"Now, what we'll do is, lock them into our own media form factor that is a SD card under the hood, but 1mm smaller on each side! Genious. Then, since they bought this $50 media card, all they will do is buy sony electronics that work with it for the rest of their life!!!! Awesome!"
"*Raise hand* What happens when the media card is obsolete in 3 months and they figured out that it doesn't work with 80% of the other devices on the market?"
SCO is accusing Linus of stealing all of their code, making crazy Iraqi information minister like comments to the press, and they tried to gag the people they are accusing from responding? SCO, please just crawl under a rock and die already.
Err, I mean, marketing 101 is the naming of the product. Take advantage of what the consumer already knows, make it the easy choice over the other bullshit that is out there. HD-DVD would seem like the next step to Joe consumer without doing any research at all, vs, Blu Ray, the lay person has no idea what it is just by the name. I mean come on, thats easy man.
I've heard a lot more buzz about HD-DVD from consumers, most of it wrong, but at least its buzz. For example, most people believe HDDVD is the "official" high def DVD format, and that Blu Ray is only for the PS3.
I mean:
Radio -> HDRadio
Tv -> HDTV
DVD - >HDDVD
Its just simpler for the consumer. Even the industry standard names for the damn aspect ratio is HDxxx depending on the resolutions. The poster also forgets, PS3 is a blue ray player and well under $1000 but that is beside the point.
Truthfully, I hope Sony stops with the format obsession. The sad fact is that Sony would have been a lot better off just going with HDDVD. We would all be making money right now and not waiting for years while the consumer waits to see who is going to win. I'm not an industry specialist or anything, obvisouly, but I just don't see the next gen HD format being called "blu ray", when all others are HD-.
I've already lost 40% of my investement on AMD stock within the last year, looks like that is going to get even worse. Obviously I should cut my losses and just sell now.
I thought Cedega had killed Linux years ago.....and that all Linux gamers have since switched to Windows, and that Cedega, not competetion from consoles, had killed Linux gaming for good, and blah blah blah blah.
Err HP has been doing this for years. My company has over 1000 desktops, close to 10,000 machines, 99% of which run CentoOS with KDE. Many of the newer ones are HP since Dell refused to sell AMD and offer Linux support, where as HP has been happy to do this. I guess that is why they surpassed dell not to long ago.
The other problem is that KDE is slow, REAL slow.
I don't find it slow. I'm using a dual-core chip, but I had an Athlon 2500+ for years before that and it wasn't slow then. The reason poeple, not just Linus, critize Gnome is because of their policies about accepting feature requests, advice, etc. Basically, they don't give a crap about the users, they give a crap about themselves, and they'll work on what they want to work on. Granted, this is the best part about open source, although, I generally find adding features for other people or fixing some poor guys bug more enjoyable.
You don't have to be scientifically literate to unterstand evolution. Its happening all around you, it happens every day. All evolution is, is the fact that we pass on traits to our offspring. Denying evolution is like denying the sky is blue.
What is not accurate about it. Blood, death, beheadings, dismemberment ok for teens and above. A gold game with a possible 15% of a nipple sighting if you pause at just the right time with a high def TV, rated XXX adult.

I mean, the guy was worse the the Iraqi information minister, now he's off the map. Last I heard I was looking for a lost breifcase with millions of lines of infringing code.
The Senator said he wanted to free America from 'the tyranny of oil'
Thats like asking not to win. Oil is the true leader of this country. What he should have done was cozied up to oil companies, then fucked them over hard core. That, would have been sweet. Now he's just going to have the full might of the oil companies after him.
Yeah, people ignore flashy signs? Jeez. Why even bother with the lite-bright when you can drop it in a trash can or someplace else no one will even see it? Why go through all that work when you need a paper bag, c4, and a detonator. All if you must be from Boston. Face it Boston, this negates your world series win. You have the "Bill Buckner" of police forces.

If the guy knowningly and systematically manipulated intelligence, that is illegal. There is nothing partisan about it.
I would change one thing. AMD should come out against DRM and refuse to make products that limit what the user can do with his/her own media.

They are wicked retards that haven't been hit with the IT clue stick, probably never will be.
"According to our experts, Microsoft has stolen our code and put it into Windows. I have proof right here in my magical breifcase"
Err, I thought that is was general knowledge that the swift boat veterans were full of shit. Damn midwest posters, at it again.
What about fire trucks, should we ticket them as well? And ambulances?

Its hard enought to get a good raid party going in World of Warcraft without eliminating a huge portion of the player base due to homework.
Ballmer had millions of lines of infringing code in a briefcase, Darl McBride stole it, then lost it, and nobody really knows where it is now.
Now all they have to do is discover religion so they can deny they evolved.

Gnome isn't that good, IMHO. At least the fixed the file dialog.
