Give http://www.cometdocs.com/iTunesxml2m3u.htm a shot!

If I understand it right, it's randomly chosen from the list of songs that has only 1 recommendation (the submitter's) so that it gets more exposure than the once around on the main page. The rotation happens at 3:00 a.m. EST, if I'm not mistaken.

My first computer had a tape drive. A Commodore Vic 20. I wonder how long a cassette tape needs to be to hold a TB not to mention a PB?

I mean like, I have the new brit Femme Fatale album, ripped it to FLAC.

I used MAX to convert it to ALAC and everything is fine, but when I checked the bit rates of each individual songs in iTunes they were different, is it supposed to be like this or is it some problem with MAX and how it encodes them?

Like one song would have 900 something and another song would have 1100 something, it's weird.

Another lightweight car that is just damn fun, especially when one literally drops a 350 small block in!

Datsun 240z:

Any larger versions out there? It is a lovely image but too small a resolution for my monitor.I'm afraid I don't know of any larger resolution. I don't quite know if there's anything.

Have you tried the green bubble in the top left of the window?

There is an interesting phenomenon of "steadiness" (my words). As engines get more fuel efficient, people buy bigger/more powerful cars. Today's engines (per some measure I forget that makes sure the measure is for similar power/weight ratios) use something like a 10th of the fuel to produce the same power as engines from the '70s. The unheralded success story is that engine engineers have done the same thing with the internal combustion engine as electrical engineers did with electronics.

Similar thing for the areodynamics.

It's us, the consumer, that buggered up the fuel savings. We wanted 6 cylinders instead of 4, and 8 instead of 6. We wanted torque, power, and speed. We wanted trucks instead of cars. We wanted vans instead of station-wagons. Then we added all the electrical things (which rob an engine of power). Power windows, brakes, steering, computers, GPS units, DVD players, AC, heated seats etc.

So - as engine efficiency improved we added things that needed power, so that our mileage rates stayed "steady". We are getting more - for the same.

Same thing happens for freeways. It has been known for a long time that building more roads doesn't make traffic flow better - it merely allows for more cars. People will live, on average, about 40 minutes from work. If you build a new freeway to cut that commute time to 30 minutes.... they move 10 minutes further out.

I lived in city with no highways... Vancouver, BC (if you don't count the 5km or so of the #1 that cuts through the NE corner). Has been in the top 3 to 5 (usually at #1) ranked most liveable cities in the world for a number of years now.

We now live in the country, and a Passat has no appeal to me. Though we do drive a Smart Car. We love taking it to the US where there are far fewer of them. We get stopped at gas stations by people who are curious about it, and who think it's a toy. I just tell them that my $25 fill up will take me close to 500km (~300miles) - as they are hitting the $100 mark on their top up - that they do every couple of days. Hee Hee. We also get discounted street parking in Victoria, free hotel parking at some locations in Victoria, and preferred parking at some malls and in Sidney.

There is a long term move to dismantle government social programs and who needs the truth when we can lie to you gullible idiots? You know we can't afford your social program and school because we have these billion, thats B-I-L-L-I-O-N dollar bombers that need building. We can't let our contractor friends down.

One of the few time I agree with the OP: We (referring to the U.S.A) Are Screwed.

This is all very simplistic, but here goes:
1. Reform Health care- one illness from bankruptcy is not acceptable for a developed country. Health care should have never been turned into a profit machine along the same lines that you don't want your police and firemen as for-profit enterprises. The larger the pool the smaller the costs.
2. Cut Federal programs before lowering taxes especially on the rich- you can't balance a budget if you have no income. If you must lower taxes, you must first cut the programs and deal with the popular unrest before cutting any taxes. This is exactly what the champion of the Republican Party did not do- Reagan, he cut taxes but not programs and this country ran the first substantial deficits since WWII.
3. Progressive Tax policies are a must- The rich are rich. Make them pay their fair share. They can afford it. Cutting their taxes to create jobs is mostly a conservative smoke screen to **** over average citizens. Trickle Down Economics, called voodoo economics by Bush Sr, equates to let the rich eat cake and rest of you can have the crumbs that fall off their plate.
4. Stop allowing the Exportation of Jobs- If you want to keep a standard of living. Lowering the standard of living reduces income and tax revenues.
5. Enact policies that support a strong Middle Class- instead of wiping it out for the sake of the rich. A strong middle class powers the economy.
6. Search High and Low for Corruption- No system will work if it's corrupt. Thieves submitting thousands of fraudulent Medicare claims is hurting us. It also destroys the validity of any social program so conservatives can wave it in your face and say "see social programs are bad."
7. Stop supporting Illegal Immigrants- We can't afford the cost of rounding up millions of illegals and deporting them. Enact policies that go after employers. If they can't get hired, eventually they will go back home. In Minnesota I remember when all the house building crews were made up of locals. Now they are all Hispanics. Don't get me wrong, my wife is Hispanic so I have nothing against Hispanics nor immigrants, just illegal ones. And if an illegal alien has a kid here, do not give that kid citizen status. We do have the right to have and enforce citizenship standards.
8. Dismantle the War Machine- in the good ole days we could afford it. Now we can't.
9. Taxes vs Services- Have a NO **** discussion on taxes vs services we want government to supply. Don't just run a "I'll lower your taxes" campaign.
10. Push for Domestic Manufacturing and a Level World Wide Playing Field- It's a social, economic, and security issue. If we can't can't dump toxic waste in the river but China can, we can't compete. There is a price to pay for cheap products- the loss of our jobs and the degradation of our environment. And it is self reinforcing. Once we lose our jobs, all we can afford is the cheap product. Of course the few in charge of the corporate machine will do quite well for themselves as always.

We are doomed because we need to:
11. Find a new party to run the country- Democrats have problems staying balanced. Republicans DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT AVERAGE CITIZENS and they are too in love with WAR. I don't see the Tea Party and A-hole Sara as the answer either. Most likely no one will be able to achieve the previous 10 steps. Find a party who places people above corporate profits and can run a balance budget. Impossible?
12. Find smarter citizens- This country is full of myopic dummies too stupid to know when they are shooting themselves in the foot. Ironically both conservatives and liberals will point at each other! ;)

Hopefully those who are not eligible, will be honest and will keep away.

:rolleyes:

I actually donated exactly once, as a gay virgin.

Arrgh! You cited the tamest statistic from the CDC article. Here are the others: 20% of gay men are HIV positive and 44% don't know it.

THAT is why the question is asked. As a future possible recipient of blood, I'm glad they ask it.
