HP DVD100i DVD+RW Burner Tested
An anonymous reader writes: "I'm fairly sure this is the first review of a DVD+RW drive. Looks like it fared well in testing. The only downsides to the 100i are slow DAE with audio CD's, lousy manuals, and it can't read DVD-RW (note the dash instead of the plus) discs. Still a tad expensive at 599USD though. Are you reading, Santa?" I want this as a heavy-duty *external* drive :)

Simple, for somthing like this it would be especially handy to be able to easily cart the machine around. I know I would get an external one, just so I could take it to friends houses.

This DVD burner is especially nice
but the thoroughput on this one is much higher.
nothing guarentees ubiquity except time.

If you were really Santa you'd know
My fellow trolls, you may not be aware but there is a Japanese language version of Slashdot. Please head on over to slashdot.jp and make sure they too have their share of first posts, goatse.cx links, trolls, and crapflooding.
If your browser can render Japanese text, so much the better. fXffVf...fhfbfgÅfgf[féÌÍAêÌ׾æ B-{"-ÉSyZ-¾I
JOHN COLTRANE would be 64 today if LEON CZOLGOSZ had not laid him low
1. Santa is an anagram of Satan. .... so is Satan.
2. Both like to live in extremes of temperature (Santa at the North Pole, Satan in Hell's eternal fire and brimstone).
3. Both know whether you have been naughty or nice
4. If you're bad, Santa gives you a lump of coal, Satan make you sit on burning coal.
5. Satan has his horned minions and helpers, Santa has his reindeer and elves.
6. Both appear dressed in red.
7. Santa is known as Saint Nick, Satan is known as Old Nick.
8. Both exist in ancient legends from many cultures.
9. Santa is real
10. Both try to attract young children to them, Santa with presents, Satan with promises of wicked fun.

Philadelphia, PA - In news that is sure to excite the Linux community, long time Linux developer Todd Stanton got laid.
"I still have trouble believing it myself," said Todd. "I was doing some coding when my power supply blew. Instead of pulling out the spare like I usually would, I decided to head down to Best Buy to check out the new DVD releases. Nothing new was out, so I bought another copy of 'The Matrix' since the one I had was pretty worn out. Turns out the checkout girl was a Matrix fan too and well one thing led to another."
Word spread rapidly on message boards and on IRC. "It's pretty irresponsible of him and shows his lack of dedication to Linux and the open source movement," said Fred Simpson. "If others try to emulate this behavior then a lot of projects could get derailed."
Others like Gary Wilcox were glad to hear the news, "We're tired of all those Microsoft developers shoving their Win-Ho's in our face. Now we can tell them about Todd. Who's laughing now?"
Some developers are also excited that this may increase their chances of getting lucky, but most are being realistic. Walker Crandall said, "We thought we'd all be doing the hokey-pokey after Bill Fitzsimmons got some during the LinuxWorld Conference in 1999. We were fooling ourselves. Nobody got nothing."
This is the third such occurrence for Linux developers since 1991.

Why's Santa always so Jolly?
Because he has a list of where all the bad girls live!
...dying to take it up the ass from Tux the Penguin.
He didn't get laid and didn't get head, he worked all day on the new SCTSI-IGE-mozbore-2.4 drivers.
The whole stuff just got overhyped on IRC, the usual from mosquito the elephant syndrome.
Posting AC due to NAZI bitchslapping
Well, the trolling here is pretty boring. I'm gonna put the troll filter back on.
The amusing part is I can't figure out why anybody'd be out to do it. I mean if you're going to spend the time mouthing off silly things, at least be creative and say something FUNNY. "so and so is gay" jokes are so... 1990.
I couldnt help but respond in this way to a post like this sorry for the off topicness but isn't a dog the best place for the lord to hide weed never assume that the things our loyal pets do had anything grander in mind but think of all the heroic kind and loving things dogs do so I choose now to start a list that I hope others will add to 1. Dog is mans best freind, man is gods best freind...I hope.
