"You have to install IE, WMP, the firewall, etc. and they can't be removed." Not quite. I'm using windows fundamentals for legacy pcs, On an AMD3500+ does everything windows xp professional does, minus (some of) the bloat.
Now really. trying to be serious here. While don't think an 800 dollars toilet is a necessity, we do need to get rid of the toilet paper thing. At least as the main method of cleaning. If you accidentaly got crap on your hands, would you just uh.. smudge it with some soft paper? Hell no! you would wash your hands. And still we do it all the time on our asses.
That's just no good.
What videogame crash? I can certainly afford an under 300usd Wii. Oh wait, you mean sony? They'll just have a wonderful future building cameras, and slapping rootkits on the wrong places
Everybody knows that if you put "hot coffe" in a computer, people will complain against pixelated consensual sex and put a mature label on your coffe table. And the Jack Thompson will show up on teevee
I don't know why they haven't thought of this before, they probably have a good reason. Since ds games have acess to the gba slot, (as in metroid pinball's rumble pack) Why don't they create a speech pack to enable processing of voice-chat? Seems like a no-brainer to me, and it could be optional. If you want voice-chat you buy the pack, if not you don't. Guessing by the size of mp3 players and voice recorders lately, the gba card has more than enough space to create a hardware like that...
Actually, its the same as saying "Since you bought a game rated for mature people, you have no right to complain about foul language". Have a little sense on your analogies
1- Deprive monkeys of sleep
2- Test monkeys (crappy awareness results)
3- Scare the hell ou of the monkeys with big needle injections
4- Re-test monkeys (high awareness)
5- ?????
6- Profit!
Wow, somebody on slashdot that didn't stopped using windows in 95 and made the move to linux totally, without ever looking back. Kudos to you my friend.
The real threat for it is for the p2p network. not because you will download a different version of the file, but the file is broken in various pieces. Imagine somebody released, dunno, some linux distro, over bittorrent. you will download the real file, and the fake one at the same time, leaving the final file useless, and probably ruining the release.
I could see game and movie companies releasing bogus versions of their pirated apps to break the releases. after all, you cant de-compress corrupt zips, rars and etc. the musics would have cracks and noises because of the bogus versions. P2P as it is now would be ruined
Jesus, I hope I'm wrong... I would have to acctualy buy MS crap.

That's something I would like to see. Charge around 200 - 250 usd, and use the overcharged money to give more laptops to the people that needs them
Ha! As long as they don't demote Uranus.

They have standard usb connectors too. nothing forbids them of using external hard drives :)

I was going to mod you up, but then you wrote "nekkid" English isn't even my first language, but it still sounds nasty

Bonus ponits for using googlemaps to show the location ;)

Yeas, we are!
