Maybe because some of the cops already break the law at home, away from work.
Personally if I was a cop I wouldn't give 2 hoots about piracy. I'd care more about the person being mugged 2 streets away.
Well I don't really listen to singles that much. I listen to music by albums which fits nicely in my lifestyle (hour long commutes to Uni). For playback on the PC I use foobar2000, but overall just dragging songs on my P.C. to my Zen without having to worry about wether they are in the music library just makes it easier.
I don't use the FM Radio, or even the calender features, but I do use some of the subtler things like Album of the Day, easy Removable disk, and the ability to charge from any USB2 cable rather than a proprietary cable. A personal music player is a very personal thing and not everyone suits an iPod.
Oh did I mention that the Zen Micro fits perfectly in a mint tin?
Finally, someone who doesn't yell about the iPod having the 'superior iTunes'.
Personally I find the software that comes with some of the other mp3 playres much better. iRiver doesn't need any, and Creative (Zen Micro) just pretty much let's you drag and drop onto the player.
Maybe it auto-filled it with rubbish your sister put on your PC. Or maybe you don't feel in the mood for a certain song. I certainly don't wanna be listening to Beach Boys when its raining.
Has got round to putting the buttons on the outside. Surely you don't want to remove your headphones whenever a song you don't feel like comes on.
Now do this mod with a Zen Micro and I'm interested.
I think that we did VERY well out of this game. The negatives (such as not enough PVP servers, delays between patches, logging in issues) were also present on the USA release and unlike certain RPG's (think Final Fantasy) we didn't have to wait 1 and a half years to get it. Not only that but for me the servers have been EXTREMELY reliable.
It's a good, polished off, and most of all fun to play deserves and I think that it deserves to be the number one MMORPG in both the USA and the UK.
The fact that the main internet browser out there doesn't support this standard isn't going to make it work the way its designed to.
Quite frankly I think that google would be unable to change its front page to be W3C compliant anyway, it's one thing a site never working for a particular browser, but its a different thing for a web-page to cease working on a particular browser.
You use standards every day. Bringing HTML into compliance with basic standards is a no-brainer, and it's inexcusable (IMHO) for a company as large and prominent as Google to ignore them.
I'm sure that other sites like eBay, Microsoft, Ikea, MFI and McDonalds and Yahoo also are inexcusable for not following W3 standards.
Frankly, google probabaly don't care.
Why take the time and effort to make a site standard compliant when in the end it would probabaly use more bandwidth for google, and probabaly wouldn't work the same in every browser under the sun.
Granted standards compliance is one way to make the internet more uniform, but saying a site NEEDS standard compliance is idiotic. What makes W3C standards anyway? When a site doesn't start to work with your favourite browsers, thats when you complain but if it ain't broke, why fix it?
I'm also guessing that your mobile phone can hold 20gb worth of media, has a non-proprietary headphone output and is still the size of an ordinary phone with an interface designed for playing said 20gb of media easily and efficiently?
I don't consider Claria all that bad. It's easiesh to remove, and can be done by practically any anti-malware program (except maybe Yahoo's earlier attempts), and actually tells you *what* is installed. (At least it did when I had it on my PC)
Possibly the most annoying ones are the anomymous ones such as 'CoolWebSearch' which you don't know what to search for to get rid of it and the ones which you have no clue how to remove 'MySearch'.
Or the worse ones at all, the ones that break the address bar so you can't access any sites via. internet Explorer. Thankfully PC Gamer has started including Mozilla Firefox on its Cd's and I reckon a few other major magaizes will follow suite.
Quite possibly the worse one is that piece of paid adware, the one which you have to format your entire P.C to get rid of all traces of it. 'AOL'.
Guess I'm part of the 1%. (Dvorak mainly for the comfort and the ergonomics and not really for speed being at 75 w.p.m)
Actually it's probably less than 99% because of people using alternative layouts such as the russian, gujarati, hindu azerty etc.
Theres more than just qwerty and dvorak:)
I wish that more people would take up the dvorak though, or at least have hot-switchable keyboards more available. The only real place to get them has gone into luiquidisation.
Battling it out between the Velvet Revolver and the Beastie Boys album.
I wonder if DRM incompatabilities is anything to worry about on broken computers in the future.
You can get a 'Logic Pro dance mat' which is ignition style from Logics own website. The previous logic pad I had (black backed) has only ever had a split in it and still works pretty much perfectly.
Try to avoid 'plasticy' style mats, like the plague. These don't last long at all, and tend to break after 2 weeks use.
If you are going to go for a metal pad, try red-octanes or the ones off play-asia.com, these seem to be the popular picks. AVOID the pads on ebay as these are all cheaper metal pads which bend like hell.
Finally if you want to go all out, cobaltflux is the way to go. www.cobaltflux.com These last forever!
In terms of getting a program to use them, I recommend either stepmania or dwi, and an EMS2 USB converter, which works on both windows and linux. The ems2 usb, comes complete with 2 sockets, so you can play doubles mode if you are so inclined.
In fact I'd be very tempted just to ignore getting an official console version and get all the songs you need from ddruk.com .

Theres a shield which comes up shortly after the window is smashed which covers the side windows but not the front (which remained intact).
The same thing happened when the hanger door fields were disrupted.

Who-ever could face wearing headphones/mp3player/shades in public deserves a "Thump".

Here's a nice simple one. When the cursor hovers over an unloaded image, priority is automatically given to that image to load ASAP.
