Don't worry, the average/.'er is a closet Windows user. I'm a huge fan of PlayOn and actually bought two licenses for my house and the GF's house (streaming to a 360 in both cases). There's a site called PlayOnPlugins that gives you even more content for PlayOn, including Adult Swim and PBS. PlayOn is simply a DLNA server, so you can serve up content to any DLNA client, including the 360, PS3, Popcorn Hour, XBMC, Boxee et al.
I disagree about Gears of War 1 & 2. I started with 2 and now I've gotten around to part 1. 2 IMO is much more fleshed out and the story goes hand-in-hand with the gameplay. I was very moved by the scene with Dom's wife and that got my mind even more into the world behind the game I was playing. The story in GoW 2 gives me a goal to work for, much in the same way that Capture the Flag in Team Fortress 2 gives me a goal and makes an otherwise shallow deathmatch fun (and there is no real pretense of a "story" in TF2). Gears of War Part 1, on the other hand, feels a little more "twitchy" in the controls (due to its Unreal Engine 3 heritage) and the story is a little more shallow in the cutscenes. It feels more like going through the motions.
They're selling their game, not their dignity. I don't think there would be anything wrong by setting a breakeven price floor that only covers transaction costs.
This device appears to be superior to the Kindle in every way. I told my friend just now, "hey, I know you're interested in the Kindle, but you should wait for the Nook!" I explained how it was better. His only question was "Cool, but can it get the Wall Street Journal like the Kindle?" I checked. It's not on BN's ebook site. Fail. Content is still king.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 are both UPnP/DLNA clients and will stream just fine from a TVersity/Twonky/PlayOn server. Personally, I use PlayOn to stream Hulu, Adult Swim, PBS, CBS, Crackle (Sony's answer to Hulu) and half a dozen other video feeds to my Xbox 360. The 360's built-in Netflix client gets used every day as well. The 360 is used every day as a media hub in the house...we might use it for games on the weekends now and then. We have an AppleTV that then picks up the slack with its built-in video podcast directory and Youtube browser. There are no hiccups even when someone is watching Hulu or Youtube on the desktop PC.
I don't see why you think you have a right to disable it. It is a separate piece of software that runs inside the browser and it doesn't inject any code into your site.
Don't use the plugin and you won't see anything. I do see a potential trademark violation issue though if they start to generate revenues with this tool somehow.
Why do you assume the neighbors would be intimidated instead of outraged? They should be allowed. That way the neighbors can remind them what happens to nazis in the end.
There's at least once club in London that plays D&B music that doesn't allow hoodies. I think it's the place that puts out the Drum & Bass Arena podcast.
I remember when Palm bought the Be source code way back when in 2002(?). I heard that some of it found its way into PalmOS 5, but I wonder if any of its elements are used in Palm's new webOS.
I am really disgusted that a movie studio (yeah, MPAA sucks, etc.) needs to get permission from the bottom-feeding welfare leaches of a long-deceased author to make a film. Worse yet, they have to pay for the privilege.

Are these spammers the same people that were duped into paying some fee to "learn how to make thousands of dollars" by posting ads on web sites?
I'll just leave this right here to get the ball rolling:

George Lucas is usually supportive of fan-made material as long as they aren't going into for commercial purposes.

While this is a funny and lighthearted question on Slashdot, this is a real question for certain demographics:

McDonalds is a marketing and logistics company that sells franchise licenses.
Let's not forget how Apple pulled the trademark for the name "iPhone" from right under Cisco a couple years ago.
My memory of this quote is why I go straight to Slashdot for discussion after reading the liveblog of the event on Arstechnica.

It's all fun and games until you have to disclose to your neighbors by law what you did with your monopole.
Here we go...let's just get this "who has the lowest UID" pissing game out of the way :-)
It's all fun and smug until all the fine graphite dust emitted by the pencil fucked up your capsule. Fischer Space Pen FTW!
