I was on Nvidia's side (vs ATI) against all my buddies; then I reformated, and installed the new nvidia drivers. My entire system shit a brick every time I tried to play a video. I reformatted again, thinking I had messed up the install somehow, and the same thing happened. On a whim, I downgraded (a step at at time) several driver releases until I got to the 84. release and my video finally worked again.
I've been on the Nvidia side of the argument for a very long time, but damn if I wasn't pissed off when I had to futz around with a year+ old driver just to watch some movies on my pretty new monitor.
There has to be at least one person in a position of some power within Sony that constantly has his jaw on the floor. Unfortunately, with his jaw always on the floor, he can't speak his objections out loud.
I'm in the process of building an open source desk and I need one more computer to complete my setup. Anyone who sits in the chair will be free to use it, and by sitting in the desk, this applies to your computer as well. Think about it - by donating the computer to me, you could potentially be helping out tens of people. And, technically, seeing as how I'm ordained in the Unitarian Church, it could be seen as tax deductable.

Hmmm...I need to learn Dutch.
I bet if they stopped pissing off their consumer base we'd be more apt to purchase their products. Just a suggestion Sony execs...
"Hug me till you drug me, honey; Kiss me till I'm in a coma; Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny; Love's as good as soma."
Comedy genius.
Good. I* can't wait until everyone that can't properly use a computer doesn't want to anymore.
*Works tech support.
Lag frag!

If any company ever replaced my Guinness with Budweiser I'd smack a bitch.
