elinenbe writes "The Linux on iPod Project has just crossed a milestone. Currently their firmware works on all ipod models other then the new mini. Sound plays and for many people it has more features then the original iPod firmware!"

    The ability to run Emacs is not a feature. I'd rather be using edlin on MS-DOS 2.11 than install emacs on my machine.

    iRiver iHP-140 (40 GB)

    iRiver iHP-120 (20 GB)

    Supports OGG, built in mic, optical out, mounts as a USB portable harddrive under linux (I use rsync to update my tunes), size and weight versus iPod are moot, and it's a nice black and silver instead of a (*ducks*) feminine white.

    I love you man. I have said that *1000* times and been moded a troll every last time. Apple can only do the things Apple does because THEY ARE APPLE. In a post where I was modded a troll, I said "Only Nixon can go to China" and "Only Apple can sell consumer electronics at 135% of market value."

    People who buy Apples are the same irrational fanboys that line up to see LOTR a week early, soupe up their hondas with R-Type stickers, or dragon ball z fans. Except, Apple fanboys are more intelligent and they know it. , They consider themselves to be the enlightened ones, the elite, the vanguard. But we know :)

    I am a biker. I just don't ride a harley. Mainly because I don't ever want to be associated with harley riders. Also because I don't have any tatoos, have a wardrobe that is not dominated by some corporation's logo, and don't have any racist attitudes about the japanese.

    If they were really nice people they would not get the loudest bike on the market and ride it when people are settled in for the night.

    There is a reason why harleys are loud. People who buy harleys want the loudest most obnoxious bike on the market because they believe it makes them macho and impresses the girls (as the parent poster stated). For some reason the obnoxiously loud sound a harley makes is comforting to them and they don't give a fuck about anybody else who might be near.

    Compare your typical BMW rider to your typical harley rider and see which one is polite and nice. Both bikes cost about the same and yet a completely different class of people ride them.

    Why do you think that is?
