I have a music collection that is larger than the iPod's HD - at least larger than the discs of those I can afford. How does iTunes handle this? Judging from other posts here this is not so easy anymore.
Simple. Playlists, both standard and smart.
I only have a 10GB iPod and have probably 40+GB of music. I have smart playlists that filter based on mood, genere, etc. On top of that, I have a lot of my full albums as playlists (just select the songs and drag them to the playlist section and it'll create one named "Artist - Album"). It took a little while to create my album playlists but it's worth it. When you go to update your iPod, you just choose the playlists that you want. It works for me.
As I read the article, I understood that it was banning state taxes on the internet, not federal taxes. This would have no effect on the national debt.
Try reading the article. This isn't a ban on Internet sales tax. This is a ban on taxing Internet service. Sales tax is determined by whether the store has a presence in your state.
You are misunderstanding me. I think we are saying pretty much the same thing. The post I replied to said "It's when you fail to welcome your New Overlords that you might be considered a terrorist." Though it was probably just a troll, it sounds like legitimate resistance to me as opposed to terrorism. I am just pointing out that there's a difference between the two. Terrorists target civilians whereas resistance fighters target the soldiers who occupy their land.
To most Americans, the period from 1790 to 1915 is kind of a mystery except for Gettysburg and the Ford Theater
Exactly. I include myself in that. I got very little history in high school apart from the early history of our country. I got very little recent history (post civil war.) It's the one part of my high school experience that I consider lacking. I took a History of Western Civ. since 1600 at one of the Universities I attended and while very interesting, it focused mainly on European history. I got bits and pieces of modern history like vietnam, cuban missile crisis and the world wars but those are all majro world events. I know nothing of what was goign on domestically. I for one will be intersetd in these.
Perhaps but I don't think the actual letters have. I suspect that the document quality is too poor to make out the characters. Smudges, tears and faded characters probably have more to do with it than the language.
I am good friends with several people that have served there and returned. They all say that the media is not reporting everything. One guy I know still keeps in contact with an Iraqi family via email.
In the Bible (book of Job I think,) there is a passing reference to a creature with a tail like the trunk of a tree. I don't remember much detail about this but I think it was mentioned in a list of creatures meant to be inclusive of all creaters.
I just thought you may find that intersting if you haven't heard that before, especially since many people consider Job to be the oldest book in the Bible.
With AllOfMP3, you can get 2.5 Gb for $25. If your average MP3 is 3.5Mb you can get about 700 for that $25 vs. $700 with iTMS. Most of that $700 for iTMS will go to the RIAA and Apple, with the artists as usual getting the shaft.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. You can do the "artist not getting much" rationalization all you want but if I'm going to purchase the song, I'd rather do so in a manner where the artist gets at least some of the money.
Until that stops, I will never use a system like iTMS which just encourages the RIAA and Apple to take a larger share then what the artist gets. When I want to compensate an artist, I check their website for items to buy or go to their concert.
So let me get this straight. You are going to support the artist by purchasing from a service where they see none of the money instead of one where do? Also, do you think that the RIAA doesn't get any of the money when you purchase cds off artists websites? Think again. They just cut out the middleman.
You can rationalize away your cheapness all you want.
They do that in the states as well though perhaps not as extreme. They will place logos on the field during breaks of action. There are also blue screens that I noticed behind the catcher in the world series. With certain cameras you could catch part of the screen and see that it was blue. When it switched back out to a different camera, you could see the ads. I didn't find it intrusive and it didn't bother me that much.
I think he understands enough to know that he doesn't completly understand this move by TIVO. Instead of getting his patnies in a wad assuming that it will suck, he wants to see the result first.
It's a minor difference. So attendance is taken at the beginning of the class. When I was in highschool iit was this way as well. Then the teacher would close the door and know whether anyone leaves the room. It's the same thing, this method just adds an additional 5 minutes at the beginning of the class for instruction.

MORE convenient. Yeah paying 99 cent +++++++++ my internet connection is so convenient. I don't know what salery you make but I can spend a few minutes searching for 99 cents.
Internet connection is a moot point here since you pay for it with either distribution method.
The problem with current p2p is that you don't know what you are getting until you get it. You have to download 20-30 songs before you actually get what you are looking for. Don't even try looking for new stuff on p2p networks either because you will get fake files or renamed files. I was searching of Echo and the Bunnymen track from the late eighties that ITMS didn't have. After getting several hits on p2p networks, it took me several days for me to work myself up the remote queue.
ITMS is convenient. You pay 99 cents and then 10 seconds later you have exactly what you want at the quality expected on purchase.
This doesn't create a society of good adults, but wildly disenfranchised and angry ones.
I take issue with this. Who's to say who is a "good adult?" Is a "good adult" simply someone who agrees with you?
This is not a government mandate; this is a decision by a local school district. If enough people complain, this will not happen. No comment on it is assumed a pro-vote. If the parents in this district are OK with this than so be it. As this is, this is no more of a bold invasion of privacy than a "Present" during roll call.
The problem with the space elevator isn't proving that somthing can climb a ribbon. It's creating the ribbon.

This change was made at the introduction of Office 2000, and I'm sure it's a result of usability feedback from less savvy users who were "losing" their documents when they opened another one, etc.
I don't think that's the case. It has made me more productive because I can alt-tab between different open documents instead of using the Window menu.
Taskbar cluttering is an issue if you don't use the window grouping feature of XP. A lot of people hate this and turn it off but I find it useful. I use 2000 at work and don't have this feature but fortunately my monitor is large enough that i can tell the difference between my 19 open windows.

I didn't know anyplace did that. Kentucky, I know, has no tax on groceries.

I am talking about the Behemoth in Job 40:15-24
It "eats grass like an ox."
It "moves his tail like a cedar."
Its "bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron."
"He is the first of the ways of God."
"He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh."

Resistance is different from terrorism. Iraqi resistance would be fighting against the US soldiers, not kidnapping and murdering civilians.

Your history is also a bit off...since you seem to have forgotten that Japan is the only country that has ever actually been nuked
Slightly off-topic, but Japan wasn't nuked. There is a difference between nulear and atomic bombs.

No, not far too logical; more like far too difficult.
But it still doesn't render slashdot correctly...
