Sorry, I did a terrible job mashing two topics together and getting the worst of both.
1. Radio getting worse --> RIAA OldStyle "Top40 Machine" is on the fade. I think I tried to say there's a limit to the number of genres that fit that sales profile: bland enough to not require much work to listen to, upbeat enough to drive to, with a hook Consumer will remember long enough to buy a CD.
2. I agree that creativity is exploding - but at such a unique level I'm not sure if anything stays put long enough to separate "genre" from "marketing fad" name. To me it's becoming just "That Artist's Sound". Gothic-Bhangra-Enya-Punk-Progessive-Violin becomes verbal saltwater swirl toffee. Forget the colors and just enjoy.
MS has done it best to fool honest folks like you that you have no choice but to downgrade to XP just because of their (disastrous IMO) UI switch. Office2007 UI has value... *as a HYBRID*.
So, back to Win 7. I hear it's actually got some solid stuff in it - Vista rebuilt tech, but with at least some of the rust scraped off. I'm sure some of the other UI will be junk too. So I'll get a fix for that. The rest of the OS may actually have useful deep support for emerging tech, especially when the famed MS-Essential SP1/SP2 emerges.
There was a vague musical trend of each half-decade up until about 2005. You could decided something felt "dated" but at least it felt like it belonged to some era.
Now they're running out of fresh genres, and desperately working the 2nd level blended stuff.
Someone hands you a fun destination four towns away... lookee, you don't have time to go home and net-map it! Sure, I MAY be able to fudge the destination adhoc, but I'd lose some half hour or more in the process, and too often that's the difference between being late and on time. In my lifestyle, being late *does* translate into nasty consequences.
I had previously given up going anywhere; now I am actively going places.
I *learned* nav skills from the gps. I'm just not neurally happy with the spatial learning stuff, but I am pretty strong on linguistics. So *hearing* the verbally created directions means I can find it myself later.
Are you sure you can't afford one? They're down to like $150 for the cheap models, and it's basically a "twice per lifetime" purchase.
Once it actually connects I have never missed a destination from lack of signal.
"Dead reckoning vs specific addresses"... exactly the point, because here the roads are all twisty and often unmarked, and at the zoom level to see them on a map makes ya buy 30 maps aka useless.
I also agree with AC who said he "tuned out people". I gave up trying to piece together "2nd left after the flower shop" suff.
This is sounding like we have to create the Kurt Godel Day to get out of this.
Anyone know who the lead trade groups are for pictures? "Hi. My friend Logan sent me his pr0n and a "enhancement support" file. When decrypted by NSA backdoor methods, bitmapped by Bruce Schneier's birthday, XOR'ed by the original pr0n and then "evaluated by a special program" well, the result JUST MIGHT sound like music."
So does Sound Exchange really want to trade in Pr0n?
They already do - it's called a Social Security number. Funny thing - it's personally identifiable all right... "virtually stamped" for life. So the judge issued a fairly complex ruling. An IP is not identifiable in all cases, cue the sysadmins. So the NEXT ruling down the pike is something like "neither is an IP wholly disconnected and may be contributory to identifiable info."
"In Plain Sight" - a Multipurpose provocative treatment.
Act 1: China Because of the Green Dam rules on new Chinese computers, hackers took to modifying the Green Dam's actual behavior. By using a keyboard remapping system, with patterns known to both sides, key messages were embedded in the grass grazed on by MudHorses.
Act 2: France The French, typically known to resist the strongest forms of opression but struggling recently with rising political forces, worked with the owner of the French version of the Goatse man, which is now the most popular troll when the original Christmas Island copy was retired from full strength. For a fee, revolutionary data will be embedded steganographically into the image.
Act 3: USA Spinning a darker twist on William Gibson, Stretchers are the new data couriers. Using medically safe pouches sewn into their regions, these couriers are outwardly bland, thus to fit the TSA profiles of Safe Citizens.
With a gripping plot and surprising research, look for In Plain Sight Coming Soon!*
OhMyGawd, by accident you might have stumbled onto TehWin.

You were right until the book publishers also caved to the "Don'Wanna'Read" crowd at the same time. I improved my grade by some 3 points because the older edition I picked out of a department ex-libris bin had more thorough explanations everywhere. Then on mean days I'd ask "brilliant" questions based on material that wasn't in the new edition.
W. has *eight years* to send our country careening off the deep end. He got re-elected in 2004. That says something.
Obama knows that. He's already begun to dismantle W's crap. In politics you get elected by the Rally Cry. Then in office you have to slow it down because you can't afford to flame out.
Sorry good sir. All the complete horse $hit has mysteriously vanished from the tracks and the stables. The Apple trees are gone too.
The carbon compounds you see are from proprietary, non-reproducing animals like the mule on the desktop, and a smaller animal similar to the well liked Pony, is being developed for riders with lower speed riding needs.
Talks are underway in Michigan to return the land back to quadraped friendly parkways suitable for buggies. The whips may be found on the internet.

Yea yea, "stuff wants to be free", but this is plugin I gladly paid for:

It already has.

Heavens no, that would be accepting a marriage proposal.
California can't handle that yet.
"Options/shortest distance".
That's always the tradeoff with Fastest Time when the freeway version is 2 miles longer and 10 minutes faster.
I disagree. For me Satnav *is* vital for travel.
Someone hands you a fun destination four towns away... lookee, you don't have time to go home and net-map it!

Chops to your military exp. I still have no use for the paper side, but I agree with the redundancy bit, so I bought a twin copy of the gps itself.
The day that the sat SERVER dies, I'll solve that day's problem adhoc and just buy twin copies of the next gen version.
I *learned* nav skills from the gps. I'm just not neurally happy with the spatial learning stuff, but I am pretty strong on linguistics. So *hearing* the verbally created directions means I can find it myself later.

We can brainstorm this on email if you like.
It's just about my top interest topic.
IANACS though. But neat to have another acronym.
Now and Forever,
Remember the songs from a CD,
Can always be sold again.
Lock it as tight,
as DRM will allow,
Until all the money is gone.
The Freedom that existed,
Is all over now.

Do those little utilities we used to use with Win95 memory leaks work on this, or will FF not let go of it?
I'd give this time.

No, that's DDR playing a remix of ABBA's Dancing Queen!
(DDR seems to have gotten the difficulty scale right!)
Wait, a copy of DOS 6.0 would have solved the Northrup Grumman problem in the other story?
"All exiting drives must be reformatted with Dos 6.0, which will Promote Data Volatility past the expected recovery half life."
The Hoff was right this time though. He TOLD us that the data is "Looking For Freedom."
