The lengths I had to go to get my laptop working with Ubuntu were staggering.
Personally I don't think it's ready for mainstream as there are still loads of things that should be automatically installed by default (OpenOffice, FireFox, Email client).
So, what is everyone's vision of the definitive version?
Mine would simply be the original* cinema version with cleaned up picture and sound. Lucas should have stuck that on the two disk set along with the special re-re-release.
Anyone else?
*Personally though I do like the Death Star explosions in the Special Edition, they look more impressive.
Gapless Playback for iPod! Wonder if they will update the 5th gen with this?? Please???
Don't get too excited, MP3s encoded with too old a version of LAME would need to be re-encoded as these older version automatically padded the file. You should be fine with AAC though.
Some genres just don't work on Consoles and some just don't work on PCs.
For instance, Street Fighter or Tekken just don't work on PCs and RTS don't work on Consoles. One genre that I think works well on both platforms though are First Person Shooters. I really don't think anyone can say that Golden Eye didn't work on the N64.
This gives us (3523*2)/58789194 * 100 = 0.0119851957827488% chance of being killed in an average lifetime by terrorism. (For reference, the chance of winning the UK National Lottery is 0.0193366388688181%, if we assume that you play for 52 years in your life, every week.)
I always thought that the industry saw Europe as more important than the US as we tend to buy more of the Loco Rocos and Katamaris rather than the generic First Person Shooters. Guess I was wrong.

Gapless playback?
As of yesterday, it's a must have
>But didn't you just say you used Ubuntu?
Fake mustache falls off...
Oh my God, it's Ballmer! Get him!!!!
...just not laptop ready.

Oh, I might as well plug my FAQ for installing Ubuntu on a Toshiba M70. It might work elsewhere too...
Edge gave these 3 games 10 of out 10 (they were before Edge's time)
Exile
Elite
Super Mario Bros
Personally I completely agree they deserve it
It's given these 5 games 10 out of 10
Super Mario 64
Gran Turismo
Ocarina of Time
Halo
Half Life 2
Personally I'm not so sure about the last 2

Hang on a moment, is this true gapless like Rockbox offers, or is it gap deletion like on some players, like the iRiver?

Putting "Blow by blow" and "Steve Jobs" in one sentence really wasn't a good idea.
You see, the problem is that we could all get sucked off before we know what's going on.
I meant sucked in.
The worry then was that "negative strangelets" could gobble up the world.

Gnome vs. KDE?
Don't be silly, everyone knows that Gnome sucks
vi vs Emacs
Oh bravo, open up Pandora's box why don't you.
1. PCs vs Consoles
2. vi vs Emacs
3. ?????
Anyone for number 3?

Why should I buy a console when I can just use an emulator to play all these games on my PC?
OK, now let's pretend for a moment you actually paid for all those games...
Oh, yes...the 'liquid explosive' plot.
I really hate comments like this. Do you have any real evidence proving that there was no plot?
It's like the people who still think that 9/11 was a setup so the US could invade the Middle East.
Why don't you go and preach your crap to the families of the victims?

Lottery winners watch out, that's all I can say!
Why must Microsoft copy everything that Sony does?!
You knew I was planning on posting this gag as soon as the article appeared on Slashdot.
I'm never going to tell you anything funny again...
Why does Microsoft have to copy everything Sony does?
Disclaimer: I didn't RTFA
So how will this work? Will it only apply if the spammer is in the US? I doubt I'd be able to sue someone from Korea...

Nothing's changed:
The PS3 was originally not going to be released in Europe until Q1 2007
It then got brought forward to November 2006
It then got put back to March 2007
Not really much of a delay in my opinion...
I can't wait for this to get duped. Hopefully it'll take a few days so I can think up some good gags...
Yours sincerely,

Has anyone watched this video? That guy's arms are a bit too bare for my liking.
I reckon he filmed that naked. It's like Reflectoporn all over again...
Seriously, if someone's prepared to pay over £200 for a ticket to see The Killers (more by the time the bid finishes), then they'll pay £600 for a PS3.
