All porn sites would be moved to the.xxx domain or face an astronomical fine of say, $10,000 per day. A committee would have to be formed to judge sites reported for non-compliance.
My 15-year old daughter thought I was kidding when I told her she was going to the "Galley School of Driving" which is taught using Gran Turismo 4 and a Logitech Driving Force wheel. I want her to understand how easily a car can get out of your control (in a safe environment). The stupid school system can't give her a driver's ed class until she's a senior. WTF?
"28. The British buy the most compact discs in the world - an average of 3.2 per year, compared to 2.8 in the US and 2.1 in France."
WTF? I buy that many in a month; often more.
I appreciate all the work Opera has done to render the myriad of poorly-coded pages out there (even the non standards-compliant ones). What I really want to see is better plug-in support (which I realize that you are working on with Firefox). Those are the two reasons why I don't recommend Opera to boobies. They don't understand about poorly-coded pages, and they don't understand why plug-in don't work. What do you have planned for future versions of Opera in these regards? Thanks from a long-time Opera user.:-)
J. River Media Center has an iTunes-like interface, buand has support for not only audio, but images, video, and documents as well. You can create custom view schemes, and custom database fields.

Galley's Rule of Nines demonstrates a simple mathematical rule that I discovered about twenty years ago. You can take any positive whole number with at least two digits, and with a few manipulations, the end result is always nine!
So how does it work? There are two parts to the rule:
Part One: If you find the sum of the digits of any whole number (larger than nine) and subtract that sum from the original number, the result will always be a multiple of nine.
Part Two: Every multiple of nine's digits will add up to nine (or another multiple of nine, who's digits will add up to nine, etc.) In other words, no matter what number you being with, the end result will always be nine!

SACD is certainly not "dead", or "dormant" (That would be DVD-A). Nearly every manufacturer has either a DVD player or HTiB that supports the SACD format. There are well more than 2000 titles available, but interestingly, the company that supports it the best is Universal, not Sony. Most SACDs these days are hybrid, meaning they have a standard CD-Audio layer, that you can rip in a CD-ROM or CD-RW drive, so for $14 you get a disc that has SACD stereo, SACD surround, CD stereo, and the ability to rip those tracks to AAC or MP3. Sounds like a bargain to me!

Be Inc. not accepting Apple's $120 million offer was a huge blunder. They ended up selling themselves to Palm for a measly $5 million or so.
I'll pay whatever they want for the deluxe version with .Mac lovin'.
If every commercial CD had CD-Text we wouldn't need the CDDB for track, artist and album info.
I bought a Sony FM radio several years ago, and the edges of the pack were actually perforated!

Firefly was a consistent Top 10 show among TiVo users. But they didn't track that data back then, like they do now.
I used XP on a variety of machines over the past five years, and I have never seen a Blue Screen of Death, so I don't think they exist any longer.
A Muppet Show reference... sweet!
There's a new "city" called Verdae being developed here in Greenville, SC that will be perfect for the Segway.
I once stored 300 DVDs in a nightstand drawer with sleeves I picked up at CompUSA.
BeOS had a 64-bit database-like file system way back in 1995!

I just use watchster instead. It's like an RSS reader on a web page. http://www.watchster.com/

Firefly should be top five, Futurama in the top ten, and the original Battlestar Galactica in the top 15.
Seriously, Microsoft should've purchased BeOS from Palm, and used that as a base for Vista.
I suggested this very type of search feature to Google two years ago.
Blu-ray: two syllables HD-DVD: five syllables Blu-ray wins!
This is BS, because I am forced to use version 4.6, as 4.7 will not allow me to import CDs at any bitrate other than 128Kbps. Aaargh!
