Since seahorses, as well as many other fish, undergo gender transformations, they probably refer to their connectors differently. Probably the one with the hole is called "mouth" and the part that goes into the hole is called "food". Or at least, they would be, except for the fact that their audio equipment won't work underwater anyway!
Which reminds me - how the hell did the fish in Finding Nemo learn so much about dental tools?
Go to the RIAA Radar page. Look at their top 100 non-RIAA albums. I'm sure you've heard of some of these artists... Warren Zevon ('The Wind' has been #1 on their chart since it was released!), Brian Setzer, Natalie Merchant, Jimmy Buffet, Boz Scaggs, Simply Red, and more.
We may know a lot about the DNA of Ebola and hopefully we are intelligent enough to determine which base pairs to remove.
It is known which sequences of the virus's RNA (not DNA, this is a retrovirus, remember) create the glycoprotein that turns your insides into mush. NIH confirmed it a few years back by splicing pieces of the code into a cold virus and infecting blood vessel tissue samples with it.
I'll leave it to the reader to imagine the possible biowarfare implications of this knowledge.
This is modded insightful? Should be -1, Sour grapes!!
I'll agree that a great film is a great film, even if you watch it on a 13" B&W TV. And Gigli is going to suck even in a $50K home theater.
However, I'd much rather watch a good movie with a modest HT setup (decent size screen, surround sound, and so forth) than on a piddly standard TV with built-in speakers. It cannot be overstated how much better the experience is.

---- This is NOT reasonably efficient. 25 MPG is horrible and should be the absolute minimum allowed to be manufactured. No automobile company should be using the "we can't make safe cars that are efficient" excuse. They don't care about safe, they just care about cheap and high margins (SUV loving morons).
My old "reasonably efficient" just-shy-of-midsize 4 door from 8 years ago got 32 MPG mixed driving, 35 highway (real numbers, not listed). My "truly efficient" hybrid gets 52MPG mixed, 58 highway (again, real numbers). ----
I wrote my rep (Tom Petri R-WI) and he replied saying he voted against it because it would require lighter cars and lighter cars will result in more fatalities and more severe injuries in the event of a car crash. Ugh!
Thus proving that, like most of his colleagues, he is an idiot. If the average weight of vehicles goes down, the average collision will involve less kinetic energy and thus cars will be safer overall. There are several recent studies showing that when you look at fatalities caused both to occupants of a vehicle and occupants of other vehicles involved in their collisions, SUVs and large pickup trucks are the most dangerous vehicles on the road. Luxury import sedans and minivans are the safest.
But this is still a moot point, since there are plenty of ways to increase fuel economy without making cars smaller and lighter. Just having engines shut off at red lights would dramatically improve economy for the average American SUV driver who spends half their driving time sitting in traffic. The new Toyota Prius averages well over 50MPG, is nearly as big as the new Camry and weighs in at 3000 pounds. It looks to me to be a heck of a lot safer than a Ford Explorer.
And the "partial album"... that is just plain annoying. Why can't they offer the entire album!?!
I'm guessing those are situations where not all the songs on the album fall under the same copyright, and Apple hasn't been able to negotiate with all the copyright holders.
There is no fucking way that installing Windows Server 2003 is going to help. On the same hardware, I'd be surprised if it can perform HALF as well as Samba. I've done some comparison between Win2k3 on an Athlon XP 1600+ with 512MB RAM, and Samba 3.0 on Debian unstable on a Celeron 300a with 128MB RAM, and Samba was just as quick - and EASIER to administer.
I'd guess that the original poster's problem is far more likely to be related to either iTunes or the Windows networking client. I've noticed really disparate performance for local files vs. SMB before on software that opens large numbers of files to grab small bits of data, like thumbnail software, MP3 catalogers, and such.
Plus, I can never get drag-and-drop to do what I want it to do in Windows. It always does something unexpected with the content, document, or whatever I am dragging.
That used to drive me nuts, too, until I re-trained my fingers to always drag with the right mouse button. Then, you get a pop-up menu from the receiving application so you can tell it what to do with your stuff.
If your Palm has an SD slot, though, why not grab an SD card and fill it with PalmDoc ebooks? Then you don't have to worry so much about file sizes and you don't have to install another piece of sotware (doesn't PalmReader come with most recent Palms?).
Do you at least get digital versions of the channels you're paying twice for? That is, the channels are available in the standard analog package and then again in the digital package?
Charter doesn't do that... but the downside is, the analog channels (only about 75 for us, btw) are hideously low quality. 'Twould be nice to have them mirrored in the digital channel range. I'd be pissed about double-paying for it though. They ought not require you to have the standard package, all they should have to do is put a filter on the tap to cut them off.
Well, yeah it is that superior. But think about it - before HDTV existed, regular NTSC (or PAL) TV was the highest quality format available, but it was OK to record. Why should being better than the previous format make it somehow "too good" to allow the consumer to timeshift or archive?
Imagine if this had happened during the B&W->Color transition (yes, I know there weren't VCRs then). Oh, we can't allow the consumer to record the new color shows, but they can keep recording the B&W shows. I wonder how much longer the transition would have taken.
The FCC would be stupid to let CBS get away with making these threats. If they want the analog spectrum back, they need HDTV to get moving. It's shown a good deal of promise recently, and prices are becoming reasonable. It's lack of content that is the holdup now, and FUD created by Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and NAB.
If I were the head of the FCC, I'd be preparing a statement right now telling CBS/Viacom that if they want to quit broadcasting HD, they can go right ahead, but they'll be losing their NTSC licenses as well.

You forgot to mention "and will still be in development 20 years from now."
Didn't you see Finding Nemo? Crush, the sea turtle, was 150 years old.
Well, the thing is, Michael only goes after underage boys.

MTV didn't get to where it got by playing music, they got to where they are by playing MUSIC VIDEOS.
No, you're thinking of MTV2.

I thought most of the spots were white....

That makes sense, since almost all the carbs in a potato are simple starches, which would convert easily into sugar and then ferment into alcohol.
Which makes you wonder why all the vodka nowadays is made from grain instead of potatoes, but I digress....

Um, is this the lickable interface everyone talks about?
Yep, and the schnozberries even taste like schnozberries!
I'd probably call my plan for world domination file "ILikefluffyKittens.rtf" or something equally innocuous.
Mine is called 'AtlasShrugged.txt' so I know no one will ever bother reading it.

Of course, palladium does not prevent you from holding a microphone in front of your speakers to make an analog copy.
No, that will be in the next version, Palladium Xtreme.
Don't know about these, but Emusic works fine on Linux.
CCR? The song was by Dale Hawkins, you insensitive clod!
I know I shouldn't respond to the troll, but...

i enjoy getting paper cuts, can ebooks do that for me? NO. there goes the visceral experience...
You've obviously never built a PC in a cheap Taiwanese case, then. Sharp metal edges can be even more exquisitely painful than paper.
