That sounds both sad and hillarious.

Parodies of crappy 80s songs where the lyrics simply describe what's going on in the music video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0TYun-Nq1Q&feature=related
"Head Over Heels"

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1832838
"Take on Me"

There are others but these are the only two that put any effort into it; the rest are all offkey and not very funny.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #986 on:** December 25, 2008, 09:02:33 PM »

Both are of Take On Me. >_>

More Exile on why our media fails at objectivity. Stuff regarding coverage of the Georgia/Russia conflict and the bullshit that arose from that.

Like the link says. Every single first-generation Zune froze at 2AM this morning. Way to go, Microsoft. (and yes, I'm looking at my locked-up 30GB player right now. Fuuuuuun.)

hinode · « **Reply #991 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:32:13 PM »

Why would you ever buy a Zune, though?

Shale · « **Reply #992 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:36:12 PM »

Because it cost $100 less than an iPod would have, is way better for video, and has actual legacy support?

Taishyr · « **Reply #993 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:42:42 PM »

From what I can tell it's a calendar issue; 30-gig Zunes have 365-day calendars, and no date/time modification function (which means they run on Redmond/West Coast time).

Guess what day of the year this is!

Shale · « **Reply #994 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:45:38 PM »

They certainly seem to have a time modification function, at least, since mine displayed East Coast time just fine.

Somebody's getting fired for the 365-day thing, though.

Taishyr · « **Reply #995 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:51:29 PM »

Hm. Then Iunno! Maybe it's just the time mod and not the day mod. I'm mainly going off one guy saying he set his to tomorrow's date and got it to work.

Seriously: "build a calendar that works with leap years" is something that was taught to first year computer science students...10 years ago...as one of our beginner labs. Handling leap years wasn't even the hard part; the hard part was handling all the freaking months being different lengths.

Verification that it was a leap year error.
