Gee, Mister Coward, that's spiffy: you can open and play with files. But show me one graphic design or 3d modeling professional who uses any of those packages (with the possible exception of Blender) for any significant quantity of their daily work. (Hint: it's not going to be easy. Know why?)
('Nother hint: it's not because we love spending thousands of dollars on software, or because we've never tried the Open Source alternatives, so kindly take any condescension and shove it.)
Since it's highly doubtful that Sony can permit the resale of the japanese PSP consoles in Hong Kong no matter if on the local market or for export, it looks like this is planned to be one of the not the bright marketing ideas of the Sony HQ.
Allow me to be the first to congratulate the article submitter on his clever literary device: the writeup itself reads like a poorly-translated Japanese video game. Highly apropos!
I dig the fact that this article loaded up for me with a big ol' flash banner ad for Rackspace Managed Hosting plastered across the top of the page. Somehow I think this is the last place Rackspace wants their impression just now...
Congratulations: not only didn't you RTFA, you clearly haven't R'ed any F'ing A's on this topic for at least the last year. Good job. Wouldn't do to inform yourself before deploying your indignant !'s and ?'s.
So what you're saying is that sociopathic tendencies are genetically determined, and if we could just weed out those genetic lines, we could eliminate criminal and otherwise deviant behavior? Huh. This is sounding awfully familiar...
Actually, if you read the accompanying text with your phase diagram, you can see that the pressure range is 0.006 atmospheres and below. That's a little more useful. Anybody know offhand what the atmospheric pressure is on Mars?
I've played hundreds of DVDs, and I've yet to meet a single legitimate disc that prevented the user from switching audio tracks on the fly. Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
What kind of DVD player do you have that doesn't allow you to switch audio tracks mid-stream at the press of a button? Even some of the cheapest models I've seen can do that.
You know, Microsoft isn't the only entity capable of propogating FUD -- they're just one of the most notorious. I've seen this ridiculous complaint about MS Antispyware more times than I can count, and it's not getting any less ridiculous with repetition. THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC REMOVAL OF VNC. It simply gets flagged as a potential backdoor, and the user is asked if they want it removed. This is perfectly reasonable behavior: if you don't know what VNC is or what it's doing on your system, it probably shouldn't be there. If you're running it intentionally on the other hand, you simply tell Antispyware to ignore it, and it never bothers you again.
I'm sorry, remind me again where Microsoft claimed their release of a full-featured image editor made them a big innovator in the field? The dubiousness of your point aside, I can't find any backing for your claim.
I guess if you put words in Microsoft's collective mouth your comment becomes insightful, though.
Firstly, they're analogies, Captain Obvious -- not identities. More importantly, his entire point is that they aren't the same thing, and so aren't threatened by co-existence. Is your reading comprehension really that poor, or are you just flinging feces?
Way to sidetrack the discussion with a pointless strawman. What braindead mod handed this an "Insightful"?

(Yes, precisely.)
"People that argue semantics piss me off."
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
(Oh, the irony.)

As should you. (If you're going to be pedantic, at least be right.)

Sorry, don't you mean the "Beat Your Head In With A" club?
I thought my inbox looked a little sparse this morning.
Maybe because you had it right the first time?
As a point of curiosity, how did you get around the necessity of registering a unique API key for each page the script is invoked from?
Slashdot, beyond the way the trolls word things, is a great place to find best-practices for the IT world.
Thank you, that's the funniest thing I've read all day.

Anyone look at the Metrix (distributor of bittorrent spyware) web site recently?

Not to be cynical That's not how you spell 'stupid'.
I guess you still haven't heard of the new Google Personal Search Agent (currently in closed beta).
It's SCIENCE, you ASSHOLE. YOU KNOW, the STUFF that actually MATTERS in the BIG PICTURE?

Huh? Did you even read the first sentence of the synopsis? What does this have to do with needing or doing without smart nerds?

I beg to differ. Ducks are funny in nearly any context.
