From TFA:
"At the Ville Ste. Catherine plant, the animal and fat waste arrives from a rendering plant as a thick brown liquid -- with a gut-wrenchingly rancid smell. It leaves as an almost odorless clear yellow fuel"
I'm all for this sort of thing, just not within olfactory distance of my house (or my commute, or my work, etc).
Probably selfish, I know. But I already have a Conagra "chicken factory" about 3 miles away, and with just the right wind (and factory) conditions, I get a whiff of the wonderful work they do there. This plant would probably smell an order of mag worse!
As far as I can tell, the Pandora guys wised up about this (at least on Windows). I spent some time digging around trying to scrap off an MP3, but they were purging the cache as soon as the song was over. Also, the file name was not descriptive of the song, so you'd still have to rename the damn file for each and every file played. Oh, well.
It's still a pretty cool service. The fact that you can mark songs as bad once you get a station running means that you can hone the type of sound you're looking for. However, it's still disconcerting to hear some of the songs that are offered up.

He got it right. See if it can express withdrawal symptoms from it's drug of choice!
Ever heard of Austin Powers?
ED is the wrong approach. National Security would have a lot more bite in this situation.
