your initial premise "It has the best next-generation games available for any console by FAR, including some really killer online titles"
is an opinion not shared by everyone.
I'm not saying I believe it, however it is likely.
Basically, I hold that if you are born in the US, you are not an African-American, but just an American. If you immigrate to the United states from Africa, then you are an African-American. My Grandfather was Polish-American. I am an American. Granted not everybody agrees with me, because if we can't lable people we can't show how disadvantaged they are.

Give me a break I was lambasting his over developed sense of political correctness
-upgradeability
Translation: non-standard platform meaning developers spend more time and money on QA testing
-tweaking (isn't overclocking fun?)
Translation: waste of time
-possibility of updating the game, or installing expansion paks
Translation: Developers release game bugged cause they know they will patch it.
-game mods (as in Q3A)
Translation: 90% of game mods suck
-a monitor is way better than a TV in terms of quality
Translation: You graphics whore, gameplay is 90% of the fun.
-functionality other than playing games and watching DVDs
Translation: you must have missed being able to play psx games as well as the eventual online component
-most importantly: you can't run Linux on a PS II!!!
Translation: The PS2 runs a modified linux kernel.
That's because it's the standard video game console marketing plan. Sega and nintendo do exactly the same thing. Sell hardware for a loss, make profits by requiring developers to give them set amount of money per game sold
Anyone who has paid enough attention to actually respond to this story should have seen by now that the primary softare that runs the DC is sega's proprietary OS. Windows CE is a developer option and is included on the CE of any game that uses it (most don't).
Give me a break I have the necessary ingredients for thermite in my garage. I would suspect that most people with garages have them as well. Anyone with a search engine can make thermite.
Garbage and more garbage.
This statistic compares average wage of all working males to average wage of all working females. Which is essentially useless. It doesn't compare the wages of women to men in the same job.
Three kinds of lies and all that.
The MLA (which everyone but journalists and writers believe is total crap) can say what ever it wants to. Dictionaries often list both as acceptable, use whatever you like.
The USS Cole is a military ship. Blowing up a military ship is a military act. The president calling it a terroist act is what is known as propaganda.
Next thing, you'll hear that the British calling the Americans in the Revolutionary war cowardly terrorists.
Oh my gosh.... strategic defense missle initiative and there's radiation associated with it? ARRRGGGHHH Anyone have lead lined suits for sale?

You realise of course that Leonardo Chiariglione has just about as much credibility as the anonymous source (Basically None till we see something more credible).

The would rather rant about something ineffectual because in their minds it makes them more important. Sure they could change their options, but then they wouldn't be able to feel morally superior.

There are no geographical monopolies, get a different pop mail account.

It's already been done at 102K
Vermifax
Just like the guy did who jumped from 102K up.
Vermifax
The person who did this last took slightly more than 4 minutes to fall from 102k up. He broke the speed of sound for a bit as well. She will also.
Vermifax
Mach 1 is a slower speed way up there than down where airplanes normally fly.

the sound barrier without being in a vehicle (not including deceleration upon impact)
