While good in theory, this really can only go so far. It's the same problem as infomercials and telemarketers, only on a grander scale and lower cost. At the same time, sending out, say, 5 million spam messages costs not much more than 500. Even if they got a return of.01%, thats still 500 people buying their penis-enlarging mortgage widget at the low cost of only $39.95. Do that every day and it's hard not to see the incentive for spammers. They can probably afford lawsuits now and again (or to go hide in a more liberally-lawed country). The answer to this, as well as a lot of fraud issues, is some sort of email tracking system and not SMTP.
You can change the prefs in iTunes to allow you to just drag and drop songs. But by default it's set to sync.
As far as the allure of iPods, it's the same as all Apple products: use them for a little while and things just feel nicer, more intuitive. If they don't, then don't bother. But if you are curious, go spend a couple hours playing in an Apple Store. That's what they're for.
Simpsons Episode 2F21 The Springfield Connection [The theme to Star Wars plays in the background] Marge: Aren't you glad we got out of the house and came downtown for a
little culture?
Homer: Peh. They're butchering the classics. Could that bassoon have
come in any more late?
Marge: Aw, come on, Homer, there's lasers. You like lasers...
Homer: Laser effects, mirrored balls...John Williams must be rolling
around in his grave.
Since every piece of electronic equipment i own is soon to have a shitty digital camera on it, can I combine them all and get like, one good digital camera somehow?
1. On the DVD when the storm troopers come rushing into the control room that C-3P0 and R2-D2 are hiding in, one hits his head on the door as its rising and falls down. This was always a little blooper that made it in. Now there is a lound *thunk* sound, which had me rolling.
2. No one ever seems to complain about it, but i think the worst change made to the trilogy is in RotJ, Jabba's Palace, the singing and dancing scene. It was fine as it was, but the new song and dance routine with the cgi-creatures and backup singers makes me want to retch. "They're butchering the classics. John Williams must be rolling over in his grave!"
"The majority of beer drinkers, and people we are trying to approach with this product, are not terribly concerned with carbs all the time," said Lachky.
So the target audience is fat party sluts (no man is going to drink fruity beer).
Personally I just give my work phone number in those situations. It goes to a receptionist, and if it's legitimatly important (ie: problem with payment) I'll get it. Otherwise they'll get a polite but stern "fuck off"
Well, yes in a university lab where they have janitorial services daily I'm sure the floors are clean. I haven't mopped my floors at home in months. Go bachelorhood!
Well, it's their fault in that they're using Frontpage in the first place. Dreamweaver is much better, though MX still inserts a lot of depricated tags if left to its own devices. Haven't had a chance to check out MX 2004 enough to know how much progress has been made there, but I'd hope they've turned off things like the font tag by default by now.
And you can say real devs code by hand, and I say to you if you say that, you've never been a dev in a production environment with things called deadlines.
Whoops stupid wrong button, meant to preview that. The line that says "Implying that web pages not working in any browser but IE, however, is not entirely true." should read:
Implying that web pages not working in any browser but IE is the fault of MS, however, is not entirely true.
I hate MS as much at the next guy, excluding work where I have no choice I've moved to solely Apple and Linux, and even gotten all my friends/family to get Firefox. Implying that web pages not working in any browser but IE, however, is not entirely true. The fault lies in the hands of web developers who were too lazy/short sighted to see beyond IE compatibilities. While MS did only enflame this problem by making pages that shouldn't work actually work in IE, if these sites had been properly coded to begin with, they would have still worked in IE and also in every other browser.
So in America we can kind of divide the country into areas based upon what natural disasters are frequent. In California, we get earthquakes, Florida and the east coast/south get hurricanes, the middle of the country gets tornados, and apparently the northwest gets volcanos. My question is, are Europe, South America, Canada, and other parts of the world divided like this as well? Being American, no one really teaches anything about the outside world except that we make it a better place.

How about a VirtualBoy?

Nothin to be ashamed of, BioDome was a totally radical movie bro.
Pen and paper have worked for years
you obviously were abducted by aliens while the last presidential election was happening
I too saw it last weekend, I thought it was hilarious, and the theme song deserves an Oscar (see my sig for the jist of it).
...can it control Jurassic Park?
I'd like to mod Blizzard +5 Insightful for releasing Mac versions of their games at the same time PC ones come out.

Well for one, they could actually sing. BS' voice is made in the studio.
I'm pretty sure European cars don't have rev limiters. Thats part of American safety requirements that most other countries don't follow.
