    false. They are selling a product that takes away freedoms that the vast majority of it's customers don't realize they want or don't care about (yet). No one wants to be locked down, spin-doctor.

    How can you tell? Can you get a shell? Can you get busybox running? I'd love to get into my tv.

    Bit more glaring that utilizing software glitches to game the stock market still appears to be unprosecutable.

    What is this, a contest to see who's worse? They didn't have to change their stance; the court case was over. IMO they lost integrity by doing so.

    But those "minimal changes" also bring down the price. And yes by that much. Your laptop will cost 400 in 3 years. People will say the same for your laptop that you say about the PS3.io will s is coming from someone wh
        But the cell architecture is more than just the sum of it's parts. It allows for a parallel processing ability that is simply unavailable in a cisc environment. The Air force bought 220 of 'em to hook up together for a reason, not for a lark. And this is coming from someone who swore off Sony after the rootkit fiasco.
    The hardware is impressive for the price, it's ebay level. Your PC is elite level, so it costs more just for status.

    Paying it back isn't the goal. You have to have debt for [our current] system to run.

    I bet they have all sorts of odd research and writing they could use help.

    So basically if you try to compare your new laptop with an old PS3, they are roughly the same? i think I'm reading this wrong.

  11. Re:Epic Fail? WTF? on Playstation 3 Code Signing Cracked For Good · · Score: 1

    It's well over 5 times the price as well.

  12. What's this mean for linux? on Playstation 3 Code Signing Cracked For Good · · Score: 2

    So does this mean a hypervisor free linux is around the corner? I may change my stance on buying a PS3.

    Not correct, I have a cr-48 and I can save a file to USB or SD card. Reading one on the other hand, is out of the picture.

  15. Re:Vacation time on Corporations Hiring Hooky Hunters · · Score: 1

    When I worked as a waiter through college I would get 0 days off a year.

    That's sort of a misnomer. One of the things I loved about waiting tables was the option to switch shifts with someone. I could rearrange my schedule to take a week off without impacting the overall schedule at all. Conversely I could pick up shifts for extra pay if was feeling tight. It wasn't paid time off, but it still was a nice perk.

    I like how you brits make your laws rhyme:

  21. So close on NASA's Stunning Close-Up Photos of Comet Hartley 2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think one of our best bets on searching our galaxy would be to shoot a probe that burrows into one of these far reaching comets. It would give us a better observable range, and chances are that other intelligent life would be interested in observing the comet as well, should there be any.

  22. Re:you can do this with drugs too on Scientists Overclock People's Brains · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I like to phrase it like this:

    Drugs are like cheat codes on video games. They can be a lot of fun, and you might see and do things you wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. But then it starts to get boring, and playing without the cheat code starts to feel unsatisfying (or to difficult). Unfortunately you can't switch to a different video game because with drugs it's your life that you're playing.

  23. Re:and what temperature are they good to? on Agloves Allow For Touchscreen Use On Cold Days · · Score: 3, Funny

    we dip down as low as -42 degrees. (that's in Celsius, but it's the same temperature as fahrenheit.)

    Actually that was Fahrenheit, you would write Celsius as -42 degrees. It's an easy mistake to make.

    But this attitude of "I'm above all that" is pie the sky at best and dangerous at worst

    I believe the attitude is "I'm beneath all this and it's crushing me and the idea of voting for which foot is doing the crushing is frankly appalling."
