In other news dogs and cats are now really friends!
Can I make it four in one day?
First post story regarding my other first post posts
AC
probably not but still worth a try
Especially for some illicit applications.
I don't really see what all the fuss is about. I won't buy one until it supports Ogg.
You nerds have to get with the program: MP3 is the STANDARD.
Stop your bitching and CONFORM, damn it
That penguin drawing sucks cock. Why couldn't they just use the real logo? They're obviously anti-lunix, and should be removed from slashdot.
Oh wait, Micro$haft advertises here too.
Way to sell out to the almighty dollar, fools.
a Beowulf cluster of these badboys!

But only in Soviet Russia, you insensative clod!
I'm guessing from your use of "quotes" that you have no appreciation for fine porcelain. And obviously you have no respect for the gentle stroke of a master urinating on fine porcelain.
You need to spend more time learning about high society and culture.
Why is there 2 iPods stories a day here?
want to do something together sometime.
but should it be "is reporting" instead of "are reporting"? Something about matching singular/plural? I only ask because I have an english test coming up and if I'm wrong could someone explain why?
And referring to your sig, what the hell is wrong with being a Seth? :o(
/me shrugs.
nothing. But some idiot AC is replying to all my posts, accusing me of being seth finkelstein. I then get modbombed.
I'm now gonna get modded offtopic, but what the hey...
Don't bring your particular brand of perverted logic(stolen concept) into this. Man's inherent drive to create is logically antecedant on incentive. Remove incentive and you logically cannot create anything.
Yeah, right.
Like any slashdotter could get a partner, let alone get married!
Dihydrogen Monoxide! The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colourless, odourless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain. contributes to the "greenhouse effect." may cause severe burns. contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals. may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes. has been found in excised tumours of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant. in nuclear power plants. in the production of styrofoam. as a fire retardant. in many forms of cruel animal research. in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical. as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products. Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilise it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
It's Not Too Late!
Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world.
