Dell Announces New Music Player, Download Service
gotr00t writes "It appears that Dell Computer Corp. has announced that by the end of the year, they will have released their digital audio player, known in short as the 'Dell DJ.' Along with the player, there will also be a digital music download service. Looks like Dell is also joining Apple in the consumer products category."

I don't want to start a holy war here, but I need to vent guys and here I hope I find sympathy! I HATE NETCRAFT! *BSD is dying
Yet another cripping bombshell hit my beleaguered TiBook as I spent the good part of five hours helping a friend at his freelance gig while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder on less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. 5 hours. The amazing thing is at home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this MAC, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. This serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Now, I got the job to fix this as I'm the "Computer Guy" and can generally help friends and family with there computer problems. I have never seen such a tragedy as the titanum powerbook! It is collapsing in complete disarray as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
In addition, The hand writing is on the wall; during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, straining to keep up as I type this, having lost 93% of its core developers.
OpenBSD leader Theo won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. MacOS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this TiBook at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine. A recent article put the TiBook at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 TiBook users.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems. MacOS is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
I don't, I really don't, see how Apple can claim to be tops in design. Even my A600 continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, My TiBook is dying.
Fact: TiBooks running BSD at a Freelance gig are dying.

Comrades of the PFY have reported that she constantly craved for Arab cocks and that all their efforts to satisfy her with their black Negro-rods led nowhere.
"She just kept screaming for some Abu to fuck her white slut crotch," Malik Brown Jr., her former squad leader, reported to the newspaper (Voice Of Indifference) of her home-base.
I am sure the whole Slashdot community wishes our national heroine the best; she truly is an American idle.
Considering Dell has $35 Billion in annual sales compared to Apples $1.5 billion, I think you may want to reconsider who is having more success right now.
I forgot, just mention Apple in good terms and get +5 insightful.
