What the hell?

To a what? To award? To a degree? I don't know which is worse: duped stories or incomplete stories with no links. I know, the rest of the story is to be supplied in the dupe!

What has the editors of /. come to when they can't even post a complete story?
Hey OSTG! I'll be a Slashdot editor! I wouldn't mind posting news worthy stories in my spare time. Certainly better than what we have now. Instead of Google's latest update, I'll post real stories. Stories such as:

• Hackers steal your phones to ring up bills
• New improved spyware tactics that behave like trojans
• Latest court rulings on hackers who use keyloggers
• Huge ID Theft Ring Affects at least 50 banks
  
  

If not me, than at least someone who can do a real editors job. I do believe I'm not going to renew my subscription if this kind of crap keeps on. With all do respect Taco, Slashdot use to be a great site, but now all it is good for is the latest $MARKETER plug with an occasional news story to keep us coming back.

Oh, and EMAILING THE EDITOR SEEMS TO HAVE NO FUCKING AFFECT

Are itunes songs acoustically altered?

[rufusdufus]

A friend has a huge database of songs he bought from iTunes and they all sound a little off to me. I thought it was the speakers, or the equalizer at first.
But then I did a comparison of songs I had aquired by other means, and there is a definite difference in the sound quality; the itunes songs sound annoying (its hard to pin down exactly why, but its akin to sounding tinny).
I even converted my songs to the itunes format thinking the format was the issue. But they still sound good, while the downloaded songs he downloaded on itunes still sound bad.
Am I on crack or has anyone else noticed this?

Offtopic?

[wasted time]

Hmmm, a question about iTunes gets posted in a story about iTunes and that question gets modded offtopic.

Me thinks the modds are the ones on crack.
