I gnew someone would point that out, and it's kinda ironic, but it doesn't affect my point. gnaughty is not part of GNOME, and certainly not a major GNOME app.
GNOME? Prefacing everything wih a 'G'? I think Anjuta, Abiword, Balsa, Epiphany, Evolution, File Roller, F-Spot, Inkscape, Mergeant, Nautilus, Rhythmbox, Totem, and XChat would take issue with that assertion.
Well, for starters, the genre's physics and basic premise hasn't really changed since Quake
Physics haven't changed since Quake? Where've you been? Part of the draw of next-gen games like Doom 3, HL2, and Unreal 2004 is the much improved physics engine. That stuff is pretty CPU-intensive. For that matter, even GPU-accelerated graphics still tax the CPU pretty heavily.
It's inherent in an interpreted language like TI-Basic that it'll be slower and less powerful than raw assembly. A tetris program written in assembly, like ZTetris, is going to wipe the floor with a Basic tetris program, especially if the Basic program is an inefficient one written on the calculator by an inexperienced coder.
hat else costs people more than grade 11 students passing around $4000 copies of 3D Studio in hallways over and over again, let alone on the internet?
Just about anything? 11th graders would never have bought 3D Studio in the first place. Their copying costs people nothing (might even help Discreet, if they learn to use it and later get a job involving it).
Your logic is completely screwy. Obviously, a new movie/game/album will be pirated more *right now* than old content, because there's more demand for it. However, if you compared the total downloads of all older content vs. the totals for stuff released in the past x days/months, the older stuff would dwarf the new stuff. The reason it doesn't show up on your list is that with old content, the downloads are distributed over a huge library of stuff, whereas downloads for new stuff all go towards the few things that are being released right now.
It's not worth it. Hard drive space goes for about $0.50 per gigabyte these days. With Google, you've got several of orders of magnitude slower transfer, no guarenteed reliability, and no guarentee that your files won't be wiped. Why the hell would you bother?
That's right, most people don't. I don't know where you've been, but the majority of the American public does not own an iPod. Maybe 1% have an MP3 player of any sort.
Motion is a common English word. The motion.sf.net people don't have it trademarked. Apple is creating an unrelated product that doesn't compete in the same arena as motion.sf.net. Why shouldn't they be able to call their product Motion?
Of course. But the grandparent poster didn't seem to be advocating Powerpoint presentations, he supported "computerized classes" with no textbooks - which, to me, implies that you go in and sit in front of a computer, working through a teaching program. That would not be a step forward.
If you're falling asleep in math/science class, then either your teacher sucks, you don't like the subject, or you're staying up too late. Computerized classes solve none of those problems.
Still, Firefox's Googlebar doesn't implement any of the features that require info to be sent to Google. If it did, it would have the same privacy issues as IE's Googlebar.
Firefox doesn't have Google toolbar functionality. It has a Google search box, but that's it. It doesn't support any of the other features of the toolbar (like viewing Pagerank). If all you want is a Google search box, you can get the that and more in IE by installing the Google toolbar and telling it not to communicate with Google.

The Pepsi caps allow you to freely download any song, not just the free songs of the day/week that Apple just started offering.

Just because English is one of the official languages of the Philippines doesn't mean all Filipinos speak English as a first language.
Or just apt-get install them.

ZTetris on the TI-83 is great. Of course games programmed on-calc in ti-basic are gonna suck. That's not the calculator's fault.
The things I can imagine doing with one's hands during a movie don't require a desk lamp.
Yes. It uses MS's own DLLs, which won't work on non-MS platforms.

The reason why laptops have mice built in is that sometimes you can't use an external mouse.

Google hasn't done an Easter logo since 2001. This is nothing new.

The media has barely covered gmail. This stuff is posted on /. because /.ers are interested in it.
