What I think happens is that an implicent scale ends up being used.
Coolness/Fun factor vs. Proprietariness.
Apple gets a pass, because their products are cool. Have you actually ever used SCO openserver? You'd want to dig your eyes out with sticks afterwards and then wash out the empty sockets with soap, just to be sure.
Same with Sony. People don't express their annonyance with how much DRM is built into a PS2 because the PS2 has a fun factor...
Doh! Your absolutely right! I totally forgot about that!

You can have geo sync LEO satellites... Otherwise you'd could put it into permanent orbit. Who wants that... now I can justify the constant rocket project in the garage;-)
Though, he should have know that the Red's were out of bullets. Then he could have traded away his pacifist medic! I hope he got bill gates to admit he likes ribbons in his hair and that he wants to kiss all the guys on the blue side.
The article is talking about Ultra5's, not Sparc 5's... BIG DIFFERENCE!
Though personally, the sparc 5 was a better designed machine than the ultra 5. Somehow the notion of a Sun workstation without that amazing whirr noise that their scsi disks were prone to make just isn't right!
I use it to communicate aka bury a rail gun slug in their head and talk to people as in You suck man meat, bitch monkey! to speak my ideas as in How does it feel to be ridin, bitch! and see others, as in... Ah, there they are, running around trying to find the rail gun I just picked up...
All jesting aside, I do agree with you. Sitting alone in a room watching TV is a rather antisocial activity. Now watching a marathon of "Tremors: The series" with a whole bunch of other people, that's social...
Considering that they found mission patches on the ground that were on the clothing of Astronauts who died when their shuttle that was going something like mach 23 came apart at 200k feet.
You need to take a trip to rotten.com or one of those other foul sites and look at the pictures of what's left after a plane crash... The prospects of a passport surviving a plane crash are quite good.
"The night the Swiss attacked! They came from their little long roofed houses by the thousands to overwhelm Europe with their iron fists and clockwork percision!"
Hmm, that sucks. I'm still using the old version that I bought like a year ago without any problems.
However, I do use my PS2 to play games, plus I recently purchased a ReplayTV, so I'll soon beable to retire my Qcast stuff.
With the Replay I've been using a piece of software called (Replay Client) that lets me offload the mpegs to my PC.
Also, since my living arangements are going to change soon (buying a house) When I setup my playroom it'll allow me to concatnate all my video/audio hardware into once space, so I'll have some better integration.
So, your telling me that this guy was smart enough to find a flaw in Best Buys website, but was stupid enough to get himself nabbed by a 1x1 transparent bitmap...
Something tells me, this guy was a idiot. He didn't find any flaw, he was just trying to extort money on some baseless claim.
Well, we know one person's ass that'll be getting banged like a screen door in a hurricane!
Just because I run a 8' tall Tesla coil on my back deck doesn't mean I'm purposely transmitting across every frequency all at once;-) it just happens that way...
Though you could argue that a clip of some chick getting 19" of man meat shoved in every hole she owns still constitutes more plot line than several big budget movies combined...
I think we should car jack an old lady and then run her down with the car as we drive down to go "talk" to these people. Maybe we could do a couple of drug runs and drop off a hooker here or there along the way.
We could also steal a fire engine and spray people with water along the way as well...

More imporantly.... it shows how little can be achieved with copious ammounts of processing power!

Now, that worked out well for him (I suppose)

No, a true geek would build their own rocket and launch their own communications satelite into a geo sync LEO!
That's easy...
Purchase any piece of Microsoft software!
Um, Um, excuse me, that's my stapler...

That's an easy one...
Once a spammer is found guilty they're put into a work camp. In this work camp they're seated at a computer with a red and a green button.
On the screen will flash up an email. They're then forced to choose spam or not spam.
Hesitation will result in a cattle prod to the privates.

It still works considering that C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet.

The Demi Gods of destruction were just testing you... you failed

so, what exactly is a "swiss army night"?
Sounds like an idea for a great movie...

I've been using Qcast on my PS2 todo this for years.
Plus Qcast will let me use a whole bunch of different formats this can't.

Yeah, but this knucklehead though he was safe because he was using a hotmail account!

Now you know what all the ohhing and ahhing was all about!
I wouldn't mind having that as a laptop!

Instead of drinking sugar filled sodas, your drinking coffee instead...
Take a look at that can of soda and the ammount of sugar you just ingested.
Now you wonder why peoples pancreases just up and quit or freak out and start producing huge ammounts of incelin.
If we cut the refined sugars out of our diets, we'd be doing ourselves a favor!
