Not sure what he meant, but in order to use MAME, or any other custom software not provided via official channels, you need to unlock the console. High piracy on the PSP has brought the platform to its knees. Being realistic, no one forks out GBP120 to play Final Fight.
Apparently the panorama is changing as some models of PSP (3000 and later 2000, I own the 3000) are "unhackable". Well, there's no such a thing as unhackable, but different grades of difficulty to have it done. There's an exploit to run pirated games, but at the moment it ain't mainstream and it requires some game that obviously costs a fortune on ebay now.
I know exactly what you mean. I recently bought a PSP which it ain't seeing many new games lately, but it's got a big back catalog of some excellent games I can get on the sub £8 price tag. There's one exception, I've preordered new "Resistance: Retribution" for next month, but other than that, with the existing back catalog, I'll have at least a couple of years of inexpensive gaming.
Small correction to what you said; if the file being moved is on the same logical and physical volume, it's not copied then erased, just a reference being changed. "Folders" have always been named "directories". Calling them otherwise is fairly recent, since windows 3 time iirc.
I do, however, fail to see your point in how the folder/file metaphor is antiquated, or perhaps inadequate, users seem well happy with it. Technically, of course. But intelectually, it's a metaphor that has worked really well for over 30 years.
I wasn't talking particularly about software, in the same way the comment I was answering to; but I can think of cases in which those bits of software are a necessity. For example, someone unemployed with no cash training on these tools. Their prospect employer will buy them for his workstation afterward anyway.
Aye. It should be the parent's work to see what their children are up to at home. Filter the hell out of the network traffic when they're connected at the school.
Plus they will find a way around all those blocks anyway, I don't see why should you bother.
In many EU countries this also includes mp3 players, cd/dvd/br drives, usb pendrives, any other flash media and mobile phones that can play a/v and in general anything that can store digital or analogue data (cassettes and video tapes for example). Also, photocopiers, printers and scanners. I probably forget a few anyway. Some lobbies are also pushing for taxing user's internet connections as well, for they might be used to *transfer* and *cache* copyrighted media.
That kids learn how to use Microsoft software at school is understandable, as it bulks up as the most used operating system. What worries me about this teacher in particular is her vicious reaction and the extent in which she is totally oblivious to what the reality of software licensing is. The article doesn't seem to clarify what this teacher actually teaches. If it's some sort of computer science it looks to me as she is grossly underqualified.
Not only that, there are lots of people that can read english no problem, and therefore register on english speaking sites, but that can't speak or understand spoken english.
Methinks 1 billion years is slow enough for life to slowly adapt, and habitats to change, to the new conditions; I don't see what devastation could happen because of this (apart from progressive change).

No, The Jar Jar Binks
I think so, but more importantly, it also describes the typical behaviour of most forum inhabitants.

Europe as well. I'm writing this from a 2048/256 cable connection (UK). Only Japan it seems got decent upload speeds.
Oh yes.

What you're saying is that if you can't afford something, it's OK to steal it.
If it's a true necessity, yes.
Manhorse was a success tho. Got it's drawbacks tho. Where's my forage?

Yes it is. The webserver is slashdotted.

Nice one :)
Oh yes, where can I buy that?
Sales. Particularly in laptops.
Like Michael Knight.

8mpx in the case of a new sony ericsson handset, can't remember the model. 5mpx cameras on phones are fairly common these days.
Not that mpx matter anyway on cameraphones, they still use shit optics and sensors.
Chode means all that plus a penis that is wider than it's long
More like "chode"
Dude, you take slashdot way too seriously...
