Is iPod Lounge typically the slowest-loading page on the interweb, or is this an anomaly? Spent minutes waiting for the page to load (speedy connection) and bailed in frustration.
Apple announced two new iPods today and the lounge is swamped. Everything should speed back up once folks on the East coast start leaving work.
I'm so far from hip it isn't funny, but my guess is that you'll want the dock, the Belkin car charger, some kind of case and (as mentioned) better earphones.

"Fuck me? Fuck you! Fuck you and this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job! Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores, stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35. Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from! Fuck the black-hatted Hasidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds! Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gecko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for FUCKING LIFE! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Worldcom! Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, 'cause they make the Puerto Ricans look good. Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, their St. Anthony medallions, swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger, baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos. Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermes scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart! Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take fives steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J! Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fueled fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass!"

Hey Xternal (or anyone else with an answer). I'd like to shrink the file sizes of my music to get more on my SD card. 99% of the music on my computer is saved from my CD collection and digitized for WMP. Is there a way that is easy (I need something that is not complicated) to convert the files or shrink them down?
Chelle,
I've never used this so I can't speak to whether or not it's complicated, but DbPoweramp gets recommended alot for that sort of task.
To rip, manage, and sync, I use WMP10, Exact Audio Copy and Anapod Explorer. It's simpler this way.
(If you luv iTunes, then I'm happy for you. It just wasn't for me.)

I just turn on my computer and hit that red "O" and I can talk to my friends...
That's what I do too!
Then, up pops a little grey box that says, "Enabling."

I'm posting from a PTP node. I read about it in the WW. Other than being free, it's the same old internet. If I wanted to, I could go over to the park and post, but if I were going to the park I'd rather take the dog and a frisbee.

Yesterday, coming back from a day of cragging at Chimney Rock, we saw a herd of wild goats. I don't know if they were escapees from somewhere or what, but it was great to see some cougar food out there.

Three more bad ideas:
Copy an old citation and pre-emptively ticket yourself.
or...
On returning to the TH and finding yourself busted, trade tickets with another victim and claim that Larry the tool ticketed the wrong car. "Wtf, larry, that's not my license?"
or...
Pinch another victim's ticket right when you pull in. Put it on your windsheild and you don't get cited 'cause you've already been. The other guy gets to say, "Ticket? What ticket?", in all truth.

Marshall: Well, that's what I mean by "political". Do you mean something else? Do you mean propagandistic by "political"?
Zappa: No, we have a little semantic problem here because usually the way I talk about politics is in one sense and I've said this many times in interviews: politics is the entertainment branch of industry. When I talk about my political thoughts, I'm not talking about being part of the entertainment branch of industry. I'm talking more about policy in action. In other words, somebody has to decide to do certain things or not do certain things, and hopefully the person makes that decision has made the decision based on accurate information. The problem with most of the decisions of the last eight years in the Reagan Administration is they're all ideologically based and very seldom have the policy decisions been based on practicality, or far long-range thinking. It's just been based on whether or not the rhetoric that appears in the news that day is in phase with conservative ideology, or appeasement to certain interest groups. It's not good politics in the true sense of the word. And another political act that you have to bear in mind is as long as people have the right to vote, the vote should be cast in a situation where the person with the ballot in his hand has access to enough information to make a practical decision. And that's where I come in. If I can provide an extra dimension of information which may, through this interview or through a record or some other way, get out to a person with a ballot in his hand, I'm doing a public service by providing compilations of data that the news won't give you. It's not that they can't give it to you, they won't give it to you. So, that's the way I think about politics the way I'm involved in it.
I liked Bono's speech!
"I didn't realize that the biggest obstacle to political and social progress wasn't the Free Masons, or the Establishment, or the boot heal of whatever you consider 'the Man' to be, it was something much more subtle. As the Provost just referred to, a combination of our own indifference and the Kafkaesque labyrinth of 'no's you encounter as people vanish down the corridors of bureaucracy."
Bread and circuses, baby. Cooper's just another bad actor. (But I believe the part where he says he's a moron...)

The key to enjoying that movie is to realize that the hero of the story is actually Monique, the French chick. She's like the all time badass superhero of climbing babes. Pretty much everybody in the film is dead in the end without her.
