You're right. It's in the "import" section. I'm pretty sure if I change that to the folder I store my music in, then re-import, the new.xml file will go where I want it. Guess I owe Apple an apology. Thanks for your help.
My music (not My Music lol) is actually on a samba share, mounted at documents\media\music. But iTunes still seems to want to create a folder called My Music to store the xml file it uses as a database. I guess I should be grateful it doesn't rename my "documents" folder to My Documents.
But I'll check out the option you mentioned, maybe I just missed it.
Itunes on mac works pretty well. On windows is REALLY sucks.
What I hate is that it keeps creating a folder called "My Music" to store its database in, rather than storing it in the folder I keep my music in which is called, oddly enough, "music."
Do you have a link to back that up? Because the entire fscking show was "Canadian Content" - *ALL* of it (which you'd know if you'd ever read the CanCon regulations.) CanCon has nothing (as in ***NOTHING***) to do with the subject matter of a program. At all.
Well how about this one from the CBC's own website:
"The characters came in response to federal government requirements to include "identifiable Canadian content" in homegrown television programming."
"Moranis and Dave Thomas originally created the characters Bob and Doug McKenzie in protest against government requirements for "identifiable Canadian content" in domestically produced television programming."
Google for either Rick Moranis or Dave Thomas and the phrase "identifiable Canadian content" and follow the links yourself. There are hundreds of them.
Maybe it is just an "urban myth," but Thomas and Moranis have certainly never done anything to dispell it.
Do *you* have a link supporting your contention it was not a response to Canadian government requirements for identifiable Canadian content?
That is where Bob & Doug McKenzie on the old SNL show came from
It was actually SCTV, but you're right -- they were told by the CRTC to come up with two minutes of "identifiable Canadian content," so they improvised two guys drinking beer and wearing touques.
writes random data 25 times by default. You can change that number with another switch. The v puts it in verbose mode so you can see how far along it is, and the z writes zeros on the final pass.
Don't several HD-wiping programs do exactly that? Fill your disk with random data
That's why it is a good idea to zero the drive on the last pass. With gnu shred, you use the -z switch. If you don't, the random data looks exactly like encrypted data. If you found yourself in court, a judge could hold you in contempt for not providing the key to decrypt the "data" on your shredded drive.
Only people that Apple has granted access to that information have access to it, and to do so they have agreed to certain limits, one of which is not to share content that is restricted.
This reminds me of those disclaimers a lot of companies append to their emails and faxes stating that I am prohibited from reading the document if it was sent to me in error. Sorry, the minute you pressed 'send,' it became *my* property, and I will make use of it as I see fit.
If someone violated an agreement they made with Apple to not make their manual available to other parties, Apple needs to take it up with that entity. If Something Awful made such an agreement with Apple, they should be sued for violating it. If not, Apple needs to stop harrassing Something Awful and get on with fixing their manufacturing process.
Well, I don't know about that. Consider this line:
The Coalition is not alone in voicing such concerns, as evident by a statement issued jointly by Amazon, Google, eBay, InteractiveCorp., Microsoft, and Google, at a Senate hearing.
Google and Google are concerned about this. Must be serious.
Perhaps I didn't use the best of analogies. My point was that the owners of the infected computers are not the (only) victims and should bear some of the responsiblilty for the damage done to third parties by their machines. It doesn't matter that snow occurs "naturally." I didn't cause it to land on my sidewalk, but I'll be sued if I don't take steps to remove it before the postman slips and falls.
The day will come when the owners of the infected computers will be responsible. This is of course insane
I agree with you right up to the "this is of course insane" statement. I think the only solution is to hold the owners of the infected machines responsible, just like we make home owners responsible for shoveling the sidewalks in front of their houses.
I couldn't get past the quote from Thomas Jefferson, followed by the quote from his mother and his own gushing on about the New York Post or something to actually read much of his blog entry, but glancing at the titles of some of his other... pieces... I get the feeling he has an axe to grind against google, open source and "geeks." Why are we feeding his hunger for attention?
I believe that the RIAA does not do any more than search public P2P search engines for their copyrighted content, and her argument that this searching is trespass to chattels is nonsense.
From the linked article:
10. When Ms. Andersen contacted Settlement Support Center, she was advised that her personal home computer had been secretly entered by the record companies' agents, MediaSentry.
Ms. Anderson's suit contends that the use of MediaSentry amounted to electronic trespass. She also points out that she had taken steps to protect herself from unwanted intrusions. Is contravening an electronic security measure not illegal under the DMCA?
Actually, the word "canada" came from the Huron word "kanata," which means village. From answers.com:
Apparently its history starts with the word kanata, which in Huron (an Iroquoian language of eastern Canada) meant "village." Jacques Cartier, the early French explorer, picked up the word and used it to refer to the land around his settlement, now part of Quebec City. By the 18th century it referred to all of New France, which extended from the St. Lawrence River to the Great Lakes and down into what is now the American Midwest. In 1759, the British conquered New France and used the name Quebec for the colony north of the St. Lawrence River, and Canada for the rest of the territory. Eventually, as the territory increased in size and the present arrangement of the provinces developed, Canada applied to all the land north of the United States and east of Alaska.
always know where to find my tools! I put them all in my bookmarks folder of my web browser.
Please don't joke about that.
A while back I had to replace a drive in one of our Dells. I backed up the user's My Documents folder, formatted the old drive, installed the new drive and then shipped the old one back to Dell, as it was a warrenty replacement.
A couple of days later the user complained that she was missing a bunch of documents. It seems she kept the really important ones in her Favorites folder cause, well, they were her 'favorite' documents.
When I asked her why on Earth she would store her documents there, she looked at me as if I was crazy!

I know. It would just be nice if Apple would do something bold, like respect the user's choice of directory structure, rather than ape Microsoft.
What I hate is that it keeps creating a folder called "My Music" to store its database in, rather than storing it in the folder I keep my music in which is called, oddly enough, "music."
Just make sure you don't wear blue shirts
Well how about this one from the CBC's own website:
"The characters came in response to federal government requirements to include "identifiable Canadian content" in homegrown television programming."
From Rick Moranis' bio at IMDB:
"Moranis and Dave Thomas originally created the characters Bob and Doug McKenzie in protest against government requirements for "identifiable Canadian content" in domestically produced television programming."
Google for either Rick Moranis or Dave Thomas and the phrase "identifiable Canadian content" and follow the links yourself. There are hundreds of them.

Give me Radio Paradise: commercial free, listener supported and a great format. I use Streamripper to record it and play back later in the car.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I guess I was too tired to appreciate the subtlety of his humour.

No kidding. I hope they're not hosting this on the same server.
If Hunter S. Thompson were still alive, he'd be making fun of himself for killing himself.
