Well, I never knew that. I don't have a games console of any kind though - but if I should get one, I'll remember that. Frankly though, Sony have burnt through any credibility they had with me - they can get it back, but it'll be tough.
Explain to me why anybody on a non-Microsoft platform would want to run.NET (which from what I can tell is pretty much a direct Java copy) via Mono? IANAD(eveloper).
Java already exists, is open, tested, and runs on lots of stuff.
If large cooperations marketing has succeeded to the point that there are 10 million people that will not buy a company's product regardless of its technical merits and price point, we've reached a truly low point in society. Why? I choose not to buy Sony, in the full knowledge that their kit is probably better. I choose digital cameras that use CF cards over ones that use Sony Memory Sticks.
It's (for me) about using whatever uses most standardised additions. And I'm not a Microsoft fan either.
Interesting ideas. What about retired folks that have worked all their lives?
Your suggestion sort of implies that the only people worth anything are those earning money, not in the employ of the state. I'm not sure what I make of that.
I wouldn't use this. After all, the bookmarks I have at home are different from the ones I have at work.:)
I can't envisage a time when I'd need this. Plus it's very easy to SCP my bookmarks.html from my PC at home if I need them - or a simple SSH and grep to find the precise one I want. A solution in search of a problem?
Yes, I understand all that, thanks. I'm saying that just because a DRM *system* is known (not the keys used) shouldn't make it any less secure. Obviously, if you know an encryption key, which you would need to to decode DRM content, then you're stuffed. However, if someone invents a super new solar-flare powered DRM method that doesn't rely on obfuscating and sending the decryption key with the content - then knowing how the DRM method works shouldn't make any difference.
DRM relies on a secret in order to work. If the DRM is standardized, that secret it out and the DRM is broken. Not at all. Think of encryption algorithms - you can know all about them - the "secret" is out - but you still can't break them.
But - is it fun? It must be - people wouldn't pay lots to get a sore nose and a hangover - you can get drunk in most cities and get into fights for less.
Britain is weighed down by the biggest breasts in Europe. The average chest size of a British teenager has grown dramatically over the past 10 years and is now a whopping 36D.
For some young women this is a cause for celebration, for others it can lead to a life of misery as they face bullying and physical pain. Perhaps it's a big problem?
Thank God for the BBC. Funded via a tax (which is it in all but name) so they don't have to pander to chasing ratings, dumbing down, and getting advertisers.
Although they're not as good as they were 10 years ago. I want to switch on Radio 4, and hear about stuff I've never heard of. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_archive_home.shtml is usually pretty good.
I'm glad that GNU rm allows you to put -rf at the end of the command. It gives me slightly more time to think.
rm./* <quick pause> -rf <enter>
And yes, I too used to use revert scripts on atd to recover in 5 mins - but I'm so l33t these days...:)
I'd really like a good Command and Conquer/Dune, and also a SimCity type game for Linux.
I've played Battle for Wesnoth, and Xlincity - Wesnoth, it's OK, but Xlincity just isn't quite there:)
That's not the case in every country though - I don't believe that to be the case in the UK. A case is judged on the evidence presented at the time, relevant to the specific alleged offence.
Not sure about Postgres now - but I'm fairly sure that when I first installed it, it demanded either MySQL or Postgres to do all its playlist/rating stuff. And now my ratings are in there, I don't want to change.
The ruby dependency is hard-coded in in Gentoo - I think it's for the lyric scripts. It's the only app on my whole system that requires it, which annoys me.

Women! Know your limits! And for pity's sake - don't drive.
Oh, my comment wasn't that it'd be no good for everyone, just that it wasn't much use for me.

I've never tried cocaine. Should I?

France: Always below Britain, in all senses.
I keed, I keed, my French chooms.
Does it run Linux?
Gaaad, I feel so dirty now, I disgust myself.
Thanks :) I'll try that out later this week.
It's little nuggets of info like this that make it worth wading through the trolls/flame fests, etc

Anyone suggest me any?
That sounds like you and someone else had been together with your sweetheart for 8 years. What does the 3rd person think about your marriage?
Yeah, cos people work best with the threat of losing their jobs hanging over them.

Course - then Nokia/Sony Ericsson/whoever can't sell you a new phone.
