It seems to me that there really isn't very good dlc out there. This gta dlc just sounds like a few added in missions. Same for fallout 3. I actually downloaded the 'extra level' in star wars force unleashed, and I was so ticked off that my $10 bought about 10 minutes of play time, for something without any new powers or anything interesting in it, just the same repeated stuff on a short level.
The only decent dlc out there imho is rockband/guitar hero song packs and the cod4 map pack, but now I'm starting to regret it even that because it seems to be a 50/50 chance between getting one of the 10 or so old maps, and getting one of the three new ones.
Maybe I'm just missing the good dlc out there, and I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
These patches really lock security down on my vista computer. I mean there is no way anybody is exploiting anything after I apply these patches. Yep, no one is getting an ounce of data, even me, its that secure. I mean, you can try, but I'm pretty sure the bsod keeps everyone out. Until that day when I embrace the blue screen thoroughly, I'll have to run on my un-patched insecure computer.
I just saw the chrome add for hulu the other day, and I must say, I love chrome and I like the idea of them advertising it, but the comercial just kinda looked goofy.
it's a shame so many people are turned off Linux because their work requires exactly this or that application.
No, most people are turned off Linux because they see it to be complicated. Most people have never installed an operating system before, much less one that has so many differences. Improvements, yes, but most people don't see it that way.
In fact, many people I bring up Linux to don't even understand what an operating system, or in many cases even what Windows is. Yes these people aren't computer experts, but they make up the majority of all computer users. They just don't understand or care what the difference is.
Yes Linux is better. Yes it isn't as hard to use as people make it out to be, but its still too complex to set up for Joe user (seeing as even Windows is too complex to set up for the majority of these users). Until it starts shipping preinstalled on more computers than the handful it does now, this will not change.
As per wine, wine has made leaps and bounds recently for usability, but again, setting up the vast majority of programs in wine still requires some special tweaking, and again most users are either too technologically incompetent or lazy to bother when they have something that they can just slap in a cd and it works because its a native operating system.

Because they are good at performing repetitive motions with their fingers
Damn! You just reminded me of two things i can put on my resume.
