France will always be my favourite. But Hawaii ranks pretty high up there in my favorite Vacation spots. The skiing over in Sun Valley, Idaho is always pretty nice... but those are pretty much the only American places I've been to. I live in Vancouver (third best place in the world to live. w00t! ), so I'm sticking with this as my favourite place in the world.

For a spectator sport, my preference is ice hockey. I actively support the Vancouer Canucks - I never miss a game. I upgraded my TV service for the sole purpose of getting exclusive PPV games, and I try and attend every season opener. I even went to the playoffs last season!For playing, I like soccer. I was going to get in to hockey, but the expense turned my parents off, so I couldn't follow that path when I was young, so I went into soccer instead.

Techinally, downloading music is not illegal in Canada. The supreme court over here decided that the act of downloading music would not be punishable by law, but puting it up for downloading is. Confusing, I know. See the following articles: News.com zdNet CTV CSMonitor So, as a Canadian, a large portion of my music is downloaded - legally - from p2p networks. I buy the occasional CD... if the iTunes Music Store ever came to the Great White North I'd buy an album or two from there... But, again, mostly I reap the benefits of my Canadian citizenship and download the stuff.

Hmmm.... lyrics are good... I just can't quite place it with a tune. Its very good for a first one though! Keep trying! Your skills will improve with practice!Looking over it again, I can sorta hear something like U2 singing the song... not that it's really their style, but the voices and the type of music I can hear with the lyrics. You said it's metal though, so that doesn't quite fit.Eh, my $0.02!

Nice half bad... I like it. Very proffesional looking... I can see why it would help attract visitors. A logo is one of the things that define a site... no logo at all is better than a bad logo, for a bad logo automatically triggers thoughts of distrust and seediness. A good logo says 'Hey! These guys are serious! Lets check it out!'Great work!

After three years of being synonymous with "digital music player," Apple's iPod will widen its horizons and gain photo-viewing capabilities within the next 30 to 60 days, highly reliable sources tell Think Secret. The new iPod, which will sit at the top of Apple's fourth-generation line-up, will pack Toshiba's new 60GB 1.8-inch hard drive, a 2-inch color liquid crystal display, iPhoto synchronization, audio/video-out capabilities, and will sell for $499. The new iPod is currently in production in Asia after delays from Toshiba in delivering its new 60GB drive hampered a planned early-September ramp up. Sources confirm Toshiba started shipping the drive to Apple in mid-September and iPod manufacturer Inventec began building the new device in the last two weeks. The new iPod's form factor will be identical to the existing 4G iPods, sources report, but will be two millimeters thicker than the current 40GB iPod and marginally heavier. The 2-inch color screen is identical in size to other iPods, but will sport a higher resolution for photo viewing. However, the new device's real shining feature will be its video-out port, which will enable users to tote their photo galleries with them, ready to be plugged into any television for big-screen viewing. The 60GB iPod will feature only rudimentary built-in software for viewing photos, with no editing tools, sources say. Photo albums will be navigated in a similar fashion to music playlists, and a slideshow feature will provide transitions with user-specified background music, similar to iPhoto. Synchronizing features similar to iTunes will also be added to iPhoto. The new iPod won't feature built-in flash memory stick slots for downloading photos from digital cameras, although such a feature will presumably be able to be employed through Belkin's $99 Media Reader. Sources indicate that Apple will market the new photo iPod as being capable of storing 20,000 music tracks and 25,000 photos. As an added bonus for music fans, album artwork will be displayed on screen when it's available for a selected track. Rumors of a 60GB iPod first surfaced in June, when Toshiba said that it was in the process of developing a 60GB drive and, much to the ire of Apple, confirmed that the iPod maker had already committed to buying it in quantity.[/i] - Think Secret - Original Article Pretty sweet, eh? Not that I'd ever get a chance to lay my hands on one... But I wonder if Apple will follow the plea of many of their users: "VIDEO IPOD!" So, what do you all think of it? I have doubts on the matter... Think Secret hasn't always been the most reliable rumor source... And keep in mind this is a 'rumor'. The words 'reliable sources' give it away right away!

I just finished reading 'Around the World in 80 Days'... A very nice classic. Gotta love the twist at the end with the time zones! I'm probably going to start of 'Pawn of Prophecy' next... supposed to be a good fantasy!

"Officer, I swear to drunk I'm not God!"I just love these police jokes...Cop: "You eyes look red. Have you been drinking?"Driver: "You're eyes look glazed. Have you been eating donuts?"

Hmmm... last movies I saw... that would be...1) Arthur2) Speed3) HidalgoThe only really good one on that list is Hidalgo... Speed I just watched on a bus trip, didn't have a choice. And Arthur was just on TV last night. Still they're not bad movies.

Dynamic Active Extroverted You are quite willing to accept certain risks and to make a strong committment in exchange for interesting and varied work. Routine, in contrast, tends to have a paralyzing effect on you. What you like most is to be able to play an active role in events. In doing so, your initiative is highly pronounced. Eh, sorta right, and sorta wrong... it's just not quite me.... I'm more of this one: Independent Unconventional Unfettered You demand a free and unattached life for yourself that allows you to determine your own course. You have an artistic bent in your work or leisure activities. Your urge for freedom sometimes causes you to do exactly the opposite of what expected of you. Your lifestyle is highly individualistic. You would never blindly imitate what is "in"; on the contrary, you seek to live according to your own ideas and convictions, even if this means swimming against the tide. That's me! I hate being 'in' or such!

As usual, I found Xisto using a free hosting directory site... I and found FR and T first, but I should warn you, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use them. Their server is down usually around 50% of the day, no joke. Very annoying! That's why I'm posting right now, to get the heck off their service. Hopefully this place will be much better!

Ah, goota love Google... all questions can be answered by the might power of Google! Many family disputes have been quelled with the ultimate knowledge that Google provides Seriously though, Google is the best place to go with homework help, questions, and etc., so there is truth in the lines... Before asking stupid questions, consult Google. At least a website doesn't insult you!.... or does it?

I'd like to use this disk for computer backups... I hate having to sort through everything, deciding what to but on my back up disk and what not to. I'd love the extra space.

Um... have you seen the new iMac? Quote from Apple's support site: Think you need a new part? You can replace many of your iMac G5's parts yourself. The iMac G5 is designed to make it easy for you to install replacement parts if you need to. The parts you can install yourself are: AirPort Extreme Card Memory - DDR 400 MHz (PC3200) SDRAM Hard drive Optical drive Power supply LCD display Modem card Mid-plane assembly (contains the main logic board, the G5 processor, fans, and so forth). If you think you may need a new part, you can use the troubleshooting assistant to figure it out. Plus the iMac is meant to be taken apart when you have hard drive problems. They even put diagnostic lights in there to tell you if and where there is something wrong. So I disagree with you there. The iMac looks pretty darn upgradable. I favor Mac OS X. It's hard for Windows users to see the beauty of Mac OS X... It's too different. They eep looking for a start button and come up with a dock. It just gets frustrating for them.

Pretty sweet computer... and according to Apple, you can replace: AirPort Extreme Card Memory - DDR 400 MHz (PC3200) SDRAM Hard drive Optical drive Power supply LCD display Modem card Mid-plane assembly (contains the main logic board, the G5 processor, fans, and so forth). Original Article FYI, the mis-plane assembly should include the graphics card! One of the main things I look for in a computer is future-upgradability. The iMac has this.
