On the subject, what software are people using to remove DRM from downloaded iTunes songs? My girlfriend has ~$200 in downloaded music on various computers that needs to be consolidated.

Landlord Issues

I'm renting a room in a house. Been here for ~1 year. Ever since my landlord's wife has moved into the house, my living space has been completely up-ended. Everything she wants, goes. For instance, now I'm not "allowed" to use the fridge in the kitchen, or park in the front of the house, etc. To add...

As a New Mexican, I basically support every established drink with tequilla. (Bob has already listed them). However, I concede that the typical American Margarita is not a "manly" drink. The typically American Margarita is overly sweet and watered down -- basically a slushie with some Cuervo thrown ...

Quality Free Dating Site

Yeah I know a popular free site: http://www.okcupid.com It's free and caters to young people.

I get messaged at least once...

Damn, both of Jonathan's sisters are 100% doable. As for who is hotter, it's a tough call and I leave that to the dictates of each owns conscience. Back in the day I was hoping I would get invited to Jonathan's wedding so I could have a chance to see his sisters again. Jonathan foiled my plans by no...

I'm a fan. In January I downloaded all the eps and watched them sequentially. I actually think that Veronica's slick-if-highly-implausible spy hijinks are much more gratifying that Buffy's delves into the occolt. All that Diablo D&D bullshit always made my eyes roll. Combat scenes are also at a mini...

I'm in the Pittsburgh market. I think the best strategy for me is to buy a shitty place, improve it to being a decent place using the labor of illegal immigrants, and then try to fake the rest of it by strategically decorating with Ikea furniture.
