"Say WHAT again Mother Fucker!" WHAT?

A masseur hired by Travolta claims the movie star took him to a Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow, stripped to nothing, appeared semi-erect, and touched the masseur's scrotum and penis during the massage, TMZ reports. When the masseur declined to fool around, Travolta cried, "Come on dude, I'll jerk you off!" Travolta then completed that very deed, but on himself. Travolta allegedly said he had achieved fame "due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his 'Welcome Back Kotter' days," adding, "Hollywood is controlled by homosexual Jewish men who expect favors in return for sexual activity."

It's extreemly unlikely that apple's psudo-random number generator is bad enough that it would be noticeable to people during their lifetimes, or thousands more years.

People may be complaning about a lack of variation but that's just a problem with their playlist, not the product. There are PRNGs out there good enough for strong crypto, so there are certanly some that are good enough for a playlist.

Truly pseudo-random you mean? There's no way a deterministic device can ever produce true randomness, and whatever pseudo-random number generator is used with the iPod will eventually repeat itself perfectly

Actually, on a lexicographic point, "shuffle" as used in audio equipment is distinct from "random," and the distinction has been around much longer than iPods. Random means, well, random. The device picks every new track at random, without regard for what it has already played. Set your CD player on random-play you could hear the same track twice in a row, as I occasionally did with my old one. Shuffle play means "play each track exactly once, in a random order."

Dude! Snikty! You've got to calm down! You might as well be speaking Latin! Am I the only one who has no fucking idea what any of that means????
