'OK, OK, you can each have half of the damn telescope, just shut up and give me some peace.'

You know, I was just thinking that. But it could work, if people didn't have to work too hard to decipher it (a-la Brad Pitt in Snatch).

Is this a trick question?

We still have a Liberal deficit. It's called 'Victoria-class submarines/corporate penalties for cancelling original Sea King replacements'.

Hmmm, I didn't think I had the deadpan face on so well.

You could use a more modern, more relevant example. That was a batshit crazy period in history, where you could hardly walk down the street without getting your head chopped off.

Where have you been? Scolding your kids is already a hideous crime.

But not cheap enough. There's this whole ratio of price to performance to weight that the 'Oh, just buy a Celeron laptop if you want cheap' or 'Just buy a Macbook Air if you want very portable' crowd (basically the 'netbooks are dead' crowd) can't seem to get their head around all at once.

Like a few others here I have an E-350 netbook. I absolutely love it. It runs rings around an Atom netbook and the GPU ensures moderate gaming isn't akin to a root canal. It's only slightly bigger than my Eee 1000HA. It wasn't that expensive. There's my three checkmarks. =)

I was wondering if anyone was going to post this. Bravo, good sir. =)

No. There's no way there can be a database of every song ever recorded, to cover multiple bitrates, multiple formats, differences between coding the same format with different programs... differences with the same program (VBR limits, and doesn't LAME have quality options?) It's impossible to even conceive of this working.
