Katze mit Wut

Modern formats like Ogg Vorbis or MP3 do not only allow you to store you music in compressed form, they also facilitate "tagging" it, i.e., storing meta-data like the artist, the album the song is on and the year when it was released in a portion of the file called the "tag." The standard that describes tags for MP3 files is called ID3, and few people know that ID3 tags may contain images of the artist, the album's cover, or a variety of other things. (Of course, the evidence file-manager supports ID3 and will display an image from the tag instead of the generic "MP3-song" icon if one is found.)
The common response to this gem is people calling such tags bloat.
The common response to that is that 10 KB of JPG image in 6 MB of MP3 doesn't exactly constitute bloat.
Sometimes, this answer is spiced up with a little calculation illustrating how many image tags you'd have to create before stealing diskspace for even one soundfile.

Bloody Lara bloody Croft. And I never even played the game. Nor did I give any of the bollocky artifacts/archeology answers. But what did I expect, clicking British/accent/Angelina Jolie. I suppose. Maybe we should consider it progress that there are girl-results at all, and I suppose she really isn't so bad, except for the ugly breasts. It's just that the movie was so lame. Sure, we all knew it wasn't going to be brilliant like Girl, Interrupted, or at least good like Gia, but an action movie still needs good pacing, and Tomb Raider just didn't have that -- and what's with the sucky soundtrack? I wish they'd taken a few cues from the first Matrix movie that way. Well, at least I didn't end up being someone from SuperMario-Land, so I suppose I'll hold my peace forever. Even though I really should've been Sindel.
