I may get a RTFA back at me, but I'll toss this out anyway just in case it's true. I would suspect odds are that he contacted them about the issue and they never got back to him, or was rude about it, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. If they gave him a hard time prior to him making the site, odds are they'd be unscrupulous enough to just steal the revamped site and claim it as their own if he offered it up to them on a concealed website.
The PS/2 has the best games followed by the Gamecube. XBox has Halo.
That's just not true. I have the X-box and the PS-2 and guess which one I (as well as some of my friends) stopped buying games for? And the primary reason is high definition support. So many of todays games are cross-platform available, so saying one companies games is better then the other is almost moot. What I want are, in this order:
1) Games (and most developers make games for as many platforms as possible)
Yea...great for the consumer. What about us folks who have to have the latest and the greatest but can't afford it? I've accumulated almost $3 trillion in debt thanks to products like this. Guns, planes, toilet seats, etc...the list goes on. The manufacturers all tell me this new one is better then what I have, so I *have* to get them. Please stop forcing my hand.
How about this...lets say Company X has developed 10 new innovations for their camera line which is currently 6 months old. To edge out Company Y, they only need to utilize 6 of those innovations. With such short product cycles, they are likely to pockets whatever they can and save it for the next round. Much like a game of spades...you're not going to trump a 3 of hearts with an ace of spades if the 3 of spades will do the same job. With longer product cycles, they would be likely to release everything they can possibly come up with, along with trying even harder to innovate since they'll need that product to stay "lively" for a much longer period.
I liken this to removing cars from the road and forcing people to take trains because they're safer.
There's a reason there are so many types of media...because people have a need to quickly get data between locations. Let's address the two issues one at a time:
Data theft: If you don't trust the people you hire to be loyal to your company, then either:
a. You shouldn't hire these people
b. You are already aware of the fact that you mistreat your employees and worry about them taking recourse.
Virus/Malware: With a little education and proper software protection, I think and admin will agree that the malware/virus issue can be negated as well.
I can reach over to the passenger side and roll the window down, but I'd much rather click a little button next to me that does it automatically. Doesn't mean I don't still know how to roll down a window.
I wonder if this will have a positive impact on mass-mailing virii that rely so heavily on spoofed "From" fields, or if this will just further slow down our mail servers as it filters through it. I guess it's a matter of which is the lesser of the performance evils: the antivirus engine, or this new fancy schmancy sender verification idea.

Well, they would, but it would likely cost them more to set up the paperwork then they would get in return donations :)
No...I don't have it. But having been a user of every OS that this product will run on, I feel confident in my statement above.
Hey...guess what I've never had to reboot so far...my Tivo. I don't intend for that to change anytime soon either.
"...with measurements of only 30x75x16mm"
Great...I already can't find my keys half the time as it is.

Is there any chance there's enough folks from /. to buy up 51% of BestBuy stock and then remove the PRP's entirely? :)
