There was this kid who really liked cutting weeds in the south forty with a machete. He cut weeds so much that it effected his school work and he never spent time with his family. One day his mom took his machete away and told him to do his homework like a good little boy. I'll be darned if that kid didn't steal back his machete and cut his mom in half with it. In court, they blamed the machete. Can you believe that?
He couldn't find a high enough resolution image of the cover either because they aren't rays of light. It's as if the picture has a plate of glass over it and there is a crack "down there"
I think that the problem with "pay as you go" would be theft. People have no clue how to secure their wireless networks and others would be stealin' bandwidth left and right if it would save them money. The honest (and dim witted) people would get huge bills.
Do you really play enough craps to notice a.35% difference? Obviously, the casino will see the difference since they play 24 hours a day. Is it worth it to go to a "crappy casino" for less that a half a percent advantage?
I wouldn't say that it's a placebo. We first gave it to them when they were too young to even know what we were giving it to them for. For instance, my son would be asleep and coughing. We give him cough syrup at 11:30 at night. He doesn't even really wake up. He stops coughing. Why mess with what works?
Whenever the subject matter turns to cough syrup, somebody inevitably mentions a study that proves that they don't work. All I know is that when I have a sick kid hacking up a lung all night, I give them cough syrup and it goes away.
When you sign a record contract, it is for a set period. When that period is up, you are free from obligation. You can give as much music away as you want. You don't owe the record execs another dime.
You have a bunch of nerds (self included) with high speed Inet access, stacking up their harddrives with all the MP3/Divx/Porn/Animes/Warez they can find...
Those are, incidentally, the names of the 5 hard drives I have in my desktop:)
Same here, just slightly different. Mine say MP3z/Divxz/Pornz/Animez/Warez.
I listen to a lot of audiobooks and using an iPod makes it really convenient. When I had an iRiver player back in the day, it was a pain remembering which file I was on. Sure it would resume fine when I would turn it off and back on at a later time. But when I wanted to listen to music, I would have to remember which file I was on. And if the file was really long, I would have to remember which point in that file I had left off. It also reset when I charged it or added files.
With an iPod OTOH, you can use smart playlists and remember playback position. For instance, I am currently listening to the "Saga of the Seven Suns" book #1 "Hidden Empire." I make a smart playlist that plays every file with the title "hidden empire" with a play count of zero. As I am listening to the book the files are automatically removed from the playlist because they are marked with a playcount of "1." If I want to listen to some music, I can go ahead and do so. When I am ready to go back to my book, I just load the first file on the playlist and it resumes where I left off in the correct playback position.
When my iPod video started to die, I got a Meizu M6 after reading many great reviews. I wish I had waited for the iPods to come out, because I really miss the smart playlist feature.

I just read it for the 1st time at age 32 and I thought it was epic.

Fixed it for you. The letters are now in alphabetical order. LIKE THEY SHOULD BE!

"Insiders described the filming process as particularly messy from a technical and logistical standpoint."
I think he was listening to a lot of The Cure at the time.

It is illogical to think that a cart can go faster than the slowest horse.

Well, you should see the video in TFA.

Quit it...
Also, just being on the list makes stock holders happy. They like to see that their company is making an effort.
Thanks a lot fart-eater.
Wouldn't a little boat be just as efficient (if not more) without all of the robot research.

The kissing stat invalidates the survey. I cannot take a poll seriously with this complete fabrication.
