| They do this in the UK, too, but it dosent work well at all, I don't think any ISPs except Virgin even bother any more. True. Those barstewards have also blocked Lime & Frost Wire P2P services here in the UK. Now if I want a song and don't want to pay for it (which is usualy the case, as I only... |

| Vinyl is no better as it is even worse than CD. Vinyl has superiority with smaller ensembles while CDs have superiority with larger ensembles. Vinyl is one of the reasons why we ditched the orchestras of the 19th century in the first place. Original "Vinyl" type records were not electric, but wind-... |

| Are SACD or DVD-A still around? Yes, but, here in the west at least (don't know about the Asian markets), they've gone the way of the laserdisc in that they're (relatively) expensive specialist formats which I'm sure will die out when something better comes along (like when DVD replaced laserdisc). |

| A 12inch vinyl copy of Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" single from 1984. Great voice, great song, great production, not 1 second of a 7 minute 13 seconds track wasted, how many pop songs can you say that about? Perfect 10:48pm music. Before that I was listening to some mp3 downloads of Danish (I thin... |

| I also noticed that men with AS seem to prefer women of different races than their own and seem to prefer the interracial marriage. Maybe it has to do with a self loathing? So Magnus, marring someone of a differant race than yourself somehow means you have self loathing issues? Please explain that ... |

I couldn't quite grasp the concepts of behind and out of site, if I couldn't see it then it weren't there. Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? But t... |

But often the funniest 
I use and understand sarcasm as it's usage is often deliberatly absurd, and I understand absurdity to be funny because it goes against my tendancies to be logical and pedantic. |

| It's a real shame they didn't hit him, I (and 6,000,000,000 other people) would have laughed my head off. You get the impression Bush is totally oblivious as to how hated he is (both abroad and in his own country), or maybe he just don't care. Good riddence Mr. Bush, you won't be missed. |

| 95% of the people mentioned here are NTs. I would say 100%, plus the person who compiled it obviously doesn't know what an Aspie is. Dan Akroyd says he is AS as does Gary Numan. Who are we to doubt them? And while we can safely say Tiny Tim (one of my heroes :D ) was severly OCD I'd say he was a go... |

| Furthermore, Dali's assistants were required to wear all black clothing, lest he not recognise them if they wore differant things. I can relate to that. Frankly I've never thought of Dali as having AS, but then again I haven't really read/watched anything about him for years. Though I'm still tempt... |
