  1. Re:Gods Must Be Crazy on It's Official -- Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    I find it amusing that you deem spanish as the unofficial 3rd language, implying that English is the US's official language, when, as far as I know, the US has no official languages whatsoever.

    I do however agree that spanish would be the next most prevalent language.

  3. Re:Other options on Disney's Disposable DVDs Deemed Duds · · Score: 1

    Depending on where you buy your DVDs, buying right away can have it's advantages as well. As much as I hate Circuit City, I go there to buy DVDs on release day because they are typically 13.99 or 14.99. As soon as Sunday or Monday hits they are jacked up to full price. There is a lot of competition for "this week" releases and there are many deals to be had.

  4. Re:A better usage on 'Just Sleep On It' Solves Tricky Problems? · · Score: 1

    I do this pretty much every night. I go to bed, and get up at variable times depending on what I have planned for the day/meetings/etc. I don't like to be jerked awake by an obnoxious alarm, so when I go to bed I look at the clock and say to myself "I want to get up at X o'clock in X hours" I would say that it is sucessfully 95 times out of 100. However, if I wake up on time and decide to "snooze" for 10 more minutes I invariably wake up much later.

    I think it would be more appropriate to call it a "customer cell" not a company cell. The plow drivers in question are contractors for the state, not employees.

  12. Re:I can't even import all my MP3s into it on iTunes for Windows Reviews · · Score: 1

    There is a key thing to remember about "importing". If you just want to add the files to your library there is a seperate funciton for that. When you attempt to "import" your music collection it actually begins copying your entire collection to the iTunes directory.

    This may or may not have been your problem, but it caught me off guard at first.

    I don't think you should ever trust someone trying to sell you something.

    We have a reasonable amount of Sun, and some big blue with AIX, some RedHat and some MS. When we need to build/install a system we weigh the options we have available to us at that time, based on the options that our requirements give us. I don't think that these companies are my friend, I think they want my money. Always.
