    does creative allow for full res .wav files?

    This is where the audiophile boys back slowly and suspiciously away from me: I don't really care about sound quality...

    Me, I find iTunes fills me with irrational rage. Always trying to play every CD, copy stuff, sync up this or that, wanting to link to i-store USA or trying to update to the latest version.

    Word. I recently, reluctantly bought an iPod (I would have stuck with Creative, but no one else can compete with that 160G of storage!), but my one experiment with iTunes put me right off. Bah.

    I love those leper colonies... Back steps at a party is always the best conversation zone.

    Emma, why do I agree with nearly everything you say about any given topic? It's... kind of freaking me out. :)

    Do these ads play through Mad Men?

    Heh. Yeah, anyone who thinks current smokers are 'inconsiderate' might have a nervous breakdown if they got into a De Lorean and headed back forty-fifty years...

    We've come a long way, baby. ;)

    many of them are perfectly happy to make sure that everyone around them must share their habit regardless of whether or not they want to

    It's funny how anecdata can give you entirely different impressions of the same issue. My observation is that most of them have been shamed into submission by the vigilantes shouting 'unclean! unclean!' They're all shivering outside at any social gathering, in their dedicated leper colonies...

    I will acknowledge your right to smoke at such a time as you can do it in my presence entirely without me having to be subjected to your pollutant by-products.

    I, on the other hand, would like to invite Jackie over to my house to blow her second-hand smoke into the clean air of my lounge. I, as a non-smoker, will even provide her with a nice vintage ashtray from my nice old vinyl bar. For I? Do not give a fuck. (Why doesn't everyone get all activist and scapegoaty about petrol fumes, incidentally? I mean, I know I asked that in the other thread too, but...)

    I'm thinking this is a wonderful opportunity for someone to start marketing lovely cigarette boxes like my mother used to have.

    Beaten to the punch! My mother already has a metal Peter Stuyvesant-logo case to cover up her particular brand of decaying flesh.

  • Hard News: The Mood,

    Russell, there's an equally lovely follow-up comment from LabourMustBeLiquidated this morning:

    Do you not know that women are never ever responsible for anything that happens to them and are simply not capable of being violent themselves?

    Just... wow.

  • Radiation: Sci-fi high,

    my newest must-see is Mad Men

    Loooooooooove it. It doesn't hurt that it's set in my current favourite 20th century period. Frocks! Cars! Furniture! Graphic design! Mouth-droppingly appalling sexism, racism and homophobia! Weird undercurrents! Swingin' tunes!

    (Unfortunately the MySky cocked up and we missed episode two the other week. To the torrents!)

  • Island Life: John Key: ambitious enough…,

    From a distance it seems about as logical as using the 5 million to buy about 10,000 Wii, to be given out to the more obese children.

    What if it came bundled with Wii Fit? :)
