Macs are hightly integrated and are presented to the user as a whole package rather than having, for example, a Dell computer running Microsoft Windows XP.
Funny, that's the exact same reason most people don't like Mac:)
Not sure where you're going with this . . . you'd prefer the bullshit in the kernel itself, or you'd prefer people not have the ability to add the bullshit later . . . ?
And the reason the Virtual Boy failed was that it just wasn't fun. Think simplistic early-80s style games, in red-only line art. It was cool to borrow the store's demo, but I got my fill in about 2 minutes.
Perhaps some of the "line losers" remember events like when Super Mario Bros. 2 came out for NES. The wait time for that, after the first run sold out, was more like 5 weeks.
Well, he can do with his works as he likes, it's supposed to be a free country after all, isn't it ?
Sure he can, just like I'm free to criticize. I just think it's ridiculous to complete a novel, then suddenly change it to increase sales (which is exactly what's going on here). It suggests that the original novel was nothing special, and that the new novel is similarly mundane.
I know he's a Nobel prize winner and all . . . but I just can't respect an author that would change a finished work in response to the market. Seems pretty lame and un-Nobel-Prize-like to me.
there is such a huge boatload of crap out here that I hope that it get's to a point that the average human runs away from it.
How does this affect you at all? Presumably, you know where to find the stuff you like, so why does it matter that there are tons of highly commercial, fluff-filled sites out there?

Strictly speaking, "Luddite" is reserved for people opposed to technology, not science. I believe the word you're looking for is "Republican". *ducks*
Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool too . . . if I'm not mistaken, the totality was actually going on at the moment the game ended.

That, and the absurd pricing. *ducks*
Uh-oh, is Apple picking up on BSD's schtick?

The KDE-specific part of my boot takes about 10 seconds, on an old 600Mhz box . . . ?
Wow, a spelling error that still makes sense on a completely different level.
Next time it happens, move your valuables outside and let the motherfucker burn the house down. Be sure to get it all on videotape.
Where do you store the controllers?
Which, incidentally, is also the case in the McDonald's coffee lawsuit.

Why are you reading Slashdot?
Every time I see w2100z, my internal 1337-sp34k decoder kicks on. Then I realize it's the actual product name.

Sounds like DOS, but without the ability to share data between programs. Yuck.
Almost.
There was a time when I thought Ogg Vorbis held the title of "worst name ever". Then I read about the Hurd's name.
NEWater is PEOPLE!!
Speaking of, take a look at the label next time you're drinking Coca-Cola-brand Dasani. It contains freakin' salt.
I see . . . only Australians should run Windows in their cars. And South Africans. And Chileans. Hell, even some Canadians.

Not to mention the bad taste of announcing this just after Christopher Reeves' death, to ride on the free publicity.
