A 45MB WAV file compressed down to a 3.5MB MP3 file is losing a lot more than 0.01% of the data.
If you really believe that, then you don't know much about compression. Heck, even FLAC can turn a 45mb wav into a 25 mb file with NO loss of data (as FLAC is lossless compression). Going from 45mb wav to 3.5mb wav doesn't mean 92+% of the data has been removed, it simply means that by various compression methods (including, but not limited to removal of what the compressor perceives as non-audible signals and superfluous information) 45mb of data can be represented by 3.5mb of data.
3. Despite being a techie and part time programmer where accuracy and preparation are paramount, I NEVER obey a recipe. Cooking is always about tasting and making things up as you go along, I cannot stand the formality around eating - serve it up with a nice wine or two to friends and just get on with enjoying it.
Ugh. I, too, am a techie geek and I find when I deviate even the slightest from a recipe, I create something that you could use as an adhesive to hold the tiles on the Space Shuttle.
I actually have the opposite problem. I never follow a recipe either and my food turns out wonderful. My problem though lies with reproduction of that recipe again. My wife will love something I make and chance are she'll never have it the same again because I made it up as I went along and even if I knew exactly how to reproduce it I have an uncontrollable urge to vary from the recipe in order to further my knowledge of cooking. It's almost as if I am using (a very simplified and less rigorous version of) the scientific method when cooking. Hypothesize about what adding a little more of a certain flavor will have on the overall dish and experimenting to verify my results. It's no fun doing an experiment that you already know the results of!
Go watch Deja Vu. The movie is not going to win any Oscars, nor are the physics 100% pristine, but it does have an interesting proposal on effects preceding causes and causal feedback loops.
No clear link exists as of now, but current reports show that there was some friction between Benoit and his wife due to the high demand of caring for their child.
The "These are the steps that we have taken to insure that this does not happen in the future" part.
It's in there, just a little obscured. If you look at their link to IdeaStorm you'll see that they have implemented that user's idea which changes their response policy to blogs revealing "confidential" information.
You can go even further than that. At work where I deploy software to around 1500 Windows boxes, we have gotten quite a few Macs. So about a month ago I got a nice iMac on my desk to learn so I could do the same for our Macs. After taking a Mac class and playing around I was beginning to enjoy it. After finding Parallels I'm going to buy a Mac. If I can run any OS X app and any windows app (including games) why would I choose anything else?
Well you are actually an anomaly. I've only bought 2 VC titles so far, and going by the sale totals it looks like 7.4 million Wiis sold compared to 4.7 million VC downloads which actually mean that on average there are about 2 VC downloads for 3 Wiis.
AMEN! My job involves remotely administering and installing software to computers around the world. And by that I don't mean I VNC in and click Next, Next, Next, Finish. I'm talking rolling out software to 1000+ machines at once. MSIs make this job SO much simpler. I know (with a high degree of certainty) that if someone hands me an MSI to deploy I can throw on some parameters to it and it will install without user interaction. InstallShield? Makes you script out a test install, even if you want the default options (which I almost always do). NSIS? I have yet to find two installers that take the same parameters to install silently, if at all. Like I said, I wish all installs were MSI.

I imagine CNL would look similar to this.
That reminds me of the coke commercial where Coke is suing Coke Zero for "Basic Taste Infringement."
GP is probably referring to Kenneth Foster Jr..
Had a similar experience with Fatal Frame 2. In the beginning. When your sister puts her hand on your shoulder.
*shudder*
Fatal Frame series == pooped pants
Depends if it's grassy. Those tend to cause the most cranial damage.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!

GoldenEye isn't a good game. It's a GREAT game.
Incorrect. It's fundamentally meaningful in the context of whether he would spend the next %X years in prison or not.

And Altiris also, which I use to manage 1500 boxes (with about 1% of that being OS X and the rest Windows).
Or, more likely, your net losses + net gains would likely track a similar pattern to the index of the stock markets you invested in.
I would pay DEARLY to play (what I consider to be) the greatest console RPG of all time, L:TSS.
IAAC, and I agree. This isn't about religion at all.

But for a majority of the ever elusive 18-24 voter demographic MySpace IS the internet.
