What Sounds Better, MP3 or Ogg?
I've never been able to make a clear decision on the subject. These days I rip all my CDs to MP3 at 160kbs which means about 80 megs for a longer album. With a 100g drive on order ($220. I remember paying more then that for .1% of that space) disk space isn't really the defining issue, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna rip everything at 300kbs just because I can. I'm curious what people think sounds better, and what bit rates they find to be acceptable for both casual listening, and more picky listening. Don't forget to mention what sort of equipment your listening on so we know where you are
coming from.
Yeah... Take a big dic-k up your ass you linux fa-g.
you are a big dummy poop head, you smell and you are stinky, and you eat poop.

QUEST FOR RUSTY
V0.0096_B
My ultimate fantasy has become one of a nearly impossible hope. Yet, that small grain of light it does reluctantly yield continues to build this fantasy further. I erect instantly at the thought of relationship with this charming person. As a young gay man, my ultimate fantasy is to get fucked by Rusty of Geekizoid dot com.
Why this person? Because he seems so excellent at trolling, he is obviously a disgruntled, frustrated person -- one similar in emotion to myself. I think that a lot of trolls out there are really self-denying homosexuals; they don't know how to come to terms with their true desires and need a way to take out pent-up aggression.
I really think it could work between us. Rusty, if you are hearing me, please give me some way to contact you. I am going to divulge some of the
fantasy context further.
I find a method to contact you and arrange to meet you. You arive at the consented location. I outstretch my arms to hug you... Your warm,
firm body... Your short, beautiful hair... You weren't expecting the hug but it feels so nice to be loved, loved by someone who truly would do anything for you.
When we arive to the secluded location, I begin touching you all over. I remove your shirt, run my hands down your chest, tickle your armbits. Next, I undo your zipper with my mouth, unbotton your pants
and slide them delicately down. I run your inner thigh and you quiver. I touch your manhood from a protective layer of cloth.
We move to shower together, myself taking care to clean us both meticulously. Next, we move to the bed, and I take your cock in my mouth. You move my head with your hands and begin a constant motion. I move you over to your other side and place light kisses on your bum-cakes. After a few minutes or so, I get on all fours which is met with you ramming your cock into me. You begin a steady flow of movement, occassionally stopping to hug my back with your chest and whisper dirty sentences in my ear. I tighten my inner muscles. You have never felt a sensation like this before and marvel at it's
intenseness. The fact that it is being given by someone who truly adores and appreciates you is even more encouraging. I start moving my behind to meet your thrusts. You finally come, crying out, lashing my insides even further. When you have finally pulled out, I stroke your air, kiss your chest and compliment you on your performance. "I want
to be yours, forever."
If anyone knows Rusty's email address, IRC nickname, etc, or if he himself wants to surrendor data(s), I would be ever so greatful.
I just masturbated. Feels good.
:o)
Go Microsoft Baby!
Just ran into that 14sec after hitting reply or whatever.
How silly can you get? Makes it more, not less likely to use an automated posting device...
Which look better, PNG or GIF files?
AC's cheerfully ignored
CmdrTaco's periodic references to his large CD collection exemplify a common disconnect in the "information wants to be free" community (of which I count myself a member): while bemoaning the DMCA, SSCA, CPRM, and other greatest hits of the media hegemon, most "geeks" simultaneously fork over hundreds of dollars a year in essentially pure profit to that same hegemon, which is promptly forwarded to those despised lawyers and Senators. Enlightened spending is a much more effective weapon against corporations than letters to representatives. Major label revenues are already down in comparison with independents; a Slashdot-sized boycott with a clear ideological agenda could break the back of the fascist IP lobby forever. I wish prominent outlets like Slashdot, which have the potential to influence the buying habits of a massive faction of consumers, would set a better example in this regard.
