Sony shipped one million PS3s in the year 2006 alone. Source:
That's at least one million Blu-Ray players in the USA. I have a PS3 and I watch Blu-Ray more than I play games thanks to NetFlix's Blu-Ray inventory.
yes libs, we stole the election
on
Who won?

It was all part of the evil Karl Rove trifecta of evil. First we stole the election, then we steered hurricane Katrina right into New Orleans (with the patented Karl Rove Neocon Magic Weather Machine), and to complete the hat trick we blew up the levies to flood the black parts of town. It was a great success, just like the time we went back in time with Microsoft Word 1972 edition to make a fool out of Dan Rather.
Conservative radio has revived the AM band since the death of the Fairness Doctrine. Bringing it back would spell the death of AM radio. Left wing radio just doesn't sell. You get the left's message when you watch the evening news or read pretty much any newspaper or read Slashdot and other political blogs. There's no demand for another source of liberal media.
The Dems would love to silence AM radio because it's the only source of media that isn't dominated by leftists.
Gran Turismo HD and Motorstorm demos are both outstanding, I spent a couple of hours playing each. Also Tekken 5 is available for Japan and Hong Kong accounts (USA users can create a new user account to download). About $15 USD for the download, it's definitely worth it if you can get passed the non-English menus.
That's one million PS3s shipped TO THE US and only in 2006. One million does not include consoles shipped after the new year and consoles shipped to Japan at any date.
Bill Gates does not make $40 billion per year. He "only" has a net worth of around $50 billion. Around $29 billion of that will go to his charitable foundation, and the rest to other charities upon his death. Your $40 billion income / $2 million donation per year figures are way off scale.
I also challenge your view that you are some kind of superhero because you donate a bigger percentage of your income than Gates does (and YOU don't donate a bigger percentage FYI). It's not the thought that counts, it's the results. Bill Gates has donated more money than you will ever see in your lifetime. Your donation, while commendable, is nothing more than a pittance. The fact that you donate some large portion of your middle class income does not magically make more ill people well. It may make you feel better about yourself however.
What a bunch of idiots spending $3.50 for something "that only costs 10 in raw materials". That's outrageous, there should be laws against such idiocy. We should make economic freedom illegal.
Let's see your tax returns buddy. I hear your profit margin is pretty large, you made more than $50K last year? Why don't you pay Ethiopian farmers more.
The only way to pay 20% below market price for anything is by buying from a fool or by use of force. If the price of coffee is 20% less than it was a few months ago then that's still the market price.
I have watched 11 BD movies on my PS3 and none of them have hung the system. I have seen zero reports of BD movies hanging the PS3. You sir are a fanboi or a troll... or both.
I am writing to express my dismay and concern over Google's larcenous expedients. If you disagree with my claim that Google's assertion that those who disagree with it should be cast into the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve serves only to illustrate its ignorance and poorly hidden bigotry, then read no further. If priggism were an Olympic sport, Google would clinch the gold medal. I indisputably hope that humanity will rid this earth of sinister nabobs of racism with the greatest dispatch, since otherwise, the earth might well become rid of humanity. It's easy for armchair philosophers to theorize about Google and about hypothetical solutions to our Google problem. It's an entirely more difficult matter, however, when one considers that honor means nothing to it. Principles mean nothing to it. All it cares about is how to feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations.
Google has delivered exactly the opposite of what it had previously promised us. Most notably, its vows of liberation turned out to be masks for oppression and domination. And, almost as troubling, Google's vows of equality did little more than convince people that my long-term goal is to combat the fastidious ideology of sesquipedalianism that has infected the minds of so many infantile pothouse drunks. Unfortunately, much remains to be done. As you may have noticed, if Google could have one wish, it'd wish for the ability to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. Then, people the world over would be too terrified to acknowledge that we must educate, inform, and nurture our children instead of keeping them ignorant, afraid, and in danger. As an interesting experiment, try to point this out to it. (You might want to don safety equipment first.) I think you'll find that Google says it is within its legal right to make serious dialogue difficult or impossible. Whether or not it indeed has such a right, that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. The idea of letting Google advocate its subliminal psywar campaigns amid a hue and cry as complacent as it is semi-intelligible is, in itself, vicious. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that its circulars are not just retroactively ineffective but proactively inert? I have a problem with Google's use of the phrase, "We all know that...". With this phrase, it doesn't need to prove its claim that embracing a system of parasitism will make everything right with the world; it merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, its secret passion is to change this country's moral infrastructure. For shame!
