I'd really like to see an option to eliminate silence from the beginning and end of tracks (for mp3s ripped from a CD that transition from track to track seamlessly), since mp3s round off to the nearest frame instead of an exact song length, adding extra milliseconds of blank space. The feature to eliminate that is one of my favorite features of Winamp.
That, and crossfading options are the things I really want in an mp3 player
yes, thats all good and nice if we ignore the context of the thread, which is talking about outlawing p2p filesharing. of course, then we'd look stupid and start talking about completely irrelevant stuff
You can deny me the 30 dollar rebate coupon and kick me out of the store, but the damage that my word of mouth is going to do will be 100x the cost of that coupon. Thats not really a threat to an employee, jackass! Do you think some guy getting paid minimum wage gives a toss if you cost the store business? No! Of course not. If you try and make their life difficult, chances are they will do the same in return.
I dont live in a country with best buys so im left wondering two things. what does PSP actually stand for (i understand its some sort of service warrenty) and are these guys getting loads of commision on PSPs or something? Otherwise I can't understand why someone would try so hard to sell you crap.
I'll take that compromise if it mean less clueless morons running completely unsecured PCs
it's really not that big a deal to turn off the firewall yourself, and I dont see your point on installing updates prior to shutting down your pc. if you're using automatic updates (as opposed to plain ol' windows update) it should be automatic
It must have been quite a while since you bought a new pc buddy. These days regardless of your OS its unlikely you'll need to open your case for anything short of upgrading components. yes, even with linux.
Err, but it pops up after the page loads. So, assuming you got to whatever form first hit, AND typed everything in under 300ms, AND then pressed enter at the right time...I guess it could happen, anything is possible.;)
yeah, cause no one is still using dialup in this day and age, are they? think outside the box you live in
I own a sony MZR-900, which has a length and width of about the same as a minidisc (plus a little around the edges of course), and a thickness of about 3 and a half stacked minidiscs. I've had a quick look at a MuVo2 in a shop and it was pretty much the same size as my MD player.
looks like a damn nice player, but I'll hold off as I'll probably be inheriting an ipod from a friend in a few weeks *fingers crossed*
You're assuming that Osama Bin Laden isn't already in US Custody. I have a feeling that we already have him, and he'll conveniently be "captured" publicly in September or October (just before the US Election).
yeah, and then bush will have elvis play at his re-election party
out of all the cities on that list I've only been to Melbourne and Sydney, but i was recently in Tokyo and would have to say that list is screwed up. even if Melbourne and Sydney were combined i doubt they'd match Tokyo for its number of skyscrapers. heck, London belongs somewhere on that list if Sydney gets a place
possibly, but for that to happen it would have to be intention, would it not? otherwise how is that infected image going to end up on the linux webserver?

what does skype got to do with p2p? isnt it a VoIP client?

this is terrible advice. DMT is definately not a drug for unexperienced psychonauts

I'm not blocking religious websites (except for one lunatic conspiracy theorist nut job foil-in-the-hat cult site).

I wish I had mod points, that was brilliantly done. not sure what I would mod it up as, but I'd definately hope a few more people read that

I guarantee you that a small MD player with a disc in it is MUCH smaller than any HD-based player (at the moment).
*cough*MuVo2*cough*
sorry, did you say something?
isnt that loosening? is loosing even a word? it certianly sounds retarded if it is
SMTP - Small Message Transfer Protocol
err.. actually its Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. While that doesnt change your point, you should at least get the name right.
had a look at the roadmap and in 1.0b Greenlane a planned feature is an ActiveX installer
now hold on just a second... whats going on here? isnt ActiveX the root of most of IE's vulnerabilities?
*dons tinfoil hat*
....or windows key + r, path of folder, enter
look mum! no mouse!
yes, useful tip to remember. ive been wondering for a while now, if the fault is in the html or the rendering engine

The last time I dropped an $800 digital camera from a kite, it only cost $100 to have repaired and it was equally as trashed as this dude's.
wait, let me get this straight... you've dropped your camera from a kite too??

Erik Simon's slideshow was really enlightening.
you didnt even mention that he's dressed up as a crazy wizard on slide 2!!
