Why I don't rip my CDs
From a comment here :

I have no interest in ripping my CDs for a number of reasons:
- I listen to whole albums at a time, cycling through my collectionin an essentially fixed order. This means that at any given time I'monly really interested in the next few CDs and having everything sittingon disk is of no particular benefit.
(Cycling through my collection this way avoids the twin perils ofburning out on albums that I really

Link: Serif vs. Sans Serif Legibility
Which Are More Legible: Serif or Sans Serif Typefaces? by Alex Pooleis a review and summary of a whole pile of writing about this. I'll cutto the conclusion (don't worry, it's not a spoiler since Alex Poole putsit in the first paragraph of the introduction):

首次作為女性被訪問
嗯，這應該與鄙人相涉的標題中最具性指涉的了，嗚呵呵呵。女記者很和善，問及感情問題的時候，有那種女性談天時壓低聲線的慣性。我沉吟半晌，非常誠懇地說，其實我係比較孤僻。
