As much as you don't like George W Bush, you might want to rethink that. If Kim Jong Il won and became the President of the USA:
Jeepers! Did you read my post? I said I hope they both lose a celebrity deathmatch.
You notice that at no point do I express my wish for Kim Jong Il to win anything, let alone the presidency of the most-armed-to-the-teeth country on the planet.
wmf: You haven't heard of CDs? Lars T: IOW you are RIAA shill who wants people to buy full CDs instead of single songs. wmf: But I didn't advocate anyone buy a CD. I simply said CDs were available as an option to those who dislike DRM. Lars T: So you want to claim you never said what you did. Stupid shillhole.
I don't understand we you keep asking stupid questions.
But we're not asking stupid questions, you are.
Woz's quote had nothing to do with CDs
Woz: DRM Bad. I only have 6 non-drm tracks. OP: Why not just rip CDs if you don't like DRM. Lars T: But you can't buy good non-DRMd music. wmf: What about CDs? Lars T: This has nothing to do with CDs.
Well, that's not from my imagination, but from life.
A imaginary scenario where I'd find an mp3 ringtone incredibly useful would be one where the mp3 ringtone can kick radleeters in the balls when it detects them.
'extremely' useful? Let your brilliant imagination shine.
A good friend of mine is:
1) Partially deaf - has real trouble with certain tones. 2) Employed in a data centre with more white noise than you can poke a stick at.
He can't hear any of the default ringtones on his phone - he ended up using a recording of his grandpa's old school PSTN phone. The only thing he can hear.
Oh c'mon - if you're going to make a joke about this article, how could you possibly leave the gem-filled last paragraph out?
Fans suck waste into the commode. Crew members also have individual urine funnels which are attached to hoses, and the urine is automatically transferred to a U.S. device that can generate potable water.
I only just noticed that it was Whiney. I always read Whitney.
Whitney mac fanboy? Is that someone called whitney who's a mac fanboy? Or a fanboy of whitney macs? Either way, I'm going to assume you watched the bodyguard waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many times;-)
Seriously, what the fuck is going on with slashdot?
I've read & reread the linked articles, and not a single mention of the iPhone - and it's been over 48 hours since an iPhone story. Seriously - it's like slashdot's turned into a linux site, instead of an iPhone site.
Let's not forget our roots folks - just because linux is the big hype story today.
Actually I think anything that discourages people from using polyphonic ringtones is GREAT.
I can see where you're coming from POP song wise, but mp3 ringtones are not just pop songs. I used to have Bonobo's flutter as my ringtone - its an effective ringtone & not as irriating as many.
I hope you're imagination isn't so limited that you can't come up with a few other scenarios where a custom ringtone is extremely useful.
The crap video card manufacturor from the 90s sues Amazon for trademark infringement, it'd be spurious, but *shrugs*, so's this patent (and all software patents).
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps you would like to be wrong as always - and an moronic heap of bullshit too?
Are you kidding me? Anybody would feel like Einstein compared to you dungheap.
IOW, you are wrong, and will insult me to cover up that fact.

Your post indicates that you think I equate Bush & Kim Il. I dont. I just hope they both lose (in a celebrity deathmatch).
Watching this will be like watching a celebrity deathmatch between Kim Jong Il & George W Bush.
You're hoping there's some way both will lose.

Feeling stupid now?

But I didn't advocate anyone buy a CD. I simply said CDs were available as an option to those who dislike DRM.
I guess calling me a shill is your way of admitting you don't know what you're talking about?
Thanks for misquoting Woz and me - as if any further proof what an asshat you are was needed.
IOW, you know you're wrong, so you'll insult me to try to cover up.
I don't understand we you keep asking stupid questions.

The real spoiler is in the slow motion bit. Listen closely & you can distinctly hear the iphone death cry 'Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan'.
iPhone. The Shatner of cell phones.
anything less then a 500w psu and it'll be under powered.
Oh Bollocks. Vista might be shit and power hungry, but many laptops with a sub 100w psu will run it just fine.
Well, that's not from my imagination, but from life.
A imaginary scenario where I'd find an mp3 ringtone incredibly useful would be one where the mp3 ringtone can kick radleeters in the balls when it detects them.
one could read this as OS's that require such hardware just to boot are wasting power.
I'm not aware of any OS that requires 500w just to boot.
Are you asking me, Woz or yourself? Or are you just confused as ever?
You don't understand what the word 'you' means?
Maybe because he buys music he likes instead of buying music that sucks but doesn't come with DRM just to make a point.
You haven't heard of CDs?

2) Tubes (Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!)

You do justice to your nickname.
Thank you, but I do feel that there's a little too much redundancy in my nick. I mean, if I was called "mac fanboy", you'd assume whiney.
For that matter, if I was just called 'mac', everyone would read the implied 'whiney fanboy'

It's like an iPhone but uglier!
Hmmmmmn, if you ask me, making you buy a track you allready own (on CD) - just to use it as a ring tone is pretty fucking ugly.
Beauty isn't just skin deep.

The bottom line is that the GPL wants all software to be GPL'd, period, and it's not right.
Hate to break it to you, but the GPL is a license & doesn't want anything.
