16 Simplify Web publishing Why can't we post files from our desktop to a Web site in one drag-and-drop move?
This was done in Windows 98 and beyond. Ever heard of web folders? It works with both FTP and Webdav. I use it all the time, and it works flawlessly.
I'm sorry if I don't use the metric system, a system that requires conversion when dealing with anything related to hard drive storage, not just my blasphemous non-metric computer.
Yet again, that is the metric or decimal way of looking at things. When your computer shows you MB, it isnt showing you 1,000,000 or 10^6 bytes it is showing you 1,048,576 bytes or 2^20. But, hardware manufacturers use this system so that it appears that their hard drives are larger. Also, the metric system is commonly used with data transfer rates, while the binary is used with data storage, like with this iPod.
It seems as if Buck Turgidson knows why the Beagle failed.
"look, these guys talk big, but frankly, we think they're short of know-how. You can't just take a bunch of ignorant peasants and expect them to understand a machine like one of our boys, and I don't mean that as an insult"
Ummm, guess again. 1 kb = 1024 bytes or 8192 bits, 1 MB = 1024 kb, 1 GB = 1024 MB. Hard drive manufacturers advertise capacity in the decimal system ( 1 kb = 1000 bytes, 1 MB = 1000 kb, 1 bit = 1 byte ) and so the 40 GB iPod has 40,000,000,000 bytes, which in the binary system is about 37.25 GB. for more help in byte bit conversion and systems: Bit and Byte Conversion
Ugh, buy some CD's. They are better quality, more permanent, almost as cheap ($16 for CD vs $10 for full CD on ITMS), can be used anywhere, aren't locked in a proprietary format, and have no DRM. Ripping CD's in iTunes is very fast. (Between 18-25x for 256 kbps MP3) Filling a 40 GB I-Pod may be a challenge but will cost thousands of dollars if done the ITMS way.
Family Guy was not that incredible. The shwos were all very repetetive, each episode had Peter screwing something up, having a flashback, stewie attempting to murder the mom and then the problem being fixed. EVERY single episode. I'm not saying it isnt funny, it's just not incredible. Ranked after Futurama and Simpsons, but still decent.

"Try living without the IPod for a few days"
What in the name of Linus Torvalds is this guy thinking? Living without my precious? I don't think so....
introduces a number sweeping improvements

Looks as if someone forgot a certain important preposition

I've filled 25 Gigs of my I-Pod without spending any money. I already have CD's, I don't already have AAC files.
