11/21   I have a CD that I can play just fine from my CD player.  But when
        I put it into my CD drive in my computer, the computer thinks it's
        a blank CD.  How can this be?  And more importantly, how can I rip
        MP3s from this CD if my computer won't recognize it?
        \_ Quick!  Sell this CD to the RIAA for a million dollars!
        \_ It's copy protected--probably something like AEC.  Alcohol 120%
           makes pretty short shrift of this sort of crap.  -John

        Top 10 philanthropists. The Waltons are stingy...
        \_ Have you seen the benefits for Walmart employees?  You're
           just figuring this out?  They are worth billions with more
           money than they could ever spend in 10 lifetimes yet their
           core workforce is working without basic benefits.
           \_ Well, I don't like WalMart, not because of their corporate
              policy, but that they have crappy goods and their prices
              aren't all that cheap.

11/21   jotd: The day that doctors announced that Yasser Arafat is in a
        vegetative state, a Palestinian newspaper published the headline
        "The Great Leader is Brain Dead." If this were published in the
        United States of America, no one would really have noticed.

        Gun loving Republicans hunters got into an argument and
        shot each other. 5 Republicans dead.
