I don't care that,its 20 bucks. Apple left it out and Intel has a chance to include it, for their own sake. But my post must have been good, since I managed to piss off the Apple fanatic and the Intel fanboy. I use a powerbook, by the way. And it's sad that you have to mention that you own a mac so you won't get modded a troll if you point out a shortcoming on Apple's gear.
This Intel clone is guaranteed to have on board video and be pretty non-upgradeable, except for RAM. I've had an intel 845G built in video, I'll take the Mac Mini Radeon over that piece of crap any day.
Oh, and being an intel clone, this thing better be $249 out the door, including a DVD reader / CD burner and a copy of Windows XP. Think it'll happen? Probably not. They didn't even take advantage of the Mac Mini's one missing feature - S-Video out. I think that's a power port, not the elusive TV connection.
I bought a ringworld game about 8 years ago for DOS. It was kind of like a turn-based strategy game in 2D. It was pretty cool, probably not playable anymore, don't know.
Seriously. Did you see the 60 minutes report this week on the confined inmates of Pelican Bay? These guys aren't retarded criminals. These guys are genuis masterminds. It's a shame they use their brains for crime rather than for the good of society. I'm talking learning an extinct Nordic language for communication, and hiding codes inside intricate artwork. Granted, LA County houses more burglars and drug users than Gang lords, so let's hope this helps. Believe it or not, LA County "loses" inmates all the time. This is a general population prison, not Alcatraz.
I ordered a refurbushed X1 projector a month ago, and they never asked for any part of my SSN. My order came through perfectly, and I already got the rebate check.
Yeah, what morons! All they want to do is set up a computer to watch TV, and they haven't mastered bash! Cmon, next you're gonna tell me they haven't mastered VI either!
Cmon, if we expect regular people to use Linux, condescending attitudes towards editing archaic text files won't cut it. I hope newbs go out and buy a copy of Windows and install Media Portal, just to spite your kind.
The High Definition AV pack gives you component 480i / 480p (if the game supports it). That's good enough for DVDs and Xvid and the like. For HDTV you're gonna need something else. My xbox is very quiet and diesn't bother me at all.
Just get a modded xbox. It's very easy to use and no headaches. I had it modded and the dude pre-loaded xbox media player. Plays pretty much anything. With the newer xbox 360 coming out, expect older xboxes to take a price dive around the holidays.
The comments thread on the page in interesting. Can the PSP read a mini CD? I don't advocate stealing games, but the prospect of running linux on the harware is cool. They are booting Linux on the Nintendo DS.
If by making a "huge mistake" you mean making hundreds of millions of dollars, sign me up.
Sure the movies aren't that great, but were you really expecting to see something revolutionary? The Star Wars films have always been popcorn movies. It's not his fault we nerds take them so seriously. He's a filmmaker, and a very succesful one. I can't wait for the new Star Wars movie, or the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel. But I'm not expecting either to top 2001: A Space Odyssey. Just fun to watch on the big screen.
You're right, of course. It's not really a big issue though. Most firewire devices also have an extra port for pass-through. The only FW device I have without a pass through is my DV camera. Even with a single FW port on my powerbook, I still have an external drive, external DVD burner, and DV cam - all hooked up and running at the same time.

I know this is a joke, but the same question can be asked of Apple (don't flame em I'm a mac user). Would Apple sell you a system with a bare hard drive at a $129 discount? Remember the recent article where Linus revealed his new machine is a G5 Powermac running Linux only.
Neither Apple or Dell will give you a discount. There isn't enough demand for a program like this to suceed. Linspire will see you a laptop, check out their offerings.
I have that same monitor, and got it for $300 from Fry's just like you. It's a great monitor. The sales jerk at Fry's was trying to get me to buy a higher priced Sharp branded monitor, but I stuck to my guns. He lied to me about the speed and the warranty. It comes with a 3 year warranty, amazing for a computer monitor. It has DVI and analog, and tilts into portrait mode. I highly recommend it.
"..too many of its featured services never get out of beta stage"
Who cares? Froogle and Google News (and for that matter, Gmail and Google Maps) are functional, and can be used today. Why would you let the word "beta" get in your way? Is there an unfulfilled promise?

I would like an extension for submitting Slashdot comments. I hate manually typing the line breaks, italics, etc. A Spellcheck would be nice too.

According to the Internet Movie Database, Steven Spielberg also suffers from Aspeger Syndrome.

Could this solve the slashdot effect problem, if we're all running it? Are ads associated with it?
I can't believe neither service rents porn movies. I think it would boost service considerably. Just keep it on the down-low. Hide it under "romance".

Don't worry, you're even harder to understand.

They got CPUs wrong. There's no 1.5 ghz G5. Add 100 mhz and it's a little more believable.
