EasyTag (requires GTK) saved me hours and hours sorting out my 35GB music collection. It has a pretty customisable 'Scan' feature, which will let you tell it exactly what pieces of information to pull from directory, sub-directory and filename. IIRC, You can also access one or two online cddb-type things to take care of tagging and filenaming known albums that are sitting in a folder still titled Track01, Track02 etc. Also, you don't have to do your entire collection at once, you can exclude folders and modify the Scan rules to accommodate them, or handle them manually after the rest is taken care of.
As for remixes, I prefer titling them as "Artist - Title (2nd Artist Remix)" or something along those lines. It saves a bunch of hassle with groups or artists that have tons of remixes and collaborations.
Want to off someone with food? Can't go wrong with a Luther Burger!
Some versions of the Luther Burger are made with two donuts. At other times, a single donut is cut in half and grilled after the meat has been cooked separately; the donut halves are placed around the meat glazed-side-in, and the whole sandwich is flattened on the grill and cooked briefly to allow for somewhat less messy consumption. They often include cheese and/or bacon but normally no vegetables or condiments such as ketchup, mustard, pickles, or relish, all of which might normally accompany a burger.
A huge part of the effectiveness of FOIA legislation is in knowing what there actually is to ask for in the first place. I can just imagine the flood of new requests they're going to be receiving over the next couple of weeks.
Bluetooth support on Ubuntu took me (and my el-cheapo USB dongle) one package from the repositories and about 10 minutes of fiddling, probably the same or less time all up than installing the XP drivers that came with it on another machine.
Back in the old days, you had to get someone's surname, phone number, a directory and a mp book before you could even get started.
Fun times, fun times...
Scaremongering is an extremely common form of political discourse, and by no means limited to Australian politics; hell, it's probably less rampant here than in American politics - this is, by and large, a fairly peaceful country, and there hasn't been an attack - military, terror-related or otherwise - for a couple of decades AFAIK. The scaremongering usually relates to welfare/healthcare, workers' and students' rights, civil liberties, taxes, nothing spectacular.
We have a pretty-much two party system, the juggernauts being Liberal, actually liberal-conservative, and Labor, who are centre-left, with a bunch of small to medium special interest groups (Greens, One Nation, Libertarians et al.) who occasionally win a parliamentary seat here and there.
I can't vote here as I'm not a citizen, but I did work at a polling station two federal elections ago, and I can tell you there was a decent proportion of deliberately spoiled ballots, which effectively do get counted as 'none of the above,' or votes for smaller special-interest groups like marijuana legalisation activists, religious 'family values' outfits, etc.
You can and I have. The TSA have a special tool to open them without the key (which changes the indicator from green to red on applicable models); as far as everyone else is concerned, it's just a padlock. At least several models also include a warranty that covers them for TSA destruction; if they clip it, you get a free replacement from the manufacturer/retailer.
You can get TSA-certified luggage locks at pretty much any self-respecting travel store or airport newsagent now. Most of them include an indicator to tell whether or not the lock was actually opened without your key, so you know if your stuff's been inspected. They're also available online, of course, e.g. http://www.safeskieslocks.com/store.html
I think they're onto something there. Whilst I'm no prodigy, I've been a fairly enthusiastic devilstick juggler for about 12 years now, and probably better than 95% of the others I've met. That said, my skill level probably hasn't changed all that much in the last 5 years or so, since I slacked off on the 'effortful study' phase, which saw me never leaving the house without a set with which to play/practice.
I don't really feel any pressing need to get better at that particular field, but I've been getting more interested in improving my firestaff twirling this summer (southern hemisphere). I might take the articles implied advice and see what sort of results it yields. Granted it's not chess, but I'll see where it takes me.
Most of the drug dealers I have met are nice people who take great personal risks to provide people with freedom of choice.
I agree 100%, and don't believe that this is a troll comment at all.
I do make a distinction between 'mind-altering substances' (DMT, MDMA, various shrooms) and the few highly addictive 'hard' drugs that really do fuck people up (ice and heroin come to mind), but that can come up for debate after we finally admit that people have the right to do alter their own minds and bodies at will. You get people who sell harmful products, get people addicted to them, and milk them for all they're worth, and yes these people are scum. Some of those people are drug dealers, but sugarcane farmers, tobacco companies, pharmaceutical corporations, McDonalds and American Express also spring to mind.

Right here.

who would accept screenshots as proof of anything? Ask the RIAA...

Exploding laptop batteries? Pffft. Dell's got some catching up to do.
Maybe you could render it useless by installing WinCE on the nuke itself.

Well, looks like at least one of us is pretty much fucked then.
