nVidia's post-NV30 chips actually have a protection logic much like Intel's processors. Temperature is being checked and the clockspeed reduced if it gets too high. The whole thing also slows down when you're not stressing the video card.
That the community is compensating a compromise somewhat, or that others compromise as well, doesn't mean it has to be acceptable for everybody. Many people use the iPod probably haven't even thought about it. Many people probably haven't bought an iPod for that reason. What's the problem? So Apple gets flak for a compromise many geeks don't agree with. Cope.
Why can't other player maker come up with better UI? Why can't we come up with something better and original? Why does every Linux Desktop UI has to look like Windows or Aqua?
Because some things might already be very close to optimal?
A very different way of navigating a music player's content would be integrating a tiny keyboard to enter details about what you want directly instead of scrolling around. Another is integrating voice commands, which would be extremely direct (hit button - "playlist funky" or "song metallica enter sandman"). But I don't see either of those replacing the simple yet workable UIs we currently have on those things, for various reasons. And both would have to work around some of the simple things Apple is trying to patent.
There's no difference between those two, so what's the point? The parent wasn't concerned with the legality of it anyway.
Where is the misunderstanding?

I'm not sure how pirating comes from any of your discussion.
Piracy is part of why console games are more profitable, which is (presumably) why IS included the Xbox in their plans from the beginning. And that caused much of the current situation.
I think piracy causes natural selection for PC games to be much harder than it used to be. How many people confine themselves to only buying the best games while downloading the ones that aren't utterly great? I bet a big part of the first-world freeloaders do actually buy titles the likes of what Half-Life 2 promises to be. But for all those merely good titles an ISO is enough...
Oh yes it is. The web is where I, Mr. User, am in control. Not a stream of pictures and sound controlled by a central station. And frankly, more intrusive ads will only serve to annoy us, not generate more sales.
This "one third of the source" was just the publisher trying to put into layman's terms how much was actually copied. They said it was one third of the GAME, and that got twisted somehow. I heard it compiles fine, so there should be all of it...
And what's being sold is the E3 demo that had been leaked as well.

Well, the question is what the additional expense is of supporting that remaining 10%.
Isn't supporting practically 100% of browsers at no extra expense why we have web standards?

Too bad our terrorist bit has now been set by Homeland Security.
I wonder if it was the MPAA or the RIAA that wrote this one. ;)
That should be "informative", though. ;)
But then, the ISS wasn't a competitive effort...

Now those geeks have their priorities straight!
Would HD-DVD actually make a difference for movies filmed around 1980? You can't get more quality than the original material offers.
I like Radial Context, it works like gestures but is a menu with visual feedback, which is very useful when you don't know it inside out.
You can be sure they're planning for it to be 90nm.
Perhaps social engineering beats exploits afterall.
>Their little text-based ads rock the socks off
>other ads... ### it's because the ads so closely
>related to what's on the page.
It's also that they're much nicer ads than most others we see trying to stab each other for the user's attention.
I have an HDTV. It's a nice 63cm Philips, says "HDTV" at the front. About ten years old by now.
Nothing to do with the new standard, but I can see why more people than expected say they have one.
>then they probably could patch both rovers
Would that be the first patch that leaves earth?

If you want some nostalgia, you can still download old versions, including the very basic Winamp 0.2a, from Winamp Heaven.
Is this so wrong on the net?
Oh yes it is. The web is where I, Mr. User, am in control. Not a stream of pictures and sound controlled by a central station. And frankly, more intrusive ads will only serve to annoy us, not generate more sales.
It depends, does Valve's STEAM system go over the same pipe?
I wonder why they don't just take the harddrives and other storage. It's not like they'll find anything on his video card or NIC...

There could be a temporary /. mirror for smaller sites. Delete after 3 days or so.
