Do even you know what a "dupe" is?Dupe... as in short for duplicate. As in report as dupe, meaning use digg's "problem?" drop-down, select "duplicate story" to report as "dupe".A simple search of digg for "ringtone" reveals many dupes on this subject:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/search?search=ringtone">http://digg.com/search?search=ringtone</a>The one that this could be considered a dupe of would be:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/technology/Teenager_Repellent_Ringtone_Now_Available">http://digg.com/technology/Teenager_Repellent_Ringtone_Now_Available</a>Still, I applaud you're restraint from falling into the abyss of the stereotypical "MOFG lols OTFL u R2 kewl!!!!" teenage Internet drivel. One piece of advise though, lay off the exclamation marks, it's a slippery slope.

You laugh, but that's actually what some people talk about at my school. Every day. How they do it over and over without getting bored I'll never know.

"As you grow older, the decimal range that you can hear at narrows because your inner ear looses its sensitivity over time." I hear that the deciBal range also decreases as well :shock:

My dad thought I was making it up, he didn't believe me it was real. I could hear it fine, he couldn't hear anything at all.

At 41, I'm pretty old by digg standards. Could not hear the ring tone on the diggnation podcast, but when I downloaded it myself and listened, I can make it out. Mind you, it's not excrutiatingly loud, but I can hear it.
