That's because they aren't right. There's no right way to version numbers. Every project does it the way they like and it's no more right or wrong than any other way. KDE and Gnome have always used this way. The Linux kernel uses a different way, even changing it regularly. Ubuntu has a totally different numbering scheme and so on.
I don't know why you got modded informative but what you said isn't true. In versions 1.x OOo used to use their own widgets with their toolkit called VCL. Starting from 2.x they implemented different plugins for VCL that allowed them to use the native widgets of the platform they run on. There were plugins to support Gnome, KDE and Windows native widgets. The Mac version only recently got native widgets support.
Sony is a Japanese company. Sony Pictures though, which is what we are talking about here, is American and has its HQ in California. It was called Columbia until the 90's when it was bought by Sony. Just like BMG (you know the rootkit fiasco) was renamed Sony Music.
CGA was only able to display 4 colors (from a palette of 16) in graphics mode. Usually white, black, cyan and magenta, though sometimes programs used the alternate palette which had brown and some other color I don't remember (red or green maybe).
There's no power in the netbook realm for AMD to regain as it never had any to begin with. The netbook market is 95% Intel and the rest is mainly VIA and a smattering of MIPS and ARM nobody seems to care about.
Just like there were no games for the previous handhelds from Gamepark (GP32 and GP2X) and people still bought them.
They are used mainly for homebrew and as emulators of older systems.
I haven't played any Chrono games but what you describe is exactly how FF is played since FF 4. It's turn-based but you don't have infinite amount of time to think. The enemies will attack at regular intervals whether you do something or not.
Maybe but the point is that they're making money from the game and it's played by a lot of people, whereas the original poster implied that it failed. A failed game doesn't get 4 expansions and two more coming.
Some of the netbooks already give you close to 8 hours of battery life. My Samsung NC10 can go up to 7 hours if I dim the screen all the way down (and it's still very readable). I know some of the Eee's also have very good battery life.

Why should we respect the dead? They're dead, they don't care if we respect them or not.
Your generalization doesn't prove anything either as it's only your opinion. Whether a game is good or not is subjective.
Short answer: no. If you want performance you'll have to use proprietary drivers.
It's actually called GeForce GTX 260.
PSP2? Wow I knew piracy is prevalent around those parts of the world but I wasn't aware they also got new hardware before the rest of us.

Good luck finding Vista drivers for them!
Some might see that as a feature.

He is CEO of Sony Pictures, not Sony. The actual CEO of Sony looks like he has a brain and knows how to use it, judging from this recent interview: http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/HONSHI/20090427/169423/?P=2

The PSP has one analog stick and the upcoming Pandora (if it ever gets released) is supposed to have two of them.
I don't see how that is easier than just developing it anonymously.

Sony doesn't care about PCs. They're doing this to gain an advantage over the other consoles.
The game will be released on PS3 (and PS2) in Europe so there's no problem there. Besides, PS3 games aren't region locked.
I hope you said those same things all the times that Microsoft bought exclusivity either for games or DLC.
It's actually a good thing they didn't release it on PC. That was the most crappy CoD game ever.
It's not a valid defense, but the article is implying that Sony started this, which isn't true.
And who are you to decide what a netbook is for? I do all of those things you listed (except Photoshop) on my netbook and have no problems with it.
