why do you assume wanting people to be truthful about something ammounts to justifying it?
for example, no matter whether I'm for or against the right to have an abortion I don't want people describing the doctors as "baby murderers". it is incorrect.
and anyone who needs to make incorrect statements to make their argument sound strong should always be regarded as suspicious.
> I have one of these recalled Powerbook batteries, and right now it's running at home unsupervised. Great.
you're far more likely to have a problem resulting from choosing to run equipment unsupervised than you are from the possibility of having one of these defective batteries so don't get all bitchy about it.
very good, especially the drag and drop rearrangement ability. but I doubt I'll be using it. my gmail is just for the very rare untrusted sign up, safari and firefox support google search from the search bar, and safari has far better RSS feed management than this.
no, it's a case of MS looking at all the trouble they've got into with bundling IE and WMP, and deciding that the way to piss everyone off even more is to make an OS that ONLY runs IE and WMP.
>Sony Playstation Portal (or whatever it's called), and now cell phones will have video capabilities of different sorts
my phone has the abilty to play video because it also has the ability to RECORD video. so should the ipod video be a camera too?
the PSP has video but it also has a screen that's already bigger than the largest ipod. plus it remains to be seen if anyone will seriously use the PSP video beyond initial novelty value.
protect both as far as I care. I just don't want to see a repeat of crap like the guy who got a threat to be taken to court because he created an mp3 that had a name that was similar to a copyrighted song.
can you guarantee only illegal network activity will be affected by these measures?
I find it even more confusing that just a few days ago there was an article about Longhorn where MS admitted they realised security must be in there from the beginning and not bolted on afterwards. so now they're trying to bolt on some security? and asking you to give them money for this?
Microsoft's tactics can always be worked out by considering what action would show the most disrespect to their users and the least amount of pride or professionalism in their products or services.
>However the net velocity would be zero, as the net spatial displacement would be zero (at least every time you come back to the start point.)
aaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! this is a horrible thing to say. although you could argue you're making some kind of sense, you could completely mislead people. just say that the velocity is always 100MPH tangential to the circle and leave discussions of this meaningless "net velocity" you've come up with alone.
1. we're talking about the next-gen consoles, I don't care about an old re-released console. 2. I said "at least" one company. I don't like what MS did with the X-box and I don't like where they look to be going with the X-box 360.
why this idea again? it was crap the first 10 times. even if you get it working perfectly, it'll still be a waste of time. it's BORING, why are you boring us, you bores.
who came up with the clever design idea of making eEye's slogan "Vulnerabilty Is Over" and then pasting it at the bottom of each vulnerability report as if it's a status message?
reminds me of the Simpsons scene where someone is reporting a crime via a radio and says "over" at the end of the transmission. then Wiggum says "thank god that's over". karma for the first person to find the quote, but I only have the real kind not the/. stuff.

reminds me of someone's sig - "Microsoft is not the answer, Microsoft is the question. the answer is no."
not wanting this to be an OS flamefest though, just take the above as a joke or leave it alone.
the part about handing in unsolvable homework is great, though probably slightly embellished.
>...the experience of loosing their virginity...
loosing? what's that? when you haven't actually lost your virginity but loosened it up a bit?

nice one.

now we're' reading about couple-of-years annoncements about couple-of-years consoles.
...between the press release and the posit seems to be wishful thinking.
Even "indie games" have a far larger license budget than an interested coder would be prepared to lay down just to play about with some ideas.

...will it have a stopwatch !?
um... don't Apple already have "an iBook sized playback device"... the iBook?
I can't see Apple making a crippled version of the iBook that can just about play video but nothing more.
didn't As Seen On TV already spell out how Apple understands that portable video is retarded (which it is).

...deliberately harming a network? seems like there should be. or does that only apply if you're DOSing a company who can afford to buy laws?

Consider the recent "Thought Thieves" poster.

jeez, another noob who doesn't understand sound quality includes the abilty to reproduce silence as well as thunderous bass...
if your home entertainment is such that a loud fan in the corner of the room is acceptable then your standards suck.

pool your money and buy an idea off Apple.
if I wanted a big, loud games machine I'd use a PC.
