the first time that a company like square was able to tell the story they desired to without losing any of its power
No it wasn't. Had Square went with Sega as opposed to Nintendo, they never would have been asked to tone down their Japanese releases for the American audience. Nintendo screwed over both Sony and Square, and apparently this time was the last straw for Square. Sony offered them a good deal because having square on board would boost their image in the buying publics mind and Square felt it was time to leave Nintendos censors behind.
The revolution was gamers were growing up and Nintendo treated the North American market like they were going to be eternally 8 years old. Square could do FF7 and beyond based on what they had done with 6 and earlier, not because of 7 on it's own.
That only makes sense if the people in the household wish to learn how to use what you've mentioned. Since current evidence points to the fact that most people look at computers as a magical box that can not be understood, the chances of them learning how to do a fraction of what you suggest is about as likely as you winning the lottery.
The XP file sharing wizard is too much for a lot of people and you think a raid array sharing up OS images over a network via PXE makes sense?
Does anyone actually think the "net cafe" is going to be a mainstay of our society? The only reason it isn't now is because North America is affluent enough to have most households have their own and it is an extension of the same 'needs' that drive everyone to believe they must own a car and must own a house and must own this or that to be successful in their life.
Net cafes do very well in just about every other country with decent internet access.
No. Perhaps you'll have a choice of storage engines in the next version of SQL Server.
Anyway, other then VMS, is there anyone else who has actually shipped a database-type filesystem? I heard of one project trying to do the same thing with PostgreSQL but never heard of anything after that.
What about using the iTunes set top box that will read your iTunes music and video library and operate as if it was just another componant to your home theater?
IIRC, the idea was to do away with the idea of a stable kernel, do all the development in one place and let the distro maintainers deal with stability issues. You're not really supposed to be building your own kernel anymore.
Exactly what have they been doing in the past 5 years that they can't give the go ahead to something that has flown for over 20 years with only 2 disasters? They know they'd be blamed if something went wrong, and thats a big reason why they won't give their blessing. If something goes wrong they can fall back on "I told you so."
The Shuttle is probably statistically safer then your car.
The Xbox has parts a PS1 did not. While you may be able to believe that the CPU on the XBox might have been more efficient then the PS1 (Doubtful) its hard to believe that you would assume that those savings would make up for having a GPU, HDD and all the other components as well.

Whoosh.
Which is why Intel can never hope to be as big of a microprossessor company as AMD.
Nope, it was a conspiracy
Someone, somewhere in the military has named a cluster SKYNET. They had to have.

Well the autobahn was made to move tanks and whatnot for a war. Maybe the Interstate planners just thought too small.
Since the ad is not going into the NY Times, I doubt many of the NY Times readers will be moved by the ad at all.
maybe it's because I'm canadian
Absolutely, ad campaigns should say nothing at all that the target audience understands, it might offend someone from another part of the world.

I believe that would be dust.

Actually it's more like thinking there might be a poster with a sense of humour around here.
It means you chose to use an inferior language.
Except Jurassic Bark. You can only watch that once unless you have no heart.
It's funny because it's poisonous.
You think they care that some geek somewhere can't see their free content?
An answering machine. Don't answer till you know who it is, and if they don't leave a message you probably didn't want to talk to them anyway.
What about using the iTunes set top box that will read your iTunes music and video library and operate as if it was just another componant to your home theater?
I know it doesn't exist yet.

Perhaps you still live in a cave, but most of those in the western world do not. And yes, they need hygiene products.
I assume you never use shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, or soap then?
