Yea, with my 2nd Gen iPod that's still going, I sure can't see your point.
Everyone I know who has bought an iPod from 1st Gen to Nano and iPod Video has had great luck with them. I have 3 right now, the 2nd Gen 20 GB, iPod Nano and a new 60 GB Video.
Show me one that is better from a connectivity and reliability standpoint, oh and ogg support doesn't win the connectivity arguement.

Well, what about websites that send you ads for services or singles based on your geographical location? I don't opt into telling Fark.com or other sites I'm from Portland OR and they toss me animated ads for stores, chicks and other things in the Portland Metro area. How does this advertising fit into your No, never, I didn't opt in stance?
The funny thing is, the ID people are pointing to the easiest thing for science to prove in regards to a creation, geology and biology. If the ID types were smart, they'd point to all the questions there are with the creation of the Universe, like what the hell happened after the Big Bang, how the hell did something as convoluted as quantum entanglement come to be...and go Clockwork Universe! There is a God!
But no, they want an interactive God and they don't want to learn physics...
About 10 years ago I was taking a CAD/CAM class and the instructor was one of these literal Bible folks, thought the world was 6000 years old and one day he said something about that. So I went home, got a chart of radioactive decay and brought it to class. Next day during a break, I asked him if he believed in the presence of radioactive Radon gas on Earth, he said, "of course I do", I pulled out the chart, said," well Radon comes from the decay of Uranium after around 4.5 billion years, therefore, the Earth is that old." He turned around and never ever mentioned his theories again.
"I would think they would have to replace the turbines a lot more often than they would have to replace rivets or bolts."
No, jet turbines are one of the most reliable systems on an aircraft as long as they are maintained properly and are up to date jet turbines. The electronics packages are the most maintaince intensive systems on aircraft. The "rivets and bolts" aren't a system, that's like comparing the screws in your case to the hard disk or the cpu.
Nothing is free, so while we have spinning systems for the hard disks which can cause failures, what do we give up when we go to solid state storage?
There is a record of cannibalism in the Aztec, Maya, Tlaxcalan, Tepeacans, Otomis and Cholulas, During Cortes's campaign in the fall of 1520 to the summer of 1521 cannibalism was carried out by the Indians allies of Cortes and the Triple Alliance.
There are tons of examples of bad engineering we can pull up as arguements for and against a technology.
But the Deathstars were years ago and generations ago for hard disks, I had a 14GB Deathstar...what, 7 years ago?
As for "anything that is moving at 10,000+ RPM is prone to failure", that's not true, jet turbines spin at very high speeds and are very reliable in the current generation models, something like.07 failures per 100,000 hours of operation. The speed something spins has no bearing on it's reliability, high speed systems can be very reliable, and most of your desktop hard disks are spinning at 5400 to 7200 RPM with laptops at 4200-5400 RPM
Hell, I don't even need to use Bittorrent to fill drives.

Yes the Crusades would have happened without organized religion, the Mongol Hordes weren't focused by religion, nor were the Roman conquests of Western Europe and North Africa focused by religion.
The Greeks, Persians and Romans could read and think critically and they started massive wars on larger scales than the Crusades without religion to aim them.
I don't think that you need to get people to fight for you because of religion or fear. Tribalism, Nationalism and a sense of entitlement to the lands can focus a people much more easily than religion. It's simple and easy today to go - "Look religion is bad the Crusades!" But that's not accurate, the Crusades were not so much about Christianity vs. Islam, it was more about a European response to a territorial threat by organizations that happened to be Muslim. If the Moors had been Christian, there would have been a war, if the Europeans had been Hindu and the Middle East Jewish, there would have been a war.
My Bible doesn't profess any Adams and Eves since I don't have a Bible. I'm not religious in the least. If pushed I'd say I am a Classical Deist along the Clockmaker line. If there is a God, it created the Universe, then went off to read some books and hasn't looked back to see what is going on. God is the Clockmaker - the clockmaker does not do anything other than make the clock, wind it up, and let it run.
Religions form important social systems that have kept bad things from happening over the centuries. Dietary laws kept disease out of the ghettos during the plagues in Western and Central Europe. Laws agains inbreeding kept small populations from having genetic degradation from inbreeding. When we look at religions for thier social systems, they have served well in the past and present.
About 12 years ago as I struggled with College while having chemotherapy for Cancer, I was arguing with my Grandmother who went to an engineering college in 1949-50 about my grades (low Bs and some Cs), she was complaning I got a C+ in Physics when she could get an A. I said, but Grandma, there wasn't as much Physics in 1950 as there is now...
She didn't like that answer, but it is true in a way.
Back then Physics and other sciences were far more open to discovery than the sciences are today while we refine the details rather than discovering broad things.
I'm from the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, and it's pretty clear from a historical point of view that the Sioux came from Wisconson and Minnesota around 1700 and likely didn't see the "sacred" Black Hills until 1770 or so, however that doesn't stop the folks from claiming they were formed in the Black Hills and that anything else is a lie.
Likewise, the mess with Kennewick Man stems from this defense of religion over science by the Federal Government.
Well, on the issue of Humans getting to North America, there is a huge margin as to when they got here. The Clovis points are the oldest flint tools associated with the North American Clovis culture. They date to the Paleo-Indian period around 13,500 years ago. Some archaeologists have found similarities between the Solutean in what is now the south of France and the later Clovis culture of North America and suggested that the Solutreans crossed the Ice Age Atlantic by moving along the pack ice edge using survival skills similar to that of modern Inuit people. The Solutean were around about 23,000 years ago.
