That's why you chose a service with an offline mode http://mp3.about.com/od/digitalmusicdelivery/tp/Streaming-Services-With-A-Music-Caching-Feature-Listen-To-Your-Music-Offline.htm

Had it with new car, Dropped it when couldn't justify the TCO (total cost of owenership) vs use made. Depends on your use case. If you have bluetooth, AUX-IN , or an FM transmitter, then any solid state playback device (smart phone / sansa clip) will trump SQ and playing your choice of music / audiobook / podcast vs being restricted to a playlist based "station". That said, I did enjoy my fix of BBC World Service, on the go, while it lasted. (Modern Multi Disk CD players especially those with MP3 playback, means lots of music at your fingertips for less, at a SQ of your choosing) If you do go with / keep XM, then play close attention to the Satellite radio forum on AVS http://www.avsforum.com/f/101/xm-and-sirius-satellite-radio for how to "game" the CS reps into offering you a "one time only'" renewal for $77 / year , 6 months for $25, or whatever the current special is. If you leave, they'll beg you to come back with specials. Their business model relies on inertia sales once they have you. If you have a smart phone with data plan, the marginal cost of Mog / Spotify / Pandora may be a winner, and you can use them outside of the car.

He warned last year that the country had "crossed the proverbial rubicon" as it moved to devalue its currency by increasing the money supply, a strategy which he says, could see a US dollar - which currently trades at around 98 yen - worth more than 120 yen over the next two years. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/10045933/Japan-is-adding-a-Ponzi-scheme-to-a-Ponzi-scheme.html

Wow, CJ. Insulting armed police officers. Potential Darwin Award winners? Is stupidity uniformly distributed, or did you just encounter a statistical clustering?
