That won't matter. Everyone is a fan of Sony, so you'll just buy 10 of them in advance. If you weren't buying more than 3 you were probably a dirty game-copying pirate anyway, and the Vita's DRM will sense the evil in your fingers and use the last of its charge to give your location to Sony's team of Apache pilots and horror-movie schoolgirls.
On the contrary, this now means that Cablevision and friends will be carrying at least several million new channels, and they can up the monthly price! It's a win-win (for the cable guys)!
It does now (Ctrl+J after you start downloading, then check the Location column for each file). It didn't in pre-release versions (I forget which, but I used them).
Not only does DHS want to "copy and paste" a database that has been proven to be inaccurate from another organization and call it "good", but I'm certain that We the Taxpayers will be shown a $100-million dollar budget estimate, for that "little" project that will likely take 5 years to complete, with a final cost of $300 million.
At least they'd have negotiated down from the "$400 billion" drag and drop that ends up costing $2 trillion.
The series will end in 2031 with the Oscar-winning, Capcom-sponsored blockbuster, Super Cowboys and Aliens and Pirates and Ninjas and Monkeys and Robots and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies II Turbo: Hyper Fighting.
It would appear that this is a technical problem that can be explained to the bosses easily: "I'm sorry, but the Internet is full. We need to upgrade to the new Internet if we want to add more stuff. We'll still work with the old Internet, so we won't lose customers, and we're only going to need to replace ___, ___ and maybe ___."
Boss: "The Internet is full!? Didn't we just buy a whole pack of 2Thz hard drives???"
IT guy: "No, we just need to upgrade to IPv6 or we'll lose connections and Google hits. --and it's 2TB, sir, two teraby--"
Boss: "Look, we'll empty out our Internet modems, and you go someplace else where you can make them VIP6 or V8 Splash or whatevertheycallit so you can fill'em with porno like you always do. You're fired."
Sorry, I don't see anything hacked or otherwise off (except for the crazy patent-trolling) about the page, top or bottom. The linked images also appear un-hacked.
I really hope the ultra-cluttered "Figure 2" is not of the actual program(s) they want their customers to use, though. A screenshot that ugly doesn't need hacking.
That doesn't mean much. Cable companies are vile monopolies, except when they are a couple of "competitors" in the same region competing to offer the highest price with such wildly different channel lineups and services that we can make no meaningful comparison.
Surely we can do better than to just seek a price lower than cable.

AMD is a very open company. It's just that its AMD division can be quite secretive sometimes.
(OK, actually looking at the patent's pic now, it's not so inevitable. Less massive-looking, for one. But still. :) )
Between that and the inevitable Power Glove comparisons, you could say that...it's so bad.
Ah, that line from the classic blockbuster Star Wars: Attack of Charles Martinet gets me every time.
Magic.
Well, that sudden hardware-business exit does scream "fly-by-night"...
Agreed. Headline should be "Facebook: Still Facebook", but that wouldn't bring Slashdot revenues, because that's not news.
Cut the head of the snake, the bully of the classroom, the hole of the ass, and Facebook might even start a slow drift towards good. I sooner expect more Zuckerbergs to serve there, though.
I'm in a starship. *whistle*

They already do, but probably not as harshly as you'd want, via the "Disclaimers" link on most pages. As an added bonus, it's the rationale for not putting those spoiler warnings in pages anymore.

Guaranteed to cool your tongue and cut it cleanly in half.
It sounds nice, sure, but wait until Big Business begins the consumerization of that word.
You'll beg for eyegougeification very soon.

How else do you want Microsoft to support future printable YouTube videos that play right on the paper when you touch them with a pen?
The original post was measured, but then you all went on a tangent. On a scalene of 1 to 10 I rate this thread just over 3.14.

Why not both?

That, or Opera's execs want to join hands and start a version-inflation train, a version-inflation train...
(Yes, I know those make terrible lyrics; they go well with the terrible trendy strategy.)
Because Kagan isn't the one with a porn parody character. Or so I...think...and...hope...
