Don't think it's too likely in the near future though. They now have the S4 Play Edition so I'm not sure that Samsung will be ditching andoid any time soon. I think they could make a go at it but without the Play ecosystem they'd basically be back to square one and be back with BlackBerry and Windows Phone for apps.
You can still install via floppies... In fact looking at the FAQ page it looks like they haven't changed anything in the 16 years since my first install of Slackware. You can install through serial if your heart so desires.
How long does that take? I have a netted chair at work that I've been using for 2+ years and haven't experienced any problems that you describe and haven't heard anyone else complain at the office. I think you might just have had some bad chairs?
I saw this the other day and I think it's a bunch of really old numbers numbers. They say:
* Xbox 360: hardware to software ratio: 6.59 (hardware total sold = 6.8 million; software total sold = 44.8 million)
* PlayStation 3: hardware to software ratio: 3.58 (hardware total sold = 1.9 million; software total sold = 6.8 million)
* Wii: hardware to software ratio: 3.44 (hardware total sold = 4.5 million; software total sold = 15.5 million)
Wikipedia says (I know I hate using wikipedia as a reference but I'm damn sure that these numbers are more reasonable, plus I'm lazy):
* Xbox 360: 13.4 million consoles
* PlayStation 3: 5.59 million consoles
* Wii: 13.17 million consoles
Joystiq doesn't really say when their numbers come from so maybe they were just cherry-picking?
Indeed. I somehow managed to have three desktops so that it made a triangle. I never did figure out how to change it back. I dropped beryl because scrolling through pages was painfully slow and I lost the ctrl-alt-Fkey access to virtual consoles.
Barenaked Ladies first big hit in Canada was "If I had $1000000". There's a part in the song that goes "We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner/But we would eat Kraft Dinner! In fact we'd just eat more."
Note to those not in Canada: Kraft Dinner is Kraft brand macaroni and cheese.

Try turning on the whiz bang hardware accelerated effects in KDE. You get a nice garbage screen if you turn on "Use translucency/shadows" in Window Behavior under desktop in the Control Center. Apparently it works great on the FOSS drivers for the Radeon 8500 and below but I get a screen full of garbage on my 9800. Probably not a big deal for most people but its very annoying to me.
Also frustrating is the lack of support for games played through Cedega, I just installed the Cedega timedemo tonight and Guild Wars almost but not quite works. I have characters missing heads and the frame rate is about 2 frames per second. I can get decent frame rates with a different setting but it crashes if I go to another district. This may be fixable, but so far my next computer is going to have an nVidia GPU.
Meh, no real worries about games requiring Vista anytime soon (except of course Microsoft stuff). Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, HalfLife2, Call of Duty 2, Quake 4, Star Wars: Empire at War (not even released officially yet), requirements all state that Windows 98 should work. Age of Empires 3, Doom 3 and Civilization IV are the only games that have 2000/XP required that I have any knowledge of.
a couple of years ago. Nvidia gave him a FX5900 (I think. It was the one that sounded like a hair drier and got pulled from the market) to do his research with. Anyways, check out his papers on the subject.
I don't this is necessarily bad for AMD, I think this is more of intel running scared, pushing something to market just to beat the competition (Pentium 3 1.13 GHz recall anyone?).
Forgot to actually check the link (prooflinking... who needs it?). Anyways go here. Follow the link to the shinux players click on them and you find out that Windows and Macs are supported...
What pisses me off is the lame-ass EA Trax music. Yes you can switch it to the stuff on the XBox harddrive but when you shut off the XBox and restart the game, the EA crap is back again.

I'm thinking there is going to be a merger/buyout of ABC/Disney at some point.

Or do you just have a dedicated tablet that never leaves the viewing area? What about multiple TVs? Gets expensive really quick.

Who's taking a loss? Apparently the mark-up on the 8 GB version is 55%.

I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be any shark jokes... So...
Those fricken blue sharks must be more tough to breed than Sony anticipated.

Ahh, but for 3 years you get to use a card that is equivilent to the last (highest performing) card.
