I would like to be able to drag a selection box highlighting many links at once, and then be able to ctrl+click links in or out of my selection, as if they were a bunch of icons. Then, they could each open in their own tabs, or maybe even into a single tab meta-page where all the pages are stacked vertically and joined into a single page.
Music is my major and I really enjoy it yet I still get "practicing block" and I know other people do too, you just don't feel like practicing for months at a time, of course I still do to an extent but not as much as when I'm really into it...
If my computer made white noise I would be fine with it, but it does not make white noise - it plays predictable harmonic patterns. The high pitch of the hard disk drone irritates my tinnitus, and the pitches have meaning to me, so my mind cannot help but process the incoming sounds. It's distracting. I can't sleep with the ringing in my ears...
moderators please don't drive me into the ground with this, I know it's sortof off topic
but here is an area where a young profession can learn from an old one;
In every music school I know, the emphasis is on applied development (being able to perform on your instrument). There are lots of important things about music, but what matters is that you can demonstrate that understanding through performance. Several times per year we have to take a "jury" where we perform alone for the applied faculty, and this is what really counts so far as you staying in the school and doing well.
Instruments are expensive so you're expected to not only have your own, but have extensive experience with it before even applying to school.
Maybe computer degrees can learn a thing or two...
As the child of parents who keep a very noisey dog in the neighborhood, it is not cool to hear about how the dog upsets people so much. Heck, she drives me nuts! So be nice if you can!
It's DVD quality in the same vein that mp3 is cd quality.

John Cage believed that one of the many roles of the artist was to keep the audience from drowning in their own thoughs. He also believed that beauty could be found everywhere, even in the sounds around you. If you don't find something beautiful, he said, spend 2 minutes with it. If you still don't find it beautiful, spend 4. If still not, then 8, 16, 32... eventually, you will find beauty, or at least you will find something interesting.
more than "aware" of the sounds around you

The philosophy of 4'33 is that all the sounds around you ARE musical. They are presented on a stage with an instrument to get your attetion - "hey, there really is something going on here." By the end of his life, Cage believed that 4'33 should be performed for an infinite amount of time; he thus considered the sounds all around him to be music, or at least, interesting.
4'33 is actually composed of a bunch of "rests" added together, and these durations were determined by chance operations with tarot cards. He felt the natural structural beauty of randomness was more beautify than anything his mind could construct. However, it is often suggested that the total duration (4'33") is that standard length of Muzak, to which he originally intended to sell his composition.
Imagine how you feel listening to your favorite music; now imagine you feel that wall all the time. It is understandable that Cage was rarely found without a wide grin on his face. What an amazing guy!
Why is it I can think of a thousand ways this could benefit people as a whole, but only a few where it would hurt a currently existing human being.
The opposing viewpoint is such that the embryos are human beings at any stage of development. The view is that life begins with conception, and to end that life is no different than murder.
Could anyone sum up this story for me? I had a hard time trying to understand what's happening based on a bunch of disjunct google cache pages. I don't know why a single page could have been used.
All I can get at now is that someone mistyped an email address, and that mistyped address was spammed to hell. What's the loss besides some unnecesary traffic?
Many small amounts of toxins are also allowed in human water and food, however that doesn't mean the toxins don't eventually kill you or make you more susceptable to disease once you reach old age.
Issue: should parents search the rooms of their children? If the child has nothing to hide, he will consent, right?
I don't smoke but some of my friends do. One day while hanging out in my room a friend's pack of cig's fell out of his pocket. My mom found them in my room. I was grounded for 3 months!
Now who will consent to search if he has nothing to hide?

studies were done and it was found to be null, I heard about it from a guest lecturer in engineering we had a few weeks ago.

Yes this is offtopic, moderators please don't nail me into the ground...
but wouldn't air traffic control be a great job for a computer, instead of a bunch of humans trying to acheive insane levels of concentration?

Also fun is to get yourself lost, then use your gps to get your back, which is good, especially as it is beginning to get dark :-)
