Rio Car (Empeg) Sounds Like History

Posted by timothy on from the didn't-play-oggs dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "An unoffical announcement on the empeg BBS (home of their finatical user base) is that SONICblue's current aftermarket car linux product, the Rio Car (formerly the empeg Car Player) has been EOL'd. While it remains the most advanced car player available, there was not enough demand to keep that group profitable. It will continue to be sold through their e-stores (Non-USA and USA) until inventory is exhausted. This was/is the ultimate in car stereo for MP3 playback. Disappointing."

    Is that supposed to be funny? I think you need some help with, like, you know .. your brain thing.

    Well anyway, I suppose I'd better stay on topic, so here is a nice hot muslim chick for you to hate, sans clothes.

    Enjoy!

    I was thinking about becoming a podiatrist, but after seeing those nasty, dirty feet of most of the pictures in that directory, I'm going to change my profession once again.

    BTW, how do you know she's Muslim?

    All your bunions are belong to us.

    Say what? Dude .. you never seen a Muslim lady in the nude? Most of 'em look like that without all the robes, veils and facecloths y'know. It's no wonder the bloke-Muslims cover their womenfolk up!

    Okay so I know not all of you slashdotters here are big fans of his work but there is no doubting his impact on popular culture. We should all take a moment here to think about love peace and the hot new version of "what's going on" which has what the original was always screaming for- a rap from lil kim! We should cover all the hit singles from the 70's and let lil kim rap on them!

    What you're asking for would cost almost as much as an empeg, and 1394 interfaces ain't cheap.

    The hard drive is a small fraction of the cost of the thing.

    You can always buy the smallest capacity empeg and put your own drive in the second bay.

    I have Steven Levys book called "Hackers" and take my inspiration from it. I can relate to some of those guys at MIT. What a shame that the very word that made most of what the computing industry is today, is now associated with criminal behaviour. Very saddening.
