You would have to admit the element of speed helped contribute to Princess Di's death. If she was in a car that had a regulated speed chances are she would still be alive.
If she had been wearing a seatbelt then she may have survived like the guy in the front seat instead of being turned into a pancake from the sudden stop. Stupid woman.
2 things:
1. Anyone who labels themselves an audiophile is usually a wanker...
2. You call yourself an audiophile (see point 1), yet you still listen to MP3s. The compression makes them sound better to you, right? Most of my ripped albums are in the region of 90-95 megs, it would be impossible to fit 3 of them into 256 megs, let alone alone adding a few big audiobooks as well.
If you are looking for a very portable player that lasts for ages on it's batteries this is an ok choice. Add in the crappy bud earphones and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 128 kbps and 192 kbps MP3 anyway...
Hey fuckwit, there are some of us not in the US and many DVDs have never been released in other regions. Primary example, the old Disney movie 'Something Wicked This Way Comes', unable to get in anything other than region 1 the last time I checked. I could be wrong now though...
Stating the obvious, reminds me of a brilliant piece of comedy...
Television Host (Graham Chapman): Good evening. Tonight - dinosaurs. I have here sitting in the studio next to me an elk. Aaagghhhh! Oh, I'm sorry, Anne Elk, Mrs Anne Elk. Miss Elk (John Cleese, as a very prim lady): Miss. Host: Miss Anne Elk, who is an expert on the... Elk: No, no, no, Anne Elk. Host: What? Elk: Anne Elk, not Anne Expert. Host: No, no, I was saying that you, Miss Elk, were an, A.N. not A.N.N.E., expert... Elk: Oh! Host:...on elks - I'm sorry, on dinosaurs. Elk: Yes, I certainly am, Chris, how very true, my word yes! Host: Now, Miss Elk - Anne - you have a new theory about the brontosaurus. Elk: Could I just say, Chris, for one moment that I have a new theory about the brontosaurus? Host: Er... exactly. What is it? Elk: Where? Host: No, no, no. What is your theory? Elk: Oh, what is my theory? Host: Yes. Elk: Oh what is my theory, that it is. Yes, well you may well ask, what is my theory. Host: (slightly impatient) I am asking. Elk: And well you may. Yes my word you may well ask what it is, this theory of mine. Well, this theory that I have--that is to say, which is mine--...is mine. Host: (more impatient) I know it's yours. What is it? Elk: Where? Oh, what is my theory? Host: Yes! Elk: Oh, my theory that I have follows the lines I am about to relate. (Coughs) Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Host: Oh God. Elk: Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. [Impatient noises from Host] The Theory, by A. Elk. That's A for Anne, it's not by a elk. Host: Right.... Elk: This theory which belongs to me is as follows. Ahem. Ahem. This is how it goes. Ahem. The next thing that I am about to say is my theory. Ahem. Ready? (Host moans) Elk: The Theory by A. Elk brackets Miss brackets. My theory is along the following lines. Host: Oh God. Elk: All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much MUCH thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine, and what it is too. Host: That's it, is it? Elk: Right, Chris. Host: Well, Anne, this theory of yours seems to have hit the nail on the head. Elk: And it's mine. Host: (ironical) Thank you for coming along to the studio. Elk: My pleasure, Chris. Host: Er...Britain's newest wasp farm... Elk: It's been a lot of fun. Host:...opened last week... Elk: Saying what my theory is. Host: Yes, thank you. Elk: And whose it is. Host: Yes....opened last week... Elk: I have another theory. Host: Not today, thank you. Elk: My theory number two, which is the second theory that I have. Ahem! This theory... Host: Oh look...shut up! Elk:...is what I am about to say... Host: Oh please shut up! Elk:...which, with what I have said, are the two theories that are mine and belong to me. Host: Look, if you don't shut up I shall shoot you. Elk: Ahem! My brace of theories, which I possess the ownership of, which belongs to me... (BANG!) (Pause) Elk: Ahem. The Theory the Second by Anne... (MACHINE GUN FIRE)
"This is a travesty to the legal system," complains E. Michael "Spike" Goldberg, chief executive officer of the company that owns HomeGrownVideo.com, a site featuring amateurs performing various sex acts in their homes and other creative locales. "They've made a business model out of a loophole," he says of the broadness of Acacia's patent claim. "It's like they're trying to patent breathing."

I like how you said 'most slashdot readers'. Where do the others fit in? homo-dickus
If you truly want to be worm-free, the same advice goes for all E-mail clients: Be well-informed, and update often.

Or don't connect to the internet... Some people forget that it is a real option, maybe not for slashdotters though
I would be more than happy to pay $150 so I didn't have to use WordPerfect. The bonus is you get Excel too.

The fact that the Aussie dollar has been gaining against other currencies (mainly the US$) lately has been lost on you, hasn't it?
The AU$ has increased in value by 20% in the last 12 months or so.
That book of his is going to be a great read with the grammar/spelling he uses...
Performing a query for 'drive' on reference.com, I found the following definition:
:)
Computer Science. A device that reads data from and often writes data onto a storage medium, such as a floppy disk.
I would say this watch qualifies as a drive.
Quit holding onto those archaic ideas
