    Apple would have to sell it for $3,500 a seat to recoup the costs of doing and maintaining the port

    Not to mention lost hardware sales, but.. and they'd be eaten alive by piracy unless they spent even more money building some kind of kick-ass licensing system which would just get cracked by the script kiddies anyway.

    I disagree completely. Just like early Microsoft, piracy for Apple could be a a very Good Thing. If they get a bigger chunk of the OS market, that's more potential sales of other Apple hardware and software.

    Naked human pyramids, guard dogs, and hoods,

    You fucking tool. You really think that's all this is about? Go educate yourself, or shut up and go back to listening to Rush Limbaugh. Because, you know, rape and murder are no different from frat hazing.

    But the clay tablet also has to implement USB, which could be difficult.

    Better yet, you can just enable the XP firewall before connecting to the Internet. Use Windows Update until you've got everything. Or wait for SP2...

    Oh? Try using VPN a lot and pulling your hair out because of address space collisions.

    Expecially because NAT is addressing it very well.

    No, no it's not. NAT is a quick-fix that just complicates matters.

    6.1 was my first Linux too; the first and only distro I bought in box form, actually.

    I'm having allot of fun!

    I love this line ("Have a lot of fun!"), because it's obviously translated from the German expression "Viel Spass!" (literally: 'a lot of fun'). :-)

    they dont supply you with the source of the kernel your running

    Yes they do. Sure, it might not be installed by default, but it's right there on the CD. Yes, if you want to do crazy stuff, go with Gentoo - nothing is more flexible. If you want a solid desktop distro, SuSE and Mandrake work quite well.

    Why ship physical packages that might not sell when you can just ship blank disks and figure out what to put on them later?

    That's only export regulations; they don't affect what you can do within the US. It's a different and much more serious issue to restrict the flow of information within the US itself.

  20. Real Learning on Education Arcade Brings Learning Experience, Will Wright To E3 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Interesting stuff. Given how much time people will spend mastering the intricate systems of various MMOGs, what if we change those systems so they're really simulations of the actual world? For example, a game where you can use your knowledge of real chemistry to advance. Something to think about.