Some people don't seem to mind that Google likes to turn positions of leadership into positions of complacency. What a homophobic world we live in! Google is interpersonally exploitative. That is, it takes advantage of others to achieve its own pompous ends. Why does it do that? My answer is, as always, a model of clarity and the soul of wit: I don't know. However, I do know that it seems to assume that it is cunctipotent. This is an assumption of the worst kind because its antics are tactless but reflective of the localized normative attitudes among brain-damaged freaks of nature. It follows from this that Google's argument that might makes right is hopelessly flawed and utterly circuitous. Google doesn't care about freedom, as it can neither sell it nor put it in the bank. It's just a word to it. I would like to go on, but I do have to keep this letter short. So I'll wrap it up by saying that this is where the rubber hits the road.
Hans drove a CRX which is a popular car among street racers for its light weight. People remove the passenger seat, rear wiper, AC, and other parts from their CRXs all the time for additional weight reduction. The fact that Hans' passenger seat was removed is no shock, of all the cars on the road I'd guess that CRXs are most likely to have the seat taken out.
Nina's boyfriend Sean Sturgeon allegedly practices BDSM, raped Nina, engages in "death yoga", made death threats against Hans, cheated with a married woman, and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from Hans Reiser:
You code in assembly which can be directly transcribed to binary machine code, not the same thing as coding in binary. Nobody codes in binary, it's just stupid. Why remember long strings of opcode gibberish when you can just remember MOV, ADD, MULT, etc.
Fanboi alert. Have you checked Pricewatch in the past six months? Intel is kicking AMD's ass in price, performance, and price/performance at almost every price level.
When George W. Bush acts militarily to stop dictators from getting WMD he's called a liar, when he acts diplomatically he's called a failure. No wonder the guy doesn't give a damn what the left thinks of him. God bless America and God bless our Commander in Chief.
This article is a hit piece that has almost no content, we only have two small quotes from Newt himself one of which is shown to be taken badly out of context. Meanwhile we have liberals gone wild here on slashdot with everyone calling for Newt's execution. This folks is why they are called the drive by media. Shame on Drudge for linking to this crap.
Newt said free speech is bad. How do we know? Cuz a leftist newspaper told us so. I mean just check out these quotes from Newt:
"different set of rules" and
"We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade."
YES FOLKS, those are the only two relevant quotes from Newt in the entire article. No context presented, we just have to take THEIR WORD for it that Newt was talking about turning America into Nazi Germany.
This article is nothing more than a leftist hit piece and you people are falling for it. Please read the (bogus) article first before going on a posting jihad.
AT&T Corp., BellSouth Corp and Verizon Telecommunications are facing lawsuits seeking billions of dollars in damages for the decision to turn over calling records to the government, the New York Times reported Saturday.
The New York Times is the source for this BS, not Marketwatch. Funny how the New York Times published the same surveillance story four months ago, yet the USA Today rehashed it and now it's front page new again?
Anyway, according to the New York Times America is losing the war in Iraq. According to the New York Times, tax cuts are hurting America. According to the New York Times, the US economy is in the toilet despite record job growth, record economic growth and great performance by almost every other metric.
The New York Times seems to be at arms with reality, but this is slashdot so hey let's just leave their tarnished name off the front page.

Because we have accurate yearly temperature records going back 118,000 years right?
And why was it warmer 118,000 years ago than it is today? Too many cavemen polluting with their Flintstone cars?
That's a little high to pay for a phone. Let's see what it can do first.

The fairest trade system in the history of man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism
1) Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3). Great shooter, great multiplayer.
2) Motorstorm (Japanese version, PS3). American version isn't out yet but the Japanese version rocks. Best racer ever.
3) NBA 2K7 (many systems, I have for PS3). Best graphics I've ever seen on a sports game and good gameplay.
4) Marvel Ultimate Alliance (many systems, I have for PS3). Marvel characters in an action RPG. What more can you ask for?
5) Ridge Racer 7 (PS3). A great driving sim.
