If you run this during the winter, the heat generated from the computer/console can heat your home. It isn't a very efficient heater, but it is doing something useful.
Except that the current generation consoles are always on. The console is listening for the remote on by the controller, and the Wii even goes on WiFi by itself with not on.
The consoles also generate a lot more heat, especially the 360 and PS3, which if it is summer will cause your house to use more AC (although conversely the heat can warm your house in the winter).
Power usage IS much higher because of consoles these days.
Even if I pull numbers out of my ass and say that small % of the human population want illegal drugs, there's also a small population that responds to spam, sadly, wanting cheap viagra, etc.
The reason why Ubuntu 8.10 has better wireless capabilities is because in the newer Linux kernel, it has more wireless support. This is in the kernel itself now, not external drivers.
Um. I want healthcare? I'm talking about the people that DIE because the insurance companies deny healthcare to people who cannot foot the bill of an expensive procedure and ask the insurance companies for help.

I for one welcome our previously extinct smarter overlords.
Ya know, you CAN clone a specific organ.
That would be wasteful, ethics aside, cloning a whole human being to steal their kidneys or something.
The next issue is, are they similar enough to reproduce with us, and give fertile offspring. That's a huge issue nobody would want to touch.
1. Put it on top of the well.
2. ????
3. Profit.

It's the same exact problem.

The difference next to nothing.
Yes, lets eat the cloaking devices.

4 shuffles should be enough for everyone.
And you're posting on Slashdot. What have you done to help save the economy?
Seriously.
Random question: is this fixable? Can you upgrade the firmware of the hard drive (if a new one is released?)
They'll just blame their losses on piracy.
I just almost got fired from work from the laughter, thanks and no thanks!

First result of X-Forwarding on Google.
Instead of asking questions, using man pages?
Using Google to answer questions? Unit conversions? Most forms of calculations? The weather using SMS?
Using vi/sed/Perl/regex for advanced searching and/or replacement?
Being generally knowledgeable about computers and hardware, so that you can repair and diagnose most common computer problems?
Using find | grep?
Using the console in general?
How to force a write of all cache to the hard disk (run sync)?
Etc.
Google it.
(no really, do it. the first result is what you want.)
Oops? Posting something that has occurred is flamebait?
Linux home desktop adoption is low!

Pretty slow there buddy.
It could also fall into the ocean you know. 70% water and all.
4. why do these games cost money? why can't they just GPL it?
Quake series, Doom series (except 3, but soon it will be), and lots of other games are GPL but not free.
You pay for the maps, sound, graphics, etc. The engine is free.
want
Healthcare.
Um. I want healthcare? I'm talking about the people that DIE because the insurance companies deny healthcare to people who cannot foot the bill of an expensive procedure and ask the insurance companies for help.

Yes, I want healthcare. So do you right? But that's a pipedream to you? That one day when you NEED healthcare or you die... That's what I mean.

Take all, richest 2% all foot the bill.
Drive demand for efficient and WORKING healthcare up dramatically.
