I listen to it from time to time also. Over the years I've come to appreciate a LOT of different Genre's.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

There's a few genres I like less than others, but overall there's little music I couldn't enjoy from time to time.
Favourites? Dance, chill out, black metal, some soundtracks and probably about anything psychedelic (especially the 70's infused occult rock that's been a bit of a hype lately)

Yeah I hate noise too, I took my son to a NiN concert a few years back and the cover band was noise so we went and had adult cocktails until NiN came on and ended up leaving about half the way through. They suck in concert. Not fond of Jazz and hate rap, and anything Gangsta.
Didn't know chill was a genre until I visited my brother in Phoenix last yea and he turned me on to it really like Enigma. Oh and love the blues!

Still very good though.
Chillout, trip hop, new age, deep house... Who cares, right? As long as the music speaks to the soul
For artists I'm thinking Air, Moby, Massive Attack, The Art of Noise (no, they don't make noise!), The Orb, perhaps even some Vibrapshere and Shpongle (trance) and Enya (yes, also new age )...
If you're interested you can check out my last.fm profile[^].
I'm not much of a jazz fan either, but I can very much appreciate acts such as Gare Du Nord and Room Eleven (both Dutch). And then I found the, also Dutch, Lefties Soul Connection who swing and rock and jazz like there's no tomorrow!
I used to listen to rap about 15 years ago. I still like some of it, like Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, Run-DMC...
Blues a little less, although a friend of mine likes it a lot. so I get some exposure

Yeah, like all the sexual innuendos they put in these "kids" movies to keep us adults entertained.

Yep, those
Like when Hercules and Meg go out on a date. They come back and Hercules says "And then that, that play, that, that, that Oedipus thing. Man, I thought *I* had problems."
I also liked when he looks at his trophies and he actually has a lion skin from Scar from the Lion King

As Matthew pointed out last December[^], using AdBlockPlus can dramatically slow down your browser, and eat memory like it's the last bacon sandwich on Earth.
Scott Hanselman's just posted a link to a new alternative: µBlock[^]. It claims to have a much lower memory footprint, much lower CPU, and block more ads.
Might come in handy for people who keep lots of browser tabs open!

Installed it and de-installed AdBlock
I probably won't even notice on this machine, but only thinking it's faster is worth something already

Hmmm, I installed it yesterday and it seems the browser is faster.
But now Avast is whining about it...saying it has a poor reputation.

Strange - does Avast give you any more details?
It's possibly just that very few Avast users have installed the plugin, so the reputation system doesn't know about it.

I looked for details and couldn't find any.
Even more strange, I only got the warning on one of my two machines.
Anyways, uBlock fails to block an ad that AdAware does block, so for now, back to AdAware.

After a clean restore of my laptop and removing bloated ware of manufacturer, its clean,lean and fast.
Now I am in the stage where I need to load mp3 in my Ipod.
So can anyone save the soul of my laptop by suggesting some way to load mp3 without the iTunes .
Internet has so much information that I am not able to select between crap and real info.
So any personal experience?
cheers,
Super

Spotify can work with your iDevice, but maybe that's just out of the frying pan and into the fire?

I use foobar2000 with the ipod manager plugin.

WINAMP!!!
I know it's pretty much dead, but you can still actually download the latest version.
Just plugin your iPod, start up WinAmp, add mp3s to your library and drag/drop mp3's to your iPod device.
You can also listen to the mp3s on your iPod using WinAmp.
You'll get no auto-sync (preferably the wrong way), erroneous auto-tagging and other crap that iTunes usually does.
WinAmp, it really kicks the llama's iTunes ass!

Following the proud tradition in the Lounge of responding to such questions with completely irrelevant answers, I'll suggest buying a Pioneer turntable, an Hitachi dual cassette deck, and a Bose amp and speakers.
You can then use that lot to load up tapes for a Walkman.

Started out by rewriting a SQL procedure that could take up to 15 minutes to take up to 4 seconds (that felt goooood).
Rewrote some code to have a page refresh instantly instead of taking 5 - 10 seconds (felt pretty good too).
Wrote a small document for work on some architecture we had discussed.
Looked into some SQL Server database backup stuff because we need a good backup/restore plan (still looking into it, tips are welcome).
Tried to create some space on a HD in Windows Server 2008 R2, unfortunately not much could be gained.
Dealt with sometimes performing queries (for which I now have some possible causes and solutions thanks to QA, awesome! ).
Solved a stupid HTML, CSS and Knockout.js issue.
Were I still with my former employer my week would be like this: Do C# stuff.
Not saying my previous employer was bad or anything, but the work wasn't very diverse.
I'm not regretting getting a new job

Count your blessings; my week is generally "do SSIS stuff".

I think any "do X stuff" job becomes boring after a while. I want to do X and Y and Z and...
It's now mostly C# and SQL Server though. Some front-end with HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
And some incidental random thing like write a document, do some research, etc.
I'm not ruling out some Java and Oracle later though
