more accurately the Internet was invented to drop cross continental nukes on the USSR from anywhere also the computer got invented to stop getting sunk by "ze Germans"
I don't know if I would like to be a part of this program but the thought of "nuke ninja" is hilarious. maybe icesurfer want's to help!
being a FF fanboi/sucker with decent resources I can assure you that FF13 looked much better on PS3 than on 360. there, citation:-)
Really I'm ok with the way things stand now, my argument wasn't so much about bashing the 360 but about pointing out that sony did it wrong this time (with the PS3) and to make a preface into "Sony are doing it wrong again (PSP Vita memory sticks)". I know my language might be misleading and riddled some times...
Ok, 1 can be seen that way, you are correct but for 2) no. telcos should just ban most of their phone "services". In my country you can call pretty much any mobile phone serivces company (if you have a contract with them and call from the subscribed sim) and request to upgrade your plan. Seriously, some only validate the name and birthday. No account ids no personal data. You could easily upgrade someone who went to the toilet and let him worry about the 48month legislative hell you have to go through to get a phone company to release their "recorded converstions" to court and prove it wasn't you who ordered the upgrade.
Haven't really completed a project on drupal but from some literature I skipped through and some tinkering I got the impression that it is very close to module hell. Also I don't think that having a site up quick (that quick) is that important when you build a site that needs to be implemented in a framework. I mean if you want to produce sites in a couple of days for a couple of Benjamins just learn joomla and wordpress and off you go. Frameworks are for doing more custom tailored stuff, stuff that if worth developing will have a longer development deadline.
Indeed. What matters more at this point is how many more consoles sony will be able to push until the 360 gets retired by the 720. Sony did produce a superior console but pretty much shot themselves in the foot with the 12-18 month delay to the 360. The console that still has juice in it might well be the PS3 and that's what I have installed in my living room but as I see it microsoft has set its eyes on leaping sony with shorter console lifetimes and so once the PS3 starts making a lead they will push out the next Xbox leaving sony once again in the background.
I don't really care about most of your remarks, even though I agree with most of them. One thing to notice is that: While the sony motion controls may look silly they do have much much better response compared to the kinect and the Wii. that's from my own experience at least.
Well, that all might be true but 1) that is not a hole in auth, it is a policy hole in the fourth party (carrier) 2) I believe, since the carrier is bound legally to the person with a contract to allow him and only him to use that telephone number, they should be fined a humongous sum and charged for criminal offenses for a) toying with customer private data b) invalidating their contract to said customer c) not having clear policy for such things d) being a company while apparently they can't even approximate the digestive output of a monkey having eaten rotten bananas. Another way to handle such mishaps would be to stone the rep along with every single one of his superiors. public skewering might also work.... Damn did I get infuriated by this!
I can recall people calling the Internet the tele{something} bubble of the 90s -memory doesn't serve well since I was quite young back then- social is an aspect of the human condition therefore it's digitized and networked counterpart will always be an aspect of the Internet whether it will be centralized or not. Facebook is not a bubble because it isn't inflated right now. its assets and production aren't publicly traded, money tanks cannot (proportionately) moderate it's perceived value.
Agreed, Internet history suggests that this venture will again be replaced with something else. Still I would just to conclusions just now. Facebook still has shitloads of money, followers like never before, participation is at very high levels (maybe starting to taper of at geek demographics because of g+) the company is still very consistent (they only develop one product, hear this google?)...
All social places I remember started to feel like a zoo -to me- one or two years before they started to decline, I'm not sure facebook has reached that point in its trajectory. I'm sure that in the future fb will be less central in the Internet social landscape but I don't think that future is very near.
even if they don't use that one (even though I believe some gov orgs are already benefiting) they still have the possible Authority of Identity throne. Now how happy would I be if only facebook could tell me who I am?
Didn't they also sell real estate from the right column of their frontend? I remember Microsoft having put a great deal of money into that. If google can continue getting rich from adds why shouldn't facebook?
the story "Usually coupled with a lot of FUD" has been circling the facebooks, g+s and reddits for about a week(?) now. Mass media have also gotten attention to it, I saw it on the news yesterday on a b side channel..
What I still can't fathom is why apple was shipping it "disabled" by default.... misplaced bits?
ouch! pretty much any orientation you put it in... No mobile device/touchscreen gestures/paradigms I have witnessed scale well. It hurts to say this but apple almost did it right with the trackpad. the only thing it needed was a couple more inches of surface (and resolution).
Slashdot Mirror
regular expression joke?
no need to. just use /dev/null as a labeler ;-)
here's another ridiculous idea:
watch them..
from behind!

Some times I wish this wasn't true..
Some times I just wish I didn't know it..
What?!?!!? you mean electricity isn't a mystery???????

Burn them I say, burn them while you still can!

All the ones you can conceive of plus at lest one!
they do have a cli on their website though lithify.me
that must count for something!

I wish I could also have something to say about the OP but as things stand I couldn't care less about portable playstations. Using proprietay stuff only might work with an RDF®© but for the psp it definately is the wrong move and shows just how much they want to control the homebrew culture. The one thing I am curious about is if they have to price them higher because proprietary production is costlier than standardized or because they just want to milk it?

not to mention medium format cameras like Hasselblad..
btw it's been only a couple of years that full frame DSLRs got into the resolution 35mm fine grain film has.
Thank god they were """"idiots"""" then!

usually expansion
some times bailouts of failed sisters
some philosophers once dreamed of it going into R&D

No, they used Java because they are idiots
but as stated in the previous reply they at least managed to offload a lot of important stuff to other layers.
Is your desktop OS touchscreen savvy?
umm.. Yes. It is.
using Android in full 23" glory!
ouch! pretty much any orientation you put it in...
