Make sure to use black paper. If it's thermal, it'll burn the head. If it's ink or toner, it'll use lots of it.
Um, no. I don't like them because they are forcing me to use an MS OS, an MS browser, an MS player, etc...
Just like iTunes at this point (well, except that it's Apple stuff, not MS stuff).
When iToons is avalable for Windows, we'll see what happens. Will they allow alternate OS's? Will they alolow MP3's? Will they allow me to download songs, then somehow transfer them to the MP3 player in my truck?
I was in the same boat, and signed up with Bluelight.com - yup, K-Mart's ISP.
$9.00 a month, no ads, and nationwide service. Other than "Windows only", it was perfect. Although my laptop still runs Win2K, so it wasn't really a problem.
When I moved, I got SBC DSL, and it comes with nationwide dialup.
I just installed the Aiwa in-dash MP3/CD player in my truck. With 128 bit compression, I can get 11-13 full CDs on a single CDR. I carry 10 or so in a CD wallet, and now I have 100+ CDs with me all the time.
There's an email address in our exchange server to send a page to my cell. The people who had my pager email address sent me ILOVEYOU, obviously without the attachment.

Why Kids Kill
·
· Score: 3
I live next to Springfield, and am employed by the school district where the shooting was last year. Obviously, I'm not speaking for them. I got my fill of the media, and haven't been glued to the current shooting. I've had enough, and don't know the details of Littletown, but I'd like to address a few of your points.
>> How easy was it for these kids to get >> automatic weapons?
Did they have automatic weapons? Uzi's? M-16's? BAR's? or did they have SEMI-automatics? (some people call them - "self-reloading")
There is a HUGE difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic weapon. Most new semi-automatic pistols hold 6 to 8 rounds, but the maximum, by law, is 10. In reality, there isn't much capacity difference between new revolvers and new semi-autos. A good shooter can empty and reload a revolver in about the same time as a semi-auto.
Getting rid of guns in the US will be impossible. Besides that, people who want to kill will find a way to do it. Take away the guns & they'll use pipe bombs or drive through a crowd in mom's Suburban.
I grew up in an area where everybody was armed, and I was shooting by the time I was 6 and have owned a gun since I was 8. I still shoot, yet I've never aimed a gun at a person or an animal. A gun is just another tool that can be used for good or bad - just like a car, knife, hammer or 2x4.
In my opinion, is is society problem. There are other countries that are armed - Israel and Switzerland for example. If it isn't an American society problem, why aren't Israeli kids shooting each other? Why aren't Swiss kids getting dad's rifle out of the closet and shooting each other? It's an American problem, not a gun problem.

Sure. If you're U2, Modonna or Elvis.
I'd bet that even bands that large don't deal with Apple - Apple deals with *record lables*, not bands.
Um, no.

And they can't add, either.
I found an album with 8 songs.
Each song, by itself is $0.99.
The "album" is $9.99
"Look!, I can pay extra!"

I've never used Overture before, and after seeing this, I doubt I will.
40 hits for *sponsored* links? Where's the real hits?
Finally, hit #53 (on the second page) isn't a paid ad.
It's too slow. It sucks.
They need to do a lot of work to pass up Google.
Well, if they misspell the name of the Skynyrd album, I certainly won't buy it.
Yes I have dinosaur rock, but many hundreds of CD of newer stuff as well. As well as a small MP3 collection...

It's like having an in-dash CD changer.
