True- Macrovision was a problem. However I'm sure that somewhere someone will make a TV that allows you to pass output after the stream was decrypted. They did it with the DVD...
You know, you kind of have to be proud of them in that respect, considering how much money we're wasting on everything else. It's good to see that we're getting marginally more bang for our buck in the NSA.
ubuntu - install,restart,use gentoo - boot into shell, type fdisk/dev/hda or/dev/sda (you have to figure out whether you're using SCSI emulation or not, or if you're using a SATA hard drive. be sure to check your hardware beforehand), manage to download and unpack your stage tarball, etc...
I'm personally a fan of ubuntu and gentoo myself, I just don't enjoy installing gentoo anymore. Using gentoo, otoh, is quite nice (except their recent breaking of the xorg package. eww!)
I can smell your double decaf vanilla latte through your thick-rimmed hipster glasses, you might want to wave your plaid shirt before the aroma gets in your bleached spikes and you become so overcome with grief that you spill it on your Diesel jeans.
A macintosh is a computer built with software preinstalled on it- given, that software is a bit more bulletproof than what you're used to (M$W), but it's still published by a trigger-happy patent-hoarding company that has just as much a bottom line as everyone else. real mac user: ignorant of the double-standard they set.
The prediction is extremely shortsighted of the post-E3 consumer perceptions: xbox 360 - early release, disappointing hardware malfunctions, release lineup consisting of Halo 2 and... uh... Halo 2, expensive, basically xbox on crack ps3 - great console, disappointing launch software, far to damn expensive to be worth buying wii - the most affordable of the three, fully backwards-compatible, two kick-ass release games (SSBB, ZTP), strange controller, online gameplay
I'm sticking with the wii, personally. I'm down with the SSBB and ZTP.
The problem is this is a bad study. Just plain bad. I don't doubt that talking on your cellphone could lead to an equivalent intoxication level as far as operating a motor vehicle, but 40 random participants and a one-shot scenario is a TERRIBLE study. Someone needs to enforce this sort of thing; preventing the results of bogus studies from getting out. Just because you get 40 people together and 5 of them trip doesn't mean that the average clumsiness in the united states is 12.50%. If this study was done well, I might buy it, but for now I do not acknowledge a link. This article is bogus.
I completely agree that a liberatarian stance is probably what's best for our freedom.
On the other hand, one must realize that the United States as a nation does *not* have an unbreakable economy, and as much as it *isn't* the US government's job to give breaks to big business through IP, and subsidies to corn farmers, and allow for mass abuse of the consumer at large, if it keeps up consumer confidence and keeps the money domestic, so be it. Personally, I think that we'd have a much better time keeping the dollar strong if we stopped outsourcing or put domestic workforce quotas on companies, but eh.
IEEE uber alles? I hate the idea that engineering sciences remain such a high-wizardry subject, and that "Engineers" are people who went to school for engineering, not people who majored in something different but took the time to learn about the subject on their own; You don't need an MBA to be an executive, you don't need a CS degree to be a programmer, and you certainly shouldn't need an EE degree to be an electrical engineer. It's certainly difficult at this day and age to find the knowledge necessary to learn most of the higher EE sciences out of public domain materials (I learned more during my first semester of EE than I did from working with biomorphic robotics with a friend of mine), and I think that's something we should change if we want to stimulate the growth of the Open Source community further.

In Texas you can buy a handgun at 18. All that's required is that you fill out a FBI form.

Whatever happened to the "I bought the DVD, I should do what the fuck I want with it"?

You could just hook up your DVD player to a VHS recorder. Ever think of that?

Doesn't belong in "games" either.
