I got the cheap nano to replace my old one that got stolen, so whatever that adds up to I guess.
What I really like is that it is modular -- my iPod got stolen but I still had my radio piece. If it'd been built-in, the whole deal would be gone. Small parts doing specific things very well. (I'll still look hard at any iPod phone that comes out, though...:)

The few things I listen to on the radio are mostly NPR broadcasts, and mostly on an inconvenient times for me. So I get the podcast versions of those. Done.
ditto.
+ BBC and CBC stuff.
Quirks and Quarks, sciencefriday.com, Living on Earth, and Slacker Astronomy some of my podcast favorites.
if they were under 18.....how were they charged for a felony?
I worked in a classroom in a school system that provides iBooks to all middle and high school students. My students had no interest in really exploring their computers, to my dismay, but they did rack up a number felony charges for drugs, guns, and assault.
I started off doing some web design for my then-roommate's band. They were a metal band that would NEVER get radio play and were feeling successful having put out a CD on a bedroom label in Philadelphia. They put some of their songs on mp3.com and then proceeded to get downloaded A LOT. This got them attention and and signed to an actual underground label. The CD that they released there sold very well for the genre and got good press.
This momentum and a name change got them signed by a major label and they were then able to quit their day jobs. They have since sold more music and payed to more people than they ever imagined possible.
My take way from this is that the label does matter, as it got them support and connections that they wouldn't have had otherwise. Even in the age of basically free distribution, you need to get noticed to get heard (if you want to get past a certain level of audience size). There is so much content available that it really does help to have someone/something big point to your music and say that it is good.
About 50% is ripped from my CD collection, maybe 10% is legal free ($) stuff. I've bought a few CDs worth of stuff from the iTumes store recently, for the ease and quality. The rest is fair-use copied:)
I'm very familiar w/ OS X on a G3 400 iMac, a G3 400 PowerBook, and a G4 450 Cube, and on none of these boxes is performance even close to that bad. The iMac can have its moments, but nothing like that.
Which is also a free download for Mac OS (but also for Linux AND Windows) and with which you can stream MP3s (or video). The new iTunes 4 isn't any different, in that it is up to the user to use the technology as they will. I mean if I buy a Real streaming server or set up whatever MS offers and then streamed a bunch of questionabale content it isn't either of those companies that would be targeted by the RIAA laywers. Apple has just made the entry barrier to streaming much lower, but the basic thing here isn't new. This will be neat to watch play out.
Like with that Canadian site that was streaming US television shows as a rebroadcast a while back -- nobody considered suing the people that they got their software from.
I would imagine, too, that at about the 80% point he just started making shit up so that he could in some way wrap that puppy up. Not that I don't love his books, but they just do not end (as stroies) very well...
W Gibson is credited w/ describing/definig a great deal of the characteristics of cyberpunk. He's written a number of books, with Neuromancer generally considered the most important. If you like sci-fi or just technology, check his stuff out. Get Neuromancer and read it and keep reminding yourself that he wrote it 20 years ago.
Things shouldn't have to be 'People Magazine' big before its safe to assume that thay can be mentioned on Slashdot w/ out a preamble. As far as current sci-fi or techie writers go, NS is huge. He may not be William Gibson, but he's certainly not obscure.
Given the tools available to you, there isn't really room to complain about not having heard of someone or something.
It is better to be silent,
and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
I had this problem right after I installed iT4. I had to delete the installed iPod drived (? kext ??) and use the iT4 installer to re-install the driver. Easy enough once I figured it out, but it took a few hours to get there -- I'm not used to having to think about these things... The message boards in the Apple support section had a number of people experienceing thhis and were a pretty good help.
It is my understanding that, while Canada is a large country, that like 95% of the population lives w/ in like 100 miles of the US/Canada border. It would be more accurate to think of Canada as a very short but wide country, like a sideways Chile.

Thanks for taking my one-liner and making it substantial.
Do something actually useful. Donate'em to an inner city middle school.

Zune has a built-in FM radio receiver
I got the Apple FM attachment for my Nano and am very happy with how slickly it integrates.
An iPod that is a phone *will* get attention.
Safari has a 'Private Browsing' mode that creates no history, cookies, cache.

And we have for almost a year now.
(We had trolleys first too.)
I mean stuff like loooong intros and spending literally half the show talking about how you can contact the show.
I'll second that exact observation.

It is radio, on-demand.

My collection right now is 8994 songs at 46.05 GB. But I'm happy w/ 10 GB iPod.
It'd be nice to have everything backed up even more redundantly, though.
and playing some good stuff
I'm very familiar w/ OS X on a G3 400 iMac, a G3 400 PowerBook, and a G4 450 Cube, and on none of these boxes is performance even close to that bad. The iMac can have its moments, but nothing like that.
At the indie store at which I used to work, most of the $$ was late fees and porn.

It's overpriced and has at times been extremely unreliable.
I mean it. Keep up the good work.
If I could handle the weather I'd move to Canada in a heartbeat.
