I'm not going to be the one to troll you. I think that, in our own way, the Slashdot community is trying to provide a commentary on the situation. We know how breakable the iPod is. We have seen the stories and heard more anecdotes then I can count to attest to that.
Yes, the community is not the most eloquent at times, but hell, if you want that go read the New Yorker or some such. This is Slashdot, you will get what you will get and people will express their opinions in their own colorful way.
I wonder if this will mean new HD-DVD players and a whole new format way on the horizon. I get tired of this crap. This is why I'm waiting until one format to emerge, even if it takes another two years. Then I will go about buying a new DVD player and tv to support it.
While I understand your point, thats not really the issue here. The problem is the govt is so freaking corrupt when it comes to contracts that they award a contract for an extremely incompatible program.
I know, some will scream at me that "most" people have Windows so its "not a big deal", but just the fact that you are not required to have windows to get a grant is just not right.
One day pork-barrel politics and favoritism with end... an of course one day pigs will fly too.

To paraphrase Bender: Have you ever tried turning off the computer, sitting down with your children, and hitting them...

Thus endith the rant.

This deserves at least a +1 insightful.
