I'm also near Atlanta. We had maybe 4 inches of snow. Grocery stores were cleaned out of bread and milk in advance. The interstates were a disaster. School was cancelled for a week. People down here don't know how to deal with snow. And it doesn't help that it's always wet icy slush instead of dry dusty snow. My husband jokes that you could send someone to the emergency room with an icy Georgia snowball.

FBI and NYPD Officers Sent On Museum Field Trip 70

In an attempt to "refresh their sense of inquiry" FBI agents, and NYPD officers are being sent to a course at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Art of Perception hopes to improve an officers' ability to accurately describe what they see during an investigation by studying art. From the article: "Amy Herman, the course leader, said: 'We're getting them off the streets and out of the precincts, and it refreshes their sense of inquiry. They're thinking, "Oh, how am I doing my job," and it forces them to think about how they communicate, and how they see the world around them.' Ms Herman, an art historian, originally developed the course for medical students, but successfully pitched it as a training course to the New York Police Academy."

Yes, I understand why they designed it that way, after all, they sell music. But when Itunes won't even allow me to copy off mp3s to another machine that I own, or load my ipod from two of my machines, it annoys me. I'll just not use itunes, and not accidently wipe out my entire ipod moving between machines. Plus I don't care for itunes anyhow.

I think he's referring to the way you can do more with Winamp. With the Winamp ipod plugin you can transfer music from any ipod to any computer, and from any computer to any ipod. Itunes doesn't want to let you share, says "oops you synced with another computer, delete everything?"
