As for your response regarding the XBox, they did reduce the cost of the system over time. They actually set at value or more now. Much of the parts of changed and some things have been reduced. Some of them better, some of them worse. The HD was about $20 a piece. They stopped using 8GB drives because it was cheapter to get bigger ones, keeping the cost down.
Sounds more like you took a job that didn't involve anything you were really interested in doing. I took my hobby and turned it into a job, it's not that hard. You just need to know where to look.
My car's battery was $85 for the more expensive version and included installation. Apple wants $100 or more, but they usually tell you to buy a new iPod ($250+).
The ATi dual GPU cards are also ginormous. Just check out the pix on HotHardware. A CrossFire enabled X850 is two slots with another two slots taken by the CrossFire.
Sounds like a double-edged blade to me. Either they allow more finer customization, or you don't use it. Either it's the same for everybody, or you don't use it.
And in other news, Linus reports that Linux is still in pre-alpha stages. Waiting for device drivers from most major vendors and for devs across the planet to stop marking Bugs WILLNOTFIX.
The PS3 is also much farther off as far as release time. When it gets close to release I'm sure there'll be plenty of ads..... I mean articles about it too.

Either shut it with the "Same old gameplay" or come up with a better idea. That's what I think. Just as movies/books/etc have been recycled for ages on ages, so will games. Occasionaly there's a new gem, perhaps made possible because of new technology. Just look at Black & White, that wasn't possible a couple years before it came out.
MS removed MediaPlayer just like the EU ordered. Then the EU scolded MS for not being able to play videos. Sounds like some kind of vendetta or personal predjudice to me.

cmd.com does loops, and passes arguments... You can even build loops that do counting and pass the values as arguements.
If you want to boot multiple versions of windows you just need to install them in the order they came out. IE Windows 3.1 before Windows 95, etc.
Next: The Gimp's Gimpy to "Innovate" an assistant tool into The Gimp only to be thoroughly rejected for its depiction of an actual gimp.

How about when the main Linux kernal CVS got hacked and an exploit injected but nobody noticed for a few weeks?

Well, IE comes with features like: Rendering Slashdot correctly, not eating up all your RAM with memory leaks, online banking, etc.
With the pricing of the new PlayStation, it might be a free HDTV with every PS3.

I always thought it was the software that influenced what OS people bought. (See: Gaming, Tax Software, etc)
Not exactly proving, either...... And this is for ASF, not DOC.
It is true, for my version of XP. Does Kate support multiple languages and unicode in that 4K?
MS had some dev boxes there in place of actual hardware to show off. Sony had who knows what running stuff (DVD player?).

You obviously haven't heard of XNA.

Notepad is 68KB you insensitive clod!

My first video card with hardware 3D was a S3 Virge with 2MB.. still more than my IBM XT with 512KB.
