Firewalls and routers existed well before NAT became mainstream. You do realize that just because NAT acts as a firewall doesn't mean that it is a GOOD firewall, nor the ONLY type of firewall? (most NAT routers now allow in UDP packets from ANY source once a port is opened, for example, to allow for games to work)
How is it more open? They've closed the only jailbreak, and you cannot install your own version of the OS on the G1 (it has to be crypto-signed by the provider). It's as open as the Tivo...
So what do you do when you buy a new printer that Linux doesn't support yet? Update your ENTIRE KERNEL instead of just installing a simple driver? Repatch the changes by hand against your current kernel?
You failed at reading comprehension. In what way is an underpowered Intel X3100 comparable to a geforce go 9400? You might as well say that the dell is overpriced compared to an EEE.
You hit on some, but don't forget that generics have been in since dotnet 2.0 and we STILL do not have generics for reflection, data-tables, or many other standard pieces of the API which still require the use of explicit casting.
Most modern CPUs cannot decode 1080p blu-rays in linux. The video card has nothing to do with it, as there is no support in any linux driver for GPU assisted decoding of anything apart from mpeg2, and even that is shoddy. ffmpeg works well with two threads on dual core, but quad cores isn't buying much right now.
Low bitrate 1080p rips on the net are not the same quality nor difficulty.
Yes, a dual/quad core super-fast intel setup can do it (and the mythtv list has a big thread right now about what it takes for full blu-ray rips) but right now those machines are expensive and loud.
This card could be perfect for people making HTPCs who want a low power and QUIET computer to watch on their TV using myth/etc.
Mexico is categorized as third world, though... It's not a value judgement on the worth of Mexico, it's simply a categorization used during the cold war which still lives on.
There is no legal guidance on the steps taken by a state in choosing how to cast their electoral votes. They could toss a coin and it'd likely be legal depending on THAT STATE'S constitution.

It's not out for the 360 yet, but I can say that when/if it is: -running their game does not interfere with normal functioning of the console with other games (or media or...)
-you can run their game on as many 360s as you want, just only one at a time, without having to call to "deauthorize" other computers (and possibly being rejected!)
-in 50 years if I have a new-in-box 360 that still works and a new-in-box copy of this game I will be able to fire it up and play it
So no, I have no issue with it. Most people complaining about DRM are not trying to steal it. They're annoyed that it ruins their computer, interferes with normal functions/other games, will not allow them to play while offline, and may not work in 5 years.
Mobile Me is for home and family use. It doesn't even let you do the "google apps" model.
IPhone fully supports enforced VPN connecting against Exchange, which is what you should be doing if you're using it for business (and what hundreds of thousands of business users are doing).
It is not drug dealing or transporting illegal substances when an officer takes some seized drugs out of the evidence locker and into court for a trial, despite him "moving" them, because he was authorized to.

A car that crumples has better safety than a car which stays rigid. Your proof is proof that it does not protect you in a wreck.

How's the speed with deleting large (4-10gb) files?

Most go karts go MUCH quicker than 28mph...
So what do you do when you buy a new printer that Linux doesn't support yet? Update your ENTIRE KERNEL instead of just installing a simple driver? Repatch the changes by hand against your current kernel?
Did you simply run apt-get dist-upgrade, or did you use the officially supported upgrade tool?
The upgrade tool USUALLY takes care of the "little problems" that apt-get itself can't quite deal with.
Boston legal is not a documentary.
I think that "station" means "charging station," not like "petrol station". Think pumps, not complexes.
Put 1 plug per space in a 2000 space car park and you're 1% there.

> If you are a sysadmin and it takes you 72 hours to fsck a 1TB drive, you should be fired.
Tell us how you magically speed up fsck? Or do you mean that you just skip it an manually set the disk as clean, for which you should be fired...
It's a bit like the other country that Native Americans live in...
Or the other country that New Orleans is located in.

The word "gay" also has nothing to do with homosexuality. You sound very gay.
I think linux would be better supported because of the current support of linux for the cell processor.
-in linux, no. only mpeg2 decoding
-in any OS, not really. There is a brand new ENCODER for h.264, but reviews show it to be crap and limited
Windows does have full GPU decoding of h.264 with modern nvidia (not sure about ATI, but it is likely), but that's it.

THis does not record at all, it is only a viewer. The roku box will make a PERFECT slim HD-capable mythtv frontend box, though, if they do this right.
