For how many of those should you write instead "that Microsoft bought and supports"?
And how many of those can you take and say "gee, this is actually a product with quality, well designed, stable, good."?
Just asking...
Exercise for the reader: work out how you're going to power the climber
I've been wondering, would a pulley system work in a GSO configuration?
Whenever we wanted to lift 1 ton of weight, we'd actually pull down 1 ton (being kept in orbit), making it easier to lift. I guess.
?
Seriously now, it's the very same bullshit. It does not matter whether it's locked or not. Pointless difference...
Tomorrow someone will patent a similar idea, differing only in that it will make available all data randomly, sometimes it will, sometimes won't... Jesus.
Apple is probably just playing the game, and the game stinks.
"CGI trailer with no in-game gfx that may very well not have anything to do with any real gameplay whatsoever. Looks cool..."
There, seems more reasonable now, albeit longer:)

I still remember those Trespasser "screenshots" and trailers, and look it that one turned out.
Still, for the hw at the time they actually did a good job! It was just too overhyped.
Those guys were pretty high in the hierarchy, I'm sure they'd make sure they'd be...hmmm... invisible to the system.
Very much without exception, these systems don't get to spy on everyone, just on the sheep. And terrorists. But mostly on sheep.
*meeeeeeeehhhh*
Well, to be fair, those in charge were the ones who changed everything. The cynic in me thinks the vested interest in turning everyone in scared sheep spoke higher.
So, 9/11 shouldn't have changed everything, because nothing really changed. People have died, and life goes on.
More than 40000 deaths per year in fatal traffic accidents should put things in perspective.
Well, it's clear this makes no sense in a Vista context, it has nothing to do with WINE (not a virtualization solution), and of course supposes they change any licenses they need to in order to allow an easy virtualization solution in a Windows 7, 8, 9, whatever they'll like to call it.
"A thief walks into a fine winery, replicates one of the bottles with his treckie replicator, and walks away without paying anything".
See, the bottle stays in the fine winery, no thievery actually happened. And no piracy.
Nearly all of the greatest scientists in history, prior to the modern era when we decided religion was for "teh craziez," were deeply religious men, and in fact their religion was a bulwark in how they approached science.
Either that or they just didn't want to get into any trouble, all with the inquisition, the witch burning, the being turned into an outcast, etc.
In that kind of society, where is the advantage in that?...
Good point. Maybe that's the whole issue. Before, ages ago, I'd go to the movies and returned home cursing myself for having paid for such a piece of crap. More often than not the trailers only made it worse, they have the only good scenes in the movie...
Nowadays, if I can, well, "evaluate" a movie, I'll go see it in the cinema only if it's really good...:)
On the other hand, I can't remember when I last went out for a movie, since I've noticed that a home-theatre beats the cinema experience in almost any way.
I actually like to have variables names that tell me something about the kind of stuff they represent.
Nothing wrong with having a class called... ColorMatchingPattern, and a variable called aColorMatchingPattern.
The compiler doesn't complain, for it it's pretty much the same as having a class called CMP and a variable called c.
I find it more readable for someone trying to get familiar with the code.
On the other hand, macros can suck.

"and admit we can't fight religious nuts."
And we all know there are plenty of those back home...
You can always try installing http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx (look for Alt-Tab Replacement).
It gives you a preview before switching. Works pretty well. Cheers.

One would think they'd try to make it better than the DS!
I wonder if they take into account the heating that toy generates when making those calculations! ^_^

I haven't RTFA, but I'm sure it's nothing but some image recognition algorithms that detect mouth-opening.

What about an iPhone? A N800? Hell, any phone can store data.
It's not only NASA. They'd smack you one gladly if you told them that the USA are smoothly and bumplessly becoming the USSA.
Sad fascist days, really.

Backwards compatibility shouldn't really be an issue nowadays, they should be able to take care of that with virtualization, shouldn't they?
Just a small patch to your scenario:
"A thief walks into a fine winery, replicates one of the bottles with his treckie replicator, and walks away without paying anything".

Exactly. Buoyancy should be made illegal.
And that's nothing a makeup mirror doesn't solve. Just being MacGyverish.
Ditto. However, its operating silence, or lack thereof, might be an issue.
So let me get this straight: When X Crashes you lose your current session, right? Which means that OOo document you were working on just went "poof"
True, but OpenOffice would have gotten a chance of saving that document. For all intents and purposes it is a bit better than a BSOD.

More important than that, to most of us, is that it will make a huge difference in the suitability for home theatre applications.
