Evidently more than you. That wasn't funny, it was just incorrect and stupid. Now, if the Prius actually *did* have a battery life limit, then it might have been funny.

I believe the words "Illustrator killer" came after the phrase "where development is headed". No one said anything about Inkscape currently being an Illustrator killer.
I'm not defending this law, but the premise behind it is that Google is archiving the messages sent to Gmail users, the senders of which probably haven't agreed to the Gmail EULA.
What harm can one cause by smoking a cigarette in my own house without no one around. Yet the governments regulates it.
You're perfectly free to smoke as many cigarettes in your own house as you want. The government's not stopping you. However, if you're bitching about taxes (which I assume you are), then the reality is that smoking has certain costs to society - one of which is that smokers have a tendency to get lung cancer and expect the government to pay for treatment. That money has to come somewhere, and the only logical place is from smokers.
By the way, web browsers automatically wrap lines. You don't have to hit Enter after every ten words.
The reason government regulates cigarettes and booze is because your use of them can cause harm to other people. Government is not protecting you from yourself, it protecting others from you.
That said, this anti-GMail legislation is mind-bogglingly stupid.
If you read the entire article, you'd have seen his response at the bottom:
P.S.: Some readers have pointed out that my lanuage above was unclear in one respect. It is perfectly legal for Microsoft to have lifted code from BSD. But we only know about this because the way TCP/IP implementations respond to certain odd packet types is underspecified in the standard, and it is possible to build family trees of code derivation through behavioral analysis.
The point is this: Microsoft (legally) took BSD code, and the only way we know about it is through behavioural analysis. So how do we know commercial outfits haven't taken code illegally?
Windows. NT 4.0 ran on PPC, newer versions do too (although those ports are unreleased). MS also owns Virtual PC, so there's a good deal of emulation tech they could use if needed.
That's like saying "This quad-proc Opteron server is comparable to a PalmPilot, because the PalmPilot costs 1/40th the price." That's not what "comparable" means.
"Comparable" my ass. The XBox Next has a G5 (several if you believe the rumors). Linare's $199 box has a 1.3Ghz Duron. The current XBox has Dolby Digital surround sound, presumably XBox Next will too. Linare's got one AC97 stereo line-out jack. XBox Next will probably have a GFX card on the level of the Geforce 6800 or Radeon X800, complete with HDTV out. The Linare comes complete with an "8x AGP slot for graphics card".

Who says the 4G iPods won't play them?
The iPod also supports USB 2.0.
That is, if your lossless format is uncompressed WAV. FLAC generally gets bitrates of 500-800kbps - only 2 or 3 times a 256kbps MP3.
Not reading the article I can understand, but not reading the fucking summary?
Toshiba today announced that it will offer a 60GB version of its 1.8-inch hard drive in the coming months and that Apple has already placed its order.
Sure you can, if you've got the USB cable. It only works on 2K and XP (preferably w/ USB 2.0), but it does work.
No. 9700 = kickass. 9700 binary driver = suck.

I see.
You're paying $100 for new games? Are these US dollars we're talking about?
It's nothing all that impressive. Not worth rusty getting nearly as irritated about it as he has.
Sorry, no high-end card from ATI or NVidia currently has open-source 3D drivers. The fastest you'll get are the Radeon 9x00 cards, where x 5.
Maybe not, but a number can be illegal under the DMCA.
That's how it works on Windows too. I don't know what the parent was talking about.
REAL men know that they can hit Ctrl-L to pop up a filename input box.

For the games, perhaps?
The sad thing is that it can't actually play any of those image formats, Sony's software reencodes them all as JPG.
Forgive me for not being impressed.
