Slashdot Mirror


Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players?

Steve Andre' asks: " Given the approaching season, I'm wondering if many have used and have opinions about the new Ogg Vorbis capable portable players out there. What I'd like to find is at least a CD/MP3/Ogg capable player which sounds good and doesn't do 'odd' things. What's it like out there? Can I finally roast my Ogg files and take them with me for a walk?"

    Yeah, sure, you make a legitimate complaint about Slashdot comments, but tell me, does your post have hot grits or Natalie Portman in it?

    Thought not.

  6. Re:The current state of Linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Don't go there, I just spent the last six hours cleaning out a windows 2000 machine. 31 virus, 500 connections to a Japanese bank, key loggers, and reconfiguring all those "helpful" tools Microsoft is so nice to give us. GPL'ed tools helped detect the virus, protect the target, and clean the system (though, it was an M$ update which replaced the infected files and saved our ass cuz there's no 2000 cd). 2000 is slower then linux, 2000 is harder to manage, harder to maintain and harder to clean after a compromise...

    What are you suppose to do if you find something like this, contact the bank and let them know? What about the cops?

    I wish there was a way for me, as a Christian, as a human being, to sit down with some of you and have a pleasant, civil discussion without bitterness or sarcasm. I don't force people to believe what I believe. I don't mock others with different beliefs. I hope I can find the words to explain myself, as my life goes on. I hope I can help people to see.

  11. Grandparent NOT a repost by RobertB-DC · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I got this one in M2. It's not a repost! Parent (grandparent, now) has an earlier timestamp than the AC copy. The big tipoff is when the AC includes the original's .sig. Duh!

    * On further examination, the comment I've been asked to M2 is the brother of this post. It's not "Informative" 'cause it's wrong.
