I think DeeKayWon's point was more that people are automatically (and incorrectly at least in this one case) assuming that AAC takes more CPU to decode than MP3 than it was anything else.
Nobody in their right mind would use AAC or WMA for non-encrpyted files
I'd say that's a bit of an overstatement. While I personally still use MP3, I know several people who have made an informed decision based on their own usage and decided that AAC fits their needs best. I don't know a great deal of Windows users, but I imagine there are some out there that actually enjoy WMA.
I used to play Q1 with some guys who were completely inept. Eventually I just started what I termed the choo-choo train, where I'd run laps on dm6 with the grenade launcher, with the firebutton held in. They never succeeded in killing me, and I had a hilarious time just seeing their faces as they were trying to get each other with the shot gun only to see me running through the room with a hail of explosions following.
If so it would be hilarious if they included the Norse mythology. Giant cosmic cows & people coming out of salt/armpits/etc & skulls being used to create the firmament!

About a year ago I was trying to get money at an ATM, but for some reason I just couldn't get it to accept my PIN. Then about a week later I realized I'd been using the PIN from 3 credit cards ago. The brain works in mysterious ways.
You can usually convince people that he catches it in his mouth & swallows it. I've done it with a few of my friends. Then a few weeks later, they go "heeey, that was a load of bullshit!"
Nobody has made this joke before! Also, nobody on slashdot is married, with children, or have otherwise even seen a girl! That is, can we stop the self-perpetuating stereotypes? I think it's pretty dumb, especially if you look at it in the context of this story.
Note: I do in fact have a girlfriend. Also I know a guy who's actually pretty gross and even he has a girlfriend. For Christ's sake, just go talk to people. Fuck!
I can't even begin to figure out how they would identify her as a "pirate". I thought they usually went by IP addresses and such, but how can you tie one to someone who doesn't have a computer?
According to Francis Fukuyama, the abolishment of apartheidis an indirect result of the need for the free movement of workers (and the following influx of black Africans into the predominantly white cities) in a modern liberal democracy.
Note: I haven't finished the book (End of History) yet, and some of it reads quite like capitalist propaganda, so make what you will of it.
The other thing that was odd, was the closer to the present it got, the slower it came back.
While I'm not a cognitive scientist, I am thinking that could be because earlier memories have been remembered thousands of times, and reinforced all the more during each remembrance. Newer memories haven't had that reinforcement yet, and the neural connections will be weaker. Perhaps?
We can only hope. Jobs seems to have a knack for finding qualified people. If he were to run Disney, I am sure they'd turn around their last what, 20 years? of ferschlugginer dreck

Or you could get a gang of baseball players to knock down the copseyes with chunks of concrete & have Ron Cole take a look at it.
Just don't come running to me when you can't get any drinking water!
To me it seems to be fairly random.
One set of Apple earphones lasted for 2+ years, even after I had to duct tape part of the wire that had gotten exposed.
A second set of no-names I got after those lasted less than 6 months.
A third set of Apple earphones only lasted a couple of months.
The fourth set I got, no-name earphones are currently just over a year with no problems.
Hah too late, I saved your post in my calendar. Get ready to be called out!

Looks kinda like AppleScript.
*insert examples here*

I don't mind apple stories, but they should at least be somewhat interesting. This is retarded fluff.

It's just so much easier to unquestioningly accept anything at face value.
As fas as I can tell it's a LaunchServices hole.

They'd just add "... for a handheld device" to all patent applications ;)
pls to be posting more pirate cliches!

You know we're quite a few europeans (read healthy, pretty & able to marry each other) on here ;)
Uh that is pretty much what the first one was about.

My biggest gripe with WMA/WMV is that the player is really terrible and awkward to use. It's a terrible bungle of a UI and ugly to boot.
