That's actually a good idea, thanks. You could even permanently leave it in, and just take it out when you need to play music.

Yeah, I know, I was hoping for something easier. But apple does make it difficult to tweak settings...

Obviously on a desktop, yes, but I think this was meant for laptops. Plus not many people bring their desktops to class or a meeting

Although the spec bumps did transform the air from a niche model into a legitimate everyday laptop, for the most part. But I'm conflicted about this too, I'm not sure if I would have picked either.

You could make a case for it, since it's essentially spurred the ultrabook market into existence. Whether that will be as a flash in the pan like netbooks or the future of laptops is harder to say. So I think it may be looked upon as an important stepping stone.

I think we just have to keep beating back the SOPA-style laws as they sprout up. Liberty in any and all forms requires constant vigilance, it always has.

It's probably also a pride thing, sort of saying to the world "you know this guy? He did all kinds of cool stuff? Well he's OURS". I don't think Mick Jagger necessarily did things specifically for britain, but he was knighted to

With the standards of academic achievement today, and between afterschool activities and internships, I think a lot of kids would/do have trouble finding the time for an actual job while in high school; I know I did.

You say 1600 people die on the stairs every year, but you don't quantify that with a per-trip fatality rate, so you're comparing apples to oranges. Do people take the 60 stair trips for every elevator trip (1600/27)? I think I do, but I live on a hill. So the numbers are probably right, but it's disingenous to not…

Leading the way to energy independence, one stockingful at a time!

Well I think for a lot of kids in the suburbs, cars are as much a necessity (and a gift to parents, who no longer have to drive them places) because everything is spread out without public transportation. In the same way that a cell phone of some sort is becoming a necessity for a high school age kid these days. …

These seem to be mostly teenagers or preteens though (at least I hope so, judge by how infantile they sound).

Or that if you master your body you can vomit rainbows and unicorns.

I've never exactly been clear—there are no free usenet servers out there, right? You have to pay for access to all of them?

Thanks for taking the time to type this up, it's fascinating.

! I've never even heard of 4 dollar matinees. I pay more than that for popcorn.

According to this [www.americanmusical.com] It's 300. I don't know anything about guitar amps, but that doesn't seem that bad to me.

Interesting. Is there a difference between the results of those two processes, in practice? As Rob said, I was basically think things like General Tsao, Chop Suey, Orange Chicken, etc that are far sweeter and usually more heavily fried than their real Chinese progenitors. I know some of those, like Chop Suey, are…

Are you even the 1%? You might be. But you are not the 1% that we're all complaining about and railing against. Maybe if instead of making 350k last year you made 10 or 20m, and you weren't saddled with student debt. And instead of being penalized if you fuck up when you practice your medicine (in the analogy, a…
