    I don't want other people knowing that my most listened to album is Tom Dooley and Other Hits by The Kingston Trio.

    Based on your preferences we here at kfg music services recommend:

    Frank Proffitt; Folkways Records; Smithsonian Institute.

    Why?:

    Tom Dooly collected from Frank Proffitt.

    Other people who listen to Tom Dooley wear underwear. If you don't you must be a weirdo.

    Oh, and your wife is obviously having an affair with customer #197543432875 Just thought you should know.

    Thank you for your patronage.

    No story here I'm afraid. The shape of the iPod Shuffle obviously supports this application by design. Apple has already told you what you can do with it.

    Because until now we did not have the technology to make a really big and unwieldy mp3 player?

    Is it a good thing that DHS is supporting open source?

    They are not supporting open source. They are supporting commercial code which can be applied against open source code.

    The open soure developers and their code base are left to go scratch.

    already, we do more with our minds on a daily basis than humans of only a half-century ago.

    You clearly weren't around half a century ago. I was.

    You're full of the arrogance of the modern.

    What's more I have spent some time living in ancient fashions, right down to the neolithic. The mind always fills itself to its capacity and just because your modern mind is blind to the stimuli and thought processes needed to survive and prosper in a neolithic world does not imply that those stimuli and thought processes do not exist.

    How do you think we got to the modern world?

    Yes, well, I've just taken everything you had, so now I have more than you, but I gave some small fraction of it to charity, so that's alright then. You are scum because you aren't giving anything of what you don't have anymore to charity. To the almshouse with you where they might deign to bestow the charity of what was once yours upon you, derived from my own generosity.
