You don't need a digital radio, programs like StationRipper (http://www.ratajik.com/StationRipper) have been around for quite a while that let you save songs from streaming radio (like Shoutcast) as mp3's, including the correct tags.
They said better, thats why they are moving everything....
I call shenanigans. CEO's go for cheaper, never for better. And once they see the quality drop (which it will) and they get sick of working at night to be on India's time, our jobs will be back, just watch.
Telstar 401 out of serviceJanuary 17, 1997: 1:01 p.m. ET
Satellite's failure could cost AT&T several hundred million dollars
NEW YORK (CNNfn) -- AT&T said on Friday that it has been unsuccessful in its attempts to re-establish contact with Telstar 401 and has declared the satellite permanently out of service. The satellite's telemetry and communications abruptly stopped early Saturday morning, the company said.
The satellite, which began malfunctioning last weekend, was used to transmit network TV programs. The problem has been invisible to TV viewers because AT&T said it immediately restored service for customers whose contracts called for transfer of their transponder service to Telstar 402R, and restored other services as well.
In addition to traffic from ABC and other networks, the satellite carried signals from syndicators, resellers and educational networks. An AT&T spokesman said this is the first time AT&T has ever seen a satellite broadcast successfully and then fail completely.
On September 25, 1996, AT&T agreed to sell AT&T Skynet Satellite Services to Loral Space & Communications. Skynet consisted of three satellites, one of them more than ten years old. The loss of Telstar 401 significantly reduces the value of Skynet and could cost AT&T several hundred million dollars.
Telstar was launched in late 1993 and started serving customers early in 1994. It is highly unusual for a satellite to fail so quickly. The satellite was manufactured by Lockheed Martin.

Well, once the guy in the article covered the "unused fan openings" (aka air-inlets ) the article was wide open for ridicule..
Fans exist to displace hot air in a pc with cool air from the outside, if you block the inlets for the entry of the cool air, the fans will only circulate the air inside the pc, which will continue to get hotter as the components give off heat.
When you can get a can of Expanding Foam for $2.79 at Home Depot. Just stick the nozzle into the fan grille opening and fill 'er up till foam comes out the floppy drive slot and all 8 corners. It will get real quiet and work much better than the tiles.

Well, maybe he should have used the Chewbacca Defense...
In the "Chef Aid" episode, Chef is accused of trying to steal the song "Stinky
Britches," which he really wrote many years ago. The record company takes
Chef to court, and they hire Johnny Cochran to prosecute Chef. The whole
town is wondering if he will use his famous "Chewbacca Defense," which he
used during the O.J. Simpson trial. Here's a transcript:
Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, I have one
final thing I want you to consider: (pulling down a diagram of Chewie) this
is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca
lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense!
(jury looks shocked)
Why would a Wookiee -- an eight foot tall Wookiee --
want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not
make sense!
But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: what
does that have to do with this case? (calmly) Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen,
it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company,
and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen,
I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury
room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it
make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make
sense.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense
rests.
Later in that same episode, Cochran has a change of heart and defends Chef
when Chef sues the record company. Again, he uses the Chewbacca Defense,
although with some minor changes:
Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, you must
now decided whether to reverse the decision for my client Chef. I know he
seems guilty, but ladies and gentlemen... (pulling down a diagram
of Chewbacca) This is Chewbacca. Now think about that for one moment -- that
does not make sense. Why am I talking about Chewbacca when a man's
life is on the line? Why? I'll tell you why: I don't know.
It does not make sense. If Chewbacca does not make
sense, you must acquit!
(pulling a monkey out of his pocket) Here, look at
the monkey. Look at the silly monkey! (one of the juror's heads
explodes)

Man, I'd mod you up if I had points tonight.
Whoever modded this troll should be kicked in the teeth with a steel toed boot. Idiot moderators.

Sueing 12 year old girl? They should be ashamed of themselves.
I live at Hampton Beach, enjoying the A/C tonight, thanks Seabrook.
is to simply round them up and summarly execute them by beheading on tv, preferably pay per view.
That would get the message across.
Yeah but what about the fan(s)?
