well, i voted green after all. scary how even the libertarians beat them out for votes here. i guess the green/nader split was the problem.
it's not that i'm swayed by conservatives to not like kerry...he's too moderate for my tastes! hah.
i voted for dennis kucinich in the dem. primary, if that explains anything.
I'm voting tomorrow, but unfortunately, I still can't decide between putting my vote with David Cobb and the Green Party, or with Ralph Nader.
Somebody help me.
I am leaning Green, mostly because my vote may help an actually established party get closer to that 5% minimum...
My heavily Democrap district in my heavily Democrat state is already going to Kerry, so it's not like I'm "spoiling" the election for a candidate I don't really like very much at all, anyway...
this could bring back the use of this exploit for record companies, etc...probably a lot easier for them, so long as everyone's going to switch over to the new format.
still, nice idea. i keep all my cd's in wallets, and even so, a favorite cd of mine got two tremendous gouges in it...
i assume it will also be a double-side coating, because i have lost cd's when there is a scratch on the label side, or if some of the foil came off, which tends to be worse than a minor scratch on the data side.
You're spending time before your honeymoon on Slashdot?
You're spending time before your honeymoon on A COMPUTER?!?
but good idea for the honemoon. have fun, and don't spend so much time on teh intarweb...
We need more people in government who aren't democrats and republicans, for starters...and her take on interweb things shoud already be enough to make you vote for her.
"but OH NOS SHE SI A CONSERVATIVE" shut up, hippy fuck. get a real job.
despite the fact that the guardian article is from march, this is actually from before even then, if i'm not totally mistaken...why all of a sudden is it of such import now?
The article, was, strangely enough, written on a Mac website. It was designed to garner more support for the iPod by focusing on the "failings" of Toshiba in making a quality product.
Also, the weight of a few grams, even a few hundred grams, is of NO FUCKING CONSEQUENCE TO MOST HUMANS.
The same goes for the increase in the size of the unit by ONE CENTIMETER. The decrease in screen size: "...slightly smaller..."
Hmm. Ok, so now it's just totally unusable because it's a 5mm (conjecture, not like it matters) size difference!
The Toshiba uses a standardized PC card slot, which uses PC Card hard drives. It's a good interface, and lets you easily swap out disks, or use a CF adaptor and use other memory types.
The screen and backlight looks very good in that picture. I dont see your cause for complaint.
I admit that the firewire charging is a nice feature of the iPod, but you're not always going to be around a computer, and an ac adaptor is probably much easier to carry around than a laptop and its repsective adaptor. We don't even know the details of this yet, so it can't be aruged well.
I would assume that toshiba knows what is up and went with at least a rechargable battery system.
Clownboat karma whore.
The Internet was designed to be an open system. Putting a big part of it like ICANN under the control of the government of just one country is wrong. The US govenment, or the government of any country, should not have exclusive jurisdiction over the Internet.
Why is the US government taking it upon itself to regulate such things? The Internet is not the property of the United States. It belongs to the entire world, and it should be operated at the very least by the entire international community.

unless of course, the scratch on the plastic side is deep enough.
i always hated how cheap cdr discs tended to have the foil flake off...
