That is the complete list that I have ever heard on the radio, in nearly 20 years of listention almost exclusively to "classic rock" radio. Anything else would only be known to people who own the CD, which is by definition, Rush fans.
In my over 35 years of radio listening, I've heard "Circumstances" on the radio rather often. Not recently, mind you, but when the album came out it was pretty frequent. I've also heard "Bastille Day" and "Passage to Bangkok" OTA too.
If I own the album, not the CD, does that not make me a Rush fan?
buggy and ever-crashing, filled with neat gimmicky software that's more or less unusable for real tasks. I guess the address book and calendar were fine [...] Music and photos were slow to transfer
Do you work in the arts? Otherwise, and I'm not trolling here, how are music and photos relevant to what you call "real tasks"?
I've owned several Palm units going back to the PalmPilot Personal and none of them have been buggy or ever-crashing (unless you're confusing Palm with WinCE?), and they've all everything I've ever asked of them. Granted, I don't try to use them as full-blown computers, but still, I think they do what they're supposed to.
My problem with these two new models is the lack of vibrating alarms. I conduct a lot of online training (Centra, etc.) and having an audible alarm go off to tell me "Hey! It's time to change topics!" just isn't cool ('cause you don't want the participants hearing it); having something buzz relatively silently on my desk is much better. Looks like I'm still stuck with my two-year-old Tungsten|T2.
I think calling "typo" might be more appropriate. It looked like it was supposed to be "there are no more offices in America."
In which case I call bullshit again, since as soon as I make VP in my large corporation I'll get an office along with all the other VPs. Just because they put us AVPs and other drones in cubes doesn't mean there aren't offices to be had as well.
When you avail yourself of my free entertainment services you are not my customer. You are my product
Wha...? No, I'm your customer. Your talent (or lack of it -- I haven't seen you do your thing, unless you're the guy who was in Times Square this morning in which case you're pretty good) is your product.
I think you might have some issues with the whole buyer/seller relationship. I can't afford to misunderstand this as my income is derived from it directly
in the last 20 years of work in a variety of positions, some of which have nothing to do with management or software, there are no more cubicles in America. If you think you need one then you'll either have to work in a small company, your own company, or start a Union
I call bullshit here on several levels. I've worked in IT for an incredibly successful, multinational insurance brokerage for ten years, and as I look around the floor all I see are cubicles. When I go to the fifth floor, I see cubes. Sixth, seventh, eighth -- yep, cubes. I work one day a week at corporate HQ, where the brokerage operations are, and all the brokers have cubes too. Hell, I'm in a cube right now.
You can't pack three t-shirts into 108 cubic inches
If you can't pack 3 t-shirts into that small a space, you're obviously not the type of person who can travel indefinitely out of one carry-on-sized bag.
I was able to hear Dvorak's Enter the New World crystal clear on nano's lowest volume setting while jackhammers busted up the street outside my window and parrots squawked within a meter of my ear.
Are the jackhammers and parrots responsible for the typo? You were referring to Antonin Dvorak's Symphony #9, "From the New World", yes? Or has John Dvorak put out a new podcast that I missed somehow?
Oh, dude...in high school I had this old Baldwin sold-state amp. 2 x 10", about 60w RMS, 2 channels, reverb, tremolo. Nice, clean amp. Of course, it wouldn't distort worth a shit until I blew out the speakers (but that's another story). Loved that amp, especially after I got my first fuzz box (a Ross Distortion).
Then once I got to college I bought a Polytone Mini-Brute II and a DOD Phaser 201. The combination of the Mini-Brute's built-in distortion with the fuzz and the phaser made for some trippy Adrian Belew-like feedback.
After freshman year I bought a guy's Kustom 1 x 12" and his Cry Baby and Big Muff. This was heaven! I used this setup (Gibson SG-200, Polytone, Kustom, Big Muff, Cry Baby, phaser) from 1981 to a couple of years ago when I moved into my new place. Limited space (and the wife) forced me to downsize to the Gibson and a Pignose.
However, now we are subject to "random searches" of backpacks and other large items. This is clearly not constitutional! The cameras were a first step. Now they can randomly search anyone.
It's funny, but I have yet to even see a cop doing a bag check during my daily commute. And that's on two subway lines and the PATH, each way.
Some yahoo wrote a letter to the Daily News a week or so ago that said "anyone who objects to the random bag checks on the subway obviously never goes to a concert or sporting event because they check your bags there too." Sure, but there they check everybody. No exception. If they were to figure out an efficient way to do that on the subway I'd have less of a problem with the searches.
About a decade ago, when the Olypics were in the US, there was a pizza delivery business in the same city as the games. It was named "Olypic Pizza".
The olypic games' sponsorship branch sued the pants off the small-business owner, to get him to change the name of his business. Eventually he had to relent, after the legal fees nearly bankrupted him.
Why did he fight it? Simple. The store was NAMED AFTER HIM, and he had been in business WITH A TRADEMARK ON "OLYPIC PIZZA" FOR OVER 10 YEARS!
So because the olypic sponsors didn't to eal with the "ambush advertising" this guy represented, he had to give up the business name he had in the area FIRST, his trademark, and couldn't even use his full name during local interviews.
If memory serves me right, this happened in New York City. It was the Olympic Coffee Shop on the corner of Delancey & Allen Streets. All the owner had to do was stop using the Olympic Ring logo, not give up the name.
The funny part is that the logo had been there so long that when the owner removed it I could still see it in the building's un-weathered concrete facing when I went past it on the bus every morning.
And Agenda!! Does anyone remember Lotus Agenda (a DOS app)? The PIM of the Gods! The most amazing open-ended information manager ever created, yet never to be seen or even re-envisioned again, like some kind of super-advanced crystal-technology from Lost Atlantis! Lotus replaced it with the cartoonish Organizer for Windows, and Life Turned a Page.
Welcome to my Friends list, RobotRunAmok. Agenda ran my life for several years. My last copies of Agenda install disks finally bit the dust on 9/11 (but that's a story for another time) -- I had them hanging around on my desk because I just loved the damn product so much.

Crap, I'm getting all misty now.
