I have also followed Groklaw basically since they started, and you are basically scaremongering for the purpose of getting attention.
You know full well that no one is going to read through all of those documents unless they're getting paid for it. I'm pretty sure you didn't read them either, but base everything off of people's comments on the blog. Esp. given the fact that PJ never said that Solaris was illegally open sourced. In fact, I believe she said that Sun already had that right, regardless of whether or not SCO had the right to sign the contract with them.
I agree. I was a Commodore 64 user during the 8-bit era. My first experience with MegaMan was quite recently when I played the Nintendo games on the NES emulator on the PSP. I bought MegaMan 9 for my PS3 the day it came out, and I'm really enjoying it.
I think that we have recently seen a resurrection of 2D gameplay, both in terms of rereleased 8-bit games as well as completely new games (including the amazing Super Stardust HD, Bionic Commando Rearmed and the new king of 2D platformers Little Big Planet).
The revolution that has happened is that 2D games are no longer considered "old style" but rather a different, but equal, style. It has widened the range of available game types, and I don't see that going away until there is a completely new bandwagon everybody wants to jump on to in the same was as everybody went to 3D back when the PS1 came out.
Except for the fact that MS didn't invent Minesweeper. There is some history on Wikipedia and distinctly remember seeing it on the HP48 around 1990, years before Windows 95 came out.
Singapore is a good choice if you want to go to Asia. The language of business is English, and it's the common language that everybody uses unless they know you speak any of the other languages spoken here (Mandarin, Malay, Tamil...).
It's also a pretty foreigner-friendly environment so the transition when moving is very easy to handle.
How are users more protected in the iphone than they are on the Nokia phones (which happens to allow you run any applicaiton you want?).
I happen to be using Skype, and various IM apps over the 3G network with my Nokia. The integrity of the mobile networks seems to hold up pretty well in spite of this.
While Roughlydrafted is a very good, well-written and informative blog, you always have to remember that it's being written with an extremely pro-Apple mindset.
I could write a lot about where a lot of his Android comparisons doesn't really work, but that would just make me seem like I don't like the blog, which I actually do.
I was just about to prove you wrong, because I was pretty sure that Slashdot had finally gotten the Unicode stuff right. But, alas, I was wrong. They still manage to mess it up.
Oh well, it's a US site, so I wouldn't expect anything less from them.
You should try using it to debug applications. I use it a lot for this, and it's amazing. It's basically like a programmable debugger that can monitor a running process without really affecting its performance.
Why don't you just use the 32-bit version of Firefox? Work wonders, and natively runs 32-bit plugins.
You know, the whole point of the amd64 is that it is able to run 64-bit and 32-bit apps at the same time.

I have to admit I smiled a bit with joy when that happened. :-)
I presume you missed this.

A million or so this month, given current sales figures.
That's OK. No games are for everybody. As you have noticed, however, most people love it though.

Little Big Planet disagrees with you.
I'm not too far from Australia (Singapore) but obviously the Internet offering is night and day compared to you.

However, I think you'd have to stretch the word "standard" pretty far before you can even think of being able to apply foot to it...
Actually, Solaris doesn't use the BSD TCP stack. They completey replaced the stack in Solaris 10.

Great, now you have the worst of both worlds.
The phone itself is very nice. Everybody knows that Windows Mobile is crap, but the Dream will run Android...
Well, yes-yes-yes-yes-yes. :-)
Instead, you are given a link to a zdnet news story, which links to a blog, which contains the relevant link at the very bottom of the page.
At the very least, the zdnet news story was completely irrelevant.
I guess you have to have seen the movie...
The food you can get there is fantastic though. :-)

Was the authour just guessing? Last I looked, SMS'es were UTF-8. That means anything from 1 to 4 bytes per character. (that's bytes, 8-bit entities)
