did it fit into your life, or does your life somehow become molded by IT?
inspired by my fav movie, Natural Born Killers (currently watching), that I know all the words too, and love dearly. The art of it is beautiful.
thanks for answering.

PC commercials are saying that you could have up to 750,000 songs stored on their hard drives, with hard drive sizes soon to be at 1 terabyte, I am wondering if 750,000 is a "reasonable" number to advertize. Given that most cds hold between 12-20 songs you'd have to have 37,500 to 62,500 of them just to rip that many songs, not to mention the cost of such a collection. I would be luck to fill up an 12gb player, if I only chose the songs I liked, I'd be down to less than 2gb :)

I don't see the point in having bail. Why should you be able to buy your way out of a crime that you committed?

How is it fair that a poor person has to stay in jail for the time sentenced because they can't afford bail but a rich person who can afford it can just pay it and act like it never happened? Why not just get rid of it completely and make people stay in jail for the time they were sentenced and the time they deserve no matter their financial status. Just because they have money doesn't mean they should be exempt from what they did in my opinion.

Just thinking about it, and wondering what your thoughts were or how bail even got started? Thanks.

Therefore, it is recommended policy for the country to create a secure *outlet* for its mainly sour crude streams by building complex refineries, while being cautious of not creating surplus refining capacity through over-investment

NEW YORK - A man's daring rescue of a teen who fell on the subway tracks earned him the unique title "the hero of Harlem" on Thursday, plus $10,000 from Donald Trump and a trip to Disney World.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg bestowed the title upon Wesley Autrey as he presented him with the city's highest award for civic achievement, calling the 50-year-old construction worker "a great man — a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."

On Tuesday, Autrey saw Cameron Hollopeter, a 19-year-old film student, suffering a seizure while waiting for a train. After stumbling down the platform, Hollopeter, of Littleton, Mass., fell onto the tracks with a train on its way into the station.
He jumped down to the tracks, a few feet below platform level, and rolled with the young man into a drainage trough between the rails as the southbound No. 1 train came into the 137th Street/City College station.

Some train cars passed over Autrey and Hollopeter with only a couple of inches to spare, but neither man suffered any harm from the incident. Hollopeter, hospitalized for his medical condition, was in stable condition Thursday.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority Executive Director Elliot Sander called Autrey's action "a death-defying act of bravery. We truly have not seen anything like this. ... He was at the right place at the right time and did the right thing."

After the City Hall ceremony, a limousine whisked Autrey — who also received a year's worth of free subway rides — to a meeting with Trump, who presented him with $10,000.

He also has received $2,500 from the New York Film Academy to start a scholarship fund for his children, and tickets and a backstage tour to the Broadway musical "The Lion King."

Autrey, who did the morning news show circuit on Thursday and taped a David Letterman appearance later in the day, will be flown to Los Angeles for an appearance next week on Ellen DeGeneres' show.

As for his new celebrity, he concluded, "good things happen when you do good."

Graph each system of equations and state its solution. Then state whether the system is consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent.

x + y = 6
x - y = -2


x + 1 = y
2x - 2y = 8


2x + 4 = 8
x + 2y = 4


x + y = 1
3x + 5y = 7

Thank you

Ok I am going to start production on a short film. It involves a traffic jam in it....
How can we film during a traffic jam without people getting angry, I mean if the cars start moving again we would be holding people up. Keep in mind we have an EXTREMELY small budget, which means we wouldnt be able to pay people to stop or something. Also it has to be a big traffic jam and the filming would take quite a while.

PS I live in Australia if that has anything to do with it.
