Windows ME is NOT an evil force that's trying to eat your children and lock you in the basement.
(That's what clowns are for.)
I AM a big fan of ME because it gave us the greatest repair tool EVER for a windows OS short of doing a format/reinstall... System Recovery. When I did tech support for a major pc vendor, undoing windows hiccups like drivers suddenly up going away(and it happened in windows 98SE too, alot) became waaay easier.

yeah but pure RGB coming out of the AV Socket is still pure RGB.
So just take that nifty SCART connection and use that to connect your ps3 to your tv.
The focus here is on technology and techno-fetishism, something the vast majority of the buying public doesn't care about.
I disagree completely.
Ask Joe Sixpack about HDTV, Xbox360, iPods, DVRs, or any other desirable electronics consumer product. The buying public LOVES techno toys, when they're easy enough to use and do something that entertains them or otherwise enriches thier lives.
what you fail to realize is that we as a country only pay thier salaries if we actually buy the tickets, buy the official products, watch the games on tv, etc.
So let sports nuts blow thier cash on that. I'll spend my money on something else.
That's a cute over generalization of products geared towards a niche enthusiast markets.
Simply put, it has an obnoxiously high resolution, a button layout with FPSes and other games in mind, and and an adjustable weight system. Someone who was a gamer designed this mouse.
The same thing could be said about performance auto parts, like lightweight wheels. I mean, who needs light, alloy wheels when my heavy, stock wheels can do the same job?
Slashdot Mirror
I need multiple audio file format support!
It's not my fault Norweigan garage punk bands who distribute thier music via the web can't decide between ogg, vqf, mp3 and wma!
I'm sorry but you have that backwards. Exceptional engineers are far less common than exceptional saleman.
Italicized for truth.
Dell is a company founded by a brilliant salesman and a lousy engineer.
I'd have an answer but it'ss till buffering.
It's caturday!
Thanks Cmdr Taco!
I AGREE.

AFAIK, Ken Kutaragi once told the Sony board to take content control and shove it.
But I can't find the source so...
I'll be out making money while you do that.
Firefly sucked.
Get over it.
Joss Whedon is a hack.
Climb, as in, to go up.
Just because you can push it down the stairs doesn't mean it counts.
The funny thing is, is that my HD set from *2* years ago isn't a top of the line model and it -does- include HDMI and HDCP support.
There's always investing in a ROM burner and keeping a fresh copy of your BIOS ROM handy in case that becomes a problem.
Of course, if this super VM based virus takes over the firmware on your optical drive too...

If they made their processors slower, then they would be "innovating"? What do you want processors to do, really?
Lower power consumption? Lower heat output to the point where I don't need a Rube Goldberg Device?
Okay. more consumer goods for me.
*shrug* I see no reason to hate a company for various stumbles and fuckups.
I sure hope that Jeopardy and other shows filmed at Sony Television studios doesn't install a root kit into your tv too.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh.
Like Sony's optical drive division has anything to do with the DRM Rootkit...
but it *still* happens.
it's been happening since the SNES days, if not earlier.
I know for a FACT Metal Slug 3 would slow down at random spots. That was for the 500USD NEO GEO. The cart cost more than X360 Value Pack.
However, the console's gimmick is that not every game does it and if it does, it's consistent.
that reminds me of one of the most intimidating things a girlfriend's mom EVER told me.
"We always coded in assembler. We never let the compiler do all the work for us."
I crapped myself right then and there.
A) New variant of that.
B) If this IS a dupe that means that the virus has duplicated and spread!
yeah, but like in the Archemedes myth, they're willing to owe up to it.

That they bring Guilty Gear XX #Slash to the states before they realize selling value titles isn't a good idea either...
Between several big rigs, a boom lift, etc...
You're bitching about a bottle of coke?!?
