If you are a religious person than I can understand your position. If you are not then I wonder how you arrived at it. I don't know where you are coming from here, but I do wonder about the large number of people in the West who renounce or ignore religious faith and yet still have this sense of moral certainty and who freely make moral judgement of one and all.
It's almost as if morality has nothing to do with religion, isn't it? Perish the very thought!
In the future all CPU's will have hardware virtualization anyway, we're talking about a future OS on future computers here, non power users of the near future will have a CPU that is more powerful than a CPU of today and with hardware virtualization.
As far as I know everything including and after the AMD Athlon X2 and Intel Core 2 processors support that already. They're certainly fast enough too.

Piracy and the PSP

God you're vitriolic. Did you miss the part where he said he bought all of his games?
Nobody is making psp games because people with an overblown sense of self-entitlement are pirating them as a matter of routine.
What do you have to back this up with besides word of mouth? I haven't pirated any PSP games, but I've still only got six because I just don't see anything I want.
There's 45 million PSPs out there, I find it difficult to believe that more than a quarter of them have custom firmware installed given people's general level of technical retardation. Hell, even if 100% of CFW users are pirates and 50% of people have CFW installed it's still a potential audience of 22 million.
What games do you like the best? Lack of games seems to be the most common issue people have with the PSP, myself included. I guess we're wrong?
I've only got six: Ace Combat X, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, Disgaea, Killzone, Gradius Collection and Wipeout Pure. I said five in an earlier post because I can't count.
Too bad. The thing about the PSP is that it's not actually that great without the custom firmware. Load times are slow, the framerate can be sub-par, and you need to fiddle around with UMDs, there's no emulation and you'd have to re-buy the PS1 games you already own to play them. CFW fixes all that but also makes pirating easy. Seems like they're in a bad situation either way. Maybe they'd do better at this stage to open up the hardware and sell it as a platform? I bought it for playing emulated games really; although I haven't pirated any PSP games I've only bought five of them.
With homebrew firmware you can rip your games over USB and then put them on a memory stick. I have all of mine on an 8GB one. (and no I didn't pirate any games) It also cuts loading times down to pretty much nothing.
Not really. 45 million sales is almost as much as the Wii, or the combined sales of the PS3 and 360. Only the DS leads it by a significant amount: 55 million more.
It's not the Atoms in netbooks that are the problem, it's the chipset; Atom uses 2.5W at most but the chipset consumes more than four times that amount. Would the ARM chipsets improve on this?
After all it doesn't matter if your CPU is peaking at 250mW when your chipset is gorging itself on the battery by sucking down 12W.
I was going to make the same smart-ass answer except with virtual machines... For browser programs I'd add the modifer "crappily" to them doing everything.
Let's face it, it's never quite as good. There's always some GUI fault, unresponsiveness or functionality loss.
That's actually pretty interesting, I didn't know about those differences in the drives at all. So although you're a bit of a cunt, hopefully you'll get modded +5 informative. I had assumed the 12x read rate was for dual layer discs and that BDRs were read with CAV. My bad.
No need to become paranoid-delusional over it though; I just looked it up as you should expect any reasonable person to do and happened to miss a few things. Relax.
Yeah, I wish they were a little cheaper. On the plus side, the 80GB versions are 70 euros cheaper than the 160GB ones - 280 vs 350. That puts it into the acceptability range if HDD space isn't important, I think.
That said, even at retail a 160GB 2.5" disc is 45 euros, so you can save a little money there. Apparently it's easy to install as well, there's a hatch on the bottom for it.
for putting these men into jail. I'll start by not buying that Wall-E special edition DVD I was eyeing for some time. Also, the Bolt DVD will get a pass.
You know, I got that DVD as a gift for Christmas and it didn't work. I couldn't watch it, or even rip it because of the DRM. It even reported some crazy size in the filesystem info that couldn't possibly fit on a DVD. I have a media server at home for the family to use and wanted to put it in there; well too bad for me!
Fortunately The Pirate Bay was on hand to provide me with a functional product.
Now that you mention it, Asus actually make an extremely small PC called the 'Eee Box' which is just that; the typical netbook hardware in a tiny box with no screen. It's small enough to attach it to the VESA mount on the back of a monitor.
We're talking about night-time usage here though. I don't think people use a terrific amount of power when they're sleeping through the majority of the darkness.
But you might have problems getting all those hyperthreaded cores utilised. In its place I recommend the old Athlon X2 6000+, with a TDP of 125 watts; easy to peg both cores and get a space-heater. I used to have one, my room never got cold back then.

I have 40 game UMDs.

PSP, on the other hand, sells like shit

Lulz!
Get out.
I don't think so! "What is an app?" isn't an argument, so there can be no assumption of its own conclusions.

Yup. You can tell by the rounded corners.

No it doesn't. I just looked it up, the PS3 is a lot slower according to its specifications.
1x BRD = 36Mbps.
1x DVD = 10.5Mbps.
PS3: 2x BRD = 72Mbps.
360: 12x DVD = 126Mbps.

Whoops. It was Wall-E.

Get a Core i7. TDP: 130 watts.

Not Sweden, I hope.
Who cares how old it is or how many versions behind it is? The only thing that matters is how many people use it.
