One criticism of the iPad that I can't really get behind is the price. I'd like to see a cheaper alternative, while still retaining the same horsepower, not to mention a 9.6" IPS panel.
"Under Windows XP, things Just Work. Under Linux, things just won't work, and I can never figure out why. I'll go to Google, and find answers that basically say "do what you've already done.""
That is not entirely true, although yes, I've had this installation of Ubuntu for two weeks, and I'm still trying to configure my Logitech MX500.
My point is, though, is that I've had hardware act really wonkily in XP, but work right off the bat with Linux. A great example is my 20GB Archos Jukebox. Even though it's pretty old, and should work under XP with *no* problem (it just shows up as a Fujitsu (IIRC) HDD when installed), I had to scour through Archos's website to find *really old* drivers. We're talking Windows 98 drivers.
However, when I plugged it in under Ubuntu, it just showed up and worked right away--as quickly as my Fujifilm 128MB thumbdrive.
You know, I built myself a PVR for a bit cheaper than that. Since it's only a PVR and not my main box, I picked up a cheap motherboard with a soldered-on processor, which is more than sufficient to record and play video (Duron 1.3GHz).

I had no idea people still use RealPlayer.
According to this wikipedia map, it looks as though Australia is PAL.
See, it turns out I was wrong. Or possibly wrong. Or someshit.
That's rather silly. Why would the same movie in two different formats be packaged together?
;)
Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying of course. In which case, feel free.

Should I care that Torvalds is moving?
It would be really nice to have a native RSS aggregator. Not necessarily the RSS Reader Panel, but something equally useful.
Yeah, definitely check out FileMirrors.com when they get released.
Virgin can shut down Black Isle but they can't take it away from us.
Don't you mean Interplay?
I have improved my skill in stealing cars and beating women...
You know, it matters, considering that the store was going out of business and all. ;)
Reminder to self: use "winking smiley" emoticon more often...
You sure about that?

It looks like it is.

Cost me $85.
Quake II doesn't allow you to do it.
