The Karma is the ONLY HD based player which does gapless playback properly. It's the main reason I have one (and would never buy an iPod).
wrong. the archos jukebox with the free, open source rockbox firmware has supported gapless playback for years.
apple and most car mp3 head unit manufacturers can't figure this out. it is a show stopper for me.
the archos doesn't have a problem with not turning off - the opposite, it turns off unexpectedly sometimes. similar problem, but doesn't require smacking it hard enought to interrupt power (holy shit show stopper).
dunno why you have a high turnover on the hardware. sounds like the spec is pretty solid. you should just find somehting that works and stick with it. perhaps figure out where they OEM it from and get quantity straight from the manufacturer.
you should solve the sampling at the device and not postprocess. there is the privacy issue, and the operating cost of 18 hours of continuous recording.
ever seen an archos recorder running rockbox? would take little effort to make the code that runs on the archos to do the random sampling. has a built in mic, an mp3 ASIC, an SH1 processor, and a hard drive.

heresy, i know, but if anyone knows of a shop that does a TWO mouse button mod for a powerbook, please let us know.
i really like apple's laptops but the single mouse button is the insurmountable barrier to entry. if i could get two mouse buttons a powerbook would be my next machine.
ipods are only expensive if you are foolish enough to pay full retail for bleeding edge - granted, that's most of the mac zealot market.
but for the rest of us, $170 for a refurb 2nd gen 10gb is not expensive. i paid that at retail for my archos recorder 15gb. i feel i got a better deal cuz it records, it's a usb2 HD, i can _easily_ upgrade the batteries (or carry spares), and i hack on and compile my os (rockbox). i can even rock that weak chicago font if i'm feeling nostalgic.
considering the chances of breaking or loosing a portable player i can't see why any price conscious person would not buy ipod refurb, especially considering it's first party apple refurb.
for the adventurous, get a used archos and upgrade to an 80gb drive. about $200 parts and smarts.
and yeah, jogging is really bad for you, ask your doctor. ``so don't do that''
Perens, that's lame - some phoney baloney excuse about corporate sponsorship when you know full well it was never possible in the first place.
as if we didn't know. DVD REGION PROTECTION IS UNBREAKABLE! mark yourselves -1 TrollBait if you thought he was actually going to go through with this. everyone knows that dvd region coding is right up there with the speed of light.
ah, Perens, subtle! you've clearly illustrated the absurdity of a law against the impossible. you would have publicly demonstrated the impossible, but it's against the law.
i guess we'll never know what crazy scheme you dreamed up for circumventing dvd region coding, or FTL travel for that matter. and you'll never tell, since even discussing it is against the law!
oh who cares. i gave up on moz a long time ago. i really like opera, but more and more i'm just using IE. right now i'm using IE on osX and it's pretty nice.
first, you should plan to complete a bachelor degree at some time. they're easy, but time consuming.
first leverage whatever tech skills you have to get some certifications. if you can nail some basic solaris admin or cisco certs, you can $$MAKE MONEY FA$T!!$$ - this is key, because instead of embarking on a career, you should jack around. live cheap and save, take the money and run, go travel. find yourself somewhere interesting and get some work. overseas it is pretty easy to get paid enough under the table to hang out in some exotic locale, working, living, digging the universe.
when you've had enough, go back home and go to school. obhack: create and maintain residency in the state of your desired school while you are away - you blew your fast cash on airfare and beer, so in-state tuition is key. suck it up and get into some comfy student debt. ideally you are a well rounded creative thinker, so try to avoid any CS major. you need any bachelor degree, pick something interesting.
world weary, experienced, degree in hand, embark upon a career. family in here somewhere, can't help you there.
good luck, force be with you, eyes up, wind at your back, no wooden nickles,/etc/*.
Apple ][e with a z80 coprocessor card, 80 column card with +64k, a super serial card, two count em two fdds, boy howdy that was a monster. my mom ran wordstar, i hacked on cp/m and squandered my youth to bbs and sierra games.
years later when i finally got a chance to use dos, i thought hey, this is just like cp/m! little did i know.
okay so the whole stem cell thingy was tough, being a unificator it's hard to come to terms with cell division.
phew. i need some down time at the ranch.
okay, now about campaign promises, Karl, i'm not a divisioneer! breaking up is hard too due! i do know that my brows're gettin furroughlated just thinking about it. my daddy says monobrows bad, bushy brows good. Karl? do you see what i am saying?
we are all consumers and producers, some of us are citizens. a rare few are the common man. or perhaps you are a believer in corporate homogenity, that we are, the world over, subjects of a united megacorp. in that case please amend your list with victim at the top.
the EFF does great work. if you don't like it, don't send them money. meanwhile, don't waste my donation with your semantic hairsplitting tripe.

i'm sure other story submitters don't confuse host security with net security.
perhaps slashdot editors don't know that there is a difference.

you're getting warmer! and not just because you have a laptop on your lap.
two button mouse - if you are unsure what i am referring to, look at a laptop not made by apple.
btw: the topic is powerbook case mods.

so, uh, itunes pc doesn't work with your hardware, so, uuuhhhh,
so don't do that.
as increadible as it may seem, sometimes newer software doesn't work with older hardware.
that cnet arkle is a stinkin' troller!

methinks you prefer sleeping.

imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!
it really deserves a second linking, www.r3mix.net is the difinitive source for the developing area of music archival on mp3.
it's pretty obvious w/o even reading the arkle that the 'test' is garbage.
before you get hot and bothered about lossy codecs for archival, check it out. it works in Real Life(tm).

good thing the men in black are avid readers of slashdot. rumor has it they're wrestling with this very issue now.
