I use Ableton Live and Sony ACID on my home machine with NOD32 as my AV and have had absolutely zero problems. It varies greatly with your setup and what you're doing. That, and NOD32 is made for that sort of thing (gaming, high demand software, etc).
For what it's worth, you can get a damn nice truck if you have enough money. While mine would be somewhere in the realm of a 600hp Lightning with a leather interior, you can probably do quite a lot with a Mark LT or Escalade (perhaps rolling on dubs, also consider being iced out like hockey). Just sayin'.
This all depends on how soon you'll buy my plane ticket, five-star accommodations, meals (including alcohol), dance clubs, cocaine, hookers, in-town transportation...
I imagine part of the idea is to take the anti-consumer stance and spit in its face, saying that consumers won't stand for it. If it's broke fix it. If it ain't broke, break it, then fix it.
Oh, you know us nerds. Optimize some of our code or create a competing product: death threats. Kill us in a game: death threats. Internet argument: death threats.
Hell their are still trolls that tout Vista as a failure even though it has 10 times the market share of OS.X and a 100 times the market share of desktop linux and makes them BILLIONS.
Many homebrew applications can access USB storage devices (MPlayer-Wii, most of the emulators, a few others) and to the best of my knowledge there's not a very restrictive upper limit on external storage on the Wii, if there even is one. But there IS a somewhat restrictive list of supported devices. Of course external storage hasn't been tested on a ridiculously wide scale, but a list IS there, along with a tool for checking compatibility of your device. Regardless, you'll still need a fairly large USB drive since most games are DVD5, and a few are DVD9 (Brawl is just over 7.5GB).
That said, the current backup loaders simply load the DVD in the drive and that's all. I'm sure it's not a restriction, it's just easier to burn DVDs than fool with buying a huge drive to hold game images that may or may not even work on the Wii to begin with. Plus I'm sure that I'm not alone in preferring to have a hard copy around. My ISO backups are in the cloud. (GET IT? lololol)
Well that depends heavily on the car. Not a lot of 12 year old cars will sell for nearly as much as my 96 Ford. But now we're getting off topic, here, and my car kind of has an unfair advantage. Just ignore me.
The only obvious solution is to port Ms-LPL licensed source code to Linux and OS X, then create a new list in the spirit of the Sue Me First list from a while back, then just see how Microsoft responds. As trollish as this post sounds, I really do think it would be an interesting experiment.
Who wants to volunteer to port all the StdAfx.h/.cpp files? Anyone?....Anyone...? No one. =(

Thrall WOULD make a good president, after all.

I don't want to spend eight hours staring at a terminal entering esoteric commands to fix someone else's.
How can you not enjoy this?
They do not make the graphics on your screen "melt" or cause pixelated cartoon charactors to appear and spout lines like "You've been pwnd!".
But I think we can all agree that they totally should.
Quiet, you insensitive clod!
Sounds like you need to switch to Ubuntu.
I'm voting for Kevin Mitnick.
Seriously. I'll take a picture if they let me.

You are. Planes are so old school. The smart money is going into flying cars and personal spacecraft.

I'm kidding, of course.
Here comes the mod down to troll.

Nerds watch football?
Too bad I bricked mine within a month of its release. And I got up at 8AM to pick it up, too. 8AM!!
Wait, Windows isn't free?
It's funny because it's poisonous!

But do you really want to run SQL Server in WINE?

Market share != quality.
I love how this is modded redundant.

So that's what they call it these days.
