I tell myself that's what would happen. In reality, I'm not 100% sure.

What this means is that, even if you're 100% innocent, you're in danger of losing your internet access with absolutely no recourse. Not like people have multiple ISPs to choose from - generally you get no more than 2 (cable vs DSL). You have an unsecured wireless network and a neighbor uses it to download tunes? You're done. You install a trojan that shares music to the net? You're done. In essence the RIAA is trying to control the entire internet. To me, this is proof that downloading is NOT taking money from the artists. Let's assume an album has 8 songs on it. That's 100 million "album" downloads -- or 600 million album sales total in 2007 compared to 656 million album sales in 2003. Hardly seems like a major decrease. When you consider that a lot of people only like one or two songs from an album (genreally the tunes played on the radio), then the sales are higher -- in the past, they may have purchased the entire album, now they only buy one or two songs. I'll leave everyone with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Download_This_Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz-grdpKVqg

Frankly, you might be better off just hiring the job out. Scanning slides (and negatives) isn't as simple as simply running them through the scanner like a Xerox machine - you have to worry about color/contrast levels, size, scratches, etc, etc. Plus, to do it right, you need expensive equpiment and a LOT of time. If you enjoy it as a hobby, that's one thing, but otherwise you'll find it tedius and dull I think. Plus, slides and negatives contain a lot of information - so the raw filesizes will be huge. Don't skimp on that in order to fit them on a DVD for family -- keep the huge images and scale them down for the relatives. I have this device and it works great -- I actually paid LESS than this about 2-3 years ago, so the thing holds its value extremely well apparently: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Super-CoolScan...6998&sr=8-1 You'd need to buy a slide adapter too. I'd definitely recommend ICE, especially if the slides are old and scratched. It will remove the scratches from the slide automatically.

You used this as your first post? Wow... Have fun.

PC? 360? PS3?

My property tax bill went down 4.4% this year....

Still don't understand why Brown is so abused around here. Guys was a great guard. And don't start about the "constant false start penalties" because I researched it and made a long post proving that he was penalized LESS than the other guys on the team.

Oldest joke in the book..... Seriously.

Just ask for less sauce. Or sauce on the side. Aside from that, they're awesome. And the sauce is great for dipping the fries in. Yummm..... I'm hungry now.

Ahhhh, good to know. Definitely not allowed in MN: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/consumerism/small_mn.html <li>Attorneys: Not allowed except with court's permission; required for corporations.

Wow, very cool! Wish I was there... Reed was, by far, my favorite player on the team. I still have an old Andre Reed "fake jersey" t-shirt that I wear under my regular jersey. It's seen better days -- but nobody else can see it, so hey.

They weren't the only reason, but they contributed. Tripplet got his dues when our OL bowled him over on the Jets' game-winning TD though.

He needs to be told that? And how do you know he wasn't?

There was 2:06. Which is why it was a good call -- incomplete pass, run, or pass all stop the clock at roughly 2 minutes. If we had just run the ball up the middle and not converted, everyone would say how we had no creativity and our coaches suck because of that.

I agree -- I thought it was a great call. But no blocking, and Losman screwed it up.

My in-laws bought me an Antowain Smith jersey for Xmas... A couple of weeks before he became a free agent.

Exactly. You have to start somewhere, why not start in places where people have disposable income?

You changed the folder options to "view hidden files and folders," right? My experience is that the tempory files are saved in the same directory as the main file, but are always hidden.

They do that in England, actually. Everywhere you go, there's an instant 10% tacked on with a note on the menu saying something like, "If you don't think service was satisfactory, talk to us and we'll refund the 10%." It was interesting.

That's good to hear. And to those who actually do partake of those activities, be aware that tampering with food is actually a felony if you get caught. Is it really worth it because someone doesn't give you $5?

Care to post the link, or you just want to beat your head into a bloody pulp? Searching for "rewind" didn't bring up a post about this topic. Hey, thanks! I didn't even notice!
