    This compatibilty only relates to using MP3's that you rip yourself,from itunes on different devices . The OP was saying that if you want to use the AAC files from the Itunes Music Store you have to use an ipod, unless you use one of the previously mentioned methods for copying to cd and then re-ripping to MP3

    One of the basic tenets of Christianity is the spreading of the gospel. Your intolerance to their religious beliefs is akin to you forcing your religion, or lack thereof, on them.

    I think its kind of silly to put them on the spot. Do you ask United way how where all the cash goes. No, they give you a list of services they provide and leave it up to them to decide how to provide those service.

    If a church takes a collection to build a new roof, do they have to itemize the beams and nails for the congregation.

    As a a registered non-profit, I can assure you the IRS will keep better tabs on their donations then you can.

    I am in no way affilliated with Wikipedia, but if you don't trust them, don't donate.

    This is also targeted at the large share of households who might not be able to afford to go down to Best Buy and plop down 400 bucks for a PC, but could probably swing a monthly payment of $24. Its exactly this market AOL is aiming for, those who can't afford to shell out the upfront cost of the computer. For these people, its either that or get a piece of crap computer at Rent-a-Center for $50 bucks a months. 400 dollars is a lot of money to alot of people.

    Not to sound like a total capitalist pig, but do you think companies would invest in someone like Lebron James if he didn't do something for them? Like make them money? Which allows them to hire more people. People who might hate their $1 job, but hey its better the not working at all. Contrary to popular belief, most companies aren't raking in the dough based on huge profit margins (with the exception of the recording industry), but rather make up for the slim margins by selling in huge volume. Huge volumes requires huse salesmanship

    Lebron James gets more then the person making the shoe because he sells the shoes. its a proven fact in advertsing that celebrity spokesman can sell more widgets. Without money spent on advertising and sponsoring celebrities, whose gonna buy the goods these people are making?

    There is no Title X, at least that I could find. I think you are thinking of the Electronic Communications Act of 1986. This did extend to computer the say provisions as the phone when it comes to wiretaps and such. However, it does not prohibit an employer from monitoring the communication systems that they own. The important thing is that you must notify the user that their communications are subject to monitoring. This usually take sthe from of a written document saying as much that each employee signs when they start.

    As long as your company makes it clear ahead of time that any and all communications on company computers is monitored and that the User has no expectation of Privacy, then the users can't complain.

    I suggest you have your HR folks read the act and the applicable case law more carefully. You can and should be monitoring what happens on your companies network.

    Responsibilty doesn't end at the mother. The fact of the matter is that Meth is an illegal substance that does physical, monetary & social damage. Yes alchohol does the same thing, but we as a society have declared it legal. That does not mean we have to approve of everything. Society has decided that the risks involved with meth are greater then alchohol and hence we have passed laws against it. If you don't like that, fine try and change the law, but good luck. By that account I guess we could sell tactical nuclear weapons on the open market and the only people to blame are those that use them. Ever stop to consider the costs that taxpayers pay to clean up meth labs. Toxic chemicals so foul and unstable they can blow a house up and require men in bunny suits to clean up after? As I said earlier, dumbass.

    Also don't forget the increased crime rate from addicts stealing, robbing and murdering to get their next fix.

    If you honestly think marijuana/ or any other drug for that matter is a harmless drug, then your are horribly naive, My wife and I do foster care for the state and I've seen first hand the affects these harmless drugs have on these addicts children. Not just the absolute physical torture that being born addicted causes, but the severe emotional damage caused by living in a house where mommy's more concerned with getting her next joint. Some of these parents who "just use pot" are just as bad as the ones using meth, or crack.

    Maybe you can handle smoking pot, but many of them can't. And after seeing the carnage it causes to society by the those that can't, it definitely worth it to me to keep it illegal.
