Wait! Everytime Microsoft makes this argument in defense of Windows shoddy security, Slashdot laughs them down. Suddenly the argument is valid for Linux?
Wait, are you trying to suggest that people on Slashdot be reasonable and not hypocrites? Hah!
"Twenty percent of all searching was sex-related back in 1997; now it's about 5 percent"
That doesn't really tell us much besides how many people searched for sex-related things through a search-engine. Many people nowdays know they'll have much better luck if they use Kazaa/Bittorrent/DC++/etc.
Yeah, but a TiVO looks so much nicer sitting there amongst the other TV equipment than a cheap computer case does... and once you start looking into nicer cases, the case alone will cost more than the price of a new TiVO/ReplayTV.
If that were possible, believe me, I'd be the first in line. Screw headphones, speakers, monitors, televisions, etc... I want the data fed directly to my brain.
Well, I'm not a big enough Star Wars geek to know for sure either, but considering how quickly they can travel between systems, I guess they pretty much have to be able to go beyond light-speed, hm?
Actually, it's rumored (however not confirmed, AFAIK) that Sony is planning on putting 32MB of RAM in the PSP. That should easily be enough to put smaller games entirely in memory (simpler puzzle games, for instance).
I'm sure it depends on what you're doing. If you're watching a movie, sure, it'll probably be low, since they'll need to keep the drive spinning and spinning.
For games, though, if they only spin up the drive when they absolutely need it, they can probably eek the 6 hours out of it.
If Microsoft doesn't control the applications that people use the most, they can't make sure that only Windows runs those applications. This, quite obviously, is bad news for them since it makes it much easier to migrate from Windows to another OS.
Let's see, a more powerful dual-screened version of the most popular portable console of all time outsells a revision of the same old hardware where the only real differences are that it's much smaller and has built-in networking. Oh, and if you want to play FFXI on it (which many Japanese do), you're SOL since it's not compatible with the hard drive.
No, actually they're going to have a plot that is nice and untrue to the game (which, admittedly, doesn't have much of one).
Callaham said that in his meetings with the id Software team they were very supportive and open with his ideas on changing the Doom mythology and allowing for real characters to be put into the script.

but... but.. the Archos isn't trendy!
Info.
Check WinMX or a similar P2P service for samples.
Apply the coating to the other side of the disk? (this answer is serious :P )
Not sure how much people would like not being able to write on CDs.
Yes, because we all know that if doubleclick goes away we will no longer have any advertising on the web.
I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't trust second-rate refill kits when printing circuits.
"Worst filmmaker" should be a title reserved for directors who make truly boring, un-interesting films.
Like Lucas' recent work.

You can't use Kazaa to buy a microwave, though.

Wait... since when have laws always stopped people from doing things they shouldn't?
Coming soon: Google maps. Better than the rest, because we give you sattelite images of your destination!
but where do you think all the infringement of the US's free speech (wrapped under the guise of "decency") is stemming from in your country?
The far-too-easily-offended soccer moms, I'd say.
See, the problem here is that you're trying to make sense. Everyone knows that politicians are logic-deficient.

For those of you not planning on stealing a copy, head over to your local ToysRUs. They're having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on console games right now.
This has been a public service announcement.

As an interesting comparison, my website's traffic (mostly nerds) only comes in at around 40% IE for this month, compared to around 60% in June.
The amount of people using WinXP is going higher and higher, though.
I saw that as "Goombas v1.0" and immediately got visions of the little mushroom-headed guys from Mario.

How is this even newsworthy?
Unfortunately, my inbox begs to differ. I get at least a couple e-mails a day from them.
I say the most efficient way is to just wait for them to come invade us. Uses no resources.
