That's how I used to live, both as a student and fresh out of university. Then I got married and grew up. I may be able to live in a box in SF but I sure as hell am not going to force my family into that kind of "immature" lifestyle.
No, but the interface is vastly superior to Google Maps, which is its AJAX equivalent. So, the answer to the story is a resounding no. AJAX apps will not threaten Windows (or any) desktop.
Had the question been "Will AJAX enhance the Windows desktop?", the answer would have been yes. Of course, AJAX will enhance Mac, linux, bsd, whatever desktops, but that's not 'news'. Sadly, "X threatens Microsoft" is seen as news round these parts.
Of course it is, you fuckwit. That's the point. Because the terrorists are doing it doesn't is PRECISELY why we shouldn't do it--it's a terrorist act, and it's illegal. Places like Abu Ghraib and Gitmo make the USA party to the terrorist acts, not above them like we should be.
Try telling that to the RA RA HUUUUUUURGH pigfuckers you know.
Extra points for a eliciting a response of "but them tharr darn terrist folks behead people omglol!?! we should torture them!!"
Very true. Although, this thing has firewire ports, doesn't it? Not trying to give fanboy excuses but there's always the option of having external firewire drives. It'd be nice to easily take your entertainment/home videos with you when you went home from university, visited friends and family etc. Firewire storage offers that option at an affordable price. Whether we'll be able to store media on firewire devices is another story though....
Bear in mind Sony don't seem to be marketing this as a games machine. They're going for the ever-elusive home entertainment hub market, so yes, any sized hard drive isn't going to be enough. ".. it only comes with a 4gb drive? How am I supposed to store all my home movies on it?"
It supposedly has slots for CF, SD, MS flash, so perhaps, like the PSP, it'll come with a flash card. Although, hopefully, unlike the PSP, it'll come with more than 32MB;-)
Remember that train wreck a few months ago in, I think, California? It was caused by some guy attempting to commit suicide and then backing out at the last minute. He ran away and left his car on the tracks. Massive carnage, disruption and 11 people lost their lives. Anyway, what amount of carnage, disruption and casualties would we see if 20 'daggum terrists' around the country simultaneously left cars, trucks, car/truck bombs etc on rail tracks? What if they did it again the next day/week/month in 20 other locations? All that would take would be 20 people and 20 vehicles. No special equipment, no special training, no special skills. That this, or other such simple attacks, hasn't happened yet is proof that there aren't hundreds of AlKayduhhh cells across the US just waiting to blow you up as you're striding through Walmart looking at oversized clothes eating your freedom fries.
Install Redhat9 then try to use Redhat's autoupdate feature... oops - they dropped support for that ages ago. Seems MS isn't alone in dropping support for old operating systems - of course, when MS does it they're evil. Sure, there's nothing stopping you manually adding the latest Firefox to RH9, but equally there's nothing stopping you doing the same to Win2k. Score -3 Troll no doubt.
I just moved out to the US from the UK. I had 34 days paid holiday in the UK which seemed to be the norm among my peers. I'll be lucky if I can take a week off in my US job.
Outlook is not the real key to beat Microsoft on the Office front - but Exchange.
No, you have it backwards. The lock-in is with Outlook, not Exchange. Nobody cares what's running in the server room and Outlook generally plays well with other vendors' server offerings. The sticking point is having to retrain everyone to use a different application for email, calendar, discussions, collaboration etc (not to mention syncing with all manner of handheld devices).
That doesn't matter anymore. I was watching 24 a few days ago - a screen filled the shot for a few seconds with some huge CISCO software running - the character then said something along the lines of "oh, no, our CISCO network is self healing." I turned to my wife to comment on that blatant advertising and when I turned back the camera was zooming in on some guy typing away on an ALIENWARE laptop - the logo was on screen for a while too.
Advertisers aren't stupid - they're getting their eyeball quota...
Does anyone care about HD? Yeah, of course. Do enough people care about HD that eliminating (or simply never producing) lower-resolution formats makes sense?
Does anyone care about DVD? Yeah, of course. Do enough people care about DVD that eliminating (or simply never producing) VHS formats makes sense?

I hear this all the time, mainly from high-school kids or the kind of immature person who thinks they're a computer guru because they use IRC or download "warez". So.. If this is so easy, go ahead. You said 15 minutes but to be fair I'll wait a couple of hours. If I don't see a message like "hacked by prof666" on the front page I'll assume you're a karma-whoring troll with about as much tech-savvy as my young, "guru" relatives.
I may have migrated our web servers from IIS4 on NT4 to apache on debian as soon as I got the chance but that doesn't mean I'm not able to call bullshit on typical wannabe geeks slating MS software with no real knowledge of why they're slating it.
If you posted a comment on an image your account got banned and you had to pay to reregister. On any other forum you'd get ignored or at the worst your post would get nuked. But banned? you wouldn't get a temporary ban from any free forum that I frequent, so for a forum which will charge to unban you that's inexcusable
So don't go back - vote with your feet if you feel that strongly about it. I'm not a subscriber to the SA forums but if I was I'd abide by the rules - they don't owe me anything and you shouldn't feel that they owe you anything either.
Meh.. The internet's not supposed to work like this. Why don't the BBC and China, for that matter, set up their own private networks if they don't want outlanders hitting their servers?
Yeah, and while we're at it, how dare people use VPNs across the internet to stop unwanted people hitting their servers. How dare anyone encrypt anything - information wants to be free, right?
Maybe, just maybe, this UK-only clause has something to do with letting those who've paid for the content test the system. You did read the bit that said that "the pilot site will be using a technology called GEOIP filtering to ensure that content sourced directly from the BBC will only be available to UK citizens", didn't you?
They've started an open source video codec so viewers aren't going to be locked into QT, WMV, REAL etc, and they're not even using DRM! The things people find to moan about.. honestly!

Yeah, it's not as if Sony had already released a linux kit for the PS2 or anything...
Don't get me wrong - linux on PS3 is great news (if it's hackable) but this is evolution, not revolution.
