That's what I'm saying; it was unintentional/accidental from The Beatles' perspective, but the effect was the same, except for not having the bad PR that might have come from doing this on purpose.
Some people don't like The Beatles as much; maybe there's this as a reason in addition to wanting to be difficult/different. Also, they did play soft/smooth/etc. stuff most of the time; I understand if you want something somewhat heavier. (That's one reason I took to Zeppelin so well, I suppose.)
you also beat me to it. I'll add a comment regarding a hypothetical Google employee singing this while drunk...and we all know how well singing while drunk works [I'll admit it has worked out quite well for Ke$ha's managers, though.]
+1 funny another funny thing is, the original version of When The Levee Breaks (Kansas Joe McCoy) is the only Free song I have in my music collection (maybe the 1971 Zeppelin rework should be public domain by now, but a 1929 blues song definitely should be.)
* I have some songs from artists that speak favorably of torrents (as well as those who speak unfavorably; the music is alright still), but this is the only track that's PD or CC.
I saw the obsession as following the band around and seeing several shows in one tour. Seems logical to me that if you'd like the act, you'd see them when they came close to your town if the schedule allows. However, if the band tours a lot, they might swing by your neck of the woods only once or twice each time. I suppose obsession can also be marked by the distance one is willing to travel if the band doesn't come locally.

sounds like my guess was fairly on-target. in MediaMoney, tags on.flac,.mp3, and.wma always seem to stick, whereas even with that program, tags on.m4a seem to hide/disappear
I've never noticed any spam from them, but I stopped simply because I wasn't using the subscription enough. What eMusic needs is for the credits to roll over month-to-month
They *do* have *some* stuff controlled by major labels, but their availability seems a bit hit-and-miss on both that and indie stuff I was looking for
Yeah, here in New York (state) we kinda laugh at the mid-south states those close over a couple inches. granted, her, we seem to be too slow to close stuff.
I like her, and hearing about her promo for the thing was the first mention of Ping I ran into. Still, I'm not crazy enough to chase down everything she endorses.:)
I don't want to click through every song in the library anyway.
Sometimes, I download files that have other peoples' star rankings in the tag, which I don't agree with. Even when I do use them, 5's are used sparingly.
even when I've bought music videos off of iTunes, VLC works much better for playing the video files themselves (.m4v format)
I only use iTunes to visit the iTunes music store; then the files get put into my normal system of music folders and imported into MediaMonkey like any other.m4a (Winamp sucked less than iTunes; MediaMonkey is better than either IMHO)
[Seriously though, iTunes' default folder structure is one of my annoyances with it, although it now leaves imported files in the same place.]
I'm only a minor in MIS, so I can't say anything about that (doing the minor certainly seemed smarter than taking random electives this fall, my last quarter)
For me, the one class with a TA was Data Analysis II; that was in a computer lab with a few dozen people [for the uninitiated, it needed a computer lab because it's a statistics class that does a lot of work with Minitab]
Aristotle is as relevant now as he was in his own time, perhaps more so.
Indeed, that the concepts are general and powerful enough to still be applicable thousands of years later is a quality indicator right there. I'm particularly fond of his virtuous mean concept myself.
Music has a somewhat similar factor on the timescale of a few centuries (Classical a la Bach et al) or a few decades (classic popular music such as The Beatles).
Computing accelerates this principle to a couple of decades
One of my favorite past professors said that he would like to, but he simply doesn't have the time even for a moderately-sized class. His exams were atleast really intelligently assembled essay questions though, pressed somewhat for time.
thankfully, RIT does not make you put up with this. Worst I ever had was a few dozen, and I've had a lot of much smaller groups.
The Rochester Institute of Tuition / Southern Henrietta Institute of Technology at least does not abuse class sizes and TA; in the few classes where TAs were invovled, they were a backup to most of the work being done by the regular prof

people not getting laid getting mad at those that are?
wonder if this factor helps fuel homophobia sometimes, as well?
Prostitution control is about as effective as drug control and gun control.
so, prostitution is the series of cheat codes for sex, and some honest players get into a moralizing mode?

from the http://mclars.com/site/blog/guest-blog-on-dave-kuseks-site/ blog post of his, which expands upon these concepts
holding back the product to build up demand can work as an intentional strategy, I suppose it can also work as an unintentional strategy
high quality product = good
high quality marketing = good
combine the two = really good

in MediaMoney, tags on

Yeah; I tend to clean up id3 tags as the files come in so I'm not stuck with such a massive batch.
I remember seeing "Rolling Stones" and "The Rolling Stones" treated as two separate artists by the alphabetization system.
Does iTunes just change the info in its library database, as opposed to actually retagging the files? Is that it?

Anyway, 200 would be a very large class, but a very small concert hall. Special-event speech, maybe

did we have to pick on the cheesy Boston accent joke?
Some of my Scout buddies decided to use people's names in place of cuss words because some adults were annoyed with the foul language
