk. Not to mention countless others. But I guess you’re too stupid to probably even know who these people are.

Here’s some advice: Get some education, get some traveling under your belt (especially in some beautiful parts of the South), get a book and most importantly, get a life!

That sophormic B.S. about ignorant southerners gets old real fast. Grow up.

I travelled all around this world, but some of the most ignorant people concerning the southern United States has been people – from the United States. Go figure. The guy from Germany knows more about us, then you do. Pitty . . .

P.S. And I wasn’t even born here. I lived in Chicago for 13 years.

Asheville, NC

It is called home by Redhat, RedStorm Interactive, Epic Games, IBM and more. We most assuredly have internets and newspaper here. ;)</p> lol Raleigh (capital of NC) is often called Silicon Valley East.

Zune can't play back any "Plays 'For Sure" tracks you may have purchased! :(</p> At least iPhone can play back Apple’s DRM’d music from iTunes.

Call me crazy, but I have no issues with DRM. After downloading purchased music via iTunes I simply burn back them up on CD, and or convert them into a unlocked format like MP3. Boom! No more DRM.</p> Meh! Call me crazy, but I have no issues with DRM. After downloading purchased music via iTunes I simply burn back them up on CD, and or convert them into a unlocked format like MP3.

Nice cover art too. If something's too obscure to find at your local store, hit eBay or Amazon.</p> Or just boycott online music in general and buy DRM-free lossless CDs. Nice cover art too.
