    Except everyone will get pissed off if they can't return something. There are scores of mindless highschoolers that would use homebrew games if they were available, but really won't sweat it if they can't. Methinks sony dosen't really care about losing a fraction of the fanatical slashdot crowd.

    Because they make their money on the software. The PSP costs them money.

    I did actually mean to put that in. Oops.

    Just like if you want something that hasn't been packaged for windows? At least on linux you can *usually* "./configure; make; make install;" if there isn't a package. Now this is beyond most people, sure. But much less so than giving someone code on a windows machine, where there likely wouldn't even be a readme you could blindly follow.

    There exist numerous DLA packages which provide this functionality.

    They want their petrol based internal combustion engine back...

    But they will be greatly faster. Each OSX revision gets faster and cleaner. This is opposed to certain other companies' operating systems which tend to do the opposite.

    And plenty other places. I've bothered looking at London and Tokyo. I am sure there are others.

    Yes, and firefox has bundled thunderbird with firefox because there is a link to it on their website.

    Surely nine months of... labor charges are more than the raw materials.

    "Hey buddy, I have one and you can buy it before anyone else for only $150" Thats what they're trying to prevent. Gouging. This is perfectly acceptable.

    But you have to power the braile terminal, which has lots of little electromagnets.

  20. sorry guys on RIAA Supporting Commercial P2P · · Score: 1

    This one makes sense. They get money for the song, you get credits for helping distribute it with which you can buy more songs. As long as the credits required for your free download aren't insane, this is rather well thought out.

    do your work on the pc and then you can go outside.

  22. Re:slashvertising on IBM Tablet Announced · · Score: 4, Informative

    Lenovo has been manufacturing IBM's laptops for quite some time. The only difference is that they bought the division from IBM. They even kept the IBM employees. This was actually something they specifically had to have in the deal. They wanted everything to remain the same, only with a new owner.

    and now people can shoulder surf in stores, have someone grab your wallet, withdraw money, and you have no recourse because they got your pin.

  24. Re:Why? on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    It's not about that. It's about placing restrictions on distributing modifications. With a trademark in place they have to sue you if you release something called Firefox even if it was derived from Firefox. You can call it shoebox and be fine, but they are exploring if restricting what you can call it is too much for debian's lofty ideals.

    speaking of the cisco VPN client. use that on your own laptop. depending on your country of travel, wifi may be available for a modest fee.
