As a side note, I do not think the obsolescence of early digital cameras is just a ploy to make more money, the tech has really advanced there. I still have a 2004 Sony, and the picture quality is horrible compared to any modern camera.
Home users are not Adobe's clientele: who would ever pay $2600 for a software suite? Well, if you work with graphics, you probably will. Mainly because their stuff is pretty good, but also because you're used to it. That piracy was ultimately good for them.
The interface is what ruins Chrome, how come no one bothers to fix it? A good interface is consistent, internally and externally: the app must belong with the operating system around it. Chrome is alien in any system, it does not have the same window borders, menu bar, or anything else as every other app. That's tolerable from a tiny indie team, like jDownloader, but from a megacorporation like Google this is simply cringeworthy.
Although cost is a concern, the true reason why ALL governments, no exception, must move to open systems is because it is simply unacceptable that a public service be ever subject to vendor lock-in.
When's the last time anyone you know even considered buying a CRT?
My old TV stopped working. Sis' godmother offered to buy me a new TV. I said, "get yourself a new TV and let me have your old one", because CRTs are better for classic consoles (even more so because FUCK YEAH S-VIDEO, I hate that most new TVs lack that). Also, to hell with widescreens, it's just a scam to sell you less screen for the same "inches". The honest measurement of screen size is the area (width x height), not the hypotenuse. And in that sense, squarer = larger.
Crysis 2 was not bad, it was just incomplete. You beat it and you get a cliffhanger to the sequel. Is that a trend or what, Bulletstorm did the same, Quake 4 did the same... this is bullshit! When I beat a game, I want to get an actual ending. I demand triumph! Bad guy dead, all threats gone, peace restored, world saved!
Precisely! Now they use digital fx that looks more fake than the practical fx from back then. And nowadays there's the damn color correction that makes everything yellowish, like we're looking at the world through a jar full of piss.
The rule number one of interface design is consistency. All programs must look and function like they belong together with the operating system and with each other. Developers must heed the interface guidelines as a devout believer heeds his holy scripture. Well, Chrome says "fuck you" to consistency. It is completely alien, with its own weird blue borders; it looks nothing like the system or any other program. This shit is acceptable from indie freeware like jDownloader, not from a large corporation's flagship web browser.

They do porn about jazz vocal improvisation?

When did the ruling elites ever give a fuck about the common good?
In Portuguese, sopa means soup and pipa means kite.
Something called "Protect IP" can never be good, because "IP" is a monstrous scam that ought to be abolished for the good of all mankind.

Pfff... no music = no fun.

When writing quickly I have a tendency to drop random words.
So you accidentally the whole post?
Ahnuld's best movie, probably.
And 20% cooler.
Because, of course, it's impossible to create a Slashdot name like that unless the creator is a lawyer.
No, but we know he is.
I wish the Canadians would make their mind up. Either American or British English
...or French.
That's how Gnome 2 was set to look in Mint.

They did fork Gnome, it's called Maté.
I simply can't understand how a browser with such a godawful interface could get so popular.
Last I heard, the codename was "Xbox Loop".
