Review of Pay Napster

An Anonymous Coward writes: "A beta tester for the recently released subscription version of Napster has anonymously posted his impressions of the new service. He finds it remarkably similar to the old one, both good '... browsing through a real person's music collection, sending them messages and recommending them new music' and bad '... broken tracks, cancelled transfers and a complete inability to stream or preview tracks.' The service allows 50 tracks a month, but there was little decent content to fill those slots. Messages to other beta testers found mixed reactions among fellow users. Still, the writer holds out some optimism for Napster's chances."

Sad day ... Stephen King dead by Anonymous Coward · 2002-01-15 10:06 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

  Get it right "In a weird twist to Stephen King's real-life horror story, the driver who ran over and nearly killed the bestselling horrormeister last year has been found dead. " From e-online.com

I worked at OSDN for a year.

The only thing I can say is they are getting
what they deserve. Any company that treats people
like OSDN treated their employees, deserves
to die a slow painful death, what they are doing.

I was the 6th systems administrator in less than 2 years to quit, and apparently 4 have quit since I left. The only ironic part is after I left, they fired the main sources of problems.. their incompetent executive staff.. Their IT manager was
fired thank goodness, he was a nepotism hire by their vp of engineering CmdrTaco, who was also fired.

Let them rot, and let the AC's be free.

This is my favorite song:

Here is my ass
Which you may kiss.
Take time and aim well
You don't want to miss.

For if you aim low
And your lips they do fall
Then you will find
You'll be sucking my balls.

If you aim high
Despite your true heart
Sucks to be you
Now you're eating my fart.

There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My First Post is my best friend.
It is my reason for having a login.
I must master it, as I must master my login.
Without me my First Post is useless.
Without my First Post, I am useless.
I must post my First Post quickly.
I must post faster than Anonymous Cowards who are trying to humiliate me.
I must post quickly before he First Posts ahead of me.
I will.
Before God I swear this creed.
My First Post and myself are defenders of Slashdot.
We are the masters of Anonymous Cowards.
We are the saviours of my login.
So be it... until there are no Anonymous Cowards... but peace.
Amen.
