There was SUCH a long line at the shredder that day. I really needed to get down to the pub for a few pints.
Notice it's Some guy, or some lazy employee, or some relative, but no names. Then, the manager's name was Tan, perhaps the employee's name was Sum Gai, or Sum Laytse-Emploie. His credibility stinks. Again with the, complaints have been coming in for ages, but he appears to have no oversight of these things and suddenly their all found in the trash. Yuh. The cheque is in the mails.

Yeah, be sure to check the address on those things. Also, I believe the Vatican uses Vastech to handle all their "Children's Letters to God" mail.
Actually it was a bad employee. The employee was supposed to shread them first.
iTunes just places them that way for the library (which is configurable). Playlists let you organize your music any way you want.
I've been able to create playlist folders and organise things into them, but the library has been a major headache. Most of the 1,000+ radio shows from the golden age are identified by the file name. ID3 information is spotty and inconsistent, but when you go by the file name it's all pretty straight forward.
I have found I can select a range within the library and sort it, but moving things around is highly problematic. It would be a vast improvement if the library had subfolders where I could organise things off to. Like a desktop, you prefer to keep it clear so you can focus on your current projects, moving things off into files so you don't have to look at the entire list every time you add new mp3 files. Perhaps it does, but I haven't been able to find it.
2001 called. It wants its whine back. And throw in a little cheese while you're at it.
In other words -- get over it already. You're not unique or interesting because you developed a filing system in your head that's less intuitive for 99.9% of the rest of the world.
So what you are saying is you don't have an iPod. Thanks for your not help.
Now I have something to want (tm) for christmas.
no e-mail client, but I guess web-based e-mail would work too.
I want a replacement for the crappy itunes app which grabs all my stuff from all my nice, neat little folders and throws them willy nilly into a screen which is extremely hard to use for re-organising. I mean, wtf, why not try to preserve the prior organisation? it's not all music of the same genre from the same band all from the same recording session. it's rock, easy, classical, metal, etc, plus a tonne of old radio shows in MP3 format.
Everybody and their dog has been talking about this for the last few years, so I'm not sure that this is really 'news'. My wife and I try to keep our daughter from watching too much TV, and limiting what she does watch to Sprout. Sometimes, though, you just need the services of the electronic babysitter to keep your sanity.
Teach her to play chess, then give her one of those eletronic chessboards. Honestly, give kids those Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, Legos and such and they'll keep themselves entertained for hours, develops their little brains, too!
Gosh, you mean watching Tv with 1/2 second shots changing quickly will shorten my attention span? What's next, water that gets you wet?
Ever notice how stuff on TV in most countries is peppered with advertising? Start a story, ad, ad, ad, some more of the story, ad, ad, ad, ad, a preposterous climax/cliff hanger, ad, ad, ad, ad, some sort of resolution which returns things back to the way they were at the beginning of the show.
I don't watch TV anymore as I find it frustrates the heck out of me. I read books now, play the occasional video game, but have suffer no doubts maintaining my attention span is quite a challenge. I must have 5 or more thoughts pass through my mind each minute I'm listening to someone talk, then find I can't remember their name.
Is it agriculture? Is it a service? Floor wax? Desert topping?
I don't know about that, but I have worked in a Cubicle Farm before. It's a whole new brand of agribusiness! Seeded with ideas, harvesting new technologies, raising profits, that sorta fing.
We seem to be selling each other services and properties without really adding value. It's something Thomas Pynchon wrote about in "The Crying of Lot 49," where he describes how in a zero-sum game it's false to pretend you can take something away from it. Agriculture, manufacturing and intellectual property (software development) make value, but the rest of this services-based economy just pushes money around.
This is what you get with fiat money, eh? We believe the paper represents some value, though it is only backed up with the intention of the government to manage it's value through manipulation of interest rates and negotiating terms with other countries on exchange rates. Money has effectively been reduced to points. Rarely do I see a large note in my wallet these days, more often my entire pay moves around without me seeing more than a tiny fraction of it necessary for incidentals (newspapers, bubble gum, 14 pin dual inline sockets, etc.)
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
It's Fubar, not Foobar (F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition) Sorry to be nit-picky, but you should know:)
Which hasn't detered many from copying it all over the internet since I coined the phrase years ago. Some (*gasp*) have even adopted it as their own!
I purposely wrote it that way to be silly, in a geekish way. Foobar is sometimes used in place of Fubar by intent to distance it from the obvious profanity of the original. I simply followed that lead.
Note to moderators: This post is a Service, not Food.
...once you take land out of agricultural use, it is never used for agriculture again. By that I mean the growing of crops. Once a building is there, that's it.
Michigan may have to test that. There are a few cities which have lost considerable amounts of their employment base and population. Saginaw and Flint have lost large percentages of population which moved elsewhere after the withdraw of General Motors manufacturing. Over 20 years ago I drove through parts of the city where there are streets, but few houses (most of the remaining are condemned.) They may as well tear up the streets and begin planting corn, soy, sugar beets or wheat as it's likely the only way the land will be productive in the next 100 years.
Seriously, Redmond has a cases of it. Whatever happened to this cozying up to Novell, or was it just another ploy to co-opt something beyond their control?
... had been hit by a small asteroid instead of planes. We'd be halfway to Mars by now.
Right after we rounded up all astronomers and astrophysicists and put them Gitmo for withholding information, never mind we didn't listen to one word while they were shouting "look out for that asteroid!" And then once we liberated the Moon we'd welcomed as liberators!
Once people figure out how to profit from the Moon they'll be there like gophers in a golf course.
Oh, expense, we can't have huge expenses before realising a profit. Duh. Get back to your landscaping job and don't forget to pull all the weeks this time.
CCD cameras need not all cost £££ or $$$. I'm in the midst of converting a Philips SPC900NC to an astro imaging camera. Alas, I don't think I'll finish in time for a trip with the scope to high elevation next weekend.

And yet Microsoft has most vendors no longer selling XP machines and that all seems just fine with the DoJ.
If it looks like a monopoly, smells like a monopoly and acts like a monopoly then it must be .. hey, we can still win the war!

It's not for promoting candidates, it's for smearing their opponents.

Maybe you should be sent to concentration camp... you know... to learn to concentrate.
Right on. Do they have TV there?

I lost my attention after the first sentence. Someone tell me what this is all about. :-/

Use something like Registax.

Blue Peter is a BBC childrens show. Blue Peter Technology is effectively something so simple a child could do it.
