Even though this thread has taken a turn to a deeper note, it's $2.16 a gallon here in Oklahoma.

$1.35 per L. You guys have it so ****ing easy. 1 L = 0.264 Gallons (US/Liquid).

We are at $5.95/gallon at the moment over here... (for regular fuel). I´m pretty happy to drive a car that gets 60 mpg.... Bye, Frido.

Since I've been trying for the last day or more to post a new topic without any luck, I'm recycling this old topic of mine that no one responded to. I don't think the system will a…

Man! I wish I knew this a week ago... I bought the Belkin battery for my 5G/60GB. A quick Froogle searched showed that this was the best deal...today. Thanks.

One of my ears is very slightly "misformed" or something along those lines. Not really noticeably visible, but when i try to put earbuds in it, they usually don't fit, and if they…

Without ordering custom-made, the Shures have a number of foam and rubber inserts. A cheap alternative is the ear buds for the standard iPod headphones, caps that fit in the ear.

I would say the Shure E3c ear buds. They have many versions but the E3c is probally the most common to find at a guitar shop or such. They are a bit pricy though. I think they h…

On the iPod, under photo slideshow settings, can you see an option to select what type of slideshow? I don't have a 5G but they're supposed to have improved eye candy for slideshow…

As the iPod gets full, it would be nice thing to be able to put some of the purchased music on "hold"--i.e. remove it from the iPod but leave it within iTunes. I'd want to do it in…

I'm not sure why any of this would affect your five "uses" but if you want to exclude certain songs from being copied to your iPod, there are several ways to do it. I'll outline on…

Thanks again, icruise. I'll give it a try later today.
