Then don't. This product isn't for you. Why is it when ever Apple does *anything* Slashdot takes it as a personal affront? The iPod (lame), the iPhone (better Smartphones exist), the newest MacBook Pros (No Express Card slot), The built in batteries, etc. Apple, or any other company, isn't forcing you to do anything.
When McLaren or Maybach come out with new cars do you all complain that they're over priced and don't appeal to you? Why do you do it with computers?
Sort of reminds me of this xkcd. Fine, the Apple tablet doesn't appeal to you, why even bother making a comment?
Get your EE or ME degree and do controls. There's a whole field called "Mechatronics" dedicated to stuff like this.
I don't do anything but 'programming' all day. Data reduction via Matlab. CANape is scripted with more or less C. I know C, C++, Java, Matlab, Perl, PHP, VBA, Assembly (enough to read it), etc. It's just a tool.
But in addition to knowing that I know PID controllers (and how to implement in C or Assembly). It's just becoming such that knowing a how to program isn't the least common denominator. In the '70s what 18 year old boy COULDN'T fix his own car? It didn't mean he should be come a mechanic.
I work for a Fortune 100 company. We have an electronics division that does nothing but 'program'. Most program in Simulink, but for low level stuff we still have people that do C. (Stuff that runs real time.) We have people that are working on autonomous vehicles, people that write internal applications for the company, etc. I don't know a single "programmer". Every single person is an "Engineer" with either their Computer, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering degree.
There's plenty that's "innovative" about the new game. The innovation they added was polish.
The world had smart phones before the iPhone and the world had 2D side scrollers before NSMB. But Nintendo engineers seemed to have polished everything. The sound, the interactions, everything.
You're missing the point. I don't even think we're past the sand world.
It has to be one of the last times I can remember actually falling out of my chair laughing because of what was going on. I don't know if it was the picking up of people or shaking the controller or picking people up and shaking or just random other interactions that you never could make an AI do.
All of us grew up with the original NES. I remember when SMB3 came out and spending time at a friend's house trying to beat it.
Nintendo seems to have hired some... amazing people as of late. It's indescribable how well New SMB pays tribute to the original games. For example, the "challenge" board starts off identical to SMB3...but then it's so much more. The music, the worlds, Big props to Nintendo.

I do think that for an hour me and 3 friends said nothing but: "What the fuck", "Dumbass what the fuck" or "Going bubble".
I've heard them a few times give quite a bit of misinformation. They haven't the slightest clue about the differences between WVO, SVO, BioDiesel. Say that 10,000 mile oil changes are 'stupid' (It's VW recommended, they go up to 30,000 km in Europe).
The only people who seem to think Manual transmissions require thinking and or labor are people that have never driven manual transmissions. It becomes a second nature after 6 or so months and 2 or so days in a new vehicle.
It's like typing vs speech to text. Speech to text people who have never typed (Rare now, but maybe in the future) will quickly point out "Why would I ever want to physically manipulate keys? I mean. It's a mundane task. I'll let the computer do it for me."
I don't need to 'think' how to type or where the keys are. I just decide that I need to write this and my fingers just move to the positions they need to be in. The last 2 times I've had to 'think' about are when I learned QWERTY and when I learned DVORAK. After the first month. I just knew where the keys were. It's the exact same with a manual transmission. I know what 4000 RPM sounds like, I know what lugging sounds/feels like. I know what gear I'm in. I put no more consideration into shifting than I do walking. (Then again we can't all have Randy Newman coaching us through, "Left foot right foot foot right foot left foot right foot".
Funny thing is people cite "city" driving as worst case scenario, but when I went to India EVERYONE had a manual transmission. Even the autorickshaws are manual.
Debian used to have the "Non-US" repositories. I can't see why they couldn't go back to it.
As much as everyone hates it, Ogg isn't going to win this. As far as I know there isn't a single hardware decoder for it yet. Almost any newer Nvidia card will do it. VDPAU under Linux works AWESOME. It will even upscale SD content (feature set C). Broadcom has their MiniPCI card that a ton of NetBooks run. I bought one for my AppleTV so that I can do 1080p. XBMC supports it. OS X should support it soon.
Dr. Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your illness and I realized that it's not actually a bacteria. Every bacteria on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but your illness do not. It moves to an area and it multiplies and multiplies until every natural resource is consumed and the only way it can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. You have a disease, a cancer. You're a plague and I will find you the cure.
They used Linux because it was easy. Changing the GPL is just going to make companies like Tivo stop using FOSS, they'll just move to a project that has licensing that fits their needs better.

The Year of the E-Bicycle

When I was 10-12 I liked riding my bike to and from two local towns. (No clue how I talked my parents into it.) One was 5 miles away and the other was 8. I went to a day camp in one and 4th grade in the other. Now I didn't ride every day, but maybe once a week and only when it was warm.
Riding home from day camp one day I passed a pickup full of redneck jackasses. 2 up front and 2 in the back. I caught an apple square across the thy, left a bruise that took a few weeks to go away.
Never told my parents, but that was the last time I rode.
GIMP was written by programmers. They add features that they think everyone wants and implements them the way think think is best.
Photoshop was started by photographers. People that wanted to do stuff digitally. It wasn't until I started going through my dad's old photography books that I understood what 1/2 of the tools were and why they were named.
You FOSS zealots can keep on about GIMP, I'll keep getting work done in Photoshop.
Explain how that one works. I can't find any prices on the Kaleidescape, but I've made some very cheap XBMC setups. I don't count my NAS in the cost because it acts as my ZFS server for my house.
In 99.9% of the cases. However there are exceptions to everything Mythbusters do. There are statistical exceptions to a few of their experiments. Trust me.
When dealing with an electric fence it's best to go and grab it with both hands than tip toe up to it and try and touch it lightly. However I sort of like the feeling of the pulse traveling across my body.
My Uncle: Ok, everyone step in. I can't get you all in this shot. My Mom: Alright, this is the last photo of all the grandkids, grandma is only going to die once.
Broadcom has their Mini PCI-e decoder cards for all 3 OS's. NVIDIA has VDPAU on Linux and something on Windows, ATI has their thing. Flash has preliminary suport in 10.1.
As far as I know, none of them do hardware decoding of OGG, but do do H.264.
It was set up as a 'discussion system' 20+ years ago. It's mirrored across the world rather quickly. There's even a Google front end.
There's MORE than enough bandwidth. Pirates figured out how to post binaries (and large ones at that) a long time ago. Make it a moderated group, tada. WikiLeaks replacement. Put a few servers up in countries with decent laws and mirror between those.

Exactly the problem with FOSS image programs.

Hardware decoding will dictate where HTML5 goes.

Why not post on that of which we do not speak?
