Well, Winamp and XMMS will never play the same thing twice in the same session. The song shuffle is predetermined, just as if you randomized your playlist. I believe that also, since Winamp 2.8 (XMMS still does it the old way), that it keeps a persistent shuffle, but it still doesn't remember play history from when you last closed the program. Since I'm a free memory nut, I never have many programs open at once (and probably the only Linux user who disables multiple desktops).
As for the basics in random number generation, my only experience in programming was in Apple BASIC and even with that, I saw it all too much:
10 FOR I=1 TO 8:PRINT INT(RND(1))*10;CHR$(4):NEXT I
This is got to be a result of the random number generator. Winamp and XMMS are exactly the same in this regard. When my music collection got big enough, I usually just put the player into shuffle mode. It always seems to pick the same songs over and over. Of course, the results are slightly different in XMMS as compared to Winamp.
Of course, I just opened Winamp to test this out and it knows I'm blabbing about it and it's playing music I have not heard in a while.
a) I already said it wasn't blue. Let's learn how to read. b) The resale value on Macs cause users to claim systems even from seven years ago as faily "current". c) Take a joke.
But what does a company built around making inexpensive PCs know about HDTVs?
Here's a simple answer: they don't know shit about it. That's why they're just going to do what they do with their monitors; rebrand someone else's display. Isn't that pretty much what Gateway did?
Seriously, what kind of nerd would return a device for replacement if it had a fault like that, instead of taking it apart, filing off the excess plastic, then posting pictures and a rant to his blog?
You may has well just play the 45s back at 78 RPM speed, as the sound quality for both probably adds up to the same amount of equivilant data over distance.
...when Something Awful beats you to the story. (Look towards the bottom or the previous day's news for the Awful Link of the Day)
Excerpt from Friday's page:
Awful Link of the Day
Everquest II Pizza (thanks OMGWTFBBQ) - Great news for those of you too lazy to actually use a telephone while playing Everquest II; you can now order a pizza from inside the game. Blue faggot needs food badly.

While playing EverQuest II just type/pizza and a web browser will launch the online ordering section of pizzahut.com. Fill in your info and just kick back until fresh pizza is delivered straight to your door.
Now if only they will add a "/feedandnurturechildren" command to Everquest we'll be all set!
Carful - if you do that, the machine will predict that Trey Parker and Matt Stone will write a song about the aforementioned Ben Affleck movie sucking.

3) Why would it cost you $699?
The answer probably involves a sentence ending in, "you cocksmoking teabaggers," but I'm not going to go there.
WTF is up with the blue plastic crack?
What, like this one? (ok, so it's not blue)
Peter: "No, that says 'Audi' - the "T" is silent!"
By that logic, I shouldn't crap in a toilet bowl because my toilet isn't a bowl. You'll master the English language someday - just not today.
Reminds me of the The Simpsons where Bart is trying to train Santa's Little Helper
"Bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh! Bluh bluh bluh bluh sit!"
English: Did you hear about the new translation software? -> Dog: Woof! -> English: I want some food now.

What good is a shotgun going to do?
He uses a Compy.
On the other hand, imitiating T & C Surf Design in real life wouldn't exactly be safe. I think my life expectancy in that game was about five seconds.

You must have never had to ride the bus to school as a kid then.

Heh, I guessed I learned a new word that relates to what my sig is.
Turns out the server got sealed in by construction as a panel was put on the other side of it, making it part of a wall.
Sounds like the contractors were playing The Sims too often.
Yeah, I'm still waiting for Duke Togo to get his own board game.
