  1. Re:Can PC users tets it and report? on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I need the Artist-file.mp3 naming for my CD player in my car.

  2. Re:Can PC users tets it and report? on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    I imported my library too, but didn't have it move my files. But I have to say I don't like the lack of file naming options. I do the Artist-title.mp3 naming too.

  3. Re:Insanely great on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    I know that, but having subfolders means I have to look down at the screen of my stereo to find an artist folder and I have to push buttons, rather than just playing them in order (the stereo does alpha by default) so I can't just put 100 songs with differnet artists without them getting mixed up.

    The point I like to have more control over how files are saved and I think all encoding software should.

    Or people who read Dave Barry's Syndicated column.

  5. Re:Insanely great on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    I was thinking that too until I converted a CD to MP3 and burned it too a CD, so I can use it in my cool new Kenwood CD deck that plays in my car. The problem I found: No way to configure how files are named when converted to MP3. For my CD's for my car I like about 100 songs sorted by Artist name. But iTunes will only name the file based on track name.

  6. It happens again. on A Real Living With Virtual Goods · · Score: 1

    I think this is all going down the road of too little information.

    Maybe she told the people what it was worth and they still didn't want to deal with it. I've seen my brother-inlaw tell another vendor what he could sell something for and still offer him much less than that and they would take that offer.

    If she was truly hired as an apraisor and she told them it was worth $200 she was a jerk. If she told them it was worth $2000 and she would give them $200 because she wasn't sure if she could sell it at the price or how long it would take her or if she just needs a high profit margin.

    I would guess that the senario was more an offer to sell a bunch of stuff in the house for what ever anyone would give. To get it out of the way.

    Or she maybe an ass. I don't know I just hate seeing people jump on someone with no defense.

  7. Re:Problem with it is ... on A Real Living With Virtual Goods · · Score: 2, Informative

    He's making money knowing what people will pay for items and who to sell them too.

    It's a lot like an auto swapmeet. My dad and brother-inlaw make a living doing swapmeets and it's about the same method. Knowing what people will pay for somthing and having it on hand.

    My dad sells nothing but lights and lenses and my brother-inlaw nothing but emblems. Most people seem to think they go to junk yards and strip the stuff off cars, but they buy everything at the same swapmeets everyone goes to. The key is specialization, they look around through the piles or crap that Joe "I have some parts" laying around has and they find the parts worth value. In the swapmeet business the key being able to identify parts, because most people can't look at a 65' Charger turnsignal and know what it is off the car. My dad finds it a the bottom of a box some guy has pays a couple bucks and sells it a few weeks later for $30.

    Like online games he can get that because people come to him looking for lenses for there car and pay the big money so they don't have to do all the work of searching when they can goto one source and buy what they need as soon as they need it.

  8. Re:I played, I sold, I quit on A Real Living With Virtual Goods · · Score: 1

    It's just like any market, you don't do the work you just find the deals.

    I think if he ever wanted to find a job, he could get an entry level sales job or a purchasing job if the interviewer played any online game.

  9. Re:Please explain... on Build Your Own Mac With CoreCrib Kit · · Score: 1

    I was actually looking for parts to build my own Mac before the kits came out. I don't have much money at anyone time and I tend to build computers piece by piece. I don't want to have a loan to apple for a computer I wouldn't use all the time. With a kit like this I could buy the kit....wait when I get some cash again and buy a processor and many of the other parts are PC based so I could throw in an old 10GB drive in until I can afford a bigger one, same with memory and such.

  10. Did anyone else think this was funny. on Judge Decides X-Men Aren't Human · · Score: 1

    Veteran comics fan Christian Cooper, who once worked as a Marvel editor, thinks Judge Barzilay got carried away. If Kraven isn't human, what about the twisted villains in Dick Tracy? Or worse yet, Superman himself?

    "Here's a guy who changes his clothes in a phone booth and flies through the air," says Mr. Cooper. "Does that mean he's now an animal?"

    Isn't Superman from another plannet? I think that would make him less human than anyone.

  11. Apple Trying to out-do Microsoft on Apple Applies For Color-Change Patent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft has niffty blue screen to tell you something is wrong with the computer. Now Apple is out-doing them by making the computer change color when things go wrong.

    User: Hello.
    Apple: This is Apple support, how may I help you?
    User: My computer is flashing, and it is all black.
    Apple: What is the pattern?
    User: Three short flashes followed by three long flashes.
    Apple: If I were you I would drop the phone and run away!

    Just for the sake of narrowing down the questions to one's not answered elsewhere. This answers part of the question from HenryRollins.com "Last April I was contacted by Cathy Rogers who co-hosted and co-produces "Junkyard Wars." She told me about a new show she was working on called "Full Metal Challenge."

  13. Re:Engine Code Analysis on CAE Tools for Car Performance Modifications? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you have given this a try yet, but AutoZone and other Autoparts places have scan tools for rent or even just to borrow. At the Auto Zone near me they come out and get the codes for you for free.

  14. Isn't this a physical security problem on LED Lights: Friend or Foe? · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, but if you want to be this secure why would your modems be in a place where people could see them. They should be locked up in your server room or such. If they could see the blinking lights, odds are they could walk up and get information much easier than from LED's.

  15. Geeks can have a good Valentine's day on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 1

    Wow, two geeks getting married. That is the best slashdot Valentine's day post ever. Good luck you crazy kids. So if they have a son will he be private burrito?

  16. The area boards wouldn't allow it to happen. on Searching for Real Estate Using the 'Net? · · Score: 1

    My company does the computer support for a large Realtor in Ann Arbor Michigan, and from what I have gathered from observation and inference is that the area Boards of Realtors don't want you to look for homes yourself. The software for each board is different. The Ann Arbor area uses NetMLS from interealty corp. The Jackson and Livingston county areas use software called PCAccess but connect to different servers. The software or access to the databases stored by the each areas board of realtors is very expensive and all only Windows based. Even the so called web based NetMLS requires IE 5.0 and can only be used on Windows based machines. I can't see any of the boards desiding to get together and make one database searchable by the common person. That would cut in on there profits as brokers.

  17. I can E-mail Grandma now on USPS To Offer Free E-Mail · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the rest of you but the idea of being able to send an E-mail that is printed then delivered sounds great to me. Finally I'll keep in contact with the relitives that have sworn of computers until they die.
