Thanks, I've had my second gen iPod for a year and a half and I didn't know about the menu -> backlight button until now. RTFM is for suckers! Ahem. It was so easy to start using it I didn't feel the need for it, it's so thin I didn't think there was much point. I found the menu + play/pause for reset thing online when I needed that. This eliminates one of my little peeves with it: having to go back to settings and turn the auto backlight off when using it in sunlight. Wohoo!
That's because they don't have a database, they're actually searching the whole internet for every search! Revolutionary! They start at microsoft.com so of course searches for Microsoft will be quick, they don't have to go very far to fill up the first page of search results. For other things they have to crawl further out on the internet until they find enough stuff. Don't blame Microsoft if it's slow, it's the Internet that's too slow. With adequate pipes all the whole Internet would be at your fingertips immediately. Amazing! Changed pages will show up immediately in this wonderful search engine, no more need to wait for google to catch up!
If that's the sacrifice I have to make for the cause to change this injustice, then so be it. I shall name Michael Moore as the father, for then I will also get a funny film about it out of the whole thing. I shall enjoy watching it in the prison tv room.
Now, for the first step in my plan: A sex change operation.
If you're only looking for different songs and not the whole album, you'll probably skip those interludes though, no? If you buy the whole album, those songs shouldn't add much to the price. I say 'should' because I've no idea about the actual state of things there.
You answered your own question. 3PO gets a memory wipe, R2 does not. This actually explains why R2 knows about his "former master" and knows exactly where Obi-Wan and yet 3PO has no clue about what's going on. In case you didn't notice in the originals, 3PO is quite the blabermouth and was awefully quick to suggest surrender.
Obi-Wan must get a memory wipe as well then since he can't remember ever owning a droid in Ep IV
The fact that it gives us a hard on is enough to make it special, I'd say. The windows dos box cursor doesn't even make "little beowulfcluster" twitch.
Zinf doesn't have a subheading to sort stuff under genre though, unless I've missed something. That's something I like. I also find it easier to browse and select songs from the table view used by iTunes than from a tree like in Zinf. iTunes is definitely not perfect (at least the windows version, haven't used it on a mac) but it gets much right.
All of your quotes come from the Old Testement of the Bible
Do they? Do they really?
"Marriage in the United States", "neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law","it is required that you get your dad drunk and have sex with him (even if he had previously offered you up as a sex toy to men young and old), tag-teaming with any sisters you may have."
The quotes you give seem strange if you stop right there and don't go on to read the rest of the Bible
I think they would seem strange even after reading the whole Bible. Whoever modded the grandfather informative must have been looking for a +1 Funny-mod metamod.
Some Tolkien society people I know are hard at work producing a dvd version with elvish subtitles for all the english dialogue instead of the other way round. I doubt it will be available to anyone but their members, but you have to admire/fear the geek factor.
The iTunesHelper is for importing and burning cds, apparently. They would be fine if the installation would inform you it will put them there and give you an option not to, but it doesn't. If you don't go find it and disable it yourself, you'll have an iPodService running even if you don't own an iPod. If you don't want to use iTunes to import and burn cds and disable the iTunesHelper service, you'll get a dialog every time you start iTunes warning you about it. There is no 'yes I know and I don't care, stop nagging me about it' option to check.
The Wheel of Time would be better as a 'daytime drama' tv series. It has that soap opera kind of flow to it. Things drag on and on and on and on and ON without much new stuff really happening. I stopped after book six when it felt I'd been reading the same book over again since book two.
The only thing that solid state and digital amps do well is suck. I use a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, and i wouldnt have it any other way.
I went through all the digital alternatives and gave them an honest try for about a year and a half before coming full circle. Now there's a Vox AC 30 standing where the digital stuff used to be. Glowing tubes and all. There's a DSL 50 on the way also. People might think guitar players seem a bit conservative or old fashioned or whatever when they won't leave their tube amps for digital but it comes down to the fact that the digital modelling simply is not quite there yet. It's close and getting closer all the time but 'almost' is not good enough for many of us. When it IS there I'll be happy to retire the Vox. The convenience of digital is great compared to the tube stuff but convenience doesn't mean anything if the sound is not right.
What's the monstrosity used in Operation Swordfish (or whatever that Travolta/Berry film was called)? Real virus writers throw 3d models of viruses looking like dna models around several monitors while sipping wine and mumbling 'eternal destruction', don't you know?
With Powertab you get a graphical score above the tabulature. It looks more like tabs from tab books and magazines, not like the ASCII tab files from OLGA and similar sites.
I don't know what kind of guitar you play but Powertab (www.power-tab.net, free as in beer, windows only) is a pretty nice app for writing and printing guitar tab. Since you mention the cello, I suspect most of the tabs found at the tab sites might not interest you very much but there you go.
I wouldn't normally be interested in King Kong, but Jackson has earned enough of my respect for me to go see it no matter what any critics say about it.
In other words he's the anti George Lucas (for now). I thought he did a good job with the movies but he had some help with the story from the books. As a fan of the books I'd have gone and seen these movies no matter what the critics said but why someone would go and see a remake of a movie he isn't interested in just because of the director (fanboy mentality?) is something I don't quite get.
MySQLFront is my choice as well. I've been using 2.4 for about 2 years and it still serves me well. Nice to see it's alive again and I hope it will live up to the old one if it is indeed a new app under the same name. Will check it out later today!
Windows only, free as in beer, but pretty nice for what it is. It seemed to have gone away for a while but now they're back. Anyone know what happened there?

So did life imitate art or the other way round, i.e was the dot known when the book was written?
Hahaha, "Let's go surfing now, everybodys learning now" translated into alien language, sung by the band from the Mos Eisley canteen. I can't wait.

Some of us remember a time when "real" storage was 30 megs.
Ah, the good old days before Napster and mp3s, when men were men and sheep ran scared.

Triangle players are dedicated artists who devote just as much time and energy to master their instruments as, say, tambourine players.
You insensitive clod.

The last one is about France NOT extraditing some people to the US, not the other way around. Or did I miss something?
Either way, does the US extradite people all the time (or any time) for crimes committed in the US?

They'd get mad props in the FLT and DVN

You could show the boss MySQLFront also.
