That's some semi-decent hardware for $199. If the phantom does indeed come out with these specs and price, won't people just take em apart for the guts?
Does anyone actually need more than 100 songs on a portable music player?
Us music junkies. I listen to everything from Trip Hop to Metal and everything in between (well,except Polka, Teen Pop and New Country.) Maybe you should expand your horizons. Good new music is hard to find, I'll grant, but it is out there.
Damn Straight. I can easily have 30+ tabs open on Mozilla at one time. Granted, not for days, but my Athlon 2500/512DDR RAM handles it easily enough, even while running Photoshop and other apps at the same time.
And that's why I frequent servers without panzers. That way, even if (god forbid) we're being spawn camped, I can head out and meet like for like. It's the only part of ET that wasn't balanced out properly, IMO.
Besides, have you seen the average panzerwhore? He usually blows himself up in the process of a kill, which is a crappy ratio if you ask me. Not to mention thay're practically useless between shots, running around with their little pistol. Give me engies, medics and fops any day.
He might be a little strident, but he's willing to educate and help people. Contrast this with AV and Firewall companies who are simply content to ram their products down your throat.
But wait, blue light DVDs are right around the corner. It will never end.
Well, yes, but every so often, a format comes along that works, is cheap, and enjoys widespread use and support. CDs were the last one. Eventually, the multiplicity of DVD options will coalesce around one of them. After that, we can bitch about the next gen of data storage here on Slashdot.
Let's see, Hamas blew up an American student at a Tel Aviv university, as well as group of officials in Gaza that were there to find Palestinian Fulbright scholars, not to mention hundreds of Israel civilians including infants, women, and children.
And don't respond that "Israel kills Palestinians too" - the difference being that Israel doesn't intentionally target civilians while Hamas, Hizb'allah, the al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, and the other Palestinian terrorist organizations do.
I wont.
I'm not defending anybody here. Like in many other places in the world, it's one dogmatic ideology fighting another. Fucking pointless and childish. The link I posted was to show evidence that you can dislike the state of Israel and its policies without being anti-semitic. I support none of the participants in this or any similar affair.
This is the 21st century. Grow up and deal with it like adults.
You're still missing the damn point. His post was about Israelis and the Israeli state and their actions. You're equating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism, which is freaking ridiculous.
Go back. READ THE POST. PAY ATTENTION. THERE WILL BE A TEST LATER
I'm with you, I think Bobby Shaftoe is one of the greatest characters ever created, and despite the Waterhouse sections being fascinating, the Shaftoe portions of Cryptonomicon are my favorite.
Hell, I'm halfway through my second go on the book.
If you're intelligent and hard-working, this will probably be a plus rather than a minus if/when it comes to hitting the career path later.
One way to think about it: You'll always think "what if?" if you don't, whereas if you do, you'll have some pretty cool experiences. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

Yeah, with a maximum capacity of 512MB, it's gonna take ages...
Speaking of which, is there even a market for sub-GB mp3 players these days? Even at 128kbps, that's only about a 100 songs.
I can't seem to find one...apparently they're another ship.
Now, my Celeron 1.2 on the other hand...
...opensecrets.org, a good website that lets you know who's holding the leash on your favorite politician.
A real buddy wouldn't do that. What a tease.
This is Slashdot. If your network machine goes offline a lot, you're doing something wrong!
As I mentioned before, dumb storage for GBs of tunes is cheap and easy as long as you use win2k or one of the mainstream Linux distros.
Then again, enclosed Firewire drives seem to be the way to go if you have a little more cash, but I prefer using a big beige box, it's soooo stylish!
That is shared music. One machine with the mp3s. all the others with playlists. That's how I do it at my house.

IMO, we need more guys like him.

Additionally, Israel is as much to blame as anybody else for the situation there. For example, I don't see the PLO bulldozing American civilians.
Didn't try very hard, did you? :)
mediocre comment + mediocre spelling = first post.
Hell, I'm halfway through my second go on the book.
I didn't know Neville Chamberlain was still alive and working in IT.
Yeah, but it's a powerful opponent to homogeneity.
Yeah, but that's negated by the moronic asshole factor.
Yeah, I've used those. God forbid the sun should be directly behind you, or you wouldn't be able to see squat: "Is that 50 or 500?"
Haven't I seen that on a bumper sticker somewhere?
