So basically it's ADSL thats super fast if you happen to live close enough to get VDSL, which is already real fast. BTW, where are they coming up with this 8mbps ADSL figure? Around here (Los Angeles) I think the best you can get is 1.5mbps down/768 kbps up. The most I've heard of is 6mbps DSL and that's in limited areas. Is this just bunk or another case of non-US markets having way better tech (ala cell phones).
KCRW is a public radio station here in Los Angeles with a great assortment of eclectic music, npr, and some great programs. Morning Becomes Eclectic every day from 9a-12p PST is daily fodder for me, and then I switch over to the KCRW Music stream when I get back from lunch, which rebroadcasts all the music programs from the previous evening, as the regular station goes to NPR from noon til 8p. The site also has archives of a lot of good programs they have run, including the Complete Hitchhiker's Guide BBC Radio Drama, which has gotten me through a couple of nothing-to-do days. Apple iTunes radio has them listed under public and eclectic I believe as well. I highly recommend this.
first of all, your math on the 50%, 45%, 5% is flawed significantly. having a 5 out of 100 chance of escaping is a matter of odds. just becuase nader or whoever gets 5% of the vote in a couple states does not mean that he has that chance of getting elected. our system of government is not (yet) based on a vegas-style odds system.
but the fact remains: none of the third parties are going to win in this election. deleude yourself all you want, i realld wish people would go with the lesser of two evils here. i always thought bush was a moron, but i never fears for national safety until he took us to war for NO REASON other than a) distraction from the fact that we can't figure out who the terrorists are without being politically incorrect (detaining every arab in the country, even though it would work) b) a present for his father who failed to win a war in iraq. c) oil, which could easily be replaced by things like biodiesel and hydrogen if our president didn't have substantial personal interests in maintaining the petrol driven oil industry. bush is getting americans killed for no good reason. sure sadam was a tyranical dictator who was guilty of genocide, but so are leaders in central america, afraica, and korea. why aren't we going after them?
to sum up my point, fine you support libertrian or whatever third party's point of view. they aren't going to get elected, and i bet kerry's pov is closer to what you wnat that bush's. a lot closer.
But he won't win. And it's dumbasses like you who are going to get Bush re-elected, because none of the third party candidates take away from the Republican vote. Any other year I'd have your back but we need Bush out and Kerry is the only realistic chance of that. There's no argument you can have that could say that any 3rd party candidate has a chance this year. Maybe in 50 years, but you can wait 4, or else there might not be a country when the terrorists nuke major cities because of Bush's horrible Middle East Policy.
itchy trigger finger..
But really, considering how much a 30 second ad space on radio costs, they buy 5-6x this per song, maybe they'll bankrupt themselves if we all continue to pirate music, and then they'll just be gone.
Seriously, someone needs to get next gen batteries out the door or the wireless revolution is going to die before it gets off the ground. And I want my wireless life dammmit!
Can we mod Cliff karma whore for posting this new bit on here, I mean come on.
ps: I'm not seeing enough +5 Funnies on a topic that should be rife with them. get on it people!
"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea.
They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall
mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by
small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is
clear: To build and maintain those robots. Thank you."
some people actually enjoy a variety of music, not just whatever's popular at the moment, or the songs their friends like so they like them too. trolled!

Seriously though, looks pretty nice, it's no iPod but it has a lot more functionality anyway, if I was in the market I'd consider it.

If you don't give a shit about what happened yesterday, it's going to happen again tomorrow (only if it's bad tho.)
It;s built in, they show up on the left hand side under your library, little blue icon followed by the name of the computer
iTunes lets you connect to other iTunes libraries on the same network, you could probably figure something out this way.
Maybe if people spent this kind of energy/money on their first lives they'd be a lot happier. You'd be smarter to just give me your money. In fact...
