And this right here is going to be the rope that hangs Sony when the inevitable class-action rolls around. I'm surprised we don't have lawyers jumping on this already.
Maybe it's not on the box, but it was on the website, is probably somewhere in the user manual & was lauded as a feature of the PS3 at launch. I'm going to go ahead right now & predict that this will either end up costing Sony a good bit of money or they will realize how badly they've exposed themselves & re-enable the feature.
For all you people with a hard time wrapping your head around the whys, just replace "ability to run Linux" with "ability to play Blu-Ray DVDs."
Free Market this, free market that. Two things. One, there is no such thing as a free market. Two, the last thing the "free market" solved was Soviet Russia.
The Internet has empowered the Chinese people more than the combined effects of 30 years of [economic] growth, urbanization, exports, and investments by foreign firms.
This, along with their human rights violations & lack of good global citizenship sounds like a really good reason to cut them off to me.
I just installed Opera & Chrome to do a little "taste test". I opened all three browsers & pointed them to Slashdot. One tab open for each one. According to Process Explorer, here is the memory footprint for each program.
Firefox = 214,832 K Chrome = 111,820 K & 105,376 K Opera = 218,212 K
I'm not seeing a big difference here.
This is on a Athlon Phenom II X4 955 w/ 4 GB of DDR3 running WinXP SP3.
Not at all. I *love* Firefox & don't really think it's bloated. Even if it was I'd still use it because I really hate browsing the web without all my lovely extensions.

IBM & Red Hat are profitable, right?
Oh you mean the one that is running for Senate?

If California elects that crooked bitch, they'll get exactly what they deserve.
I'm sure with all the available laptops & servers they can look thru that they will find something damning.
Oh I agree. Never ever cooperate with the police. Ever. It quite literally cannot do you any good.
They only two things you ever need to ask the cops if you are a suspect in something are:
1.) Am I under arrest?
2.) If the above is no, "Can I go now?"

RTFA ... SHE invoked HER Fifth Amendment rights.
Which will just make things worse for her when the logs are read & the forensics finished.
Not true at all, fortunately.

"The ALA must know that numerous studies show that, absent the tobacco smoke, nicotine is relatively harmless and comparable to caffeine."
WTF?
Caffeine's LD50 is 150-200mg / kg.
Nicotine's LD50 is 40–60 mg / kg.
Sounds like nicotine is almost 3 times more toxic than caffeine to me.
We're kinda fucked though if China gains technological dominance though weak copyright rules.
Then we already fucked because China doesn't care about copyrights & our stupid ass CEOs are basically giving them the technology to undercut us with.

It still has to travel thru email servers & routers costing money via electrical & bandwidth costs.
Apology Accepted. I really did need to clear off a little space on my hard drive, but I'll probably reinstall DDO eventually.

Damn that is kinda shady. Oh well, I've been needing to clear of some space on the old hard drive, & that's a really good reason for DDO to go.
I would too if he actually got us a UFO to study. Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable.
This is like Nintendo suing Sony because I can't play The Legend of Zelda on a PS3.
Unfortunately for Adobe, Apple isn't a monopoly in any area.
I just don't understand the point in having both personas & themes is all.

Three times is enemy action.

Not themes, personas. Themes have been around for a long long time, but I think the personas as silly & superfluous.
The motherboard on my PC has 8 USB ports & you could add more with a USB dock.
No it's not, it's just bad grammar.
They should have taken the money & ran.
