Get a record player and hook that into your stereo. Get the line out of the reciever and plug that into your line in of your sound card. Record from the line in on your sound card. Compress to mp3.
You could also hook the turntable directly into the line-in, but you wouldn't get the preamp and it would sound much quieter.
Wear weird clothes (not weird in the everyday weird people sense, but truly out of place). Walk up to someone (inventing an accent is fun) and ask them what year it is. When they say, puzzled, "2002", get a huge smile and dance a future dance away yelling "it worked, it worked!"
Fun to confuse people with.
Just as fun: Dress up like a hippie or something else interesting from the past and change everything accordingly to the past.
I don't know. It sounded like an American perspective, ie "Across the pond", "those Europeans", etc.

That is most certainly not true. There are plenty of great musicians and bands here. They are not RIAA members or getting air time, but the music is nonetheless great.
And that's just my city. There are great bands in EVERY major city. (assuming you live in/near a fairly large one.) You can't just turn on the radio and hear this, but you haven't done that to find those European bands. Look around your city. They're there. I can't imagine they'll be harder to find than those European bands were.
Even if you don't live in/near a big city, imagine all the bands in every US city. That's a hell of a lot. I'm still finding them every day.
Havoc Records is a great label from Minneapolis with tons of great bands, and it allows total creative control by artists and minimal profit margins. I own probably 30 records from this label. (havocrex.com)
Oh come on, the punk you see on Warped may suck, but there are thousands of good bands kicking out great rock and roll today. In every major city, there are plenty of decent local bands. All the ones you've named are signed to big labels anyways.
In Minneapolis, we've got A-Bomb Nation, Holding On, Dillinger Four(okay, they're St. Paul, but I can bike there anyways), Onward to Mayhem, home of Havoc Records, The Subversives, The Framed, Red Vendetta, Menstrual Tramps, and a hella lot more. And that's just my city.
Since you mentioned political, Aus-Rotten were the primier political band for a while. Crust is getting pretty big these days and is typically political.
This site doesn't seem to be much. He seems to have found that the numbers will generally come to make a palindrome over time. This is something cute but nowhere on the site does he even try to explain relevance to anything. In addition, this guy doesn't seem to know much of anything with math. He considers infiniti a number, he is suprised by obvious things, etc. He reminds me of the Greek philosophers before science as we know it came to be. He thinks whether something makes sense rather than taking it step by step in a proof (or for the simplicity of explaining it, a pseudoproof).
The food dropping seemed more like token kindness intended to provide the image that they cared rather than real food aid. Crackers and peanut butter is not quite nourishing. And 33,000 of them were dropped in a nation of 40 million. Kind of a PR thing rather than anything substantial.
I'd have to say that, while 1984 is not without its merits, Brave New World is much more accurate. Globalization has replaced imperialism, power goes into fewer and fewer hands (political and economic). Corporate control is comparable to the heat conditioning and the conditioned rejection of education. Ford has replaced god; instead of Ford we'll most likely have AOL-Time-Warner-Microsoft-whatever, but you get the point.
The book is about globalization, which I think is far more alive than oppressive government. The latter is only getting started. Meanwhile, we are very familiar with the former
Kind of. My friend, depite 35 out of 36 on his ACTs and a 4.0 GPA (in the International Baccalaureate program, which is essentially work from hell for two years), did not get into MIT or any top colleges for the mere fact that he had one suspension for fighting someone who started the damn fight.
That's pretty rediculous.

You'd think someone that smart WOULD know they'd have to look the part so they can trick the Vegas casino management.
Talk to a drummer. They use each limb to perform a different beat, if they're good. One foot on the kick pedal, one on the high hat pedal, and the two hands switch between the snare, rack toms, high hat, crash, and floor tom. I've seen people get their hands to do 3 beats at once.
uh... but for someone to create, where does the creator come from? I find a "creator" just as mysterious as a first organism and how it came to be. For me, it's easier to see life happening by chance than there to be a creator merely existing forever in the past and forever in the future.
they could forget about who had it after it was returned; there wouldn't be much of anything for the FBI to look up; they'd have to hope the person checked out something suspicious right before they checked.
We only have truly accurate data for the past 200 years, sure. But we've scientifically guessed at the past; we know about it being warm in Greenland (settlers!) and Europe in the 1300s, we know about the last ice age about 10000 years ago, we know it was much hotter with the dinosaurs, etc...
WWI was almost 90 years ago. Would it be a valid argument to dismiss the Bush administration on the basis that Wilson unconstitutionally persecuted socialists? Of course not.

I hate to split hairs, but it is a significant difference.
As I recall, the calls were made from the bathroom and with a cell phone.
The FCC takes a back seat to fighting terrorism, that's my defense of my pirate radio station.
Prohibition (18th Amendment) was repealed 1933 by the 20th Amendment, so you could say that.
Couldn't there be a system where it records WHETHER a person voted yet, but not who they voted for?

And reduce the ticket prices and stop demanding new stadiums using *MY* money. We rejected the last 5 proposals, GIVE IT UP baseball!
There, I feel better.
No, no, that was SOUTHERN Sweden... all the difference in the world. =)
I thought this was about beer. INTERNET beer! Not beer as in free, but still pretty nice. Today was looking up for a moment there.
Oh well...

Yes, but you'd see ALL of them. You wouldn't know how particular people voted.
