I've had my 30GB iPod for 9 months and have it set up to auto-sync. I've had no problems and I have 2800 songs on it. But someone recently told me I should NEVER sync the iPod, that I'm risking losing everything and I'm asking for trouble. True or false?

Some people ask such stupid questions, and get answers; but others ask serious questions, and no one wants to answer them...how come?

of them to not call back. I have a friend that I love to death but I call her and it's often 2-3 days before I ever hear from her. So making plans with her is very difficult. I text when I can b/c I know she is busy. However, now she doesnt reply to those. No it's not a blow off. she's always been like this and she does it to others. I want to some how convey to her that her actions are inconsiderate of others.
However, before I do I would like a solid time frame to give her so that she knows when to reply/return phone calls before making others mad.

Thanks

Who's next? This is Wayne in eastern Virginia. Hi, Wayne. It's nice to have you with us on the EIB Network.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you today?

RUSH: Good, sir. Thank you.

CALLER: Sorry I missed your blue funk, but I may add to it a little bit. The Blue Ridge Mountains stretch all the way from Maine to Georgia.

RUSH: Yup.

CALLER: They get their name, the Blue Ridge Mountains, because -- I'm a Ph.D. chemist -- and pine trees exude a compound called "pinene" that is all carbon and hydrogen.

RUSH: Wait. How do you spell that, pinene?

CALLER: P-i-n-e-n-e.

RUSH: Pinene, and it's all carbon and all hydrogen?

CALLER: Yes. It's also got a double bond which makes it reactive.

RUSH: So what's the point? We gotta cut down pine trees?

CALLER: That's right. The point is, every pine tree in the country should be cut down to reduce the carbon we put into the atmosphere.

RUSH: But then what would happen to the Blue Ridge range?

CALLER: It would disappear. You'd cut down all the pine trees.

RUSH: Well, we can't cut down trees. The environmentalists won't let us cut down trees, but they'll burn the next time a fire breaks out.

CALLER: (laughing) I know that. But they're just being so idiotic about the whole thing.

RUSH: So you are not a member of the "consensus" of scientists who believes in this man-made global warming hoax?

CALLER: No, I believe that there may be some climatic change going on, but I don't believe it's global warming, and I don't believe that we have enough data to predict what's going to happen in the next 50 years.

RUSH: Of course not. That's why they say 50 years, instead of next year. Because 50 years, "Oh, we can't afford to wait! We've got time to fix it: raise taxes, roll back your lifestyles, make some sacrifices, vote Democrat, and go socialist."

CALLER: That's right. I've done enough modeling, computer modeling to know that I can tweak the parameters on the model and make it say anything I want to.

RUSH: Well, of course. Exactly. The models do not factor in all the relevant data anyway, such as precipitation, because we can't even measure every drop of precipitation that happens on the planet every day. We simply don't have the ability. We don't have the systems. We don't have the equipment, and when you leave precipitation out of these models, it renders them worthless. You know, you, as someone who doesn't believe in the man-made aspect of the warming that is going on -- according to Algore, you, Wayne -- are an "outlier."

CALLER: Yes, I know. In scientific data, I would be called an outlier in statistics and just chopped off at the ankles.

RUSH: Now, you know, but I want to make sure everybody else knows. Outlier is spelled o-u-t-l-i-e-r, and it's not that you're lying. It means that you are on the fringes.

CALLER: That's right.

RUSH: You're way outside the "mainstream of accepted science" on this bogus hoax.

CALLER: That's right -- and in science, outliers are ignored.

RUSH: In fact, they are totally ignored.

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: That's why they're called outliers. All right, thanks, Wayne. I appreciate that. Well, so what? We're going to have to cut down every pine tree to eliminate... Well, that's sacrifice. Sacrifice. Bye-bye Christmas trees! Cut down all the pine trees. A Christmas tree is a relative of the pine tree. By the way, the Brits, some stupid government agency in the UK has warned Santa Claus to lose weight because he's setting a bad example for British kids. I kid you not. I have that and more coming up on the program in the stacks of stuff.

I really need some help. My paper is due today, and I need an example of a metaphor in order to finish the paper. Are one of these a metaphor? Thank you!

(If this is a metaphor, I don't know what is being compared!)

"On a park bench, alone, he sat dully watching a flock of perts: a semi-bird imported from Mars' two moons, capable of soaring flight, even against Earth's huge gravity."

"And this is bedrock in your psyche; this is a life-long childhood fantasy."

Why do you guys fight about something that the answer will be answered when you die? I mean Christians believe you go to heaven or hell, and atheists believe that the conciseness just ends. So either way one will find out or not. So why fight about it now?

When I go in the closet or laundry room I usually only have the light on for two to five minutes at a time, but might cycle them 10 times if I'm have a few loads to do. Is it better to use regular bulbs which light up instantly or C.F. bulbs which are usually still warming up when I turn them back off.

I got my ear pierced like 3 months ago, and now my earring is starting to wear away and lose the silver color. Some parts are starting to turn yellowish and look stupid. So, when I buy a new earring, what metal or material do I look for that won't lose it's color. I want like a silver stud with a small-medium fake rock. Nothing obnoxiously big, I think the one I have now is a 24mm which is the perfect size. Just not sure what kind of material to get, but I don't want it to look gold! Also, it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, just something to fill the hole. Thanks
