You can request a refund check for any unspent money in your account, but you still get an iTunes credit for the web-only songs you purchased... which doesn't help you much if you don't do iTunes.
Or, you could display your 4339 bit number in base 36 to encode non-beautiful alphanumeric messages. (about 813 characters, but no capitalization, punctuation, nor whitespace)
ITA2 (5 bit) does even better for some messages. 867 characters, but you lose some when you shift between modes (letters vs numbers/punctuation).
Cold tends to slow down chemical reactions. Most batteries rely on chemical reactions to move electrons.
As Khan said so eloquently, "It is very cold in space".
Fun experiment: if you have an old tape player that runs on batteries, stick the batteries in a refrigerator for a few hours. Pop them back into the player, listen to the tape speed up as they get warmer.
I think we're in agreement on the facts - can't legally record in private without consent. I hadn't realized how the wiretapping law (which should cover, you know, wiretapping) had been extended to cover non-telephone conversations.
I'm still focused on the public-space applications; hypothetically, I worry less about trying to videotape my assailant in a private place (where I know everybody, or know someone who knows everybody) than I do trying to figure out who mugged me in the park.
Your linked article makes sense for private places, but as far as I can tell, if you're in a public park, or on a public roadway, or on a public sidewalk, or in a government building, or other public place, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
The police department elected not to prosecute Mr. Gannon. (Sorry for paywall) Yes, he was certainly hassled a lot, apparently within the letter of the law.
How does that apply to a compact audio or audio-visual recording device carried on ones person to document one's surroundings in public places where there is no expectation of privacy?
How does a law about recording telephone calls apply to making an audio or visual recording in a public place (for instance a public sidewalk) where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy?
Balance is key. Too much is bad too little is also bad.
You've got it. The people who call meetings really need to understand the ramifications of having a meeting - "Stop everything you're doing, and let's talk for a few hours" is something that should be done sparingly if at all.
OTOH, a few minutes here and there to make sure that the right value is being added to the organization at the right time makes sense.

Linux does support MP3's.
How does that get me a Windows computer to run iTunes on?
Let's hope so.
About a week after lala goes dark.
Having two services is pointless one had to go and I have a feeling iTunes is kinda bigger..
Unless the two services target different markets.
iTunes is there to support iPods, iPhones, and iPads on on Mac or Windows computers.
Lala seemed to be working with any moderately recent browser, to allow online streaming of music and purchase of individual MP3 files.
iTunes may be bigger, but I don't fit into that market, since the required software doesn't run on my computer.
You can request a refund check for any unspent money in your account, but you still get an iTunes credit for the web-only songs you purchased... which doesn't help you much if you don't do iTunes.
The whole reason I was using Lala was because my computers (Linux) don't seem to work with iTunes.
Replacing my purchased web songs with an iTunes credit that I can't use doesn't really help me out.
I should note that yes, I know that doesn't leverage compression, and compression algorithms will do better.

More seriously, there are some devices that are tested and known to be acceptable
Any chance you have a link to that list?

So they make me turn off my personal electronic devices for takeoff and landing, but they don't turn off theirs?
Personally, I will need at least 4 of these for hunting and personal defense.
I should have picked up on your intuitive understanding of cold by your use of the word "eh?", eh?
Wisconsin is great for the liquor, but lousy because there's no Tim Horton's (or Waffle Houses). The concessions we make...
/still really cold for a chunk of the year

Cold batteries suck, period.

Still, an enlightening discussion. Thanks.
While you generally are permitted to photograph or record video of people without permission in most public places, it is illegal in Illinois to "videotape, photograph, or film" people without their consent in "a restroom, tanning bed, or tanning salon, locker room, changing room or hotel bedroom." 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/26-4(a).

That seems to apply to recording telephone calls.
How does that apply to a compact audio or audio-visual recording device carried on ones person to document one's surroundings in public places where there is no expectation of privacy?
I'm sorry, maybe I really am an idiot.

It's not my problem that you live in Illinois.

That's how it works here in Wisconsin.
