Not really... More like it explains away religion as a human delusion. (Remember, just because something evolved into existence, doesn't mean it's useful.) It works for atheists, but it certainly would piss off the religious:-D
I personally believe there's some truth to this theory. Plenty of people seem to think that the following is a valid argument: "There has to be a God, otherwise we would have no purpose and that's too depressing." And that dictates their entire thought process.
I've had to support a lot of web-apps, and I can say a web browser is *never* a better interface than a GUI application. What about your modem settings? Which would you rather do:
Obviously you'd do (b). Option (a) would break Linux support, it would force the developers to make a custom GUI, and generally lower the standards of the product.
Not to disagree entirely with your point since there are terrible examples of webapps out there, but to say never is not quite true.
I have a question, the answer to which I would probably know if I had iTunes or etc, which I don't.
If you download a DRM-encrypted file, that's encoded on the server side, right? You say, "I want one copy of blah-blah-blah by blah-blah to work on this machine/player." Or something.
That doesn't work in BitTorrent, because everyone is receiving the exact same copy of the file, the unencrypted one. How can you apply DRM over BitTorrent?
That wouldn't work, would it? If you were looking at the surface of the Earth in real-time, you wouldn't be able to see half of it because of the clouds. That's why Google Earth is such a patchwork.
Slashdot Mirror
The point is that you need a copy of Windows to run in it. Which costs the same as a copy of Windows to run natively.
Please tell me you didn't really take that post seriously...
For a well-constructed, thought-out and beautifully-presented logical argument. :-D

Not that it means much, but the Keynote presentation said that the Multi-Touch screen was "far more accurate" than any other touch screen.
And it can't exactly be normal touch-screen technology anyway, given that it allows for multiple simultaneous finger presses.
Er -- so you think C++ code is more stable/secure than managed C#?

Even in Slashdot, Sonic's appearance is in a minor topic...
But then, would you want to go and play another 25 hours of the same game?
Yes, and they're both BLAH. You heard me, BLAH. It's that serious.
I tried to open the thread and got "Nothing to see here, move along". I guess that is appropriate.
