Excellent question! The difference is that Radiohead is asking people to pay what they feel their latest album is worth. Everyone else in the history of music has asked you to pay a set price. So, we've got a few jokes going on here.

1) The "High Score Forum," originally designed to be a place where you list your highest score on the tournament mode of Nibbler, has become a place where you talk about how many strippers you've killed in a single evening, or how many girls the size of a Volkswagon you've awkwardly pawed. This is further strengthened by a thread about the amount paid for a Radiohead album, which is not a high score.

2) You'd think $0 wouldn't be the greatest amount paid, but it probably will be, because everyone on here engages in rampant P2P use, or at least did before Comcast turned off the peer to peer tap, like they did for me. At the current rate of their network traffic shaping and port elimination, I expect to be down to netstat and Gopher by the end of the week. For this I pay $62 a month with taxes!

3) ... Actually, that's pretty much it. So, only two things going on.
