Heh. To each his own. The more bitter, the better (to a point).
Yeah, hops was put into beer for preservation originally, but it stayed in there after air travel was invented because it's YUMMY.

I didn't mean to imply wheat beers are not ales. But do mean to imply they taste horrendous (to me).
Personally, I strongly prefer an IPA any day.
I stand corrected. I thought wheat beers were lagers. But in fact, they are top-fermented like ales.
Add Wheat Beer to the list of "horsepiss" along with lagers, then.
Erdinger, while made of quality ingredients compared to the average American horsepiss, is still a lager.
And all lager is horsepiss.
Ok, so if I know I want, say, for example, some program that will rip music from a CD but I don't have any clue what it might be called, what do I do, precisely?
2) For other programs, I just hit Super and type the first letters of the program name
My keyboard doesn't have a "Super" key. And if it did, if I'm running an application I don't commonly use, I often don't know the name of it, so I would like a categorized menu of software to choose from.
Mark my words (so you can point and laugh if I'm wrong)
Global extinction is farther from reality than the human could possibly fathom. Beyond that, however, you'll have to face it: we're all going to die.
Why spend time and resources changing what is a natural cyclical phenomena? Such an exercise can only end badly.

P.S. to moderators: this is only a troll to the politically-motivated.
Hmm, it does appear now that I can download one song at a time, but I don't see any way to download a whole album, or the whole collection. For it to be useful to me, I need to be able to do this.
If I lose my entire collection of music at home, I would like to be able to download it again...
I have 60 gigs of music stored on music.google.com, at zero cost
Yeah, but once you upload it, you cannot re-download it, right? So it's not the same functionality...
What utter nonsense.
It's also the opinion of the founding fathers of the U.S. who authored the U.S. Constitution.
Yeah, no. It's not. It might be shared by some of them, but definitely not all of them.
Not all the "founding fathers", but the founding fathers who authored the Constitution. Chiefly, that's James Madison, with huge influences by Jefferson, Adams and Paine. Yes there were those like Hamilton who despised the ideas that ended up passing. But again it was Madison's ideals that ended up in the Constitution, not Hamilton's.
And even so, that doesn't change things. They were not some infallible deity; they were just men. And times have changed since their times.
They were just men, yes. But the law hasn't. It sounds like you don't care much for the law. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.
Yes, you have. That's all you've said. If something is receiving government money, then it must not be worth having. And that is completely and utterly false.
Wrong again. There are a great many things that don't "turn a profit" that are worth having.
I'm simply saying that if something receives government money, that's wrong. Because it's illegal. And unethical, because the government doesn't have any money that it hasn't already stolen from its citizens (in most cases against their will).

Yes, it matters very much.
Well, OK, it matters in that more of a bad thing is worse than less of a bad thing.
That's your opinion, but most people would consider that to be completely and utterly wrong.
Yes, it's my opinion. It's also the opinion of the founding fathers of the U.S. who authored the U.S. Constitution.
I fail to see the value in the idea that something has to turn a profit in order to be worth having. Quite frankly, I find that idea, and those that espouse it, to be quite retarded.
I can agree with you here. I don't believe I ever espoused this idea at all.

Agreed. I was only using the example others provided. Special favors (or favoritism) by govt is always a bad thing.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. -- Thomas Jefferson
