You mean like the virtual console controller, shell addon to the wii-remote, various-whatever-controller connected to the wii-remote, the gamecube controller,...
Is that you as consumer also have to pay for that crap if you get the product. I remember that Pepsi and McDonalds each invested over 1 billion dollar / year in advertising, who pays for that?
But the most boring part is that it pollute our environment (I don't know how to put it, I don't mean with chemicals and stuff, but with logotypes) everywhere. In towns, magazines, TV programs, web pages, and you don't get paid for watching that shit either.
If everyone decided to not buy any heavily advertised product we could get rid of all this shit.
The higher price during configuration is another warranty option, switch it to a cheaper one.
Also for whatever reason dell laptops with smaller screen are more expensive, maybe they sell less of them or whatever? For Apples they are always cheaper instead. So you could get a better deal on an dell laptop if you didn't tried to match it with the macbook.
However there is a cost in developing your own browser and to a less extent media player (they can actually earn money on the later one using their WMA and (won't) play for sure.
I think that if you decide that you won't send something on the next pulse or whatever you will be waiting forever for it to come. It's probably very easy to show in a short timescale, and not that weird.
(Kind of exactly how it would be if the pulse came afterwards, send one and you'll get one, decide not to send on and.. well.. guess what?)
In the BSDS (atleast NetBSD or if it was FreeBSD) you can select all the licenses you accept in a file and then the ports/pkgsrc system knows about it later on.
Well all I did where to go to www.opensolaris.org and get the Solaris Nevada Build 38 disks at 7MB/s and then install the OS which came with bundled Java;)
I get the point, but it's not a big deal. With both portage and freebsd ports you have to get the files and then the package manager handles the rest doesn't it? If that is the only reason to discuss why Java must be open-source, well, when it's a weak point.
Also when people complain about memory usage, how would open-sourcing Java help? I think Sun got some skilled engineers inhouse aswell.
Just think about if you ran Windows, when you would have to go our and take a walk to the store to get the software!
Wasn't Java called slow because people used Microsofts JVM in the begining? I could accept that you said that Java used lots of memory when you start the first application, but would you really say it's slow? Anything to back that up with?

Just turn on your massive black hole.
Oh, to much chapter 3 Paper Mario: The thousand year door for you to?

And it could pay for the infrastructure, they don't have to earn that much money on old games which noone would buy in case they wasn't there anyway.

What, because we see that BSD works?
Wow, the last part of your comment was so true, and I haven't ever thought about it before.
Hum, (not that it will happen) MacOS userland on another (very likely better) kernel? Yes please :)
Hurd? Who uses it?
What about the BSDs, OpenSolaris, Aros, Minix, and that AmigaOS/BeOS like os whatever it's called?
"500 MHz G3 laptop with 512 megs of RAM. Runs as fast as Ubuntu Linux, dual-booted on the same machine."
Which of course mean: Worse than dog slow.
The dell comes with Windows and stuff.
Regarding "built in hi-res webcam":
"Built-in iSight camera with 640-by-480-pixel resolution"
Yeah, hi-res!

Same for me, once again Apple screws is up, the really can't make attractive computer hardware.
In sweden the 80GB as addon cost 480 sek extra, however the black modell is 2000 sek extra, you do the math.

He is right
"If you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem"
It's not, the Wii will not cost much at all.
I can't even find the version notes, retarded of them to remove your summary and just as retarded to not make links to it.
What ads? I don't see any? Are you sure anyone from slashdot does?

But how many people tries to use two locales at once? I have no idea how it works, I run sv_SE.UTF-8 ;/

I linked to microsoft because it was the most weird or unexpected place to get it from.
