And what is the reboot rate of various Linux distros? Unless they're willing to do a comparison under the same protocols, I very much hope that no one here points to this as more proof of needing to switch to Linux, even though I know it will come up.
it still doesnt matter. As long as Dell, HP, and Gateway continues to ship P4s in their Joe Consumer-model computers, AMD won't get anywhere in the market except among people who actually know what a processor is [if asked, most people would think its a cell phone brand or something].
for £149, couldn't you just get a cheap PDA and just never take it out of notepad mode? plus if you ever felt the incentive to actually use it, you've got that opportunity. Get a pen-shaped stylus and you're set.
You must be kidding. Your son is 16 and you don't let him see PG-13 movies? I'm 15 and let me tell you that that's just ridiculous. What possible reason could you have to shelter him like that?
This cursory system of safeguards...remains simplistic in its dictates, leaving open the specific details for implementing such a system
Well, obviously the specific details have to be left open, or a robot wouldn't be able to operate efficiently because of the strict rigor of their rules. In fact, even with 3 (or 4, depending on whether you count the Zeroth law), Asimov's Olivaw character (and others at other points) are severely limited by even the 3 'open' laws.
On the same topic, Lost Levels had an interesting article awhile back on Sonic X-treme, the would-be flagship game for the Saturn and how it went through development hell and eventually ended up being scrapped. You can read about it here
Open source music? As in, you can see the source code of the song you're listening to? Isnt that called 'sheet music'? If it is, Ibelieve just about all music is available open source.
I'd like to protest that. You must not have been around in the mid-1990's. IE was actually the top of the heap at that point (is that a compliment? Probably not, as its hardly changed since then).
You're complaining about Microsoft animating things? If you havent noticed, Mac OS X is much worse; things flying around and being generally retarded all over the place.

Check the year 2006. They should have it.

yet another pointless add-on to clutter up yahoo more...they're reminding me of that new game katamari damacy...

jesus CHRIST, what is wrong with the mods? this is anything but 'insightful'-if anything, its troll.

How do you get 250 years out of 23rd century to 24th?
for your huge breach of star trek canon, your nerd license is revoked.
forgot to link to what I was referring to. Sorry about that.
I live in Minnesota. Wanna try and convince me that voting for a third part throws away my vote?
Obligatory Penny-Arcade strip
both the Elite Force and Armada series' are excellent. What are you talking about?
if you're downloading .exe's off p2p, you deserve to get viruses.
Except that they're only accepting games that were at one point for commercial sale.
0 for 9, you say? Must've represed memories of The Final Frontier.

80 wpm, 77 wpm adjusted...interesting, thats faster than when I tested out of keyboarding at the beginning of high school.
They've still got great marketshare in the casual computer users that prefer unix. Both of them.

using the most unsafe browser there is: IE
I'd like to protest that. You must not have been around in the mid-1990's. IE was actually the top of the heap at that point (is that a compliment? Probably not, as its hardly changed since then).
How are you comparing Firefox' prompt patching to IE's lack of tabbed browsing? The two have little to nothing in common...
I read video game magazines such as Electronic Gaming Monthly and GMR, and also tabletop gaming magazines like Inquest and Scrye.

well, Scroll Lock can do that too, and its much more used than Caps Lock, so thats one reason to keep Caps Lock shot down.
