Sandisk Sansa e260

Sansa arrived two days early. Hooked up to laptop and transferred music smoothly. Great sound for an MP3 player. I love the lanyard that comes with it because I can wear it around my neck and under my jacket. The bud head phones even have a golden connector pin. Talk about fancy.

The player holds 4 GB of music, so it's not an upgrade from the iPod Mini, but I don't foresee myself ever having more than 2 - 3 GB. If I do, I'll get a memory expansion card.

Vote

Went up to ROHS and voted for Ron Paul in the primaries. They moved the election to the gym and I was kindly pointed there by one of the hall narcs.

I really hope people will give Paul consideration. His ideas are not new, but rather are the ideas on which this nation was originally founded. These are the ideas we need to get back to in order to be truly at liberty.

CNET, RIAA does NOT claim ripping a CD is illegal

Despite a Washington Post article (and the fact that the RIAA is widely despised for suing their customers) the RIAA did NOT claim that ripping a CD to your computer is wrong. In fact what the RIAA specifically stated (in their brief vs. Jeffrey Howell) that ripping files directly to his "share folder", hence with the INTENT TO SHARE, is wrong.