The rise and fall of global sea levels has exposed the Bering Land Bridge in several periods of the Pleistocene. The bridging land mass" is believed to have existed both in the glaciation that occurred before 35,000 BC and during the more recent period 20,000-5,000 BC.
So, Humans by the Bering Land Bridge could have gotten here from before 35,000 BC to 11-12,000 BC. If the Clovis points point to European settlement, then theres a period from 21,000 BC to 11,000 BC for them to get here.
Now there is evidence in South America while predates Clovis by a 1000 years and evidence in South Carolina which dates to 50,000 years ago now.
Personally, I think settlement of the Americas likely happened over a longer period of time and new waves from Europe and Asia came during the various Ice Ages, with others coming from Oceania in boats over the centuries. Following that, there was likely contact at very low levels between the Americas and the rest of the world since then and predating both the Vikings and Columbus.
"They are selling it as 2.0 and didn't even show reruns after the first 10 airings."
They've been showing BSG reruns for months, as for Lost getting 25 and BSG getting 13, who do you think has a higher budget? ABC/Disney or the Sci-Fi channel? Remeber that BSG was orginally funded by a fusion of Sky One, which co-financed the series with the Sci Fi Channel and NBC Universal. Actually Lost has the pilot 2 episodes and 22 other eps for a total of 24 in the first season.
Eh, I don't buy this argument in regards to "Fascism" and having money for Lawyers. Fascism wasn't caused by the Corporation having money and ties to the government. Fascism was caused by the People of the states electing Fascist parties into power. Hitler didn't become the leader of Germany in the early 1930s because Krupps had the ability to crush the volk in court, Hitler rose to power because the National Socialist Party appealed to the German people and they elected the party to enough seats they could run the show.
Well, at the same time there are some half way senseable reasons for not being able to buy Opium and Toothpaste at the same time down at the corner market. Just like not having Cocaine Wine at the liquor store is a good thing.
Now the reason Opium was outlawed is not entirely a racist reason. Opium production in the 18th and 19th centuries was not controlled by the Chinese. The United States started importing Opium from the Ottoman Empire in 1805 and from India in 1834. Indian Opium production peaked in 1880, then cheaper Chinese production ramped up. Now even with Chinese production, the Chinese didn't have a transportation fleet to get it to North America in the 19th century. American consumption of opium rose over four-fold from the 1840s to the 1890s, and the number of addicts peaked at 313,000 in 1896.
As early as the 1850s, Opium addiction was identified in the United States as a health issue, especially among women.
There are vast swaths of the United State's prime agricultural areas sitting unused, with more areas able to grow Soy, Safflower, Rice, Corn, Wheat, etc.
In 2003, with alot of land unused, the US produced 256,904,992 metric tons of Corn for example.
The United States has a vast range of products that can be economically produced.
As of 2003 some tax credits are available in the U.S. for using biodiesel. In 2004 almost 30 million US gallons (110,000 m) of commercially produced biodiesel were sold in the U.S., up from less than 0.1 million US gallons (380 m) in 1998. Due to increasing pollution control requirements and tax relief, the U.S. market is expected to grow to 1 or 2 billion US gallons by 2010. The price of biodiesel in the United States has come down from an average $3.50 per US gallon ($0.92/l) in 1997 to $1.85 per US gallon in 2002. This appears economically viable with current petrodiesel prices, which as of 09/19/05 varied from 264.8 cents to 306 cents.
A pilot project in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Alaska is producing fish oil biodiesel from the local fish processing industry in conjunction with the University of Alaska Fairbanks. It is rarely economic to ship the fish oil elsewhere and Alaskan communities are heavily dependent on diesel power generation. The local factories project 3.5 million tonnes of fish oil annually.
Meanwhile, independent results have shown that a Cambridge, MA company, GreenFuel Technologies has been successful in producing biodiesel using flue gas emissions from power plant smokestacks. Using a patented algae bioreactor, GreenFuel utilizes algae, and a process of photomodulation, to reduce emissions while extracting oil rich biodiesel from the system. Currently, the company has a field site at the MIT cogeneration facility and at an undisclosed power facility in the U.S.
The United States also has the ability and experance to ramp up and produce alot of a new technology when it's politically or economically viable to.
It wasn't all hype. In late 1990 and early 1991 some of the F-15C pilots did secret dogfights with the German MiG-29s from the East German Airforce and in some aspects of the envelope, the MiG-29 was superior to the F-15C and AIM-9 at that time. The MiG-29 is about equal to an F/A-18C in dogfighting, with the MiG-29 able to override the flight control computer's 9G limit to pull up to 9.3G if I remember correctly.
Armor wise, the Russian gear was vastly overwhelmed by the M-1 and M-2/3, but they had alot of them. SAM wise, the Russian stuff is really, really good, while the US has Rapier, Avenger and Patriot now on the ground, the Russians have alot of systems for all sorts of threats. NATO has had alot of experiance with these systems since 1965 through 1999 and to 2003 and they get data from the Israelis.
F-22 and F-35 aren't about matching threats today, but about matching threats out past 2020 and 2030. F-22 looks like it's going to be far superior to Eurofighter Typhoon and the Gripen, and the coming Chinese systems aren't up to F-16C quality from the looks of them. Not sure how many F-22s and 35s will actually be built.
I mean the units that'll track your movements, monitor your speed, ticket you, etc.
The United States still has a serious streak of being independent, when the 24/7/365.25 monitoring of every vehicle in the country pops up, it's going to cause a serious political issue.
I get Car and read about what the British government is going to do in regards to watching every meter of road and taxing you, in the UK the attitude seems to be, oh well, whatever. In the States it'll be ugly, folks shooting out cameras and worse ugly.
