about 8 months ago i bought a NAPA mp3cd player (model dav311).
my friend reccomended it as a great deal for the money ($120CDN). it SEEMED good for the first little while, but overall, i am upset with the little bugs, such as:
- the player randomly decides to skip to the next track. this didn't seem to be a big deal until i started listening to more hour-long dj sets. if you're right in the middle of a good set and it skips, it's VERY ANNOYING! the fast-forward takes about 10 seconds to skip 1 minute, so this isn't much fun at all.
- the player DOES read multisession discs, but only sometimes. it is not uncommon for me to have to rescan the disc up to 5 times to recognize the other sessions.
- it skips like mad unless the mp3 cd was burned at 1x. how the heck do i burn at 1x with my 24x, all the software offers the lowest setting of 8x. i am using my old 2x burner without BURN-proof.
- it is supposed to play VCDs, and indeed, it does, but i cannot get a non-fuzzy picture out of it, and no sound at all. i would have returned it under warranty for this reason alone if i had realized before the warranty period ended.
all in all, i have gone through a lot of frustration in using this player during my commute every day. i am looking to buy a RAM based one because of the smaller size, lower weight, and unskipability.
it's called adding detail to a story. people are not homogenous asexual droids, they are people, and we're all different. next time you read a book, think how bland it'd be if there were no descriptions of people.
Fly enough of those things and the law of statistics will have them crashing into people's homes. People are a little sensitive about those kinds of things these days...
boo hoo, some shit happened, some people died, some shit got fucked up.
who cares? the terrorists have already won. your country is straining under the stress imposed by all your restrictions on freedom, which, ironically, are all in the name of fighting terrorism.
want some advice? sit back with a cold one, cuz the world is going to shit and there's not a thing anyone can do about it.
Anyone contemplating objecting to CPCC's proposed statement must realize that the Copyright Act sets out a number of limits on what the board may or may not do. No purpose is served by objecting to the proposed statement based on grounds about which the Board can do nothing. In the following paragraphs, we summarize some of the limits imposed on the Board's powers in this matter:
(1) The Board must certify a tariff and set a levy. (blah blah blah, everything else..)
The board is only setting the rate of tarriff. Also, contrary to what some people think, this tax/tarrif/levy/whatever-they-decide-to-call-it-fr om-paragraph-to-paragraph applies to ALL of the described media, NOT merely that which is imported. Yes, Canadian made, Canadian sold cd media fall under the classification.

.. take pictures of the lunar rover and landing module?
i mean, it's not like they've gone anywhere. the evidence is in plain sight, right above our heads.
so where are the pictures?

but the real question is, what happened to all the fossils?

well, you could always actually follow the link and check out the pictures, as suggested. i know, it's a bold move, but i think you're ready for it.
