you are correct, but a well-implimented id3v2 library does not have this problem. even if your current tag needs only 50 bytes, it is recommended that the tag be 512 or 1024 bytes. the 50 you need is used, the rest is NULL. this is recommended so that adding new tags (say an image or lyrics) has a chance of not needing to rewrite the entire file.
what does "reinstall my goddamn laptop" even mean? does this mean you're trying to reinsert it into your anus? or are you trying to reinstall some version of windows? or perhaps some third party software?
if linux, os x or win98 are easier to install , please feel free to do so. you sound like one of those people who don't know how to maintain a system anyway, so when your linux install fucks up, we can hear you complain about that instead of windows (for a change).
"thank you dell and microsoft for fucking my weekend". let me ask this - what did you do to fuck things up in the first place? are you aware that you should not attempt to "install your laptop" into your anus? although, i guess it did not explicetly state this in the instruction manual, so it's someone else's fault.
no, because you would have the mind of a baby and would not be capable of understanding that you were a human mind in a mouse's body. furthermore, assuming that the mouse-boy was taught to communicate with the lab folks, he would have to be _told_ that he was a mouse boy in order to know.
they had a 'virtual doctor' in one of the star trek series also. he serves as the ship's primary doctor. as i recall, he became a real person for an episode.
the point was that the eu was giving $4 million. perhaps a non-opinion news source would have been a better choice, but i quoted the first news source i found instead of wasting time finding the one that seemed like it would offend the least amount of people. perhaps the link i provided now is no good because funds are quoted in pounds instead of us dollars?
fyi: it seems more like bush bashing than america bashing. most folks living in new jersey don't hate the us. but they don't like bush (nj has voted democratic for at least the last 2 elections).
as of now, amazon claims to have collected $2,120,581.09. the us federal government pledged $35 million while the entire eu pledged $4 million. overall, nations pledged "at least $102 million" (see first link). amazon alone has collected over 50% of the eu's pledge and 2% of total aid pledged by all nations. i wonder what the red cross has collected (without amazon), as well as unicef, cidi, etc. i imagine that compared to the $102 million, private collections are NOT insignificant.
if you think that immediate response is insignificant compared to long term initiatives, then you are insane. while long term initiatives are important, people eating TODAY is more important than any long term aid. if you disagree, i challenge you to live out of a destroyed mud hut, drink dirty water and eat only what you find on the side of the road knowing that in a few weeks/months/years things may be better. see how much consilation that is...
why recompile all of amazon for a typo? hopefully, the type is only in 1 '.c' file, which would translate to one '.o' file. fix the one '.c' file and recompile. only 1 '.o' should be rewritten. then all of amazon is relinked with the new '.o'. of course, if the type is in a header, multiple '.c' files could be recompiled.
link please? i guess they independently came up with the three laws of robotics? and the concept of a 'robot psychologist'? and the detective had an awfully large amount of similarities to the descriptions of elija bailey in the detective books of the robot series... too many coincidences to not be based on the book imo
OT - nitpick of your nitpick: first off, the first law is the one about harming people. secondly, which story? i can think of 3...
1) 'liar liar': by being able to read human emotion, he knew what would harm a person mentally. so he would say whatever the person wanted to hear. after realizing that this could have negative side effects, we went into 'roblock' with a little help from susan calvin.
2) mining colony example: the second law was not modified. rather, it was not balanced with the other laws appropriatly. the third law was weighed too heavily in relation to the second law, which in turn was not balanced properly with the first law. the effect of these imbalances was the apparent removal of the phrase "or through inaction" in one particular instance.
3) scinetific research station: the first law had been modified to allow short term exposure to certain types of radiation which are not harmful in small doses. however, unless the robot knew that a certain type of radiation fell within this category, he would assume the worst and not allow the human to enter the radiation field.
at least asimov was already dead before 'i robot' was horribly basterdized. elija bailey did NOT exist in the book - those were the later books in the robot series (namely 'caves of steel', 'the naked sun', and 'the robots of dawn'). and the robots would NEVER have attacked a human (at least until 'robots and empire').
change your password when required and immediatly change it back to what it was. if they don't let you use your last 3 passwords, change when required (add a number at the end), change again (increment number at end), change again (increment number at end again), and change it back to you original.
but if the seperate organism is unable to sustain it's own life and requires a host for survival, isn't it really just a paracite? and don't people have the right to remove parasites from their system? the new conservative rally cry: people for ringworm, roundworm, and hookworm... let the parasitic worms live!!!
however, MS is also planning on buying back about 10% of the outstanding shares. this in addition to the fact that their annual dividend rate is also supposed to double would cause investors to want to hold their position, if not increase it. it would be easy enough to determine what "the experts" expect to happen based on upgrade/downgrades and recommendation trends as found on yahoo
and those of us that don't leave phone messages will never get in touch with you. a few months ago i tried calling a friend at his parents house. they do the same answering-machine screening that you do. i never left a message. i called 4-5 times within an hour. the guy's mother called me back.
i guess the moral of the story is that if someone wants to get you on the phone without leaving a message, they can piss you off until the point where you call back.

if jupiter is a ball of mostly gas, does that make earth an ugly ball of mostly water? (surface area, not total mass obviously)
you are correct, but a well-implimented id3v2 library does not have this problem. even if your current tag needs only 50 bytes, it is recommended that the tag be 512 or 1024 bytes. the 50 you need is used, the rest is NULL. this is recommended so that adding new tags (say an image or lyrics) has a chance of not needing to rewrite the entire file.
iirc, id3v2 can be stored at the beginning or end. the beginning is _recommended_ for streaming.

this assumes you have locate installed and run 'slocate' every once in a while.
no, because you would have the mind of a baby and would not be capable of understanding that you were a human mind in a mouse's body. furthermore, assuming that the mouse-boy was taught to communicate with the lab folks, he would have to be _told_ that he was a mouse boy in order to know.

i've had over 118 DAYS with my dell inspiron pIII m. of course, it was plugged into the wallmost of the time.

well... not quite. google didn't release the book search yet. but we're expecting them soon!

here's an idea to keep your old password...
change your password when required and immediatly change it back to what it was. if they don't let you use your last 3 passwords, change when required (add a number at the end), change again (increment number at end), change again (increment number at end again), and change it back to you original.
does anyone else find it annoying that these are scanned as jpg images? it might be a bit easier to read if the images were thrown into a pdf...
don't forget about the jpl image archive. they have some nice shots of most planets (in our solar system at least), including earth.
i always do my low level device programming in sh. my graphics card has never been faster!

XP uptime before upgrading to sp2
Let's see if my linux server (uptime 5 days - stupid power failure...) can handle the load...
And want to know something really interesting about that? The image looks lifelike. As in, you could almost reach in and touch it.
not a good thing with goatse
