  1. Re:Allofmp3... :) on Are iTMS's 128kbps Songs Worth Collecting? · · Score: 1

    Maybe downloading the actual songs is faster, but downloading a preview only gave me 4KByte/s (over DSL) - which is probably why they don't give a live preview. IOW AllofMP3 is only cheap if your time is too.

    7. For all the above, at a lot of stores, particularly iTMS, you PAY MORE for all these problems than a fine sounding CD

    Sure, if you buy the whole disk. If you only buy 4 or less songs, you'll have to wait for years until you can buy it as a bargain or used.

  3. Re:AAC encodes better than MP3 on Are iTMS's 128kbps Songs Worth Collecting? · · Score: 2, Funny
    First off, most people can hear sound up to 20khz.

    YEAH, WHEN IT'S LOUD ENOUGH. Most people are actually unable to hear higher frequencies at normal loudness because they listened to music far too loud for far too long. And when they are lucky, they don't "hear" a high frequency sound constantly that others can't.

    No way. In Germany almost everybody drives stick, and they still don't get this flow thang.

    Well, cyclist don't care about traffic lights anyways, so they are exempt from that traffic flow rule.

    Quote the article: "But the website has already become a victim of its own success, admits Schreckenberg. Some of the 300,000 people a day who are visiting the site are replanning their journeys on the basis of its forecasts, and this is beginning to make the forecasts themselves less accurate. And soon it could get even worse when the website becomes available on 3G cellphones, he says."

    So your answer is "It can't be done, because we already did it 100 years ago." Insightful indeed.

    ...where instead of being in error with what we know now, it is in error with itself.

    We need not go any further. The Bible is The Word of God, so it can't be in error with what we know now, because if anybody should know how things are, it's god.

    A config front-end hardly qualifies as 'tons of value'.

    Finding a couple of artillery rounds some insurgents dug up and made into a makshift bomb, obviously not knowing what they were (else they would have used them as such) does not equel Rumsfeld knowing where the stockpiled WMD are - unless he told the insurgents and not the military. And it's still a far way from "Saddam is building huge amounts of WMD to attack the US".

    The OP didn't complain that theatre managers chose the right to not show the movie over the right to show the movie, but that others forced them to give up the right to choose either on their own free will.

    And don't give me that shit that nobody put a gun to their head - we all know that nail-toe clippers are deadly weapons.

    Satire is all about pointing out the truth by bending it a little. Not lying - that's what Bush does. No matter how much the Unliberals claim he doesn't.
