    With keyword search, there's dozens of websites I don't have to "visit" to use. This just seems like a more intelligent version.

    $69 is expensive to you????

    Considering I've almost never had to pay for a keyboard in my life (I still have 3 extra just sitting right next to me), yeah, $69 is a lot.

    I was over at a friend's house and he had one of these newfangled keyboards, and I gotta say I was impressed. Much nicer to have that info there than cluttering up screen real estate.

    it was Dr. Manhattan's package that those seven people were turned off by (my sister said it was like watching porn)

    If your sister likened the Doctor's blue dong to porn, she is into some freaky shit.

  7. Re:What's the big deal? From the FPFC website on YouTube Music Content Takedown Continued · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If Google doesn't want to pay the rate, so doesn't broadcast the music, I don't see the issue. Lower the rate and maybe Google will pay.

    I know! These idiots want to get paid for their work, but instead of working with Google or just setting up their own site, all they can think of is to bitch. Come to think of it, this is the we-don't-have-the-budget-for-flesh-eating-lawyers version of what the RIAA is currently doing.

    You're advocating a reduction in lifestyle, logically leading to de-industrialization.

    He needn't bother. Peak Oil's doing that all by itself. Unless of course we manage to make some changes in our lifestyle to mitigate that de-industrialization.

    Stop hating on the hippies

    To be clear, I'm not hating hippies, especially as I consider myself one. However, I do understand the current narrative, and that's fine by me. Somebody's got to be the bogeyman, especially so if they don't actually have any power.

  19. Re:Or they're terrified on Study Finds the Pious Fight Death Hardest · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Perhaps its actually that those who cling less to religion are comfortable with the idea that life is finite

    That's how it works for me.

    Around the age of 5 or 6, I was introduced for the first time to whatever the current life expectancy chart was at the time. For males, the average was 72. Now, I understood that anything could happen and I could pop my clogs a lot sooner, but I distinctly remember thinking "72? Sounds like a good run." And since that day, I've lived my life largely based around the knowledge that by the time I'm 70-80, I better have gotten to do all things I've wanted to do.

  20. Re:Now about that 32GB issue... on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    It's also nice for playing stuff for friends who may not have heard some specific song that you have.

    Then hand in your geek card. It's trivial to set up a password protected web frontend for your music collection. Put it on a high port, and the best part is - no HTML. Directory listing is your friend. With a decent broadband connections on both ends, I can stream any of my mp3s in better than real time anywhere in the world, and have done. Makes fretting about what to put on the ipod a lot easier.

  21. Re:Now about that 32GB issue... on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    You just need better playlists. I've got well over 150 GB of mp3s and a 16GB ipod touch (with almost 2 GB of that taken up by photos/apps/movies), and I've got it cycling my music just fine.

    Why would the important consideration be that he was never convicted,

    Because you still technically exist in a Nation of Laws. And his status under the law is the only one that matters, at least in general. That's why, you know, he's a professor, and not dead or in jail. If you don't like that, your problem's not with him, but the system.

    randomly

    Have you listened to or read Ayers at all? His goals and actions were not random: His objective and targets were clear.
