Stop making incompetence a virtue. For reference try "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand.
To flamers: Please note that I don't claim that Rand's philosophy is perfect. Her cultural critiques are, however, germane to the topic.
Maybe he should get on a passenger airliner. I fly 2-4 times a month, and even back in coach I could probably count the number of people that don't have Treos, CrackBerries, or iPhones on both hands. On a plane that probably holds 120-200 people.
"Believe me, I have NO doubt you will buy many more Apple products in the future."
Probably, because they've worked pretty well for me. However, I won't be buying Apple because I'm locked in to iTunes - I haven't bought any music from there since JHymn stopped working. I wish they would have just let JHymn slide and not changed the encryption scheme repeatedly, but I doubt the music industry would have been too happy about that.
That's funny, because every time I've bought Apple, starting about 7 years ago, as the days go by I keep realizing what a good idea the purchase was.
As plenty of others have pointed out, you can put MP3s on iPods, and there are plenty of legitimate places to get those. As far as interoperability goes, Apple does a lot better than MS, although maybe not quite as well as the various Linux distros and programs.
Me too! Just yesterday I tried running it in Wine, with very limited success. I love having it on my powerbook but my desktop (with Linux) is much more powerful, Google Earth runs nice and smoothly on it now!
I went to Niger this summer, where I was even out of range of the nearest cell tower, had no electricity, and was surrounded by goats and chickens. I spent two weeks without most of the technology I'm used to, and that's a lot of technology.
You know what? I didn't mind one bit. No withdrawl symptoms. Strand me in a city in the US though, and I'd start to feel the pain. It seems like it's partly a function of the environment.

I got a real LOL out of that too -- thanks!
Oh if only I had mod points. Effing brilliant!
Uh oh, better keep an eye on my bandwidth allocation. (That's my site)
She does have something of an obsession with non-consensual sex.

There's also FlowPlayer, though you'll need to host it somewhere.

"Data recovered from a 400MB Seagate hard drive carried on the Space Shuttle Columbia has ..."
Please. Data have been recovered.
Touché!
I got a good chuckle out of that -- thanks!
After more research, I've decided this is not the same South Baldy Peak in New Mexico. Never mind.
If I'm not mistaken that mountain is in the Philmont Scout Reservation. Surely there must be other slashdotters that have climbed it. Yes?

The test already exists. Just hack it into AOL's outbound firewalls and we're good to go.

Next you're going to tell me it's possible to talk about Linux without mentioning Microsoft at all.

Maybe now Rainbow Six will actually be playable because one's teammates won't always do stupid stuff and die (or get stuck in a corner).

Good god, what kind of car do you drive? If that were my car it would be nearly 300 miles round-trip.
I did have to drive a bit to see Serenity, but 150 miles? Wow.
This is going to spark the flamewar that burns down Slashdot.
