That'd make you, what, 46ish? Give or take (probably give) 4 years? Should I get off your lawn? ;)

Also, on VLC, when I try playing an MP3, I have to reset the damned EQ every time the song changes - that gets annoying as hell.
Most people I've talked to tend to use one program to watch movies and another separate one to play music. Mostly because, as you noticed, most programs designed to play movies tend to have annoying quirks when playing music and vice versa.

I'm just assuming the April Fools Joke is that it isn't one and that it'll be left in place. Of course, if they don't leave it in place, they'll have fooled me, too.
I don't think I can come out of this a winner.

Space Elevators Face Wobble Problem 244
NewScientist is reporting that while the strength of the tether has long been considered the main problem in building a space elevator, a new study suggests that a dangerous wobbling problem may also be a serious obstacle. "Previous studies have noted that gravitational tugs from the Moon and Sun, as well as pressure from gusts of solar wind, would shake the tether. That could potentially make it veer into space traffic, including satellites and bits of space debris. A collision could cut the tether and wreck the space elevator."
