And what's wrong with that for legacy compatibility? Non-FAT32 filesystems are the defaults, and that's the way it should be. What, would you rather no modern OS even support reading FAT32, much less writing it?
If they'd used two white people, one in black clothing, then you'd have people bitching because the ads aren't "diverse" enough.
I think we just need to ban all use of the colors white or black for any purpose other than referring to race. Problem solved, right?
Why would they use a black person and a white person? Um, maybe because they were advertising the new white PSP, which will be "competing" against the older black PSP? What other possible similar situation could you think up that would not be worse than this one?
What practical difference does it make who is editing the movies? The unedited version is still available, and you're not being inhibited from purchasing that version.
"Artist's rights" my ass. Artists might have rights, but so do the viewers of such art. Like with anything in life, there has to be balance, and right now it's tipped too far towards the artist.
Sony had three ads - one where a white woman was holding a black woman by the chin, one wherre the black woman was overpowering the white one, and one that looked more neutral. Of course, everyone screamed "racist", spread the news about the first one, but not the other two. It just took me five minutes to find a site that had the other images. If you go to Google News and search for "sony racist ad" you'll overwhelmingly see only the first image.
Except it's not censorship. Censorship means that you can't legally view the content even if you choose to. This is someone choosing to view it the way they want it, without infringing on your right to view the unedited version. I hate prudes like the next progressive, but I also hate it when people call something "censorship" when it's not.
And, for the record, I don't even buy into the "only government can censor" bullshit. If I buy the rights to a particular piece of offensive content, cleanse it, and forbid anyone else from making the original available, then I'm censoring that piece of content. Take Disney, for example, with things like "Fantasia" being edited to remove what they perceive as "racial overtones", or the suppression of "Song of the South". I call that censorship even though the government has nothing to do with it.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that./ should do something heretofore unprecedented - they should add the phrase "British Pornographic Industry" to the lameness filter and adjust it so any presence of that string causes the comment to be blocked, even if it's three words within a 500-word post. That'll end it.

As far as I know, the only one of those consoles that doesn't have some sort of flash memory, is the NES. The problem, of course, is mapper support. I do seem to remember someone working on a flashcart with support for the most common mappers, but I haven't heard anything recently. Even then, a common cart containing the desired mapper can be modified to accept EPROMs (although this is admittedly harder that merely downloading a ROM to the cart).

"ZeroDay" is too buzzwordish. Plus, bicapitalization is lame.
I saw FFS and thought "since when can any major OS read the Amiga's FastFileSystem?"
Who in their right mind would use NTFS as a root fs for any *ix OS? That's about as smart as wanting to use UMSDOS for your root.

Oh, right, I should have read a bit deeper. My bad.
What does VMware have to do with open source?

Fucking oversensitive bastards.
And yet more of the mindset that people have a right not to be offended. That in itself offends me, so I demand retribution.

It's about time you got your head out of your ass and looked at the other two images.
What about the other two images? Do they bother you as well? If not, you're a reverse racist.
They did have something like that.
It wasn't racist at all. Here's why:
Sony had three ads - one where a white woman was holding a black woman by the chin, one wherre the black woman was overpowering the white one, and one that looked more neutral. Of course, everyone screamed "racist", spread the news about the first one, but not the other two. It just took me five minutes to find a site that had the other images.

You're an idiot. Every single thing you nitpicked was correct before. Every single one of them.

Or if you can't figure out how to prevent the fingerprints from getting on the machine in the first place. It's not that difficult.
It's times like this that I wonder why more commercial discs don't include CD-Text, and why more players don't support them.
I don't see anything there that authorizes the BSA to raid anyone.
You must be new here.
Bullshit. As I understand it, the Master System completely trounced the NES in the UK.
You're telling me that you honestly believe that there's been noone that has ever stuck a stick of dynamite up their ass or pussy?
Bullshit. Everyone knows that, no matter how depraved or out there, if you can think up a sexual fetish, there's someone out there who gets off on it.

If you have a processor that executes millions of instructions per cycle, then why are you posting on /. instead of getting rich?
