I justified the extra cost with the fact that I can back up all my source code, bring pictures with me to people's houses, carry around a few seasons of the simpsons, and listen to music.
Where to start, where to start... well for one, it's not as if the US wants the oil for themselves, or even the cash for it. The US wants to control the flow of oil into the developing nations in Africa, it's about control, not money... the rest, I hope is somewhat clear.
I will agree with you (and the original poster), it's a little niave to pretend Oil was the only reason though, Mr Bush et al. (don't forget the et al, they're probably more to blame than the president), in reality the reasons are even less comprehensible to a rational mind.
This explains why I'm turned off to concepts like iTunes. Sure I'll download the occasional one hit wonder or latest greatest radio song. But given the fact that the price scale per song is break even with a CD, I don't get it... I'll purchase and encode myself. Can I tell the difference between my MP3's and CD's? Sometimes, not often to be honest. But someday in the future I figure there's a reasonable chance that I'll have a system where I can.
iTunes, Napster, etc... you're selling us less, charge us less!
Personally, I'll start paying for downloads when the price point is 1/3-1/4 that of a purchased CD, or when I have the option to download a lossless version. I'd prefer the later.
I hate to make a me too post...
but yes! It's not the quality of US Schools, it's the cost of US schools. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a point of college, but it's certainlly one of the problems with going to college. Let's be more modest and assume 60 grand for 4 years of school (tuition plus rent and food).
That comes out to -60-20-20-20-20=140,000 less dollars in my pocket than if I'd taken a 20,000 a year job right out of school. Even if I make twice what I would've made with no college education, it will take me 6 years to break even (more like 9 with interest payments).
Financially speaking, college is nearing a breakeven point, someone needs to figure this out.
Yes they have.
If I'm not mistaken there was a sweet spot of about two years when the calculators weren't technically allowed, but also weren't technically banned and the adjustments weren't complete.
Though this does raise the question of bias doesn't it, these calculators aren't cheap, and some students only are able to use them if their school provides them, which is clearly much different than having one at home to practice with/put notes into/etc.
I want the RIO Karma with the ability to be mounted as a filesystem when I plug it in.... if it just had that one little feature, I think I could look over the FM Turner and recording and whatnot. Instead, looks like I'll shell out the extra 100 dollars and get the iRiver.
You know, that's what I thought. My MP3 CD Player is now relegated to car duty only because I can only get through two, maybe three, hours of music before my batteries die. Spinning that big disk is bad news.
And then there's the issue of new music. I get one new CD, or download 3 new songs. No simple way to add them to my collection.
I dunno, I'm seriously considering one of the hard disk players... the 20 gig iRiver is my current front-runner, though alot of these are looking pretty amazing.
I'm really interested in this thread getting fleshed out
I just don't dig the iPod, I'm not a zealot against it, just doesn't work for me. But I'm really interested in both the iRiver and the Rio, and just don't know enough, or have access to a store which carries them. Also, I've heard very mixed reviews about Archos items, is there anything from them that compares?
Two big sticking points for me...
Can the "built in batteries" on these units be swapped with some technical know how.
Three years from now, if I'm happy with the performance, can I plug in a bigger harddrive (I remember seeing some Archos mods which did this)
For me, I want one, I dig them, I just can't find the right one... loving some help.
I think you are missing something I might as well... but as I understand it, your statement may be true in the near future but in the long run, the idea is pages who are actually selling what you want will be at #1 rather than sites selling other things but know you want to buy X.
Wow, it is so nice to see someone else supporting a One State solution. People should pay attention to this post, it is absolutely on the money.
Short term, different routes may need to be followed, but as a long term solution, it is not only the morally sound choice, it is the only practical one.
Responding to the grandparent and the idea that genocide is a more appropriate route and commentary about not buckling to European pressure. Do you honestly believe Israel would not buckle to European pressure if it weren't leaning so hard on the US? Do you honestly believe a country can survive the moral bankrupcy that is genocide?
Yes, and then he got the Israeli's to agree to disband them, and give the palistinians most of the land and a capitol in East Jeruselum, etc. But Arafat walked away and turned to violence. Both Clinton and Prince Bandar (who was advising Arafat at the time) have blamed the resulting violence on Arafat.
Come on, you're not really going to try that tired argument again are you? Have you ever seen the plan that offered to give the Palestinians most of the land? It was non-contigous land in which Israeli Roads divided towns, military controlled roads. It also strategically kept key water sources in Israeli control.
There was nothing generous about Bahrak's so calle d Generous Offer, in bare statistics it sounded good, drawn out on paper it was garbage.
As far as who's fault the violence was, it's not as if it rests solely on any one individual's shoulders, but honestly, can you call Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount anything but provocatory?
Yes, and for national security. Do you doubt that Iraq backed terrorists? Heck, it used to pay money to the families of suicide bombers.
Dictatorships are actually quite good at keeping terrorism down. I haven't seen any specific evidence of pre-Bush Iraq supporting terrorism.
And as to paying money to the families of suicide bombers... that's one of the most often context-free arguments I hear. Money was sent to families who had their homes destroyed by the IDF. Obviouslly, this often coincided with the families of suicide bombers, but the policy was not to support the bombers, rather to support the families who were being illegaly (by international law) punished.
Then you should just get the Web developer extension for Firebird. If your page is accesible on a publicly accesible site there's one click to verify.. plus plenty of other useful tools like outlining table (and custom) elements, loading the stylesheets in another tab, and so on and so on.
What's wrong with this exactly? Mozilla had the choice to license their software as they saw fit. For whatever reason, they chose the MPL as one of those methods... now if someone adheres to the spirit and letter of the MPL license law, they're somehow meeting the bare minimum legal requirement and purposesly blocking cooperation?
That's an odd argument to me... they're doing exactly what Mozilla licensed people to do with the code is more what it sounds like.
I think the parent poster's point is that in the history of the United States we've labelled many terrorists as freedom fighters... you can say wha ta freedom fighter and a terrorist "should" do to earn those labels, but as was insightfully pointed out, the US government intentionally avoids making any such definition so that they can keep putting who they want in the box they want.

Sounded too bad to be true, while the iPOD's not for me, I didn't think apple was stupid.
I couldn't agree more... in fact I'm encoding the rest of my CD's to OGG and MP3(VBR) as we speak because my IHP-140 is supposed to arrive on Monday.
The other nice thing about the iRiver's is they come with some of the basic equipment, carrying case, microphone and such.
I read something incredibly interesting just last night that made me wonder about iPOD's, is it true that they only support CBR MP3's and AAC's?

the iRiver IHP-140 discussed here yesterday will... and I believe the IHP-120 already does... but I may be mistaken. -Rob

I completely agree with this -if- they provide a way to all-but turn the screen off and get some decent battery life when all I want is music.
I see it for $359 by searching on Amazon, I'd say the swedish price is completely goofed at this point.

I actually thought you had an owl sitting on your head.
Originally it was do out in 7.4... last I heard it was re-slated for 7.5. I'm figuring to see it in 8.0, but I hope I'm really wrong.

To the original poster... I used the all in one gestures package and had no problem on a clean install either... might want to try again.
To the parent, I use the previous/next tab mouse gestures, I use the scroll to bottom of page gestures, and I use the rocker navigation often.
Personally I either have both hands on the keyboard, or neither, so I love having the ability to use shortcuts for either setting.
