Rio Karma 20GB Reviewed

asv108 writes "The Rio Karma has been out on the market for over a month now with very little mainstream press. Slashdot covered the product announcement back in August for one of the first mainstream devices that supports OGG and FLAC playback. I've posted a little review of the 20 GB Rio Karma, which, besides OGG/FLAC/MP3/WMA playback, has a great little dock that syncs the player via ethernet. One little known gem is that this player comes with java-based software that allows users to download the software directly from the player via any browser and sync the Karma with Linux, Mac OS X, and any other OS that Java runs on."

Re:Cheaper price

Amazon has it for $125 right now.

That's got to be a typo too. But Amazon, in general, honors misprints. Get it while it's hot.

From the alt.religeon.computers Faq:

Is Windows an operating system?
Microsoft says Windows is an operating system, but they also said that OS/2 was the most important operating system in the history of computing. It doesn't matter what they call it, since everyone buys it anyway.

Linux users say that Windows isn't an operating system, but they also tend to hold the position that UNIX based systems are a better substitute for more people, and that programmers should give up all monetary aspirations and live as hermits. It's easy to hold those views when mommy and daddy are paying for MIT. Note: As of 1999 it is now even easier to hold these views when the public capital markets are picking up the tab.

Re:Why No AAC?

[Anonymous Coward]

shut up you dipshit Mac zealot

Apple is just another anal company that wants to DRM everything and AAC is their medium in which to do so

if there is one thing I hate more than stupidity itself is stupid mac users

Built-in = dumbass

[quinkin]

So you haven't had any compatability problems between manufacturers?

So you don't mind paying for unwanted functionality that will be used by 5% of purchasers?

What would be nice would be a set of bluetooth idiot detectors so that a wire from the car battery to your testicles wasn't necessary.

WARNING - GOATSE AND TUBGIRL IMAGES

[Anonymous Coward]

ack! good thing I backed out of that webpage really fast.

those are some really nasty images you do NOT want to see

Re:why no AAC?

[Anonymous Coward]

Same reason Apple doesn't support WMA, OGG, FLAC, or WAV. Oh wait, it's not the same reason, Rio aren't elitist assholes trying to push their overpriced fingerprint display machines with audio formats that don't make sense to anyone other than Apple zealots.

9 steps to greasing your anus for Yoda Doll Insertion!
v 3.70.0
$YodaBSD: src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/yodanotes/9_step_p rocess.sgml,v 3.70.0 2003/11/24 20:30:25 tsarkon Exp $

1. Defecate. Preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage, pickled eggs, and Vietnamese chili garlic sauce. Could be done in the Return of the Jedi wastebasket for added pleasure.
2. Wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns. (Taco can use Hazel on mouth to soothe the horrific burns from chowing on ass so much).
3. Prime anus with anal ease. (Now Cherry Flavored for those butthole lickers amongst you - oh, that is most of /.)
4. Slather richly a considerable amount of Vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your Yoda Doll , Yoda Shampoo bottle or Yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.
5. Pucker your balloon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in.
6. Put a nigger do-rag on Yoda's head so the ears don't stick out like daggers!
7. Make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.
8. Slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine. Be careful, he's big.
9. Gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Think about snoodling with the Sarlaac pit. Read Slashdot. Masturbate to anime. Email one of the editors hoping they will honor you with a reply. Join several more dating services - this time, you dont check the (desired - speaks english) and (desired - literate). You figure you might get a chance then. Order some fucking crap from Think Geek. Get Linux to boot on a Black And Decker Appliance. Wish you could afford a new computer. Argue that IDE is better than SCSI because you cant afford SCSI. Make claims about how Linux rules. Compile a kernel on your 486SX. Claim to hate windows but use it for Everquest. Admire Ghyslain's courage in making that wonderful star wars movie. Officially convert to the Jedi religion. Talk about how cool Mega Tokyo is. Try and make sure you do your regular 50 story submissions to Slashdot, all of which get rejected because people who arent fatter than CowboyNeal can't submit. Fondle shrimpy penis while making a yoda voice and saying, use the force, padawan, feeel the foooorce, hurgm. Yes. Yes. When 900 years you reach, a dick half as big you will not have.

All in a days work with a yoda figurine rammed up your ass.

I HAVE A GREASED UP YODA DOLL SHOVED UP MY ASS!

The larger majority of people, not you yourself, of course, don't notice the use of multiple redundancy in text.

Proofreading is usefully handy though, eh?
