You ever wanna see the cesspool of humanity, check out any of the Yahoo forums accompanying any news story. Any story - doesn't matter - it will inevitably contain the dumbest, most racist and offensive comments you're bound to hear regarding any issue. What's almost funnier/more pathetic are those ...

Having realized that I have about 40 Gigs of jazz mp3s off of emusic alone, I now need to get a dedicated player (rather than burning everything on CDRs). And since I have a few hundred bucks worth of Best Buy credit courtesy of an Xmas bonus, I'm trying to decide between an Ipod (20 GB) or a Zen (p...

I've always seen IBM's open architecture as the reason it has flourished while Apple has struggled (relatively speaking). I initially was a Mac guy (when they were first dumped on colleges in the early 80s), but once I realized how inflexible they were in the early days compared to the IBMs, I beca...

Christ, that's the most boring test I've ever heard. I can't imagine that was fun. I'm gonna have to apologize to my wife for making her listen to two (and only two) pairs of speakers when i was A-B'ing them a few years back. I never realized the pain she must have endured... My favorite line: Some ...

Agreed. This is gonna be a 60+ CD set, and not at bargain prices either. I would suspect - hope? - that by archiving the label in such a way that it will open up the possibility of artist comps and smaller box sets. It's gonna be kinda funny seeing all those who have been clamoring for such a box se...

Glad to hear that they didn't ruin the tapes further. I may have to get this after all, just to hear what the American versions sounded like, but I just can't get too excited over this. Reading the long review thread at SHTV is like watching some huge musical circle jerk. Aside from a small handful ...

Let's not blame the FCC for this... yet. Wildmon and his conservative cronies threatened to file complaints (and did) and some ABC affiliates backed down from playing Ryan because of fears of being fined - well, that fear's legitimate because the FCC has been rather, uh, inconsistent lately. I don't...

Wow, wouldn't that be a kick in the pants now that the media has expended all this effort telling us the sociopolitical reasons behind W's "mandate." I dunno about any "mandate," but he still won the popular vote for what that's worth - I don't think any fraud could be that big. Still, I'd gladly t...
