I'm selling my ipod to get one of these. A few reasons why:
1: Cool factor. No one else around here will have one
2: Its open and runs linux, +1 cool factor
3: The only thing I do with my ipod is plug my head phone adapter into my stereo in my car.. this will do the same
4: It will do more than my ipod with less hacking and costs less.
Oh great. Lets just notify everyone in the area that there are open access points near by.:)

Swinging a controller all over hell to get a character to move? Hell, I was doing that on the NES. JUMP MARIO! *makes upward motion with controller*. Guess Nintendo has been paying attention to their customers:P
This is very interesting to me. I work for a company that provides financial software. Our security is almost non-existant. I'm about the only person who could impliment any serious security, but it has been put to the bottom of my priority list by the boss. Makes me sick sometimes. Anyone that has worked for our company, or even one of our customer's companies, could EASILY rip someone off pretty bad. Not to mention completely fubar a load of businesses in one shot.
Maybe I should force feed some of these articles to my boss.:)
The problem is, its not just google. Its much more than that. If I remember correctly, its not even google searches it's high bandwidth stuff like google video. I could certainly live without google video. I still prefer common carriers though.
How about advertisements for games? It seems that the gaming scene is made up of quite a few teenagers that all have nice consoles, or high end gaming PCs. Hmmm.. no buying power? It also seems that every teenager I see anymore has a cell phone. Hmmmm. I've also seen quite a few teenagers with MP3 players.
They might not have buying power, but they sure know what they want, and their parents sure have buying power.
Paint protecting? WTF? You've never been to small towns in Iowa. (the type that have a sign that says "Population 304", with the 4 crossed out and 3 written in marker) There isn't a car there that doesn't have atleast 50% rust coverage. They still seem to get around just fine in their rust buckets.
Screw you hippies! FinalFantasy on NES FOREVER!:)
I still play it on my EMU, among other games. Most of which are way more entertaining that todays PS2 releases (for me atleast). Plus they don't cost me $20-50/game.
*clap* I agree completely. I played GTA 3 for about a week. My 8 year old caught me playing one night and he thought it was the coolest thing ever and begged me to play it. I pawned it off at one of those used game stores for $5 the next day.
Screw all these laws and fines. Parents that actually give a shit and pay attention to what their kids are doing would yeild better results in my opinion.
I really can't see a parent saying "Billy, you're so annoying today, go sit infront of the TV and kill some cops, hookers, blow up some cars, snipe off some people, and quit bugging me already."
I still play the original Final Fantasy in an emulator on my laptop over my lunch break. Albiet not as old as pitfall, but I still love it. Can't wait for the Wii to come out so I can play all those leet 8 bit games on my TV again... (Too lazy for a NTSC out video card):)
To me it just seems like they're begging for attention. I've seen alot more about the xbox360 and ps3 than I have the wii. Maybe I'm just ignoring them. Who knows. But back to the point. I really don't care what shell this thing was sitting in, but it prompted me to think about the wii, thus it produced consumer interest, which will probably lead to a sale. My next gen console purchase will be whatever is cheapest when I feel like buying, sounds like that will be wii.:)
I propose that we expand this to people in general. Almost every robery involves a gun, or knife, or some type of weapon. So, lets ban weapons completely. This includes law enforcement and military. Lets see how they do without their guns, knight sticks, finger nail clippers.....
Just because microsoft's business practices suck, doesn't mean the company does as a whole. Microsoft/Gates donates a crap load of money to good causes all the time. I donate money too, thus I'm on the same side as them in that battle. On the other hand, I get your joke, made me laugh. But, when you're dealing with fighting the governement, wouldn't you want someone like Microsoft to be on your side?:)
Yeah, this system from Verizon is junk. It blocks legitimate email constantly. We currently have 2 businesses in the same building. For some reason, Verizon is constantly blocking one of our business domains from the other business domain. And no amount of phone calls or emails or removal requests have done anything for us. We will shortly be moving to a new provider.
Amen. Material that is covered under IP law is usually a luxury (Movies, Music, Games, etc). On the other hand, for me gasoline is a requirement if I want to get to work. The true terrorists are the ones running the oil companies!:)
And what about us that like to drive aggressively in a safe environment? SCCA SoloII? Autocross? I've been looking for a newer car for over a month, do you know how hard it is to find a manual transmission these days?:(

Oh so violent! You must have been playing those violent games they're talking about.

1: I'm not a $luser, I'm an admin.
2: This is my personal server.
3: I hate prefixing root commands with sudo all the time
there are times when I still type very naughty things on the command line.

I work for an automotive dealership. We run 100% Terminal Services *shutter*. This would absolutely rock our world. :)

That doesn't work when the appropriate authorities slam the "leaker/whisleblower" with a law suit or make them dissapear off the face of the earth....
I used it. Quite a bit. Excellent source of porn... er.. I mean...
Honda has a car that costs $30k?
