I'm a bit surprised at the comments, but maybe I'm just the oddball here. Obviously, this is one wacked out story that once again proves that truth is stranger than fiction. With that said - there is an innocent child here that needs to be raised. That article didn't really go into details, but no matter how fricked up the conception was - he needs to deal with it properly and provide support. You don't punish the child because the mother is a psycho.

Hmmm... I must have missed "opposite day". You meant to say he bobbled everything he touched - right?

to sum up the guys on the radio: "Great. We traded a 1st RD draft pack for a guy who played 2 years and who will now cost us $9M in a cap hit just because he doesn't want to play here anymore, so that we can bring in Peter Warrick Lite. This is a good idea?"

well, it's not Hogboy.... those were the "BLT Killings"...

is that Chuck Lester?

the Skin's are getting crucified for this proposed deal on the radio... Moss said that Portis told him WEEKS ago that this might happen. Talk radio wants to know how Portis knows this and if he is the shadow GM these days. Skins would take a $9M hit to do this....

look for the yellow caps!

since you shared that Russian vodka with me - I'll let that slide....

one person's dream is another person's nightmare...

Not everyone uses an ipod, so it really isn't that far fetched - but thanks for the support!

Last year I got 60 codes. It was very thoughtful for posters to take their time to send me those. It was a nice distraction shopping for some music as I just started doing the whole iTunes/MP3 thing. I have received 1 so far and if that is all I get - I'll be equally thankful for that one. I presume with the exploding popularity of the ipod that many people probably have closer friends than me to give the codes to this year as opposed to last year. Still, if there are some out there that are going unused - I might as well ask...

I did this last year and quite a few Pepsi drinkers offered their iTunes codes to me instead of throwing them away.... Thank you very much! They are running the promotion again, so I thought I would ask again for unused codes. If you have them and don't want them - I would love a chance to use them. Please PM any codes you may have. TIA!

sue for harrassment and retire like a REAL American...

those pics are a bit disappointing.

do you want him in the act of punting so you get a good crotch shot?

I would love to have that back, but I would need new photos and a lot of help with photoshop getting them in the right format. It can be very tedious outlining everyone and we would really need about 50-100 of them, so that they don't get too repetitive.

back to the original topic - I changed it to WM. I'm open to other suggestions, if not WM.

it's an artifact from switching servers. I just haven't had time to switch it back.

They better watch closely because if either of those guys gets cut - it just might get overlooked....

because you are supporting the girl scouts?

that's interesting... you didn't know it was off, but yet you love it? Seems to me that if you didn't notice, it probably wasn't that big of a deal in the 1st place. <shrug> However, guest posting is like politics - perception is reality.

notice that they talk about 100% perfect copies.... In iTunes - I can choose to rip my protected songs into an unprotected format. That is allowed as per the agreement between Apple and the music companies. The DRM is stripped through the legal means of burning an audio CD. I do not believe there is a restriction in re-ripping that CD, since the sound quality would be poor. Of course, if you re-ripped it and thene mass distributed it - then you would still be liable.

Incorrect. Songs from iTunes can be transferred to a music CD - and thereby stripping the DRM - with only the small limitation that the same exact playlist can only be recorded 7 times. That is hardly onerous. If you wanted to re-encode that to play on a separate device - there is no problem with that either, other than the obvious quality loss. The DCMA is about *trafficking* in protected files, as stated in the regulation you posted.

how do you remember this stuff?

best buy, circuit city, egghead, amazon.... very low rates of spyware.
