Hardware specs should have always been freely available. What did companies have to worry about? As the FAQ tells, it only means more sales or at worst, as many sales as if the specs weren't available. It costs them nothing and they have nothing to lose, they'd just have to say: "We have a new product, here are the specs, have fun". I wonder why they never did that on their own.
Now, this is even better because of the NDA of the specs of not yet released products, which means support from day one!
I haven't read the article yet, but wouldn't it be normal behavior to require administrative rights to install software on a computer?
In my opinion, what isn't acceptable is to require these rights to play the game.
My favourite bit of the article:
Q. "So why do you think the ideals of open source... have appealed to so many people?"
A. "Taylor: Well, first you have to define "people"... And what is open source? It is interesting in how you define it..."
This is ridiculous when in the question itself the author tells what he means by "open source" (giving back to the community, being able to see, use and change source codes).
I completely disagree with your statement about the communication interface. Simplicity doesn't means consolish. When you communicate with your teammates or the commander, you are in the middle of the action in the battlefield. It's much better to have everything accessible from a single button (and then moving the mouse) than have some sort of key combinations that moves your hands away from the controls, not to mention that it is faster.
Unless you stop reading before the end of the sentence you quoted, it then says to play without the patch. So you should suppose that you need to reinstall it.
But then, I just realized that you probably had the news title in mind even though you quoted something else. What I said was based on what you quoted. I understand that for someone how only reads the title, it is absolutly misleading.
That explains all:
A few years ago, while parking my car, I rolled over a "bump". Once parked, I went to see what it was, and I actually ran over a frog back-first. All of it's guts were far in front of it, as if, exactly, it had exploded. That was funny but disgusting. The following morning, it was gone. Looks like some animal had a feast...
oh and you can do this only because it's an iPod Shuffle?
Re:This version doesnt fix some new type of popups

Firefox 1.0.1 Released

In fact, it seems like it's a pop-up that pops another one. But here, Firefox still blocked the first and the second one. I had to ask Firefox to show me the blocked windows to see what it was about and understand what you meant.
What does the mac mini comment do here? It may be the first computer to be that small, but it's in no way an original idea. Why do people think that every product Apple makes has to be the reference?
I got fed up of the RPMs so I switched over to Gentoo when it was around version 1.3 and I am not going back... For my older computers that would take days to compile, I switched to Slackware.
Not having an "M" rating doesn't mean it doesn't have a violent theme. Medal of Honor is rated "T" and it looks like it's based on a violent theme. The fact it has no blood doesn't make it any less violent: You're still shooting people and they still scream in pain.
Try this at home: Secretly enable scroll lock and wait for your wife (or anybody who is computer illeterate) to go on the computer to write an email (or whatever):
"G+/- Whats haening"
Translation: "OMG! What's happening?"
At least it works on Linux. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on Windows. Linux wins for the fun factor!
I wish this kind of tool would have been mainstream 3 years ago when I had an emergency aortic valve replacement. I wouldn't have to live with a 30+ centimeters scar on the chest (I was 18. I'll probably live more time in my life with my mechanical valve than I lived without it), and pain wouldn't have been that much of a big deal. But I guess I'm already getting used to it. It's just that my chest was not perfectly closed back, so I have a kind of small bump near the bottom of my sternum. I guess with this "robot", I wouldn't have this.
Dexxa? They still exist? In the shop were I worked a while ago, we used to "pretend" we didn't have their mice in stock because they were so bad. Out of ten, there may be only one or two that didn't come back within a month. You get what you pay for.
Logitech's mice might be more expensive, but they are backed by a 3 to 5 year warranty. And you usually don't even need it.

It's sad that it is considered as the "real world" if you ask me.

smashed would be more adequate

Fils-Aimé would translate as "Loved-Son"
not me. I have a 1080i tv set.
I've done this exact thing by building a pc used for my media center one month ago. I installed Slackware and Freevo and things work like a charm.
The computer is always on as it doubles as my samba and music server so I don't have the problem of boot times
... in Windows, you don't have to add things to break it!

*Sigh*... People can be so nitpicky. As if you wouldn't understand what they mean.
But hey, this is Slashdot. You have to look smarter!

Time will fly...
Slashdot just screwed it!
All the special characters magically disappeared...
Slashdot loses for the fun factor...
