I just ripped a CD onto iTunes for the first time, and all the songs were imported as .mp3 files instead of .aac. Anyone know why this is occuring, and how I can fix it?
Thanks, Alex

Yes.
Yes, as long as it's a real CD and not one of those wacky not-really-CD things with bizarre copy protect schemes. Even most of those can be brought into an iPod, though.

Yeh, some manufacturers are making it harder to Root, but Root DOESN'T equal Jailbreak. The Android os (speaking on 2.3) has built in hotspot, built in widgets, built in moving backgrounds, built in customizable screens, built in facebook, built in lock screen custimization, built in keyboards, systemwide voice activation, etc. There are things that people want to jailbreak for, and in Android OS you don't have to ROOT to do any of that.
yeah, i totally understand what you're saying. android definitely does a lot more straight out of the box than the iphone does. but i guess for me, if i had an android device i'd really like to be able to flash some really cool builds and kernels a lot of the guys at xda-dev release (like we all used to do in the old winmo days) that way i don't have to worry when the manufacturer quits releasing updates after ~6 months and i get stuck on an old os. i just hate the fact those manufacturers are trying to prevent that type of community from doing their thing. i don't think its what google wanted android to be about.

Does anyone know if they had any inventory today (Wednesday?
I'm wondering about tomorrow or Friday. With the International launch looming it seems that supply will be tight.

If you are going for 2TB drives, the WD Caviar Green drives are among the favorites. It's been reported they have some issues regarding the high load cycle counts (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=WD%20caviar%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&cp=10&pq=wd%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=WD+caviar+green+high+load+cycle+count&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=6cbe03e6833a46ef) due to the firmware...

It's a bit of work, but the high load cycle counts due to excessive head parking can be prevented.

Uhm... "Dock, The" just looks weird (and meaningless) to me. Better to just drop the "The" completely then.
I'm on board with that. Looks better.

You seem to take the position that the majority or mob rule can decide how much money to take from one person without inflicting the same on another person... in effect choosing winners and losers. Don't you advocate for the majority deciding who someone can marry or whether a woman has control over her own body?
Furthermore, you seem to not put any limit on this position so it would seem that you feel the majority has the right/ability to take as much money from 'the rich' as they choose to as long as they do it with a majority in the democratic process. This would imply that you don't think that the person who actually earned the wealth has any sort of moral or legal claim on the wealth. Please enlighten me as to where I am going astray in describing your position. I don't know about any positions regarding confiscatnig wealth, but arguing about that is almost as stupid as arging what flavor cheese the moon is made of. It's a fantasy! No one is actually suggesting that the wealthy have all of their wealth, or most of their wealth, confiscated. All that anyone has suggested is that we pay our the debts our country has amassed, and to do so, the best, most fair way would be to stop corporate welfare and subsidies and impose additional taxes on those who have the most, would be hurt the least, and who benefitted the most by the policies that created the debt.
Personally, I think the moon looks like swiss cheese, but if you think it's something else, that's fine.

My roommate is a PC fanatic. He's an engineer, yet he still uses IE instead of Firefox for crying out loud. All of his purchased music is from MusicMatch, and he plays it on the cheapest player he could find.
He recently got a new computer and tried to get his MusicMatch songs to play on it. He has now devoted a couple hours every afternoon for 3 weeks to the project. In his weakened condition, I started showing him how my iTunes music could painlessly hop from computer to computer, and how if he used iTunes, he could stream all of my non-protected music. He was ready to cut his losses and switch to iTunes right there.
Unfortunately, iTunes songs won't play on his player so that was the end of it. There's no way he's paying more than $30 for a player, and there's no iPod that cheap. As a result, he'll never know how much better iTunes (and the rest of mac software) is. Apple had a chance to get their foot in the door, and instead they slammed his own door in his face.

So does this mean Catherine Zeta-Spartacus-Douglas-Jones will be doing ads for the iPhone?
:p
Nope. She's been dropped from T-Mobile advertisement. T-Mobile is trying to re-brand themselves right now.

Are there any Apple ][ emulators that work on Mac OSX Snow Leopard (preferrably free) and are reasonably uncomplicated to use/set up?
The ones I've come across either don't work (OSX II (http://www.intergalactic.de/pages/OSXII.html) seemed promising, but I can't find any system ROMs that work with it -even the ones suggested in the readme file don't work). Other emulators such as Catakig (http://catakig.sourceforge.net/) don't seem to work either (the disks don't load) although the system ROMs seem to be accepted.

Whole disk encryption and ssd's do not match. Ssd's will become a lot slower when you fill them which is exactly what whole disk encryption does. Buying an ssd would be a waste of money, you're better off with a much cheaper hdd.
Eh, not entirely true in practice. I bit-locker by Windows drive on my laptop (SSD) and its still waaay faster then a traditional HDD.
There is also SafeGuard from Sophos that does full-disk on OSX.

Figured I'd give it some time before I posted my opinions. For what it's worth, I am responsible for a few web sites for my company (not the designer but have much of the say in the look).
My first impression was very negative but after reading the thread and spending some time really looking at the home page, I'm less negative. I think it's a bit busy and could stand a little tweaking. I think there are too many colors for headings. IMO, keep the dark blue and one color (I like grey) and lose the others.
FYI, I'm running at 1024 x 768; the price compare ad and google box both cut off about half of the last line of the ad.
I understand the need to provide as much information as possible on the home page but maybe some of it could be moved elsewhere and an additional tab or two added at the top. Might reduce a bit of the clutter.
Overall, a very good start. A site is constantly evolving. I know how much work goes into a site change, let alone a new design. Great job!
Sign me up as a contributor. Couldn't find out where to do that. But please, I don't want to be known as a demi-god, I'll stick with my lowly rating.
