<3> Prober changed COUNTRIES while we watched... hehehe
<4> What ever happened to mudshark?
<1> jaygrey: He's here still.
<5> lol - mudshark = jawz
<2> man i got me 500 rounds of 9mm ammo
<2> and im goin to the range tomorrow
<6> how much it cost ya
<4> Ah cool. It's amazing how many people are still here from when I used to be on IRC all the time...8 years ago
<2> 27 bucks

<6> what kind
<2> winchester
<6> doesnt' seem right
<2> http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=447175
<2> thats a little more than what academy was selling em for
<2> and im not positive thats exactly the same ammo
<6> yeah
<2> but i think it is
<0> wow, the guy who did lawschoolpodcast.com ... quit law school
<3> I hate iPods
<3> we average 24 a day sellin the darn things
<0> hate as you may, they are pure and good.
<3> they **** ***
<0> you're wrong, but that's fine. it's fine to be wrong
<2> they need a usb2 port
<3> reminds me of the rock opera, Tommy... where all the kids wanted to be like Tommy so they stuck corks in their ears and eyes
<0> ipods have done USB2 standard for a while now :D
<2> but dont they require the conversion cable thingy?
<0> what do you mean?
<2> like is there an actual usb port on the ipod? or is it some proprietary port?
<0> it's a proprietary port, but why on earth would that possibly matter
<3> on campus... this gir's cell phone rang... and she looked like a deer in the headlights... OH MY GAWD! she was gonna have to unplug her iPod to answer her cell phone...
<2> ever lose that cable?
<0> no, but if you do, you can get a new one
<6> yard omg like, she so needs like
<2> i hate proprietary jacks
<2> like cell phone ****
<6> and ipod phoen
<6> omg
<3> Apple will be glad to sell you another cable for only $97 (kidding)
<0> the ipod is too thin for a standard USB 2.0 port
<2> treo's
<6> got milk?
<2> ive got some ipod interface thing supposidly in my car
<2> but apparently i need some box installed
<2> and some weird cable
<6> yeah
<2> id rather have a device i could just jack into a usb port and it would send all data, audio and whatever text ****
<3> so you bought a 20" cinema display a couple years ago? It's still perfectly good. So you buy a mac mini. ACK! Your cinema display won't plug in. Apple would be pleased to sell you the ADC to DVI adapter for only $97
<6> and it's prolly like $200
<2> or something that used bluetooth
<2> wait
<2> is bluetooth even fast enough to stream audio reliably?
<2> that would rock
<6> we
<6> er
<2> i would just keep all my mp3's on my small cell phone
<6> dual channel bluetooth is
<2> and buy a bluetooth capable receiver
<0> this is exactly why it's impossible to talk to people about technology
<3> hehehe
<0> and why apple is going to dominate the ipod player market until people stop thinking of stuff like this :D
<2> like what?
<6> the stereo in my mustang is ipod capable
<2> alpine?
<6> it's called an "aux in port"
<0> like a "device I can just jack into a USB port and it will play music and also send all data and audio and there will be text there too and and and"
<3> DrunkCow: so are my tires
<3> <evil grin>
<6> yard, so true
<2> that makes no sense
<2> i mean
<2> its good to think of different things for devices to do
<2> if it wasnt, we'd be stuck
<2> im not against ipods
<2> at all
<6> Kynes i like the audi's with the sd mp3 slots
<0> it is, but what you have basically described is a USB flash drive, not a music player
<2> well a usb flash drive doesnt typicly have an OS on it capable of playlisting, etc
<6> i'm pretty sure there are decks that can read flash drives
<6> (usb m*** storage devices)
<0> there are actually some that do. but they sell terribly. the reason is, a device cannot both be a reliable music player and a reliable all-purpose storage device
<0> now, for the record, you can use an iPod as an external hard drive
<3> a USB flash drive that autoruns an mp3 player when you plug it in. And you can exit that to up/download more mp3 files to it
<0> you just need to use the cable they give you :D
<6> Kynes i mean a car stereo
<2> well
<2> my phone will take a SD card
<2> and it has windows media player 10 on it
<2> so i ***ume if i worked it out right
<0> a phone's interface is not well-suited to play music
<3> I just want my phone to be a phone
<6> could always write a program
<3> a GOOD phone
<2> if its windows mobile 2005 OS what is different?
<6> that made the phone screen look like an ipod :P
<2> yeah
<0> digidog: windows mobile 2005 is not well-suited to play music :D
<2> or palm
<2> or whatever
<2> that confuses me
<2> but OK :)
<6> palm what?
<3> palm springs
<0> the ipod interface is extraordinarily elegant and easy to use. that's all I'm saying. it is built to do one thing well: be a music player. and it does do that thing well.
<0> (video too, now, but that's so similar as to be adaptable)
<2> and i dont disagree with that
<0> right. so i'm just sayin'.
<2> but that doesnt make it the end all be all for everyone who wants portable music
<2> for whatever circumstance they prefer
<0> okay. true.
<3> Kynes: I don't disagree that the iPod is a neat device... as much as I hate them... but one question. ...
<3> Is it worth what people are paying to own one?
<2> that would depend on the person
<0> If it weren't worth it, why would they pay it?
<0> All goods are worth whatever price people pay.
<2> well some people likely pay for one and never use it and bitch alter
<2> or whatever
<2> but thats the consumers fault
<2> not apples
<3> the defective rate is REALLY high on those ****ers
<2> linksys routers have a high defective rate as well
<0> I don't think it is, but even so, apple's service plans are very good.
<2> yet they sell like hotcakes
<2> actually
<2> i dont know how well hotcakes actually sell
<3> they are NOT well made. They are marketed very well, but as a pice of hardware tehy stink
<3> and I STILL can't type for ****
<0> I disagree that they aren't well-made. They work extremely well. the hardware is responsive, etc.
<3> Kynes: believe me... they are not well made
<0> compared to pieces of **** like the Zen, an ipod is practically the Ark of the Covenant in terms of durability
<0> yardbird: believe me. they are :D
