On the surface it seemed wrong to mod down a post simply because others posted the same damn thing LATER. Don't mod me at ALL, then it will NEVER show up in the thread where only the highest modded posts are shown outright, but modding down seemed, well, stupid, not to mention a waste of mod points.
OR, you could just simply not click on the article...
You see, in fact quite a few of the articles listed on the main page are only for a subset of users. If only articles that pertained to ALL computer users were posted,/. would post an article a week.
Just sayin'...
Not to mention, there are a lot of/.'ers that use X, but are not checking the Apple only posts daily and therefore would consider this a good article for the main page, myself included.
I'm not a karma junkie by any stretch, but when I get a "redundant" score simply because I was one of the first to post something that 100 others did later isn't MY fault.
Look at the times posted, is it that hard?
*sheesh*
There was only ONE other post on the board when I started typing that.
How does this help rebuild our decrepit schools and pay the teachers of our youth a decent wage? How does this help the RICHEST nation on Earth provide health care for it's own damn children!?!?? We are one of the LAST countries to realize things like health care for all, and yet we spend trillions on war and all the goodies that go along with it. Aren't we GREAT! (US)
So THIS is how we end up spending more on our military than all other industrialized countries COMBINED.
Screw them AND us right? As long as we have all this tremendous power and can instill enough fear (yay!!), who cares! Right?
Modest Mouse is my favorite band. Goin' to see 'em 7/15 at the house of Blues in ChiTown.
Thanks for the EMusic link, iTunes only has two albums of theirs in the store, I have both of them.
How can the Drudge lack credibility. He simply finds stories, and posts links to them? If you follow the references and do your own research, like you should anyway, then the Drudge is very simply a tool, like it should only be.
The "news" used to be a public watchdog of sorts. Now, it's a ratings grabbing corporate run marketing scam. And to think of all the people gaining their world views from them and ONLY them scares the living hell out of me. If you only watch MSNBC (yes, that's MICROSFOT NBC) or Fox News to form your world view, then believe me when I say, you "live" in an extremely distorted world. A corporate view, a sponsored view, etc...
Funny how you only get the "real" news from UNsponsored media. And now we want to make it worse by consolidation? Yikes...
I mean, how many coporate sponsored media outlest (which is almost all of them, save NPR...) would report anit-American policy sentiment, or views that would damage income? Not many, I assure you. They have an "obligation" to it's "customers", which usually means "do what we say, or we stop writing checks." And THIS is where we get our news, our world view? Yikes again...
Keep listening to NPR, or even Canadian news for that matter. This is of course if you are wanting unslanted information. If not, keep watching FOXNews or MSNBC. What does the MS stand for in that name? Hmmm...
Interesting article. Too bad it assumes that a true democracy resides in the US, which is wholy untrue.
"Democracy requires dissolution of private power. As long as there is private control over the economic system, talk about democracy is a joke. You can't even talk about democracy until you have democratic control of industry, commerce, banking, everything..."

I can hear underwater, just not very well. Air carries the waves much better for us humans. In BOTH cases, though, a medium is definitely needed for us to "hear"/carry anything. In space, yes, empty space, I could crash two cymbals together two feet from your face (helmet, whatever, this is hypothetical) and you would NOT hear it. Plain and simple. You would see them crash and vibrate, but no sound at all. I know that you aren't implying that you could (I don't think so at least), but it seemed ambiguous, and wanted to clear it up.
You seemed to mention that we couldn't hear in space and equated it with our supposed inability to not hear under water, which was entirely wrong to do. I can hear in water, just not very well. I will NEVER hear anything in space, because there is nothing there for my eardrums to pick up. Nothing at all. Two very different things going on here.
Ordinary claim: How about...I saw a light in the sky travelling at incredible speeds, making extreme angled turns, beaming lights to the ground and then dissapearing into the sky.
Extraordinary claim: It was swamp gas.
Yeah, a discovery of that type is meaningless. Who needs to know if life exists elswhere. Screw discovery, who needs it. Science isn't about discovery, it's about finding out whether Mars has water on it...yay...
Wha? Are you saying that if life exists on 2 of our 9 planets, that it doesn't change the statistical probability of life elsewhere?
Not sure where you received your nominal math skills, but this certainly DOES change the probability. You see, the probability that life exists elsewhere is based on our current knowledge of how prevalent it may be. Finding life on Mars make this idea MUCH more prevalent. We are finding new planets surrounding stars every DAY. Recent modest estimates show that there may be 1-30 BILLION terrestrial planets, just in this galaxy ALONE. So, I'm sorry, but it definitely DOES change the probability estimate.
"Dr. Levin was the second scientist funded by NASA to build a life detection instrument for planetary missions to Mars. Dr. Levin has been a co-investigator for NASA's Mariner 9 misson to Mars in 1971; a Principal Investigator for the Viking Biology Team in 1976; a JPL Mox Team co-experimenter on the Russian Mars 96 mission to Mars."
Now, I'm not sure if your own credentials surpass DR. Levins, but seems only a "crazy, paranoid" person would label this man as such.
Not to mention, he's been attempting to show people his "hard evidence" for 30 years, dumbass! I can't believe you received 5 karma points for doing NOTHING more than calling this scientist "crazy" due to your inability to comprehend the fact that it may be true.
It just goes to show how disconnected the industry is with it's customers. I remember a time when music was pure entertainment. Fun. I could make tapes for my friends, I would record broadcasts for later listening They would ask me who that is, and if they liked it they would buy it. Simple as that. It's been going on since the radio was invented. It was fun, unhindered, and free. It used to be about the MUSIC.
I think the entire "industry" is very simply turning everyone off. They are the "bad" guy, WE know it, and who the hell wants to support the "bad" guy, or even show that he was right.
Screw the bastards. Kazaa them to death. They deserve it.
As soon as they started attacking, yes, ATTACKING the customer, they forgot rule number one. Don't piss off your customers. Music sales go down, they sign acts that follow the "formula" equalling some fairly crappy and unoriginal stuff, and in the end blame US?!?!
Listening to freaking music isn't a passtime anymore, it's like carrying a monkey on your back while getting through the legal spider's web filled with money grubbing executives. And WE are the problem?
Nicities? Can I burn as many CD's as I want with the downloads? Are you saying that it's worth it to me to pay $9.95 a month just so I can listen to their selected set of music, ONLY from my computer, and a Winflaver only at that? No thanks. I'll keep using iTunes. I can burn as many unhindered CD's as I want, listen to them on my iPod, and it's cheaper (see cost comparison posts below).
As soon as the iTunes service is available for Windows, this little "experiment" will expire.
It obviously shouldn't be taking 20 minutes to copy a file. There is obviously something wrong with the machine. I would suggest letting the Mac tech take a look at it. Most likely an easy fix.

I say don't insert the dildo and listen to NPR. Not that it's wrong, or anything. I just don't like dildos.
