maybe you haven't been paying attention the last twenty years, but despite a few oddities (lack of recent imported automobiles, thanks USA), Cuba's economy is remarkably healthy despite the USA's deliberate attempts to sabotage it.
Excuse me, but...socialism? Of all the things happening to the United States right now, you're most worried about socialism?
I think you're way off base here. The gap between rich and poor has been the biggest it's ever been in the last several decades, with more and more funding going to the military, and a rapidly diminishing middle class. Education and health care are notoriously expensive in the US compared most industrialised nations. The US is currently witnessing the government's outright rejection of socialism, not the reverse.
MSIE does not support the application/xhtml+xml MIME type. It will ask you what application you want to open this mysterious 'XHTML' document with if you try to send it something over HTTP using that MIME type, even though that is the correct and the ONLY correct MIME type with which to send XHTML. Since IE 7 renders XHTML fairly well with the SGML parser and HTML renderer, all the developers really had to do was recycle most of the existing HTML rendering engine and the existing XML parser to produce an XHTML rendering engine, but of course they made up some bullshit about not wanting to implement it yet because they wanted to support it first (!?). Read: WE ARE SUPER-LAZY AND DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WEB DEVELOPERS, OR ANYONE REALLY.
Whoever modded this 'informative' needs to actually read the story.

there's a small list of stores NOT using Fairplay... emusic, rapsody, iTMS, and audible
Oops, I think you're way off base here. Apple invented Fairplay, so iTunes uses it. Also, Audible has a partnership with Apple whereby their files are compatible with the Fairplay system. So I'm not really sure what you're getting at here exactly, unless you meant PlaysForSure instead of Fairplay.
I agree with this. Google Maps in Zooomr is real nice. Even if you use Flickr right now, Zooomr's is definitely worth at least looking at for comparison. Not to mention that they had intuitive geotagging long before Flickr did.
Yes, they do. If you contact Apple Support and explain to them that you've lost your music, they will reset your account so that you can go to Advanced > Check for Purchases, which will then cause iTunes to re-download every track you've previously purchased with that account.
By 'iStore' I assume you're referring to iTunes. Maybe not, but it seems like it to me. You are simply wrong about losing iTunes tracks and never being able to recover them. Apple does, in fact, let you re-download tracks that you've bought in case they get deleted. I might also mention that being able to 'download all you want' from the Windows Media online stores doesn't mean that you actually OWN those tracks, just that you're renting them in the same manner that you can 'get shipped all the movies you want' from NetFlix.
Or maybe you knew this and were trolling all along.
Actually, I just thought of another idea, which would be to just use a splitter cable and record the audio on your own machine from two sources at once (one from the USB audio in on the Plantronics set, and the other being one side of the splitter cable redirecting the audio out from Skype back into the analogue audio in on your Mac).
Jennifer, you basically have two options. One would be to record it on your computer (which I assume is a Mac because that's what the Audio 85 is designed for) using a utility like Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba. The other way would be to use splitter cables for both the audio in and out and use a separate recording device, like a minidisc player or another computer, to record.
I'm curious though, what method for recording were you using before (that resulted in the hissing)?
we have this law called the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act
And it's a damn good idea if you ask me. Maybe not practical/enforceable if it's ever applied to the internet, but that's not the point.
Wouldn't it then make sense, according to McCain-Feingold, that I cannot create a banner ad endorsing a candidate?
You remind me of anti-gay marriage folk who say stuff like 'wouldn't it make sense then that I could marry a goat?' You're failing to understand that net neutrality doesn't have any inherent quality that says anything about freedom of speech, just that all packets on the internet should be treated equally. It has nothing to do with the 1st amendment.
If we allow the government to start regulating the transmission of information over the Internet, what prevents it from applying more regulation and censoring things, such as political speech?
Soon we'll be marrying three or four people together!
We are not evil. However, day-to-day operations cost money. Networks don't just run themselves.
...Which is precisely why you have end-user customers who pay money to subscribe to your service.
It may be the case that right now, not everyone will be able to pick. But how long is that market condition going to last? Consumers will demand access to everything, or they will go to their competition.
Are you seriously suggesting that the mere lack of competition will end up somehow creating competition? I absolutely hate when people make that argument, because it makes absolutely no sense. How will consumers go to competition when there isn't any?
I strongly say "neither". But then again, I'm not a socialist.
You say 'socialist' like you equate it with facism or something. Socialism just means trying to make sure no one gets unfairly screwed out of something.
Actually there seem to be multiple failures in this. Running Windows, not employing some sort of web filtering software, lax rules on conduct...I don't know where to even begin.
It seems like most so-called 'racism' out there isn't blatant and deliberate, but rather subtle and unintentional, made by everyday people who believe themselves not to be racist but occasionally come across that way. In the strictest sense, what could be percieved as 'racism' in WoW is racist insofar as the developers' consciousness of what they were doing. I mean, if someone at Blizzard observed Jamacians (well, actually Rastafarians, as not all Jamacians are as their stereotype makes them out to be) and then said to themselves, 'well I'll make a character out of that'...then I'd say that's racism. But if the resemblence was concieved at an unconscious level or was just a coincidence, well, that's not racism at all. I'm not sure we'll ever know which it was. Another great example is Jar-Jar Binks. On one hand, he looks like he's straight out of a minstrel show. On the other hand, maybe he's just a bumbling alien.
My own take on it is that it signifies not racism, but just some lack of creativity on Blizzard's part.
I don't know if you're ignorant or just a troll, but the bans have proven very successful in Brookfield, particularly because they happen to actually, uh, exempt certain establishments, such as cigar bars.
But hey, better to just ignore the facts and spread misinformation, right?
computers have no moving parts, and will last forever unless maltreated
Of course, this is bullshit. All kinds of non-moving parts wear out on computers. Power supplies come to mind, but also capacitors can blow, cold cathode LCD backlights can burn out or leak, lithium ion batteries will inevitably die, not to mention accumulating dust can wear out other components. I have computers that are 20 years old and still work fine, and probably will work fine, but I'd never use them in a mission critical situation for that long, period.

I love They Might Be Giants, but actually, they didn't write the song, they just covered it. Lou Singer and Hy Zaret did, in 1959.

I don't think we should kid ourselves. $5/gal gasoline is coming. Sooner than most probably hope.
Personally, I think the sooner it arrives, the sooner my fellow Americans will quit buying SUVs.
Engage the cloak, or the Wraith hive ships will come!
At what point do people simply say that our time keeping methods are good enough?
Well, quantum theory says that there is in fact a smallest possible period of time, called Planck time.
I assume that would be the limit. Not even the practical limit, but The Limit.
