Wireless sucks. The only way to have anything approaching at all a secure system is to have a wire going from your computer to the router. Everything else is snake oil. I don't have even ten gigabytes of music and I doubt that those who do even listen to it all. I also don't care about size as long as it fits in my pocket; I'd prefer a single TI-89-sized device to a whole bunch of iPod-nano-sized devices which seems to be becoming the norm. It is possible to make a system that acts as a cellphone, a camera, a full graphing calculator, and a music player, but unfortunately the backwards nature and fashion requirements(everything has to be too small, I want a higher resolution!) are holding the industry 10 years behind where they could be.
They can't screw up Doctor Who, thank Oma Desala. BBC owns it and runs it first. All Sur..."Sci-Fi" does is air it, although it could air it out of order Firefly-style.
You do realize that neither Nintendo nor Sony has ever made as horrible a loss as Microsoft has? And that Microsoft hasn't made up said loss but Sony and Nintendo always do?
I thought it was a knee-jerk because of all the people who came onto Slashdot for the sole purpose of fluffing up Digg and insulting Slashdot with comments like "I SAW THIS ON DIGG THREE DAYS AGO!" and crap like that. At least, that's why I hate Digg now. If a Slashdot troll is the type of person who's on Digg normally, I don't think I want to be on Digg.
It's a minus to you, but a plus to the average user. Me, I'm neutral on the whole thing since I realized that iTunes is actually pretty good even without the iPod in the equation.

Your statement is so ridiculously Web 1.0 that it's not even funny. My Web 2.0 blogosphere will mashup your vertically-aligned prosumer strategy!

You do realize that the only thing Overly Critical Guy ever does at any time whatsoever is troll, right?
People like you are the number one problem with Penny Arcade. Penny Arcade is only funny when they avoid the 'wang' jokes.
Atlantis is in the Pegasus Galaxy.
Wasn't the Orion destroyed by the Wraith?
No, statically-linked apps aren't nice when one of the things statically linked has a security hole.

You're kidding me, right? You may be right about Perelman but Linus has been political from day one.
Now say it in Latin.
I'd do it if I could ever find a DRM-remover that actually works.(The iTunes cards were gifts)
There was never a defintion of planet. The IAU finally created one. Pluto's not a planet. God, I hate Pluto fanboys.
I see the "Thompson should be a doctor" crowd is out in full force today...
Actually, it was caused by the first actual definition of planet.

It's not even changing a title. It's formally defining a title. Pluto was never a planet in the first place.
And that's a bad thing? Seriously.
Um, what code has ESR written in the last 5 years? At least Perens made Technocrat, what has ESR done period other than stupid libertarian ranting?
Actually, that's what people were afraid that Gutenberg would do.
then everyone's health is at risk.
Nice try, but remember that the GPL has no restrictions whatsoever on usage of the code. Only if you modify it.
