Is it really twice as much, since they include a soda and popcorn? I know that around here, soda and popcorn will cost you almost as much as the movie ticket itself.

The problem is that a lot of people have grown up with the "throw more hardware at it to make it run faster" mentality since all they know is Microsoft products.
Microsoft originally planned for IE8 to default to rendering similarly to IE7, while super standards mode would have been an option. The outcry from critics helped convince Microsoft officials to instead default to super standards.
Thank you, Microsoft. You finally made a right choice (as long as IE8 is as good as you're saying).
"Apple generally believes that the goal of the algorithm should be to preserve the design of the typeface as much as possible, even at the cost of a little bit of blurriness.
Microsoft generally believes that the shape of each letter should be hammered into pixel boundaries to prevent blur and improve readability, even at the cost of not being true to the typeface."
I'm with you on the VGA output. DVI, however, is a bit too big to consider on a laptop, so IMHO they should switch to HDMI instead (which is probably where computer monitors are headed anyway).
As for the enter/backspace key, I hate those huge L-shaped enter keys and a regular-sized backspace key is a problem. In fact, on my Apple keyboard right here, the delete key is just a tad shorter than the return key.
If you rarely use backspace, more power to you. But for the rest of us, a regular-sized backspace key would be too much trouble. In fact, I'd even say that if you can't hit a non-L-shaped enter key, you're the one with a problem.

It's going to be a battle to the death between Spore and Starcraft II, at this point.
Man, FPS #54936-B was crap. I wish they'd make something at least half as good as FPS #1648-C, but it's been so long that I've given up hope.
Easy, just write a blue anti-virus program.
Great, now even the articles are making copies of themselves!

Oh, the popcorn is free, but he charges you 4$ for the popcorn bucket!

I wouldn't call most slashdotters "high nutrient environments".
And thanks to the AWESOME POWER OF ROM, I'll have to buy the next version of Opera DS! (if it ever comes out, which I don't think will happen).
Built-in Opera DS in the next DS rev (along with mp3 and MPEG-4/H.264 support with built-in SD slot) would be nice.

The real question is, at which resolution? Because 40 FPS @ 320x240 isn't that useful...
Won't somebody think of Charlie?
I remember that idiot. Later that day he returned his CD-ROM drive because he said his coffee mug didn't fit in the holder.
You should be making websites that work fine in Firefox, Opera and Safari and then add IE conditional comments to patch things up for IE6 and IE7.
If you don't use crappy CSS hacks and go with IE conditional comments, it's actually pretty easy.

Yeah but how much does a NEC SX9 cost?

It's not dead, and it wants to go for a walk!
It feels happy! It feels happy!
If you call 8 FPS "playing".
Am I the only one seeing those alternative uses of GPUs as some kind of re-birth of the Amiga design?
Well, they did throw spears at it.

What do you mean 1.6 atom? So, it's one core with 18 electrons? Or what?
Yeah, but the electrons are like math co-processors and graphic accelerators and such...
