Jesus H. Knob-gobbling Christ, d'ya reckon you could mix a few more metaphors in there? Your proficiency in English is a blank slate where the hand of man has never set foot.
The whole global warming was supposedly from the Ozone hole being as large as it was at the current point in time. If the hole has been recovering since then why are scientists blaming mankind for the current increase in temperatures.
I think I post for us all when I say: "YOU'RE A RETARD".
This guy is a columnist for MSNBC. Whatever his experiences were, they were going to be broadcast to the world in a very visible forum. Microsoft should have had a team devoted solely to making sure this guy had a good time.
128kbps AAC audio is of much lower quality than CD audio. Granted, a significant portion of people are incapable of recognizing this difference, but most people who have any sort of musical training at all (which I find to be a large number of intelligent people, and most of the/. population are of such a type) can hear the difference if a comparison is made very directly (i.e. play the lossy music file, then play the CD audio).
Yet strangely enough, if the listeners are then played one of the tracks again without being told which one it is, and are asked to identify it, they get it wrong half the time. In other words, they don't know. Everyone thinks that HE has golden ears and EVERYONE ELSE is tone deaf.
That's the crazy thing about the current Administration. They're called Republicans, but as far as policies go, they might as well be called the Big Business Democrats. Republican administrations have tended to be those which least interfered with citizens' day-to-day lives. Not this one.
The commercials are now compressed as hell and raised in level so that the voiceover of the cleaning product commercial is at the same volume as the nuclear explosion in the show it interrupted.
They're not LOUDER than the shows, it's just that every single sound in the commercial is as loud as the loudest thing in the show.

That was the old "classic" Ghost. The new one is just a rebadged Powerquest DriveImage.
I can't think of any corp. in the last decade or so where ANYBODY could spell or knew proper grammar.
So you've only worked in the USA, then?

See, out here in the rest of the world we have DIGITAL mobile phones.
English, motherf*cker, do you speak it?

Probably because the House just passed the "Iran Freedom Support Act" 397-21.
Yes, you read that correctly. Only 21 votes against.
Freedom stay the course terror terror. God bless America.
As a previous poster stated, we now live in a world where politicians are jokes and only comedians tell the truth.
My fellow Americans, freedom stay the course terror terror. God bless America.

Speaking as a former professional musician, you're missing out one of the most important points.
Most band members are morons. Seriously.
Hold on, I thought eyes were so complex and amazing that they could only have been created by GAWD?

"Viruses".
...when the US has phones and networks equivalent to -- let's be charitable here -- what the rest of the world had six years ago.

You could care less? So you DO care then?
Yeah, but in 30 years all the scientists who presently don't believe in global warming will have drowned.
Word. I still use a 2MB Palm V and it does everything I want in a PDA.
Wow, that sounds really funny. If only someone could post a link to a scanned image.
Whatever you do, don't mention climate change or poof! there goes your funding.
Microsoft is a company with a lot of talent, if they wanted to write a good new OS, they could do it.
Yes, but none of the people with talent are in management. All the people in management with talent cashed in their options and quit years ago.
