I have personally, myself, had apple replace a lost audio book after sending them an email request. I didn't read it somewhere, I did it. Took about 3 hours.
Read the FAP!! 160 mb max download, then you get kicked down to sub-dialup speeds! I tried satellite and it blew huge chunks. Web pages take a really long time to connect, maybe some kind of DNS glitch? Downloads were fast, but connection times, outages and that ridiculous 160 mb limit makes it a total ripoff, sorry.
Don't be to rash in making the wearing of leather hypocritical for vegetarians.
I've been a vegetarian since 1986, and not solely for health reasons, although I do enjoy the benefits of a healthy vegetarian diet. I'm a vegetarian because of my refusal to participate in the brutality with which food animals are treated, and the catastrophic impact meat has on the environment. I'm from North Carolina, where hundreds of thousands of hogs are slaughtered every week. I don't want to be a part of it and I'm not. By not eating meat, I enjoy better food for me and my family, lower food costs, vastly lower environmental impact, and knowledge that if everybody ate like we, the word would be a much better place.
Leather does not fit in a similar category. That is, there is no better, cheaper, healthier, more ecological alternative to a good pair of Chippewa hiking boots (proudly made in USA). Furthermore, I may buy one pair of boots every four years, a belt every five. How many pounds of beef does an average American (US) eat per year? Remember that each pound of beef permanently pollutes 1000 gallons of water. Most Americans die because of what they eat, not their shoes.
So being vegetarian and wearing leather is not hypocritical, wearing fur, yes, a belt, no.
Apple Works? You gotta be kidding! I PAID for it when I switched to Mac 2 yrs ago and I can fairly say that it's better than MS Works. But text edit is better that both of those. I've had to go to MS Word for now, though I use OOo occasionally. OOo is a real pig, MS Word crashes, gimmie KOffice!
It is spelled eunuch. They were originally harem keeping types, and there are still groups of eunuchs in some places on the Indian sub-c., I believe. Sort of wedding minstrel types.
Castratti are the contralto singers, not soprano.
Thing is, Panthers are not usually black. Panther is a variety of Leopard and not its own species.
panther Note that all of the big cats are members of genus pantera. That's probably where the name came from.
n 1: a large spotted feline of tropical America similar to the
leopard; in some classifications considered a member of
the genus Felis [syn: jaguar, Panthera onca, Felis
onca]
I'm not trying to be contrary here, but I'm not sure the banking corollary works in this case.
If I make a transfer online, and it doesn't show up in the banks system, than I can call the bank and complain. I can say, "Hey, on date x I tranfered $y and it didn't show up."
Now they can either credit my account or tell me to fuck off.
But with Evoting, I have no way of knowing that my vote was or wasn't logged. So I don't even have the option of being told to fuck off.
Furthermore, since the only record of my vote resides in a DB somewhere, and it presumably has no ID attached to it, all an unscrupulous vote-counting company would have to do is change that field in the DB. Of course, this issue has been mentioned before because of the political leanings of the companies (Diebold, etc.), but that's not the point here.
With banking there is a one-to-one relationship to each transaction made, that is,"what happened to unique transaction x?" They could still lose or steal the money, but there is a specific ID assigned to the disputed entry. "We have no record of unique transaction x, please press # to file for bankruptcy."
Voting is completely annonymous, "Where is my vote?" would be answered with "It's in there, somewhere." And so there is no way (that I can think of, anyway) of performing any kind of audit.

Please spare me your insensitivity. As a proud American, I would never sympathize with ALL Muslims, and I am deeply offended by you suggestion that I do. It's only the pig-killing terrorists that I sympathize with.
Since you are clearly a feeble minded idiot, I'll point to the use of irony in this post, dipshit.

I'm not agreeing with the grandparents post, but, in point of fact, tens of thousands of his precious Muslims are already filling ditches to overflowing. Saddam, and Osama, and the Taliban, and the Shah, and the Saud family, and Musharraf, and both Bushes and Thatcher, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Marcos, Kissinger, and you and me are responsible for it.
Notice that I'm not a scared little pussy who uses AC.
Started CS last year with a refurb tiBook (my 1st mac). Our projects are JAVA/C/C++. Everything is great, I can work on projects anywhere, and 10.3 has a new development environment. The only problem is all the other students and teachers drooling over my machine.
About the student ADC membership, Apple says "NOTE: Please note that the ADC Student Program Membership does NOT include access to the ADC Seeding Program." Meaning no free pre-release software.
Oh, bugger.
I have a mac powerbook g4 500mhz. I also have a win2k box (p4 1.2ghz) acting as a SOHO network server. The win2k machine crashes 2x a week. And what's more, with the same amount of ram, a faster HD, and a processor that's 2.5 times as fast, the WinBox is far slower at photoshop rendering.
I have had my mac for a year and a half and it has indeed crashed; once. The windows machine has required a hard reboot at least 200 times since I got it.
The windows box is exactly as it was sold by Compac, with the exeption of a firewire card.
The fact that he is so stupid that he can't pronounce 3-syllable words seems like a pretty bad thing to me. Perhaps my standards are too high.
Oh, then there's the part about lying to the American people in order to invade a country, negotiating with terrorists, crippling clean air standards that the EPA says will kill 15000 Americans every year, can't read, etc.
But Peterson was CHARGED WITH A CRIME. Before Ashcroft, a person could not be jailed witout charges, (yes, I know about Lincoln,ca. 1863). "Because you have a beard and a tan" was not considered a reason to put someone in jail until U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.
BTW, I heard intel is developing the Kafka chip, using Nationalist Hubris technology.
I was in Vienna for 8 weeks, no TV, working 3 hrs a day. I perfected; beer drinking, pidgin German, and, most satifying, whistling. Not the normal kind, but the loud, through the teeth, no fingers call a dog or taxi type. I sat in my apartment and practiced until I could rattle the windows.
During the LA riots, the news people would say,"I'm at the corner of $X and $Y streets and the Circuit City's busted open and there are no cops anywhere!" And then there would be a Nivenesque riot. It was wierd. I could actually see it happening.

Just get a Mac, dude. Then you can choose to see the HTML images after you see who it's from, by clicking on a pretty lozenge-like button.

Yeah, search google for unlock phone.
The tmobile person I talked to said that number-portability requires you get a NEW #. Then that one will be portable. Seems stupid, right?
