You can play exactly the same with the PC. You can use 58' plasma TV, super-duper stereo and if you fancy console controllers from your couch. (If you play simple games, when you start to play competitive online games, you need all the control you can get).
The PC cost more? Sure, but so does every other top edge technology.
You got owned by people with better hardware configuration? Guess what, for some, most of the fun comes from tweaking their system (you know, the geek fetish to tinker).
No, I wouldn't. If everyone else has them, I want at least 120x optical zoom, ad-block on the HUD, and an automatic targeting program for the laser cannons.
Add the ability to convert Americans fat chicks into Sweden porn stars and you got yourself a deal.
The Government provides a service - in this case, asking/forcing someone else to provide a service - and people are shocked that it will cost money? What kind of Communist paradise do these people live in where Government doesn't cost anything?
Everybody wants services (public schools, Medicare, military, etc), nobody wants to pay taxes.
I have 20/20 MB optic line in my house for 26E a month.
My city has 10.000 inhabitants, so the price for fiber optic in a bigger environment should be even cheaper.
I found that I get caught up in the computer and what I'm working on and forget to stop and eat. When I get really focused on my work I'll forget to stop and eat and when I'm playing a new game I may only eat once a day for the first weekend.
They do.
Zee Internet Hackers are in your PC and in order to make you safe they need to monitor your connections. Of course providing them with your personal information will make the whole procedure way safer for you.
They are going to ass rape you, without taking you to diner first.
Apart from it looking horrible, aliasing stairways are the antithesis to stability of an object. E.g. a bone with aliasing would be much less stable. And don’t even think about lying on it and not causing painful pressure points.

I dont think any one would want Yahoo as default search
Who gives a shit about what users wants anyway?
Look at Microsoft or Apple, they tell you what you need.
Maybe someone should tell to the F1 teams to stop developing racing simulators, since video-games can't improve your driving skills.

Wait until I get some clones, then nothing will stop me from world domination.
Apple saving us from Adobe? Has Hell just frozen?
Do you even understand what the EU wants?
You ever sucked d**k for a cheeseburger?
'nuff said.
P.S: Out of mod points.
Right now drivers have to cope with 4-5G. Abolish the limitations and you will need a PC to handle the 20G the car will be able to deliver.
Discs are so 20th century.
Console = 5 years old PC hardware with locked options.

The whole debate of Communism vs Democracy is bullshit.
What we want is a corruption free politics and the full respect for individual liberty.
Firefox will crush when one of the plugins stops to respond. Be it Java, Adobe, PDF, ....
Not a Firefox fault, but today we need to prevent this plugins from crushing the browser.
It has nothing to do with expenses. Very few people know how much is the running cost of their car. They just want a new excuse to buy something new.
It's the same story with used cars. At the first sign of a problem they want to buy a new one.
They start to care once they pay for virus disinfection.
MS Internet Explorer, providing botnet support since 2000.
Kudos to Google for showing the middle finger to the Chinese politicians.
I was going to write a long reply but realized I won't have time before my plane leaves for Spain.. see you guys!

Dropping connections that want to hanshake encryptions / look encrypted.

No thanks. I like my body parts casted or grown.
You are so 20th century.
