New Philips eXpanium Will Use 3" CDs

SpunOne writes: "Phillips is gearing up to release their new eXpanium mp3 player. Unlike most players in the past that use proprietary storage technology, Phillips is turning to the use of those cute little 3 inch CDs that have been around forever, but never really used for much. Apparently most existing CD burners can already write to them, and the rest can do so with an adapter. Phillips even has a beta test available if you're interested in giving it a try." If you should get into the beta group (50 people), why not write up a report for us on this little device? If it only played .ogg files, I would try to pre-order from somewhere.

You'll never get modded up like that. You have to be more arrogant and militant.

Speaking of 3" media...

Speaking of 3" media, I just wanted to inform you, accompanying MY 3" media is a nice hot warm bowl of grits.

Wonder if anybody else did this

That answered "female" for Gender. (I'm male, and no I'm not trying to be funny)

But the way I see it, is that they're probably trying a wide range of people, and given the fact that there aren't nearly as many females as males, i gure I have a better chance at getting selected as a female.

Parts of speech and certain computer and gadget connectors - these have genders.

Humans, animals, flowers - we organisms have sexes.

Only members of sexually repressed societies are ashamed to use the word "sex" to refer to the maleness or femaleness of people. "Gender" in this context is a wholly American politically-correct corruption of the language.

Pls /. and troll this site that SCREWED ME OVER!

Horribly OT, I know, but I want to harness the slashdot effect, and the proliferation of ingenious trolls here for revenge on a company that royally FUCKED ME OVER. See, there's this company called CI Hosting (DBA World Web Services), and they are by far the WORST most INCOMPETENT web host on the planet. They make the IRS epitomize good customer service. Worse, they took a good sum of my money (hundreds of dollars) and are COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE! Their main site, http://www.worldwebservices.com/ is DOWN with a 403 error, and mail is BOUNCING. I've tried the BBB, etc, but this will tkae time, and I want them to suffer the consequences NOW!

So, EVERYONE, please go to ticketmonster.hostingsuppo rt.com and REGISTER for a free login/password. You DON'T need to be a customer.

If the /. effect doesn't kill them outright, then logging in lets you submit trouble tickets. So, spam them with brilliant trolls about Jews, goat sex, niggers, WHATEVER! Make their tech support team a living hell so they won't be able to answer any tickets at all -- it's no big loss, 'cause that's how they ALREADY are!

Finally, please write a nice email to noalegal@noa.nintendo.com explaining how CI Hosting is using Pokemon graphics and characters illegally and in infringement of Nintendo's copyright. Once you see the Ticketmonster site, you'll see what I mean. Hopefully Nintendo will slap them with a big lawsuit.

Anyways, please join in and teach them a LESSON for SCREWING ME LIKE THIS!
