Make sure your relative isn't a closet drug addict. We trusted my sister (3 kids of her own) to babysit our toddler during the day. My wife got off work early one day & went to pick up our kid. When she got there, the front door was open, and all the kids were sitting in the living room watching cartoons (thankfully). This was a second story apartment, any one of the kids could have taken a tumble down the concrete stairs. Thirty minutes later my sister showed up. Seems she was downstairs getting high with the neighbor (stupid crackhead).
Needless to say, she was no longer our babysitter. Now that we are divorced, we act as babysitters for each other.
I'm currently using Emusic, and loving it. I'm *re-buying* stuff. I mainly use it to replace cassettes (and some LP/7" stuff) that I have no way of playing. I've already "supported" them once when I bought my original copy. Whatever amount they get from my online purchases is simply cream.
New artists, and especially local artists, I agree with you and usually buy the CD from a local shop (I have no idea how they stay in business).
Not manually update iTunes, manually update my Archos. iTunes only works with iPods. Makes sense for them, and I'm sure it's great... If you have an iPod.
I typically use iTunes for music (as we speak) and WMP for video. If WMP10 is close to iTunes' experience, *and* will sync w/ my Archos MM20, I'll switch.
I'm tired of manually choosing albums to update/sync.
All 2nd marriages need a failed 1st marriage before they can occur. Not everyone who gets divorced gets remarried. The percentage of divorces goes up for 2nd marriages, I'm sure. It's the first one that's a real bitch. Then you know what to expect. You'd *think* you would also know what to do to prevent divorce...
However you look at it, that's a whole bunch of divorces.
It's most likely that you & your friends are reaching "that age". Look at the overall divorce statistics. Marriages, especially first marriages, rarely work out.
I was at a local ice cream shop w/ my daughter recently & started talking to another dad there. Turns out he does just that, provides some type of "legal insurance". I didn't get very deep into it with him (how long does an ice cream cone last?), but it seemed to be what you're talking about.
I can't attest to how popular it is, but his family was dressed nicely & they had a very nice car.
I've thought about this. I think it's because Ad Aware has a "full" version they sell. Ad Aware also restricts it's "lite" version to home use only, companies are supposed to pay for it. Revenue = the need to update, so you get what you paid for. I know I stopped using it for a while, because they were holding back the def. updates for x amount of time on the free version.
S&D has always given me the impression that it's some dude in his basement, being way cool (from my perspective) and giving away his great little utility (for personal AND business use, if I'm not mistaken) and just asking for donations/tips.
I think we all know which of these scenarios is going to result in the most amount of cash, which provides incentive to update.
Plus, I've got this gut feeling that the S&D guy is getting sick & tired of it. (opinion pulled wholly out of my ass, I have no clue.)
I spend waaaay too much time in auto parts stores. I *always* give my correct address. Usually, I only need to give it to them the first time, then I'm in the computer. Why do I do it? #1, since I do spend so much time & money there, I don't mind getting coupons from them. #2, and the biggest reason, they have a record that I bought a radiator with a life-time warranty. When the cheap-ass POS blows a year later, I can take it in, they look it up, see that I bought it from their chain, then give me a replacement. No receipt, not anything else is needed.
WTF can they do nefariously with my address? Send me more junk mail? The only junk mail that makes sense is auto-related, which not only do I not mind, I can actively use it. That's more useful than the produce coupons I get every week. I suppose they could sell my address to someone who's selling sewing supplies. Wouldn't make much financial sense for the buyer, though.
I know *I* get tired of explaining to people that their brand-new, super fast CPUs are so dog slow because they cheaped out and got 128 mb RAM. I wish (in one hand and spit in the other) that Dell, etc. would stop even offering 128mb w/ WinXP.
If one of my users was caught maliciously doing damage to a server I was maintaining, I'd kick them off my network, too. Seems like a responsible thing to do.
Allowing miscreants free reign in the network would be an irresponsible thing to do.
No, not as a Rep, as an independent (? I usually vote Libertarian, though). I listen to both sides, and the Dems are just plain more offensive during their "debates" (non-offical, on sites such as/.). I hear Reps address the issues, and respond to allegations intelligently. I hear Deps say things very similar to "Bush eats babies". Guess which side sounds more rational, and more believable.
I am neither a Bush nor a Kerry supporter. Personally I think anyone who would seek the presidency shouldn't have that much power.

Where are you selling them? Got an URL? Oh, wait...
Businesses have their own built-in "p2p" networks. Just keep the system private & in-house.

I have the Archos Jukebox MM20 & it rocks. Especially fun to make crappy fun videos :)
I personally always dug using a pen.
You want the burly guys in front, close to the cockpit.
You snap the weak tines off the fork and use the jagged end of the handle. Go for the eyes.

Nothing like a little incompetence to get your weekend started right.

Don't open source projects usually just drop it, such as GIF & the Gimp?

I love being the man-in-the-middle between two lesbians.

Worked for my email address...
As someone who struggles occasionally to learn CSS (when I have the time), do you have any sites to recommend?
I just clip on my smoke break. Since smoking is *already* annoying, and I'm the only one at the office who smokes, I'm all set.
Glad I checked before I replied. Too bad I don't have mod points for you.
Maybe you're a bit biased (not to be a smartass), that would color your observations.
What we should really do is everyone get together & write in PeeWee Herman...
