However he can compete on a relay team without putting up a qualifying time. As long as the South African Olympic team has a 4 x 400 relay team that qualifies, when they run at the Olympic games they can substitute runners. At that point the could put this guy in now that he has been allowed to try to qualify.
The same guy who started this service was also behind MP3.com which did pretty much what you describe. I think he lost out legally on that because that actually was distribution.
Where I live they already have a gap before cross traffic gets the green light. And I often sit at a green light waiting for 2-3 cars to go through the intersection.
You hit the nail on the head with you impulse buy comment. Most of the music I listen to I can't get at Wal-Mart or Best Buy. I could order the discs direct from the artist, but most of the time it's easier to just grab it right then from iTMS.
I haven't tried Amazons download service yet, so I don't know how well this would serve this purpose. But iTMS has a lot of the off the beaten path stuff I like.
Perhaps they could offset the loss of revenue caused by the "cherry picking" by not producing the filler songs in the first place.
Seriously, if you don't need 10 songs to fill out an album why spend the money for studio/engineer/producer time for songs that won't be bought, and are not needed. Use that time and money on the 2-3 songs that are worth it.
What you're looking for probably being produced, but it's just damned hard to find.
I'm 44 and grew up on country music. In the late 50's and 60's Nashville was churning out a bunch of over produced, string backed stuff that was closer to Sinatra than Hank Sr. And the west coast movement was started by Buck Owens, and Merle Haggard, and those types, eventually dubbed "The Bakersfield Sound." This eventually spawned the whole "Outlaw Country" movement of Willie, Waylon, David Allen Coe etc. In other words country became more country again.
Thing was, they were still signed, and promoted by labels. So it was still out there and available. These days country is just twangy pop music for the most part, with a sub-genre of Jimmy Buffet wannabe's (can you say Kenny Chesney?), and any band that sounds like real honky-tonk music can't get any action from a major label.
The best way I've found to find these bands putting out old sounding new stuff is through internet radio. My favorite is Boot Liquor which is part of Soma FM. A great source for what is now called Alt-Country which ranges from country sounding country, to country sounding music with socially aware lyrics, to rolling honky-tonk stuff.
My recommendation is find an internet stations that play the type of music you're into and you're likely to find newer stuff that fits your interests.
A couple of years ago I lived 20 mi. south of D.C. and couldn't get DSL or cable based broadband. Then one day a get a call from my sister-in-law living in the middle of nowhere S. Dakota asking for help setting up her DSL modem. I was so pissed!
The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter how populated the area you live in, if nobody is in a hurry to run the wire to your door you're not getting service.
That was my reaction as well. The only thing I can think of that comes close is the whole "Visual Voicemail" thing.
While I don't believe that there is any sort of monopoly granted to them by the government, it is something that you can only do on an iPhone, on AT&T's network.

And using the user agent switcher for Firefox on my Mac didn't work either.
It's too bad to, as once you get there it's a fairly good site.
Work for hire - 'Nuff said
Try "Employee of the Month" last 5-10 min. is one plot twist after another. Not usually something I'm big on, but they do it pretty well.
well as the complete nut job that Steve Zahn protrays.
In the early 20th century they were popular during influenza epidemics.

Actually the legend is that the naked aspect started after a woman snuck into the competition.
I'm not even interested in seeing it when it is floppy!
Hell somewhere I've got a book about Linux that's centered around Caldera. It even included a copy of the distro in the back of the book!
Just pain stupid works
No, American Tourister. In the testing department.

Actually the first operational use was when George H. Bush went after Noriega in Panama in 1989.
Morse Code works pretty well also.

No it gets an asterisk painted on it when some knuckle head designer buys it from your estate.
'Cause you know with all of that drug use you are bound to die early, and broke.
Of course they have to talk louder. The person on the other end of the conversation is a long way away.

Anyone who wants to can get their stuff on iTMS through CD Baby. http://cdbaby.net/dd-partners
The ARIA, Duh!!

Don't confuse formulaic with standard progressions that allow improvisation.
Unless you're Mormon. IIRC they are required to tithe 10%
It's really not so straight forward.
