Right, because the Dune series never made any mention of religion...
Scintillating plastics have been around for quite a while...I'm wondering why only now someone has developed this...maybe an issue of cost or maybe some strength problems?
I'm not huge into OGG files simply because of momentum (it would take me a really long time to re-rip all of my CDs and OGG them). But I would really like to see OGG support just for the fact that it would make a great product even better. I

On December 31, 1996, AT&T Global Information Solutions (which was originally known as NCR) was spun off from AT&T into an independent company known as NCR Corp. For information about NCR's products and services, visit the NCR website.
Having just purchased an iRiver mp3 cd player (due to the fact that I have a large number of mp3 cds for bringing to work) I don't think I'll be switching to OGG anytime soon. Now maybe, someday iRiver will have a firmware update to support OGG but until then, it's mp3 all the way.

What about the millions this school is going to have to pay for bandwidth after this slashdotting? :)
I've loved my iRiver since I've purchased it.

The judge handed down a $18K judgement and they settle for $1000???
Sorry but someone must have inked "moron" on their foreheads...
They are not (and probably never will be) available in the US. In England they're all over and they make perfect sense.
The British car magazine "Car" imported one to the US and drove it across the country. They spent $80 on gas going from NY to LA.

You mean, aside from all the biographys written about him, the published letters to his children, the secret FBI file kept about him, etc etc.
