Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes

squiggleslash writes "Apple has issued an update to iTunes 4, iTunes 4.0.1. It can be downloaded via Software Update. The big change seems to be that iTunes will now only stream music to other Macs on the same subnet. This is presumably a response to people publishing public lists of shared iTunes playlists, though it does mean that anyone wanting to stream music from home to work or vice versa is SOL. Oh well." You can't share between 4.0 and 4.0.1 iTunes, so be careful in updating. AppleScript access to shared playlist tracks is fixed, though. Woop woop.

    I asked a geek "Do you have a girlfriend?". He responded with a very puzzled look. "A girlfriend?," he mused, "Who is the developer?". I chuckled and told him this was not an open source project. He then became slightly angry and inquired, "Are you trying to insult me? Only the best geeks use open source only! What planet are you living on?!". I reassured him I was well aware of his integrity as a geek (white skin, clumsy, pants that are too short, lack of daily shower, pocket protector etc), and explained, "A girlfriend is a female who to a male (most oftenly a male) has an intimate friendship." He gave me a very confused look. "I have never heard of such a thing.. this.. g-g-irlfriend?" He asked me, sounding very baffled. "I have heard of friends before, those pets other people have. But what is this thing you say.. Grill?". "Girl," I corrected. Then I asked him to sit down on a bench nearby so I could explain it too him, the poor, helpless thing. I told him that for human beings to reproduce, sexual intercourse must occur between a male and a female. "Perhaps you hear the trolls mention a thing called "pussy" on slashdot?". The geek burst into laughter, "Haha, you have been browsing at -1 lately, haven't you? You know that is just troll talk. Those silly trolls never have anything intelligent to say." My face turned serious. "My dear geek, are you not aware of the female population amongst you? Do you not stare in the street and want to hump a post when you pass by a hot, slim, gorgeous looking chick with a firm bust and well sculpted ass?". The geek immediately began to appear as if we was having a nervous breakdown. His glasses began to fog up and he took them off to wipe them with this linux embroidered shirt, "I think I know what you are talking about. Those things are icky. They have cooties. Get away from me!" I felt offended. "Nonsense, I pleaded! Pussy is a beautiful thing. A sacred thing that you should strive to give pleasure to." The geek would not listen and he began to cry. "STOP IT!! You are EVIL!!" He then, quite geekishly, skipped off down the path. I walked back to my house feeling rather disheartened. 'Why don't they listen to me' I asked myself? When I got home my girlfriend opened the door. She was wearing short-shorts and a sports bra. She had been doing the thigh master for the past 30 minutes and was sweating. I could see her dark nipples underneath her slightly damp bra. Oh god I could fuck her to the moon and back. I could smell her horniness the second I took my shoes off. I chased her, both of us laughing, to our bedroom [THE FOLLOWING has been censored for the well-being of geeks].... Six hours later, finally satisfied a little, I sat up and noticed that same geek hiding in the trees. He had been watching us the entire time. I swear his penis had to have been the size of a fucking horse cock (not bad for a geek, i might add), and he appeared as if he had gone into a state of shock. I could see cum stains forming near the bulge of his pant zipper. I thought to myself. There is one geek, finally brought into the real world.

    Slashdot definitely should create a new "sections". I would really appreciate it if I could have the buzzling slashdot community connected on valuable issues as this. I know a few of them of some know-how contribute. A storm eh? That sounds very interesting. The deep, random thunder could easily accentuate the feelings of ecstacy as you perform those pleasurable acts of intimacy with mares hither and yonder. As if you were caught in a swirling love storm... A fantasy world so to speak. Much of the enjoyment seems ineffable in a sense, but I do certainly sense the joy of a stormy encounter with those irresistable mares.

    I appreciate a GOOD troll. Plain -1 is poor. My friend wrote a good one. He described a pretty important scholarschip problem, but about the middle he began getting boring... and by the end of the scholarschip, he wrote the participants are required, as a part of the final test, take a trip to Africa and have sex with a real zebra. Then a few smart words, some neat summary... He got a nice +1 or maybe +2 as insightful before someone noticed and the crowd rushed to -1 him :)

  15. Us mac users don't use black dildos by Ilan+Volow · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    It's a common misconception that us mac users use black dildos. We mac users actually use iDildo's, which have attractive titanium-covered finish and play mp3's that you can download for 99 cents from Apple.

    We also write Applescript for our iDildos, such as

    tell application "dildo"
    vibrate
    end tell

    While PC users tend to make fun of us for not using more conservative beige-colored dildos, we smile and think nothing of it as we watch them fiddle for hours on end just trying to get their dildos to work.
