It bothers me that the device has to be hacked to do what hackers want
FTFY. Seriously, people who read Slashdot are not regular people. We usually expect more, though some of us can still buy things understanding their limitations. I didn't buy a Mac mini thinking I could run Starcraft II on Ultra video settings and I didn't buy a Wii thinking I could play Halo Reach.
There's basically zero legal sources for DivX files, so why would Apple support that old format? H.264/AAC is the standard and has been for a few years already.
Even Handbrake dropped DivX support, for crying out loud.
I would think the answer if obvious. Sand, you see, is extremely small and could get everywhere inside the computer. That's why companies don't sandbox their products.
What about stopping that stupid cross-domain mess and only allow subdomains to be used? Sure it's going to break a lot of things (including banners...), but it would solve a lot of problems.
Nichelle Nichols: "It's about that rip in space-time that you saw!" Stephen Hawking: "I call it a Hawking Hole." Fry: "No fair! I saw it first!" Stephen Hawking: "Who is the Journal of Quantum Physics going to believe?"
They may have appointed him as the official contact person, but in the event it does happen, nobody really knows how and where first contact will happen. It might very well be with a farmer in the middle of nowhere, or with a penguin in the arctic.
I actually have a few, already soldered up and tested. I made a mistake with the hole size for the IC pin headers that go into the protoboard, so I needed to drill those holes to fit the pins. The ISP header holes are just fine, though.
I'll be putting those on eBay in a few days, just search "attiny85" and you should find it (currently only two results on eBay.com, for the IC only).
FYI, I connect to the ISP header via the old STK500, I have no idea if it will work with anything else, but all six pins of the ISP header are wired to the correct pins for the ATtiny25/45/85.
It's very similar to the one from Tinkerlog but with only the ISP header and a small capacitor between the power pins (hidden under an IC socket to take less room). I'd say it's roughly half the size of the Tinkerlog one.
That's why I prefer simple, smaller carrier boards instead. They got the ISP header and sometimes a place for a crystal+caps or a resonator and a power supply connector at most.
I had a small batch made for the ATtiny85, and my PCBs only adds one row above and below for the carrier board pins (useful for connecting into protoboards), and 2.5 columns more to the width for the ISP header.
Microsoft could take a page or two from Google's handbook and offer a faster paced roadmap to IE. Like fixing some of the lingering CSS bugs and adding HTML5 support.

Actually, the new AppleTV does have wireless just like the old one.
What next, RealMedia and VQF support?

P.S.: Slashdot really needs a "smartass" moderation option. Like funny, wouldn't count toward the karma.

If you want sand, bring your laptop to the beach.
And how do you feel about the source of all these problems? Is there someone named B.G. at the top of your list?

It says slashdot.org in my URL bar but since the last few months the comments of users appear to be from digg.
This is Slashdot. Do you really expect me to comment AFTER reading the summary?
Since the older processors and RAM were built with bigger transistors, aren't they safer, i.e. less prone to errors due to cosmic radiation?

Yeah I remember now... the story was intriguing and promising at the beginning and then it all went trough hell.

Up and at them!
OMG, this robot just brainwashed that guy!

I speak both french and english, and IMHO "Duemilanove" sounds weird and is hard to say.
On the other hand, "Uno" is much easier to remember and pronounce but will probably get a lawsuit from Mattel.

Explanation for the graphics guys out there: the Pentagon is kinda like the alpha channel.
Maybe they're negotiating to only pay the costs of the publisher, without the profits of the first print run.
Akihabara has girls dressed up as books? Hurray! /Zoidberg
I got both copies right here. In the original version, Han shot first.
We're working on it! Coming soon*
* soon is between 4 and 7 years.
It's too confusing.
