Earth Crisis was a band. A very very bad band.

All the shows that star a so-called "expert" who's lacking in any real credentials yet still claims to help people (and usually just ends up giving bad advice)...Dog Whisperer, Dr. Phil, that guy who claims to talk to dead relatives. South Park needs to die. At one point in time it was...

Grip for ripping although I have been experimenting with rubyripper. I use mpd/sonata for playback.

RubyRipper http://code.google.com/p/rubyripper/ can do both flac and mp3.

How much are you looking to spend? Boston is not cheap. I was paying $600 a month for a room in a 3 bedroom apartment in Southie - not exactly the nicest neighborhood.

Count me as a Ubuntu convert. Now I LOVE Debian, but I found myself spending too much time just messing with things. I tried Ubuntu after hearing so many people gush over it and it comes closer than any other distro I've tried to "just working". In fact, the only thing I can think of right now...

I REALLY wish the song Recipe For Hate by Bad Religion was longer.

Wouldn't the buttons on the iPod Shuffle Pro defeat the purpose of having a shuffle? But the screen would be very nice - I'd like to be able to see the song info of what is currently playing.

I've bought lots of cds recently after using the listening stations at a local record store (Sonic Boom). Otherwise I go off the recommendations of my friends, most of whom are musicians, or from reviews in magazines like Wire.

Seeing as how the original blobfish thread got locked, I'll link to another thread along the same lines (including the infamous blobfish photo). more creatures from the deep

I'm pretty sure that is a monkfish. And yeah, they're really ugly.

When I was in middle school, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies scared the crap out of me, but I couldn't stop watching them. Nothing really scares me anymore. At best it creeps me out a little (like The Ring), but Texas Chainsaw Masacre (the original) came pretty close.

Ubuntu on my IBM T42 and Windows XP at work (not by choice).

Nethack

I used to have a septum ring (6ga) and plugs in my lobes (.75" diameter) for a number of years but I took them out because I like being able to choose when I look like a freak and when I don't. At least with my tattoos they are all hidden when I put on a long-sleeve shirt. Oh, and after you go...

Yes it's possible. Check out Yellow Dog Linux. Although I've heard about small problems (like power management) but that is true of most notebooks.
