I'm not dick-waving, I have none to wave with in terms of user id. I'm just saying negative comments tend to come from uids higher than mine, and positive from uids lower than mine. This is my observation.

I find it interesting that most of the users who complain about idle never have low uids. Not that a high uid necessarily implies a new user, but still. Most importantly, as registered users they can turn idle off completely, so WTF is all I'm saying.
The news on Fox news is still slanted, or at least tinted towards the right, based on what stories had prominent and/or enduring positions on the front page during the campaign (not to mention the "you decide"-type flamefests). It's not a terribly overt bias, though.
Eurocentrism? Nobody I know talks about "we Europeans see this-and-that". It just so happens that most of the non-american world sees the US as being on the right.
It seems both Opera and ping in Windows interpret individual parts with leading zeros as octal. More interestingly, Opera also accepts hexadecimal. That makes constructing a regexp that validates any arbitrary IP address, and not just a valid dot-decimal, a bit more cumbersome.
As far as I remember, the frequencies in any particular band are actually kept most of the time, but their amplitude is quantized into larger steps. Their amplitude would have to be truly insignificant to be completely zeroed out, and I don't think modern encoders really do that since it means essentially dropping out a whole frequency band for that frame. Too much quantizing leads to the "warbling" effect that's obvious in low-bitrate MP3's.
Lossy compression is based on subjective tuning. It doesn't matter how the encoder handles high frequencies or overtones objectively, as long as no listener can perceive any difference. Just about every lossy encoder can be made to fail horribly with some constructed test data, but that situation will never occur in practice with a good encoder (and a reasonable bitrate).
He calls himself black because that's what he identifies with. It's not up to you to decide what group he belongs to based on his skin colour and other people close to him.
While browsing through the comments on some of the news stories on foxnews.com before the election, I realised something. The news stories themselves were perhaps slightly slanted or worded towards the republican side, but nothing extraordinary that I could see.
The comments, however... were actually worse than on Youtube.
Slashdot Mirror
There's a couple of sounds in the list from failed bearings that are quite hair-raising.

What's wrong with a digital loopback? Just record the stereo mix component, or use some virtual cable software.
What might work is a strong air freshener, since they partially work by numbing smell receptors.

That raises the question: why don't airplanes have dimples like a golf ball?
McCain's would create more of that.
I think the point was that the blue states pay for all that.

Where exactly do you see all that in Western Europe?

Are IP adresses with leading zeroes usually considered invalid?

That's the tricky bit of lossy compression, and also why anyone sane uses either VBR or maximum bitrate.
If the music relies on hearing the overtones, MP3 is not a good idea as most of them will be removed!
The whole point of creating a high-quality encoder is accurately finding and retaining exactly these important overtones you speak of.

This is why idle should stay.
Sounds like for you, sex is probably overrated. Concentrate more on finding a good person.
Expiration date? Is that something like a date with death? And don't tell me what you mean by getting the freshest.

When you're young, you vote based on what you've learned. When you're old, you vote based on what you've refused to learn.
The flip side is that if America is the word police, the world would like a say in how we're policed around.
If you're having sex with your routers, you're not fully understanding porn on the internet.
