I realized one reason this could never work for me is that there are literally several hundred artists whose music I enjoy enough to at least check out regularly...and quite probably at least one hundred whose music I pretty much will obtain unheard. I can't even imagine trying to construct criteria to automatically filter all that. Of course, artist's names are only one way to do that...but also the most reliable. I've found, for instance, that taste engines never seem to work well for me. For example: I like a whole lot of '90s-era American indie rock - and so (I think I've mentioned this), given that data, every one of those taste engines has claimed I should like Sebadoh. But Sebadoh alternately bores or annoys me. On the other hand, I probably would download any torrent containing the phrase "gored by unicorns" anywhere.

From the second link you posted, I'd say that you are describing a sleeve anchor or expansion bolt/screw (maybe even a toggle bolt). Back in college, I worked as the warehouse/shipping manager for Hilti Fastening Systems (a company based in Liechtenstein), and these were common items that I dealt with daily, mostly for heavy construction. Not as interesting as the pneumatic nailing guns or powder actuated tools and accessories we sold, but fairly practical. We had types of fasteners that required pre-drilling concrete/masonry before insertion, were hammered into wood or dry-wall, or came with their own chemical adhesives which would need to set before being expanded into place. When the nail gun conversation came up a month or two ago, I almost added a few thoughts, but was too busy to get into then. There seemed to have been some concern mentioned about nail guns and powder actuated tools being used in a manner similiar to regular guns, but there are some problems with that: first, the safety mechanism needs to be compressed against a solid surface to fire a nail (it is possible to jam the safety for a single shot on the pneumatic tool and "free-flight" a nail, but it generally jams the advancing mechanism before the next nail); secondly, nails usually aren't very aero-dynamic, unlike a dart, and will not usually travel point-first any significant distance; thirdly, pneumatic tools need to be hooked to a compressed air source, so they are generally of limited mobility because they are linked by hoses to bulky air compressors (although, it does seem that Hilti now markets some compressed gas cartridge tools which would be much more portable, but probably less powerful); fourthly, the tools are generally only sold to licensed contractors who need to be trained and certified in the use of these tools; and fifthly, the tools cost more than many regular guns would usually be priced. They look impressive when misused in movies, but the real danger comes from people getting careless while handling them. Using an extra-high powered cartridge (black), I have fired three-inch nails into a one cubic-foot block of hardened industrial concrete, completely burying the nails past the head and making the block actually jump a couple of inches off the surface it was on. I have heard a story of one contractor in Pennsylvania who tried putting up shelving using loads that were too powerful for the materials he was fastening, and wound up shooting at least two nails through the shelving braces, through the wall being fastened to, and through the adjoining wall surface. The second of these nails went into the head of someone who wondered what had just made a small hole in the wall and went to take a closer look. These are really powerful tools and can be potentially deadly, but when I see them used like machine guns in some horror flick, I just have to say, "yeah, right." http://www.hilti.com/holcom/modules/prcat/prca_navigation.jsp?OID=-16970&fview=1 As long as I'm mentioning totally dead topics, my new(ish) kitten, Nicky, is a total catnip fiend at only 5 months old. So much for the theory of nip only having an effect on somewhat older cats... Later, Marc Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus's-flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.

My point exactly ... :-) To be serious, based on my limited knowledge of US construction work I was considering the possibility that the walls might be made from different materials that might not lend themselves to that approach. Perhaps there could exist a material into which screws could be screwed without the aid of an anchor, e.g. wood. Or you could use nails for everything. All houses in Germany seem to be constructed like they should last forever, whereas in the New Jersey suburbs (the area I'm most familiar with) houses seemed to be extremely light-weight and not meant to be used for more than 40-50 years. > My current house has plaster > walls Do you mean brick, mortar and plaster on top or really *just* plaster? > and everywhere something is hung, a wall "anchor" is behind it.
