  1. Re:When will somebody manufacture on e.Digital Promises Another iPod Competitor · · Score: 1

    Well you can get driveless units now for two hundred and change. The only caveat is you have to use a Toshiba GAP/MAP drive due to the power requirements. So another $150 for a 40 gig (60 gig is in the offing). Now for about $350, you can drag around ~650 hrs worth of music.

    Yeah, I'd like it to be under a hundred bucks to. I'd also like a fully loaded Ford F250 Crew Cab for the price of a Toyota Echo.....and the mileage to boot.

    Fine with me, but only if you get permission to be a pompous windbag.

    Enron-esque style auditing? So is anyone surprised that a bunch of florida-tards who can't figure out the complicated process of punch cards is now stymied by the equivalent of an ATM machine?

    We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans! With a capital "A," huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world!

  8. Re:Escape from Silicon Valley on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 1

    You got Upstate New York, which is everything above NYC. Then you got Western NY, which is everything west of Albany. And then there is Northern NY, aka Gods Country, which is the vast economic backwaters north of the Syracuse - Albany line.

    I live in a little podunk village of 2000 (which swells to 7000 when the SUNY college and St Lawrence University are in session). I work for a Fortune 100 company whose plant is 12 miles outside of town. My commute is 15 minutes and one traffic lite. If I hit the lite before 7 am, its on flashing caution, total commute is 15 minutes tops. Sometimes I have to stop at the dairy cow crossing.

    I can see OSHA winding up the "rule o meter" now. Its even better when you get fucktard safety engineers who go overboard to avoid potential OSHA violations.

    Last year (I shit you not), we were required to remove and remount all power strips. Said power strips were to be mounted upside down, that is with the outlets pointing down. Just in case some body dropped something, or spilled something, stuck thier foot in it.

    One benefit to a slowing economy, safety tards are the first to go, leaving us to use our common sense.
