I am currently working on a paper about the psychology of music, but I’m having some problems locating any good sites. Its for college, so somewhat credible sources would be great(no wiki type sites). Thanks in advance!

Best of luck on your paper,

I've been told they use a packet sniffer, namely this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snort_%28software%29
It ran at 700kB/s for less than a day. I woke up the next morning to find my internet kicked down to 56k, but now its fine again, except for the bittorrent downloads.
I'm using azureus with the ono plugin here:
http://aqualab.cs.northwestern.edu/
I tried changing my ports a couple of times but that didn't help. I'm using windows Vista. Does anyone have any suggestions?
since it is connected to a school router that is the set speed for downloading so people don't download music and videos because it would take to long thier download speed is specifically for school functions. There is no way to change that unless you have your own internet connection. Everyone at college is stuck with a slow download speed my college does that to and it sucks.

electoral college?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
Has anyone ever met or known an elector? Do they always vote the way their state votes?
pink,
You have two good answers and it would be a better process if most of the "electors" were college professors not beholden to a particular party.
Having said that:
The electors are generally selected because of their “service” to their POLITICAL PARTY”!
I suppose that many or even most people find no problem with this. I do have a problem with the process as it elevates a political party with something that should be respected enough to actually select the president.
The sad fact is that over the decades political parties are mostly qualified more for prison time than picking a president.
I agree with our first President when he warned the American People, in his published farewell address printed in the nation’s newspapers, NOT to adopt a two party system.
Did we listen? NO! What did we gain by ignoring this very good advice? Sadly, the pathetic system we now suffer.

The right to vote?
So all that work for nothing eh?
I'm tired of being told how privledged I am to vote…when the Electoral College are the ones who really choose.
This isn't the best link but here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_College
players: I know there are countries that allow husbands to discipline thier wives—that is not the discussion here.
It's not that you HAVE to, but the point is, you CAN.
How about this as a privilege? You are here, at your computer, expressing an opinion. It differs from mine, and that's perfectly fine. It's not illegal, no one will stone you for it. There are countries that make it fine for a man to beat you for no reason. Is that the life you want?

Do you think Obama would try lawsuits like Al Gore did, or do you think he’d go down in defeat honorably?
BTW, the 2000 election was not the first time the candidate who got more popular votes didn’t win the election. “Candidates can fail to get the most votes in the nationwide popular vote in a Presidential election and still win that election. This occurred in 1876, 1888 and 2000.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_College
Just curious what you think Obama would do…
McCain wil be the president as that is the law of the land.
I would hope a Harvard Law Grad would realize he's up against the law and concede, not embarrass himself like Al Gore.
BTW, the electoral college wouldn't work in the reverse to favor McCain. Obama is supported heavily in California and New York. Those are big electoral college states. McCain must win the littler states to offset them. He'll win in middle America, but Obama COULD still get the popular vote.
But, that's NOT how you win.

It is possible for Obama to win the popular vote but lose the election because of our Electoral College system of electing our President. This has happened before in the 2000 Election of Bush vs Gore. Gore won the popular vote by more than a half a million votes, but he lost the Election.

OK people, the popular vote I'm talking about is not the superdelegate vote, it is the actual number of votes when the American people elect the President. And the Electoral College is not the same as Superdelegates, they are completely different people.
I'm not talking about the Obama vs Clinton Democratic Primary. I'm talking about the Presidential election this November between Obama and McCain.
Oh oh……here we go again…………….
yes , that's an interesting question…………I would imagine all hell breaking loose and calls, once again, to abolish this antique Electoral college system.
it is a relic of times past, when voting in rural areas was all but impossible, if not extremely difficult.
a single vote system should be just that…………
one vote per person——may the better candidate win.
I don't understand people who think if you do away with the Electoral college……..Utah won't get heard.
Sure they will………….their one vote per person, will count exactly the same as all the one votes per person in California, or Montana, or New York.
One vote means one vote.
a system where my democrat vote is transformed into a red state vote………..that's just BS.
I ,in no way supported this Iraq invasion…….I don't agree with that policy………and I don't care HOW many republicans live in my state………I want MY vote to count.
and I say………….kick that knucklehead out!!!!

I was reading the wikipedia article on the US presidential electoral college and saw that not all states require their presidential electors to vote they way they pledged to on election day. The article says,
"The Constitution does not require the electors to vote as pledged, but many states have enacted laws that do require their electors to vote as pledged."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
Which states do and don't require this of their electors?
A source would be great as I'm in an argument with my father related to this.

Obama could lose the Presidency in November due to the US system of Presidential Election called the "Electoral College". Obama will not win the Presidency this November even if he receives more votes than than McCain if the he does not win the Electoral College.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_College
READ THE FINE PRINT……..I'm NOT talking about the Obama vs Clinton Democratic primary. I AM TALKING ABOUT the US Presidential Election this November between OBAMA vs MCCAIN.
The Democratic Primary Superdelegate system is NOT what I am talking about.
The ELECTORAL COLLEGE is completely different than the Superdelegates. The Electoral College determines who wins the Presidency, not the Primary.
This is how Gore lost to Bush in the 2000 Election. Gore had over a half a million more votes than Bush, however, he lost the Electoral College and lost the Presidency to Bush.
I was kind of hoping for an answer that said they(Democrats, especially Black dems) would organize to amend the constitution to repeal the Electoral College so this wouldn't happen again.
good ole fashioned street rioting~~

I love classical music… and football. But rarely do you ever see the two mixed. Song is Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #2 1st movement Allegro.
Chester Pitts Wiki Notes:
HIGH SCHOOL
Pitts attended the California Academy of Mathematics and Science in Carson, California. His school did not have a football program, so he threw the shot put and the discus on the track and field team and won All-League honors and set several school records. He plays the oboe.
COLLEGE
Pitts attended San Diego State University and walked on the football team. As a sophomore, he saw action in nine games and graded out at 83% for blocking consistency, made 60 knockdown blocks, and allowed only 1 sack throughout his sophomore season.
At SDSU, Pitts was an accomplished oboe player and worked bagging groceries at Ralph’s. Ephraim Salaam approached him to tell him to play football which led him to walk on at SDSU, resulting in his NFL career.
