...music they download. That $9.95 plan at Pressplay buys you unlimited downloads, but you can't move the songs to your portable MP3 player or burn copies of them onto a CD, and you can listen to them only so long as you're a Pressplay subscriber. Miss a payment, and the files lock up. For $8 more a month, Pressplay gives you 10 "portable" downloads that are free of those constraints. But compare that with the roughly infinite number of unrestricted, unconstrained, infinitely copyable downloads that Kazaa offers for roughly nothing, and you can see that Pressplay...
...night last week, I almost ripped off a parking lot. It had one of those honor systems where you're supposed to slide your payment into a numbered slot that corresponds to your parking space.

It was late, and I doubted that anyone would bust me, but I still ended up jogging across the street to a convenience store and buying a box of Tic Tacs I didn't want just to break a $20.

Just getting started was harder than anyone expected. Many ministries were looted, and some workers were still afraid to go to work.

As for order, some police officers went back to work in Baghdad, but all was not quiet there or in other cities. Those police officers were all products of the old regime, and many Iraqis were reluctant to accept them as arbiters of the new. In Kirkuk, says Ahmad Shakir, an Arab teacher from...
...Jackie Peterson: I will tell you exactly what happened. He sold his car because his job has changed. He doesn't have to haul stuff anymore. And he couldn't afford it. He was making a payment, and we loaned him a car to drive instead. Apparently from what we now hear, the police had a device attached to it. His attorney knew where he was at all times. We talked to him every day. And the police asked us if we'd talk to him and we'd say, "Yes, we talk to him at least once...
