Linux for iPod Matures

woo troll post.
Linux on iPod? Pfft. Can we just knock every comment down to -1 as it gets posted? ;)
Why would anyone do this? Everyone knows that Linux is in fact dying.
A programmer is a machine for converting coffee into code.
Donald Duck is going to have a SQUIRMING SCREAMING ORGASM when he gets this Linux iPod set up for himself. He loves to use it to listen to past "experiences" with Daisy Duck when she isn't around to keep him happy.
Does it run linsux ?
You wouldn't tell a joke like that in real life - not even at a Linux Users Group. Furthermore, his assertion is poorly articulated. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a "karma-whoring" attempt.
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.
:wq! to agree, ^C-M-TV-VH-1-S-A_Q to disagree with the current buffer and open a new videoconference.

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.
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?
