most non-fanboys agree the xbox is more powerful than the ps2. (I own both, and don't consider myself a fanboy.:)
OTOH, the corvette is faster than the nsx and half the price. Basically the only reason to get an nsx is if you want a car nobody else in your state has. (I probably don't even want to know how much it costs to fix something in an nsx should it break down.)
how about your local computer dealer, you know, the one who hasn't been driven out of business by walmart yet? (because we all know stealing from walmart would be okay.)
their bizarre "don't delete your email (and even if you do, we're going to keep a copy)" policy
It's been explained ad nauseum that google does not archive deleted email indefinitely; deleting just isn't instantaneous, because of the nature of the system.
Some news stories have suggested that Google intends to keep copies of users' email messages even after they've deleted them, or closed their accounts. This is simply not true. Google keeps multiple backup copies of users' emails so that we can recover messages and restore accounts in case of errors or system failure. Even if a message has been deleted or an account is no longer active, messages may remain on our backup systems for some period of time. This is standard practice in the email industry, which Gmail and other major webmail services follow in order to provide a reliable service for users. We will make reasonable efforts to remove deleted information from our systems as quickly as is practical.
The R&C series lets you use weapons that you earned in previous games.
You have a nice rant, but how many console RPG "expansion packs" have you seen come out? Do you think that maybe that's because the developers have looked at the market and decided it wouldn't be a money-maker?
those who can afford their own computers can afford the normal subscription fee; the majority will play from internet cafes which always pay more for a license to resell, as it were.
he also says that (a) sending pixel data is basically what the Sun Ray product does and (b) it's about as efficient as using the X protocol would be, or (reading between the lines) they wouldn't have done it that way...
graph #3 reports 100k Runescape "active subscribers" in Jul 04. Either I'm hugely underestimating how many people pay for Runescape, or they're counting _all_ accounts, of which the majority are neither 'subscribers' or 'active.'
power consumption (and cooling requirements) of 12 15k RPM disks is through the roof compared to a SSD. RAID isn't always the answer.

Deep blue was tuned to beat Kasparov, just like any human player adjusts his game depending on who he plays. But Deep Blue was built to win against anyone, and competed in many computer chess events during its development.
read some of Schwartz's blog entries. Sun hates IBM. Also, Sun already offers servers running Solaris on AMD processors; they wouldn't gain anything by porting to another commodity CPU.

"correct strings are more probable than incorrect" doesn't "enforce" correctness at all.

It shares nothing with The Bard's Tale from the 80's besides the name. Alas.

I remember Sonic on the Game Gear in particular was wayyyyyy ahead of anything the GB or GBC could do, and not just palette-wise.

My experience has been that saying MySQL can't handle load is like saying it gets hot in Texas in the summer. :)
That's the exact opposite of most peoples' experience.

Back in the 6.x days postgresql had a well-deserved reputation for being, well, slow. That was back in the '90s, though.
