Everybody obviously knows that no viruses exist for the mac so your assertions are asymptotically false.

Blanket statement. Yes it upsets some people in the same way a construction detour does. Just because they cry and swear about it and swear doesn't mean they can't still reach their final destination. You have to choose the road that suits you. I swear, slashdot has been filled with prima donna complaining about something that might break their nails.
And certainly nobody who's not a CS person is going to think "Oh, yeah, I divide the base 10 exponent by 3 and multiply by 10 to get the base 2 exponent because this is a piece of computer equipment!".
Computer science people use the current units because they fit cleanly together and they do not have a direct relation to other normal SI units. It's not like you are going to be trying to divide a gigabyte by a kilogram. It also not like the bits can be made a different size as are bolts to fit into the SI units more naturally.

So you think programmers are going to be such much happier thinking that their program will run in 1.048576MB instead of 1MB (Mibibyte for you). How are things going to get when people start rounding because of the long decimals?
I agree with this, but didn't notice until now that cross-platform gameplay (PC-to-console) has been done on the 360 with Live (Shadowrun, FFXI) but not with the PS3/PSN. Even the Dreamcast let console players play in games with/against PC players. Just find it odd. As for the initial question, MS has a lot more to lose by letting PS3 players play online with players on the 360. It'd hugely tarnish the perceived value of Live if every game you joined was already full of people playing online for free.
Don't fall too easily into that trap. I don't think the Dreamcast networking setup wasn't as rigid or well defined as it is now for other consoles. While I do believe EA runs their own network outside of the big 3, most companies don't nowadays and just use the presetup ones. Windows Live ad XBox live are setup to share which is the only reason why it was somewhat trivial to setup a game for it in the first place.
The irony: The same things that make Japan hellish for foreigners living there are the same thing that make it incredible fun for tourists. Tourists love to hear those things.
When I was in a Japanese class in college, I had to smack someone around for being jealous of how I am treated as a white male in Japan. When you're asian, you at least have a chance to fit in. I will always be treated as a foreigner just from having brown hair and blue eyes.
It's tricky. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are happy about this kind of astroturfing. I mean, it would be the ones who say that it's not their fault for missing a good video game because they weren't advertised to. If a company has the money to pay for this kind of advertising, they are likely the cream of the crop anyway. Amirite or amirite?
I agreed with you until the last sentence. You do realize that you can install different versions of Mac OS X on different partitions, right? You can then just hold option on boot to switch between them. The most ideal setup might be an external drive to do this with. Having 8 machines would be just silly.
The build is labeled google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb from what I can see. Is a nightly really considered a genuine release? I just can't picture people saying the same thing of Firefox in the Firebird days.
It is interesting that when Time did this very thing to a photo of Bush our unbiased main-stream media thought it was thought-provoking and no censorship or wrist-slapping was encouraged.
This wasn't the times though. It was done to a picture from the times. From the article:
Alkhateeb had been tinkering with the program to improve the looks of photos he had taken on his clunky Kodak camera. The Joker project was his grandest undertaking yet. Using a tutorial he'd found online about how to "Jokerize" portraits, he downloaded the October 23 Time Magazine cover of Obama and began digitally painting over it.
You just look like a jackass for what you just said without looking into anything.
Freedom of speech especially don't occur with copyrighted content. Of all people, followers of the gpl should know this.
Alkhateeb's original Flickr page surpassed 20,000 views. The Times found his Flickr site last week thanks to a tip left by a loyal reader of The Ticket. By Friday, the page had been taken down.
It's so horrible that Times didn't want their photo tinkered with....which is probably from AP who is nice and strict with their photo licenses btw. You can play with your tinfoil hats if you want though.
But can you make an entire post out of pictograms and maintain readability?
Probably not. Though I would be a bit more worried if you some how figured out the window title using the application icon:).
I haven't used much of Vista and I haven't seen Windows 7. I was never much into the Windows taskbar, but Gnome is more or less useless without its equivalent so I know the feeling. I don't know if Windows in the same way or not in 7. But your complaints really don't sound so different than the ones for the Dock when it initially made its appearance in Mac OS X.
Personally, the dock worked pretty well for me in Mac Os X. I think it is because the application based setup of the OS was mostly conducive to it. In Gnome I cry daily about how there is no way to switch windows between in the same app with the keyboard or equivalent which is why I strongly rely on the terminal nowadays. For the lack of mass window manage controls, I mostly multiple desktops which is still pain because I lose windows that way and have to search for them.
Looping back around, this same lack of mass window management controls is why I feel forced to keep the Gnome taskbar-like window manager available. I don't know if Windows is anything like that.
I shall now go into my corner to cry how it feels like Gnome forces me to maximize windows and how there is no option clicking to hide all windows of the ap...or a button to bring them all back up.
There are good reasons we favour text based language over a pictogram or hieroglyphic language, complex text is far easier to read.
I don't personally read icons... but I do recognize and identify them.;-) What you just said sounds just as silly as someone who might say they "read faces" when they mean of "recognize faces." Have you never used a forum and noticed you recognize a lot of users by their avatar more than by their name?
The whole concept of tabs, in the first place, was that of a tabbed folder, like a 3-ring binder with those little plastic tabs so you can find your place. That was the visual "metaphor" that was being followed. By visually detaching the tabs from the pages they control, the metaphor is broken, and the eye does not follow as naturally from the page to the tab, or vice versa.
Please remember that there are reasons for both ways and that you are debating which is less wrong. Not which is right. The tabs attaching to the toolbar is supposed to show that the buttons effect that particular tab which is also a very important thing to represent in the gui. Ideally, the tabs should be on the very top of the window like Opera and now Chrome.
Or alternatively you can use abstract PC for the tab connecting to both effect so no one is happy.:)
Segway for $3000 here. TV for $3200 here and a motorcycle for $10,799.
While I don't believe in shitting that much money for luxury items, you are not being fair here. This is the equivalent of a motorcycle or a really nice Plasma TV. On top of that, eventually you will be able to get Segways used....
Segways are currently for people with a large disposable income and hobbyists. Just because you are looking up at them doesn't necessarily mean they are rich. Causation does not mean correlation.
Actually Microsoft is crying. They can't get people to upgrade out of IE6 because they forgot how. IE6 will just slowly tarnish their name more and more now. Seems fit for them.
Most people will just close it....If I saw that and didn't know it was official, I would likely just close it because I thought it was a scam or a virus trying to get in to my computer.

So, as another poster pointed out, use 1MiB instead when that's what you mean.
Perhaps. But what is the point of a new standard when it is fundamentally useless and creates more jargon?

Which is 500 Rupees assuming you have already gotten the larger wallet after the 3rd dungeon.
Personally, a closer analogy would be Nintendo approving Firefox for the Wii.
