Losing battle. Modern life gets more and more bloodless.

All aboard!

Ditto.

You must have gotten your best and worst slide sets mixed up, because the Ford, Range Rover and MB lights are actually quite nice. The rest are luminous abortions.

"Given... the growing realization... that the minivan is neither sexy nor the best use of space, the Transit Connect is close to our ideal family vehicle on paper"

A lot of people in the comments here are talking about having a landline because getting that bundle from their cable provider was cheaper, or saying they have a landline from Vonage.

If I understand Fla correctly, Noshay could have just shot Espeland when first approached in the parking lot - stand your ground, and all that.

Eh... Apple folks are so cool and modern they only use mobile devices?

People who use iOS are so talented and the equipment they use so perfect, that this sort of thing means nothing to them. People who use Linux already have a 49-character command they type to do the same thing, for fixing the snaps of hot babes surreptitiously snuck on their cellphones at Comic Con .

Since I only ever listen to my portable devices in less than optimal conditions - rumbling trains, street noise, airplane whine, etc... I only need decent quality. For me, 128kbps does the trick, and I've even done 64 ten years ago when space was at a premium. These days, I generally transcode to 160 or 192.
