the insurance gets cheaper when you are over 21 here (lol as teenagers like to pimp up there rides and crash them)

insurance is always moe for boys than girls as we dend stereotypically to be "boy racers" (you now what i mean by that phrase?)

same here. insurance for girls is cheaper. But that's dumb though, because girls are the ones that can't drive.

lol
In my opinion isn't the insurance industry being sexist? Seeing as they are offering female drivers better offers than us chaps? Yes some men do 'pimp' there rides but most do it for a hobby and they do a nice job of it, while others use Dr. Pepper cans as the exhaust vent and have a 5 foot high spoiler. Those kinds of people should pay more because they are idiots.

no

apple and microsofts formats are both superior to mp3 for quality

in terms of quality though, nothing beats .wav but the problem is that the files are huge. Mp3, wma etc... work by reducing the size by removing the frequencies humans cannot usually hear. They just use differeing algorithms to do thid.

google/wiki for losless and lossy audio compression and youll see what i mean

the only reason mp3 would be better than wma is because it's more widely supported. but jbennet's right, it's inferior in quality.

and nobody had better say that mp3 is a free format and wma isnt because thats not true. Mp3 is licened from Thompson, which is why many OSS apps and linux distros dont include it out of the box
