Is there a real correlation between watching lots of porn, and having lots of sex ?
Is there a real correlation between attending lots of church, and being full of compassion towards people different than themselves ?
Is there a real correlation between parents not reading the label, and the kids being exposed to items they aren't mature enough for ?
Give teens a reason to be proud of themselves. Stop harrassing kids for being kids. Damn near anything that involves breathing and moving at the same time is illegal for kids these days, and it's no wonder they are lashing out violently. The playgrounds are all paved. The parents are all struggling to get by. The schools can't afford the same programs my generation took for granted as part of a public education. Violent behavior is just a way to get attention from the world they can't get at home.
I lived blocks away from where a guy was driving a stolen tank down the freeways in san diego between the 805,and the 163. Gawd, what was that, like 10, 11 years ago ?
It might not happpen everyday, but it has happened before in southern california, you might be too young to remember 1994.
I had to go out and find the content I wanted, I had to subscribe to the content in a different program than I used to find it, and I had to click the button to GET the content when the iTunes program let me know it has become available. It doesn't have to work this way, it's the way I set it up, and it's how I like it.
Why don't you log in and post your comments,you punk ass little bitch.
Nice, except I don't use Windows media player, I use mplayer, and I use iTunes. Windows media player may be a perfectly fine replacement on windows, I don't know. I only know that Windows media player isn't worth two quarts of piss and a hat full of shit on any system with shell I find suitable.
But, when it's done through iTunes, using RSS to autmatically grab new content from sites, it's starts to become something different. When the player keeps track of how much of the podcast has been played, and automatically manages the downloaded content according to user criteria, it becomes a podcast.
Yes, you can just download the mp3, but it's the iTunes experience that makes the system complete. I used to think it was dumb too, but now I'm hooked.
I like knowing which shows I've heard, and which I still need to have a listen, and being able to pick up where I left off when I get interupted. iTunes, presents this information in a very intuitive way, and just downloading the mp3 doesn't, using RSS or not.
I don't think this is going to get very far at all, even with the big limelight given to it by Slashdot here.
Indeed. I'll forget all about this browser, or non-browser, whatever it is. Later, someone will ask me about it, and I'll tell them what I think. "I went to their website, and my impression was that they do shoddy work, and are just collecting email addys for spamming purposes. I saw nothing that would lead me to believe this was a legit company, and I think they are going to take your personal information and store it all in a database for the sole purpose of selling it to marketers"
That's what I got out of their site anyway. I saw nothing news worthy on that site.
I don't care to stay on the "legitimate" side of any law with which I disagree, but that a choice each individual has to make for themselves. Weigh the consequences and make your own choice.
I'm well aware of the requirement to delete the copy from my computer when I sell the disc.
I can go to $USED_CD_STORE and buy $ALBUM used for $3.99-$9.99. I walk outside, sit on the curb and rip it to my powerbook in a higher bit rate than the downloadable version. Three minutes later, I walk back into the store and sell the disc back for $2.50.
I'm not going to pay $14, $15,.. $25 for a digital album.
Of course I haven't RTFA, but If the situation is so dire that I won't be able to return, government documentation is the last of my concerns.
My kit is more survival oriented. Backpack, bivy sack, gun, ceramic water filter, flint and knife. Anything else I need can be improvised, or taken by force.
In these situations, lots of people will be without papers. I want to be among them, rather than amongst the dead holding their encrypted USB drives detailing their last morgage payment, car loans, etc.
What exactly does the copyright cover on a musical work ? The notes, the chords ? The lyrics ? a likeness to a song ?
Is the copyright for the entire piece ?
If I downsample something to a 4 bit audio sample, is it a violation of copyright ?
If I get some shitty song stuck in my head and keep singing it, is it copy right infringement ? What if I tape myself ? And Distribute the tapes ? For a fee ?
If I translate a copywritten text to heiroglyphs, poorly, is it still compyright infringment, or just a story with the same plot and same basic them ?
When does something stop being copyright infringment and become something else ?
United Airlines offers power outlets, but my boss says he had to buy an adapter to make it work with his powerbook. Not really sure how that works, but he definately was telling us to buy our tickets on united because we could keep our powerbooks plugged in.
I guess I should write up my tutorial on how to run fluxbox on OS X, and my follow up, setting environment variables to allow Terminal.app to interact with the X server.
I bought a shuffle for one reason, it met my requirements exactly. I wanted something so light that it wouldn't have enough momentum to bounce around while I do my shred. The iShuffle weighs less than a single AA battery, and holds more than enough songs for my typical workout times.
I bought one, it worked out perfectly. I never find myself wondering what song is playing, or what song is next, or wishing it had a radio. I load up playlists of what I want to use for the work out du jour, and head out the door.
I don't think the shuffle was ever intended to be the primary portable music device, but more of a supplemental player for specific uses.
It's obviously some type of new geek sport, Dupe Hunting for fun and profit.
I'm convinced people are intentionally submitted Dupes, and large sums of money change hands whenever the editors DON'T put the dupe on the front page.
I just lost $25k USD on this one. I would have thought a lame story that didn't get comments yesterday would have almost no chance of being posted again.

I propose that if each species were custom created by a higher order creature of superior intelligence, we would observe unique genomes in each species with little conservation between say a plant and an animal. We should not see a tight correlation in the ordering of genes on chromosomes between a mouse and a human, and we should not see the same sequences between genes conserved at any appreciable rate.
However, what we actually observe is a tremendous amount of code reuse, even between kingdoms there are conserved genes. We see conservation of intron sequences, conservation of non-coding repetitive sequences, and we see the ordering of the genes on chromosomes conserved with a frequency that is strangely proportional to the wack ass scientists' evolutionary time line.
Now, I would say an old timepiece is an example of intelligent design, as are the mirrors in the Hubble space telescope. Both are too precise to be built by chance and happenstance. Why then, when we compare the two, do we find no similarities, despite them being as similar as a tree and a kangaroo ?
Hmmm, could it be, that the intelligent design was just a lazy designer who built one thing and let it go through a process of imperfect replication ?

I predict an increase in violence.
Knowing the only daylight available is when most people are going to be working, or sleeping, can't be a recipe for peace.
I hate DST.

Technically, sure, it's just downloading mp3s.

Thanks for blindly obeying everything that is law, I'm sure it is the best way to protect your freedoms.
Laws are mere suggestions. There are consequences to breaking them, and there are consequences to following them.
If you don't decide for yourself what you value, what freedoms do you have ?
I only committed copyright infringement, you've committed breaking and entering, theft, and possibly grand theft.
Have fun in the big house.
Not all crimes are equal, and mine leaves no trail.
Exactly.

The theory of evolution does not attempt to address the creation of life.
Evolution is a theory of how the diverse life forms arised over time.
Evolutionist really don't care about where life started.
Creationist try to twist the theory of evolution into an explanation fo rthe creation of life, which it is not, and does not pretend to be.
I propose that if each species were custom created by a higher order creature of superior intelligence, we would observe unique genomes in each species with little conservation between say a plant and an animal. We should not see a tight correlation in the ordering of genes on chromosomes between a mouse and a human, and we should not see the same sequences between genes conserved at any appreciable rate.
