  • I usually stick to Subway if I want to eat out at a fast food place (foot-long Dijon horseradish melt with lettuce, tomato and sweet peppers, bag of chips and bottle of Pepsi from the case) but every once in a while I'll stop at the drive-through wi…
    in How often do you eat fast food? (Plus, McDonald's eliminates super size) Comment by mlnjr March 2004
  • Pianists: Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Cyrus Chestnut
    in Jazz album recommendations? Comment by mlnjr March 2004
  • Exactly. Right now the iPod's recording quality is limited to 8 bit/16 Khz. The microphone adapter and the quality of the microphone you plug into it can't change that.
    in WOO HOO! New Belkin mic adapter Comment by mlnjr March 2004
  • Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. We'll see how Suitcase fares with the repair job on Monday. We'll do some swapping out of RAM too, just to make sure the issue isn't merely a bad stick or two of RAM. System Profiler recognizes all of the RAM th…

  • Responding to the "there are no gun show loopholes" post a while back, I don't know which gun shows you go to, but it is absolutely possible to buy weapons at a gun show without having to submit to a criminal background check. 32 states allow this. …

  • I'm with you on the album thing, jwri004 and I know there's only so much you can do because you're not in the US, but it's still possible to download the tracks from one album of your choice one track at a time, and not pay for any of those tracks i…
    in How many free songs are ours? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • I'm about 6 for 7 right now. The first one I bought, I bought without checking under the cap first. I don't think looking under the cap is cheating. Yes, you're really supposed to buy the drink and unscrew the cap to find out if you won, but if you …

  • Piano for 23 years. (I now have a nice Baldwin upright). Guitar for about six years (Ovation acoustic electric these days.) When I'm playing with my bands, it's usually on a Korg digital piano. Full-size (88 notes), weighted keys, etc. I'm working…
    in If you're a musician... Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • Jubelum, are you related to the guy? Are we related? My last name is Norton.
    in What's your profession Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • I'm a musician in two different currently gigging bands, and recently I've started doing some freelance Mac installing/troubleshooting. Officially, I'm unemployed and have been so for over a year. I'm waiting to hear about a job I applied for and wa…

  • I picked up a blue mini at the Apple Store here on Friday, but that one was reserved for my sister. She's not really into computers, but she is into music. Apple did a fantastic job with this one, from the design on down. While I mucked around with …
    in A skeptic's review of the iPod mini Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • You'd have a ten-song credit on your account, but the bottle caps can't be used for the purchase of an album. I remember when I had credit for one song, and I added an album to my shopping cart wondering if the store would take 99 cents off the pric…
    in 10 pepsi caps= 1 album? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • 1 ) Abortion - Saying you're not pro-life is not the same thing as saying you're in favor of mandatory abortions all the time. I'm pro-choice. I'm also not a woman, so I don't think my opinion on this matters very much although if I were ever in a s…
    in How about a political survey? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • I guess I just misunderstand the purpose of the poll or something. When I buy music from the iTunes store, it's music I know I want to own, so it's instantly worth it to me. I'm purchasing new music by artists I already like, or I'm filling in gaps …
    in At what play count are iTMS songs worth the cost? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • Here's a neat trick: In the Terminal, you can use one command to download all of the PSAs. Fire up the Terminal and copy/paste this command into it. Press Enter. The videos will be saved in your Home folder. Code: curl -f -O "http://www.fensler…

  • They're all over the place in Richmond, VA. I've even seen special soft drink cups at 7-Eleven.
    in So, Where Are The ITMS Pepsi Bottles At? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • Sir Duke. I just bought my fourth bottle of Pepsi and finally got a winner.
    in What have you gotten with your free Pepsi songs? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • I interviewed Bruce Hornsby for an hour when he came to speak/play on campus in the college town where I lived after graduating in 1998. I hung out with James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, watching via closed circuit TV as their guy debated B…
    in AppleInsider's Degrees of Separation Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • Fresh shrimp sautéed in olive oil with generous amounts of garlic, served with angel hair pasta tossed in a white clam sauce. Big tomato slices and fresh mozzarella cheese drizzled with olive oil and oregano, or a big salad. Crusty bread with oil fo…
    in What yummy dish or two do you like to prepare when you have the time? Comment by mlnjr February 2004
  • Um, whether classical music is boring or not isn't something that can be absolutely true or absolutely false. The degree to which someone likes or dislikes something (and their reasons for feeling that way) are 100 percent subjective. Steve, if s…
