Not only shouldn't she have to shoulder that on her own, she shouldn't have been told her choices were limited in the first place. Way to miss the point.

Abortion is only the termination of a human life if you believe life begins at conception.
My argument to anyone who has opposed abortion for other people is this - let's say I get pregnant and I do not want to carry a child to term. Are you willing to remove a, let's say, 6-week old fetus from my uterus and carry it to term yourself?
Oh, you're a man? And you don't have one? That's really unfortunate.

So the state shouldn't be involved when a man rapes or hits his wife?
And how does allowing a person freedom to choose their way make the world worse? Were things really better in the fifties, with the "bored housewife" who had nothing beyond her family and home and no identity of their own?
A friend of mine was stopped by security because they didn't believe his iBook could "turn on" so quickly - it was asleep and woke up right as he opened the lid.
Do you ever RTFA or do you just listen to other asshats on/.? They registered their domain ONE DAY before Apple announced their $99 replacement program.
There's NO QUESTION that an iPod with a removable battery could be designed?
And you were hired by Apple as a designer... when? That's what I thought. Seriously, dude, shut up.
The "hermetically-sealed" aspect of the iPod isn't just a "look," it's part of its function. I've dropped my iPod a couple of times and I would hate to think what would happen it if were easily opened - parts flying everywhere, things getting broken. I dropped mine on concrete running at full speed and it didn't even skip.
Also, thanks for your predictions about Apple's future. That is very insightful.
The iPod also charges off of the connection a standard wall outlet. In fact, I rarely leave mine plugged into my computer for longer than it takes to sync it because it'll heat up the hard drive spinning it while it's plugged in.
Do you even have any idea what you're talking about ever?
Apple wasn't going to repair the iPod for the $250. They were going to replace the entire thing, no questions. That's why it's so expensive.
And it's not thanks to Apple that we have this new scandal. It's thanks to two guys who decided to get revenge this way. iPod owners have known about the battery issues for some time now, as should anyone who is researching them to buy.
Fanboy backlash is just as ugly as fanboy-ism itself. It makes all of you look just as stupid as the fanboys you claim to be superior to.
Apple is so horrible that you have to gloat about faults at every chance? Get over yourselves.
And before I get jumped on, no, I don't think Apple is the be all and end all of computing, and no, I don't think it does no wrong. This backlash is ugly though. Grow up.
Oh, and way to answer this guy's question, jackasses.

To really answer your question, dude, I'd say try using the other software that you were using before you got iTunes to sync your iPod. See if it will go back to the way it was before, and if so, use that software.
I dunno, though. I don't really understand what about it "breaks" the iPod.
And hey, I'll quit reading into shit like that when it quits happening with alarming regularity. As soon as women reporters are taken as seriously and respected as much as men reporters are, I'll be sure to stop taking shit like that seriously. You just let me know when that happens, and I'll get RIGHT on it.
Gee, I'm completely ignorant of how the Constitution works.
Shut up, all of you. I know that the popular vote doesn't decide who is the president. Do you know why that system was put in place? Because the Founding Fathers didn't trust the common individual to be able to make such an important decision.
And look where they got us. Good thing the common man didn't elect that idiot Gore, otherwise we'd be a laughingstock in the global community. Oh, wait...
The whole point of that post was that if the RIAA hadn't pretended it was all going to go away and jumped on the Napster bandwagon before it got so out of hand, there wouldn't BE so much widespread illegal distribution of music, and therefore less effects on revenue.
It shouldn't have been written because it could so very easily be perceived as sexist, as has happened.
The reason it sounds sexist is because it is a fairly common way to demean and belittle females - the use of affectionately stupid terms, that is, treating the woman as though she is a small stupid animal. That should be clear, shouldn't it, why that is sexist? It's like saying "don't worry your pretty little head about it, the men will take care of it."
This woman is a news reporter and obviously someone thinks she knows what she's doing because she is getting published. The least she deserves is to be spoken to and about like a human being, not a less-than-intelligent dog who wants a treat.
This was written back when people actually studied how the language worked, and those comma's are NOT mistakes...
All these newbies that have no concept of how our chosen language is constructed... had best go back to school and actually STUDY the language.
Um, not to be THAT guy, but the plural of "comma" is "commas" and not "comma's." I couldn't resist the urge to deflate your little grammar tyranny platform.
More realistic driving tests = actually testing driving, putting the instructor in the car with the driver for more time, driving at night tests, better eye exams for higher-risk drivers (ie: the elderly).
It doesn't mean more realistic as in more closely resembling reality, it means more realistic as in more likely to actually test someone's ability to drive.
And why install governors? Because it has been shown that "speed kills." Isn't that how the stupid slogan went? Regardless, reducing the speed limit and/or physically limiting cars to a speed limit would prevent a number of accidents.
I'm against pulling it down to 55, but at least to 65 or 70.

Splitting an infinitive? I don't see an infinitive in that statement. Might be splitting other things, but there's no infinitive there.

Ok, when I wrote that, right as I hit "submit" I realized how that sounded.
Let me try that again.
I dropped my iPod on concrete while running and it didn't stop playing.
Sigh.
What are you even talking about? Who complains about XP?
Hell, Windows can charge whatever they want for it. I could not care less.

Good luck getting them to fulfill the terms of that warranty.
Did you notice where they say they have to try to fix it three times before they replace it? I'm wondering how that works, exactly.

Ha ha ha, I get it. Girls are tech-stupid and therefore a girl who has heard of .ogg is a keeper!

From what I remember, console makers used to all lose on the console to make up on the games, but anymore, it's only the X-Box that that happens with.

Misplaced apostrophe, by the way, AC. Nice work.
Because they're not actually going to be VCRs. She meant, I think, whatever the new VCR-like item would be. (Like TiVo or whatever other DVR.)

Since when are all mp3s illegal? I have hundreds of mp3s that were acquired through perfectly legal means - I bought a CD and then ripped it.

Gore won the popular vote. He is not our president.
Just stating two facts, if you want to glean from that that I am calling our president a thief, well, that's you. That isn't what I said at all.
