When I look at the passenger airplane industry, there are only two choices: Airbus or Boeing.
They're the ones you see more usually in the US and Europe, I suppose, but there are others, such as Embraer, Bombardier, Sukhoi, Tupolev, and Antonov.
Perhaps, but it was designed by Intel's developement center in Haifa, Israel, codenamed "gesher" - hebrew for "bridge". They changed it because there was a political party with that same name there.
I love Apple's OS, I love their computers' style, but they have not produced a decent input device since they introduced the iMac. If I got an iMac right now, I'd put the keyboard and mouse aside, and get some quality stuff by companies like Unicomp, Cherry, Steelseries, Razer, or Logitech.

The start/all-programs menu for Win7 is vastly superior to XP
Nonetheless, both are near-unusable entanglements of chaos and irrational design. Contrast to Gnome's applications menu, which properly arranges all programs by category first, and alphabetical order next. Now that is how you design a good user interface: neat, logical, hierarchized.
You were using free software. According to Richard Stallman, the difference is philosophical, although in practice they achieve the same results: the production of more free software.
The Dreamcast's fine, we've established that. But I'm not really interested on a Wii, although I could get it eventually - and then only if I can run pirated Gamecube games. Then there's the hardcore supremo machine, the Saturn; it can do composite, S-Video, and SCART.
Then again, I guess I could just look into SCART-to-HDMI converters. But, to complicate matters, mine is a Brazilian Saturn (PAL-M), I wonder if that'd be a problem with an imported converter. I better ask around on gaming boards.
No, I have a Sega Saturn (about impossible to emulate decently), a Gamecube (the more recent model, without component output), and a Dreamcast (with a VGA box). I keep toying with the idea of getting a PS2, but whenever I get to play on it... hell, that controller! That thing is simply unacceptable!
I've been looking into TVs to replace my crappy ancient CRT set, and I can't find anything satisfactory. They keep adding shit I don't care about and don't want to pay for. I just want a screen, damnit! If I wanted my TV to access the web and run programs, I'd plug my goddamn computer to it. And much worse: at the same time, pretty much all manufacturers have abandoned S-Video and SCART. Since I have some classic game consoles that really could use something less shitty than composite, yet do not support component... this is the deal breaker. No legacy ports, no sale.

It's usually misattributed to Benjamin Franklin, although the earliest verifiable use seems to be in Usenet. See here.

Hi, Darl!
...but what do FREDDY KRUEGER and MICHAEL MYERS think about this matter?

Whoooaaaahhhh... This is Slashdot. You need to do that over, this time using car analogies.
Let's see... his "music" is as flat and uninteresting as a 1980s Fiat Uno or a Lada Riva. How about that?
I correct
You accidentally a word.
Problem: if you pay for your media, you are giving financial support to the pro-DRM, anti-privacy MAFIAA.

Nice. But this is still my favorite birthday song.

Sauce for the goose, Mr. Saavik...
What the hell? You can debate Saavik's species, but she was definitely a female!

What? Vanguard was a great game, one of the best shooters on the Atari 2600!

If only it were priced more sensibly. Even taking in account the "Apple tax", $699 is way too much for those specs.

No, you're not old, Daft Punk's soundtrack really sucked. I keep wondering, why the hell didn't they get Wendy Carlos to do it again?
I defiantly wouldn't put it in the same category as Transformers.
Whom do you defy not to put this movie in the same category as Transformers?
I do too, and I'm sure many do the same. It must have something to do with the fact that MechWarrior 2 is a far better, more memorable game.

So here we are on the verge of winning the war against noise pollution, and those motherfuckers WANT cars to be noisy?

Up to the 4th generation, that's true. After that, things get more complicated.
