MY thoughts precisely. It is REALLY hard to make a list of bad evolution using SUCCESSFUL examples. Regardless of the weirdness of the design, it WORKS over the other designs that were submitted over the eons.
If you did happen to lose all your data because of this one particular bug, then you have no one to blame but yourself. Storage fails, ALOT. Plan accordingly.
Rapid PC replacement has REALLY tapered off. I expect to get a full 5 years out of my current 2 year old quad core, playing all modern games (hell i run 5 copies of World of Warcraft with ease). Consoles have really retarded the PC arms race.
I own all 3 consoles as well, and i definitely play more console now then i did when PCs really were the pinnacle of video gaming
You are on a very slippery slope. There is NO NEED for jamming when administrative action should be effective.
People are always going to speed, should we put limiters on all cars? People are always going to drive drunk, should we put breathalyzer interlocks on every car? Where does it end?

Epic Games won't be bringing Gears of War 2 to the PC. That's their story and they're stickin' to it. It's "definitely" not happening, swears designer Cliff Bleszinski, pointing to a worsening PC gaming environment.
"The person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card, is a person who is savvy enough to know [BitTorrent] to know all the elements so they can pirate software," says Bleszinski. "Therefore, high-end videogames are suffering very much on the PC."
Except for maybe nintendo, we are going to see this gen of hardware for the forseeable future, much longer then anyone thought at the start. Thats not necessarily a bad thing. The machines are all set up with their own digital money printing presses, the graphics are not THAT noticeably off from PC save for AA which can be glaring on consoles at times. I think PC game dev is significantly slowed because of this gen of consoles, with longtime PC proponents finally falling to them (Epic Games, im looking at you! No Gear of war 2 for PC is a shame
Not only that, I know if im in a hurry typing something out, a homonym will sometimes slip in simply because my brain was moving faster then my fingers. Back on topic: NOt knowing how to write in cursive is just plain ODD. I never imagined people would consider it quaint and out of date.....
I do not think they are required to LOOK at every picture thye process, only report any wrongdoing that they happen to see. Alot of photo development houses are completely automated, often times the clerk will never see your pics. I would like for you to cite the relevant law where they are required to search.
Ive found there is no real solution in a home environment for me. My office is too much of a lab to be able to contain the cable beast, and my desk configuration is in a constant state of flux. Working on others computers, working new components into the A/V rack, dragging old consoles out, all kinds of stuff. I COULD get a nice test bench/desk with cable routing etc., but its expensive and not really 'home-like'. Besides that it took me years to wire it up the way it is now, and EVERY TIME i introduce cable ties into the works, I have to later remove it.
I have put a lot of thought into this over time and realized that any solution I came up with would have more drawbacks then I would like. ANy 'design' would be hard pressed to be cost-efficient, neat and flexible. Its a 'choose only two' type situation.

Thank you for the correction. Blu-ray is the first real widespread use of HDCP so I often connect them in the wrong ways.
I dont think device vendors can revoke keys, only the BR consortium.
ITs was a thermal reactive line of clothes. Put your hand on a girls ass and the image of your hand stays for a bit.
Sigh, typical American 'work yourself to death' mentality...I say this as an American.....

Its easy to make these jokes when they have been known to actively turn down applicants with high IQs.
EA was pretty smart this summer too with both a free and a $15 battlefield game

Not if I own the original cart, which i happen to in this particular case
Show us on the doll where the bad man touched you Mr. COWARD
Thats cool and all, but I can play the ROM at 1920x1200 with 8x AA and 16x aniso
That already occurred when they filed, obtained and defended the 'one-click' patent.

There are some things that CANNOT be removed from windows without a 'nuke from orbit'. This is a known truth of Windows computing.

Blu-Rays are even better. They have a very hard, thick coating of plastic on the data side, one of the few reasons im glad BR won. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Hard-coating_technology
