on the high end if you are recording with an iphone and not something like a dedicated recorder like the xoom H2n or other dedicated hardware you are an idiot anyway.
bullshit. I have 3 @ TTB drives, FULL of music (DJ gig) and if i had to browse it using itunes id shoot myself in the face. There are numerous options out there (some baked in) that can pull album info directly. I simply pick the genre i need to DJ that night, (my folders are set up generally like this - decade - genre -artist (sometimes record label than artist) album - track. Makes it pretty easy to find anything i need for a show (wedding, birthday party for people aged 8-80). Itunes is fucking garbagge and has been from the start. Even when I had an ipod, i used a program called anapod explorer (dont know if they are still around) but it let me drag and drop onto the ipod.
The thing is, all those items are just better marketed, none of them were the best, or the first.
I had an MP3 player in 99, which honestly was better (and other than storage) is still better than the ipod. It could handle more formats, and I could control everything about it.
the iphone - not the first touch screen phone. and if people remember it was lacking many options that phones have had for years (copy and paste anyone?? or did everyone forget that jobs said no one needs to copy and paste on a phone....)
macbook air - over priced under powered device for its time when it first came out. the only thing it had going for it was shiney and thin. not something i really care about in a laptop, but i will admit i am not the target for the air, i still like my 17 inch laptops)
ipad - not the first tablet, and not the best tablet even today. locked down to the app store, no expanded storage, etc. Ill take an android/windows/linux tab over the ipad anyday.
now i will give you the fact that these things have kept apple alive, but not because they are the best, but because people are stupid and fall for lame marketing
A "rich" person in NY (rich by the books, not by living ability) can pay over 60% of their money in taxes. between state- federal - local -city -and other taxes it can easily add up to over 60%. Hell I was only making 45K as of last year and payed 49% (more if you could sales tax and other taxes) and 45K in NY is barely getting by.
the ACLU is not an org I can trust anymore. Lately it seems they only fight for minority rights, not civil rights. The EFF has been getting most my donation money these days
except for the entire intelligence community believed saddam had WMDs, I didnt, most on this blog didnt, but the entire western intelligence did. They were proven wrong but to say no one believed it is revisionist history.
The only point I would disagree with is point 3. we are trillions in debt, we should not be spreading our riches until that debt is worked down and our jobless/homeless issue is resolved. Once we are back in the black things wil be different but we cannot go on with major cities going bankrupt and china owning us through debt.
im sure it could turn out well, im just saying start a spin off if that is the way you wanna go rather thn change the entire 40 years of programming to placate feminists, (who IMO are the worst group of people out there these days, pushing for things that make no sense.)
notat all the point i was getting at. Simply put, men and women are not equal. and that is ok! The problem is there is a movement that is trying to say that everyone is equal when it simply isnt true. not being equal doesnt mean one group is less than the other, just that they are different. The only reason to change the char to a female is to push a politically correct agenda. 40 years of the show, and now some people make a big deal about the fact that hes a man? what next men getting upset that cat woman is a woman and not a man?
It seems there is a subset of people out there who just can never be happy unless they are going against the grain. There will be people out there who make a big deal about who the next Doctor is regardless of who gets it. Not everything has to be groundbreaking or new. Sometimes tried and trusted are the way to go.
from my understanding they are at the early adoptor phase, so not generally availible to the masses yet. normal plastic 3d printers are still pricey so the metal ones are a few grand more expensive. cheepest one ive seen was about 11K
actually there are metal 3d printers. they are just not as common and generally not what many are speaking of when talking 3d printers at this point in time. I just did a quick google search and found this one fvor example http://www.3dsystems.com/3d-printers/production/spro-125-direct-metal
And sadly most americans are too busy voting for the next american idol champion to even understand that the people that they vote into office are being bribed into removing more and more of our freedoms. The media has done their job well, that is they have actively assisted in the dumbing down of america.
The USPS wouldnt actually be in the red if it werent for the stupid rules congress imposed on them a few years back where they are the only federal entity that has to have 100% retirement funds paid for (my understyanding is the industry standards are 10-15% funded) In fact they were doing fairly well until the change.
about 1/2 of my C64 and C128 5 1/4 floppies are still working in the C128 (the 2 64s i have no longer boot, i think a cap popped) the other half are unreadable, at least by the handful of 5 1/4 drives I own. Some of these disks are almost 30 years old. Kept in temp controlled room for the past 13 years (when i aquired them from a school). I cant say ive tested all disks (i have over 500 pounds in weight, just in floppy disks and sleves) but I have to admit that some disks that I know worked in the past are not workng as of 6 months ago when I had the urge to set everything back up. But the point im getting at is that there is no way DVDs, DVD-rs or even DVD-rws have a 7 year life.
I prefer "people who want to see the sources of the work that backs up AGW, but for some reason the scientists who support AGW will not allow it to bee peer reviewed...."
I am going to assume that in the 60s there were not buildings near the old test location and in the past 50 years buildings have been built in what was once forrest or otherwise land not inhabited.
Damn, well thank you for passing this along. I like to consider myself an apollo buff, although I havent kep up on it as much as I got older (im one of those who was lucky enough to go to space camp as a child in the early 90s) I saw a program about the time the new moon missions were planned that said alot of the blueprints and paperwork were lost over the years. I never bothered to look into it but I had always hoped what i saw was wrong.

For the record, I was an apple fan right up until around 2004. It was about that time i started losing interest and saw the writing on the wall

look at greece. the facts are that they cant afford it.

it wasnt a new tactic, the democrats love to bitch about the filibuster, but the facts are they have used it just as much over the years.

The same scientists who wont let us peer review their work? you will take their word on this?
