  1. Re:For all of you griping about Apple's DRM on Apple Is Now the #1 US Music Retailer · · Score: 1

    a set of sleevenotes to read on the toilet

    You have an odd set of requirements for recorded music.

  2. Re:Correlation and Conjecture on Apple Is Now the #1 US Music Retailer · · Score: 1

    Good call. That whole profit thing doesn't guarantee longevity. They should get out of the game now!

  3. Re:damned Apple apologists on Apple Is Now the #1 US Music Retailer · · Score: 1

    It is Apple's best interest to sell music that can only be played on their portable.

    Stop it. Answer the question: how do you explain that they sell DRM-free music? These are DRM-free AACs, playable on any music player sold today.

  4. Re:What kind of research did they do? on How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong · · Score: 1

    Wait, how was it correct? You just said all MP3 players play AACs, and he said that your iTunes are locked in to iPods. I must be missing something here.

  5. Re:What a silly article on How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong · · Score: 1

    DAMP is the preferred nomenclature (D for Darwin).

    I think that might qualify as "middle". :-)

    Hey, you ought to know. Cock is apparently your specialty. Right?

    "Oh, no! He corrected someone's grammar! Whatever shall I do?!"

  9. Re:Oh my god! on Apple Release Mega Patch to Fix 19 Flaws · · Score: 1

    Yes, Microsoft should be bashed for its security issues. Absofuckinglutely. You bet. Their widespread security negligence is dangerous and irresponsible. Especially since with each patch more holes are found.

    Then there's those theoretical exploits in the Mac OS that Apple has taken care of.

    Oh, yes, same thing. Totally. Your logic is FLAWLESS.

  10. Re:article missing on Apple Release Mega Patch to Fix 19 Flaws · · Score: 1

    Yeah, imagine that. A corporation which touts its security measures while selling the least secure OS on the market gets "sideways remarks!" Heaven forfend! And then you come to their defense like a good little puppy.

    Poor Microsoft. I'm sure they mean well.

    Ah, yes, another troll who cannot tell the difference between THEORY and REALITY.

    I bet you grumble at umbrella owners when it rains.

    Software Update is a system tool.

    Okay, dude, that was unnecessary.

    Kidding! Kidding!

    Uh, hello? It's *Slashdot*. That's what we do here. ;-)

  15. Re:From a former iPod, current Rio owner... on Rio Reveals iPod Mini Slayer · · Score: 1

    That is what really bothers me the most about the Apple and Sony products. The insistance on forcing you to adhere to their proprietary standards.

    Huh? You cannot use more than one file format on the iPod?

    MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF... all work fine on the iPod.

  16. Re:The only spoiler I want to know... on Footage From Star Wars: Episode III · · Score: 1

    Aw, you ruined the movie for me. :-(

    Maybe the problem is that they don't want to, and he doesn't like being ignored.

    Poor, poor anonymous coward.

    1. All us Mac users are homosexual? My girlfriend will be upset when she hears about this.

    2. Your research for this lies.. *where*, exactly?

    3. If I am a "flaming faggot," and you (bviously) hate "flaming faggots," then why do you browse your way to Mac-related stories on Slashdot and post (anonymously, of course)? Are you "cruising"? Is that it?

    And, by the way, BRILLIANT use of ALL CAPS to make your point.

  19. Re:My Mac Sucks on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 2 · · Score: 1, Informative

    I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM)

    Um... you're not serious, asre you? You're using a Mac from 1997 and you're complaining about performance?

    Even Safari is straining to keep up as I type this

    You're not going to actually try to convince us you're running OS X on that machine, are you? OS X can only be run on USB-equipped Macs.

    Obviously a troll. *sigh*

    ...what's to stop me from taking my $700, buying a slightly used (if not a brand new one, with student discounts) iBook and playing DVDs on it?
