And the point of using the application when you can't use the music store would be...? I've already got free, clean, seperate players for audio and for video.
What's with the mandatory i-tunes requirement to see the large screen? Very annoying for those of us that don't want yet another multimedia viewer clogging the machine
Or those of us who don't live in the US and therefore can't use itunes anyway.
In fact there isn't a codec out there that performs better than 'decent' at 128kbps.
What about mp3pro? My hearing may not be the best but I can tell the difference between a 128kbps mp3 and a 192kbps mp3. I can't, however, tell the difference between a 192kbps mp3 and a 96kbps mp3pro.
There was an article in today's Globe and Mail about the possibilities of a terrorist attack in the run-up to a possible federal election this summer.
Oh, well if the Globe and Mail says it, it must be true. Any mention of specifics or was this just some vague speculation by some nimrod who likes to see his name in print?
In Canada you'll just be put on a 9 month waiting list and you'll be dead before your turn comes up.
Bullshit. If you need surgery right away or you'll die (heart bypass, appendix removal, etc) you'll get it. If you need a new knee or hip though, that's when you'll be on a waiting list.

give it to blind people so they can know who they're talking to
I suspect blind people use the same method I do for telling people apart, the sound of a person's voice.
So basically, a 50 caliber projectile won't do shit to these containers.
Perhaps if we used some sort of nuclear weapon to break open the container.
What we'll need is materials to build a nuclear weapon, then we can move it by truck close enough to the convoy. Once in position, we can set off the nuclear weapon, breaking open the container of spent fuel!
Then all we'd have to do is gather up the spent fuel and we'd have the makings of a dirty bomb. It's foolproof!
There's no incentive there to use SpeedPass, unless you buy into the marketing drivel.
Except with a credit card, you have to reach into your pocket, pull out your wallet, open the wallet, pull out the proper card, and then swipe it.
From what I understand about these speedpass systems, it's something you hang from your keychain. Which means you just have to take your keys with you when you get out of the car to pump the gas (something you might want to do anyway if you compulsively lock your doors when you leave the car).
a task I could have completed in half the time if I had done it by myself.
I think I've figured out the problem. You're not getting drunk enough. That guy in the bathroom is there to let you know which one of the two sinks you see is the real one.
Don't forget that the drinking age in Ontario (right across the border) is 19. Last call time for alcohol is still 2am, but all the 19 and 20 year olds who can't legally drink in Detroit head to Windsor. And they bring their over 21 friends with them.
What's needed is not a volume duplicator, but a robotic CD/DVD archive device with CD and DVD burners instead of readers. Load up the first half of the slots with disks to dup, and the other half with blanks. Then just run a script to dup disks and log any failed burns.
I go downtown and lure small children into my car with candy, money, and toys. Then I drive them to my house and ask them to click on I Agree, Yes, or Ok.
And now if he applies for a job that requires some kind of security clearance, someone might just notice that he's got a red flag on his file because he was investigated. And the reason he was investigated? Because he asked a fucking question.
Think of your immune system as the things that fire the dots that intercept incoming missiles in Missle Command. These antibacterial products are like ICBMs launching nuclear payloads against bacteria. It'll work for a while by killing tons of bacteria but eventually the bacterial mutant zombie hordes that managed to survive the nuking will come looking to eat your braaaaiiins and the guy who runs the Missle Command launchers will be off playing Vice City.
When a business is successful, you usually reward employee's with raises.
Really? I thought when a business was successful, you were supposed to lay off a bunch of workers to drive up your stock price for the short term, cash in on your stock options, and move to a tax shelter island.

No paved shoulders? Hell, many of the roads around here aren't paved. Ever try painting a yellow line on a gravel road? Not much point to it.

And we should click on yours? My guess is that it is 100% porn.
You may also notice if you have sigs turned off, that it's not a sig

Incidentally, why barbers? Because they had the straight-razors, of course.
And steady hands.

Stop reminding me of high school gym class.
Is this post -1, Pathetic or +1, Pathetic?
I'd like to suggest that mothers starting telling their children to look both ways before crossing the street.
Think of the blind children!
Speaking as a guy, girls should be able to wear as little as they want to the frat party, and still beat the guys off
Uh, "beat the guys off"? You might want to rephrase that.

mp3-pro also doesn't have a free encoder that works easily with ripping programs.

Anyone know the unit cost of a missile?
I'm not sure about the hardware, but I think the software is $699
And the Woz came on and gave Mitnick a Mac. I believe it was a G4.
Alas poor Bill, we knew you well.
