No, because Hummers get 1mpg city and 2mpg highway. Since driving cross country would be considered highway miles, you're getting twice the fuel economy!
I wouldn't exactly call the pitifully small amount of money he's set aside for hydrogen car R&D "promoting", it's more like a teeny little bit just to get the environmentalists somewhat off his back. The Bush family makes its money from oil. Not Hydrogen.
Maybe you're just the one dumb enough to drop one. It's 40gb of music in the palm of your hand. Better watch out, they are watching you, waiting for you to buy an iPod for them to steal! Quick, look behind you! But wait don't drop it!
get real. get a life. go away.
How is carrying multiple pieces along with you on trips a good thing?!? Thats a bunch of little wafer thin cards for you to lose. Not to mention you pay an arm and a leg for a poor amount of capacity. Buying 4GB of flash memory cards would cost more than buying a Mini iPod, and you still have to get the flash-based mp3 player to use them on top of that. Where's the advantage in that???
What in hell are you talking about? How is it overpriced by $100? Find me a $150 mp3 player with 4gigs of storage all in such a small enclosure with such a great interface? You're talking out of your ass, I bet you've never even touched an iPod in your life.
The decrease in size is by no means shameful when taken in proper perspective. Looking at the numerical decrease in inches isn't the best way to see the decrease, but percentage is. The Mini iPod is 20% thinner, 12% shorter, and 16.6% less wide. These are pretty damn good decreases in size, considering the already small scale we're working with here. Stop trolling and give Apple a bit of credit where it's deserved.
What are you talking about, the iPod isn't an "exclusive toy of the rich" by any means, I see them most commonly around my college campus and with young people who, in general, aren't rich by any means.
How can you even seriously ask that third question? Who in their right mind would release an audio app incapable of working at 24/44.1??? Of course it will be able to!
Why is it dumb? Flash cards are really expensive for the amount of storage you get from them compared to hard drives. Not to mention if you have multiple flash cards they are small and easy to lose - more crap to keep track of. The Mini-iPod is the hard drive based answer to the flash market - it's small, rugged, but can hold a heck of a lot more music without the hassle. Not to mention it's quite stylish.
What the hell are you talking about? Nothing he's done has worked out right at all! Afghanistan hasn't gone anywhere, we still don't know where Osama is and al Queda is still going strong. Iraq is also going nowhere, there are no WMD, only so far a weak attempt at forging documents to try and make it right (gee I wonder where those originalted from). The capture of Saddam was rather irrelivant, it's not like he even had a chance to regain power...he's really old and probably really tired. He wasn't a terrorist, had no connection to 9/11 or al Queda or anything at all except that yes he was a dictator. If we hadn't found him he probably would have spent the rest of his days living in that shithold shack they found him in or some similar place. And lets take a look at the cost of this escapade in Iraq....$87billion....and of course he "had no idea the cost" until after the fact...yeah right bullshit the government can't estimate the cost of a war, especially one like Iraq with little overall resistance...remember we overrran the country in a week. This whole war in Iraw is like Veit Nam all over again. All his "environmenal" legislation has been geared toward the destruction of the environment rather than it's preservation: the Environmental Procestion Agency ought to be renamed the Envirnmental Destruction Agency since Bush has been in power. The E."P".A is headed by former execs from power companies. His "tax cuts" were a joke, they were only meant to benefit those who need them the least, the rich, and only left a few small crumbs for the average person.He has no common sense at all, he only has a very narrow sense geared toward his and the upper class's wants and needs, which is by far the smallest group of people in America. Bush is yet to be correct about anything. Also, what's this set of balls you're talking about? Attacking random countries preemptivly does not mean you have balls, it shows you are overly worried someone else (insert country we're attacking here) might have bigger balls, so you have to go ahead and destroy them. That's not how an intelligent leader of a country operates. War ought to be the last resort, not the first as Bush has used it. Bush is a dictator himself in some sense...he basically robbed Congress of war powers through fear. Took the country into war, fueled again by fear. Mounted an attack on civil rights (Patriot Act, anyone?) once again fueled by fear. Not to mention that the election in the first place was a rather sketchy one. There's no way of knowing anymore what really happened, but the evidence seems to lean toward showing that something ill was afoot at the 2000 elections. My point, is that Bush runs this country using fear as his primary fuel for getting his way. No good leader would do this, only a dictator would. How do you think Saddam kept control of Iraq until we foolishly stepped in?
Umm have you actually watched Bush speak? He tends to stutter a lot...and it's real easy to see how uncomfortable he feels when asked about WMD in Iraq and such...
We could get the government to fund it and then distribute it in countries it is bombing along with their leaflets, to show them just how great our political system really is, and what they can look forward too. I mean, the army has a video game, so why not the government?
Because that would be the collapse of western civilization.
Just think of the people who get on "reality" tv shows now>
[shudder]
Now think of them being in political power.
[/shudder]
You should be slapped for even suggesting that.
1) Resign from your job. You're obviously not qualified if you have to "Ask Slashdot" for something this moronic.
2) Realize your question answered itself. Just think, there's not really any other logical solution aside from getting floor or ceiling outlets installed.
2) Enroll in kindergarden. Repeat education, you obviously didn't learn much the first time(s?) around.
3) ?????
4) Try to get your job back.

Unfortunately, it's not a PCI card, it's a custom Apple job.

GWB and the "good old boys" club. In tomorrow's study: how driving hummers cross-country actually helps the environment!

If they included an LCD display in the remote, that would only push the price (which you are already complaining about) even higher. Get real.

Relatively speaking, It's 20% thinner, 12% shorter, and 16.6% less wide. These are pretty "big" on a small scale if you ask me.

Or just permenantly disconnecting their brain from the rest of their body, killing them...or at least causing brain legions.
It looks like a twisted cross between Classic Mac OS 8/9 Platinum with Windows buttons jammed on the right side...
it seems the answer to the original question "Is there a legal download service for people that don't have an iPod that just works?" is no .

No it couldn't! That's blasphemous!
Though in reality, it was probably just an example, no reason to get all up in arms.
