Yes, you web developers. You need to explicitly stop supporting IE6. Give IE6 users a strong warning that IE6 is completely unsupported and not recommended for use, much like Game! has since about 2005.
The article states that attendance at this university is a necessary requirement to graduate
So? It's still a dumb requirement for graduation. Unless it's different over there, University is optional, paid for entirely by the attendee, and generally not started until one's about 18. There's absolutely no reason to make attendance part of the requirements for graduation, if you choose not to attend, that's completely up to you.
I visited a Q9 datacenter about 2 months ago, and probably half of the floor space didn't even have racks put up yet. I'm not going to say that's representative of all datacenters around here, but I certainly hear plenty of colo facility commercials on the radio.
It's in a similar vein, but another thing I find really annoying is when games draw their own cursor instead of using a hardware accelerated cursor. It instantly makes me not want to play the game ever, as the mouse is incredibly choppy in comparison, no matter how fast your system is.
For example, yesterday I had a hankering to play Heroes of Might and Magic 3, which is a game that was released in 1999 and required a Pentium 133 to run. While it's still as fun as it always was, the cursor is still choppy, even on a modern system. I'm pretty sure the entire game runs at a fixed 30 FPS or so, including the mouse. In this case, it's not as annoying, because it's entirely turn based, but it'd be a much better game with a proper mouse cursor.
New games are still making this mistake and it baffles me how it doesn't infuriate the developers enough to fix it.
I certainly design with (input) snappiness in mind, if you have a peek at Game! you'll notice that everything is very fast. Pages are small and load fast, AJAX is sprinkled about heavily to improve response time (though only where it makes sense), etc. It's not difficult to do really, you just have to keep it in mind.
on a side note the traction control on it reacts by not limiting but rather removing all power to the tires..
Well, then your car's implementation of traction control sucks. The traction control on my car limits the power to the wheels such that you remain just below the threshold where the wheels would slip. It works so well that you can, for example, floor it through a turn and not have wheel slip, even in inclement conditions (provided that conditions do not change significantly, such as hitting a patch of ice or quickly turning the wheel significantly more). It can also be disabled completely with the press of a button.
Maybe you picked the wrong University then. When I went, not a single one of my textbooks was more than $125. Still not cheap by any means, but not as bad when you consider that the average was about $60.

You mean like Game!? I don't really see many Mac users, substantially more Linux users actually.
...and not CPU bound!
Security theater is worse than no security at all.
I think you actually need a s/Acer/Asus/g; in there, read what you quoted.
Yeah, like all that pesky progress in the last decade.
It also doesn't render correctly in Konqueror 3.5 (AJAX everything in comments broken now) or 4.2 (front page autorefresh doesn't work).

There was definitely no shortage of cooling, it was quite pleasant in there (~10 C).

The article says it does not use SecureROM for DRM, not that it doesn't use DRM. Anyone know what it does use for DRM?

Ew, HDMI? DVI or bust.
100 million Thai baht = 2.9121 million U.S. dollars, annualized == $1.058 billion (granted that's a peak period, so it's probably half that)
Google's done this for ages.
Obviously not secure enough.
Yes. We also need to get rid of the braindead speed limits (that is, most of them).

Well neither have I, but I don't use Windows.
Did you really mean 3 or 4 tons rather than three quarters of a ton?
Because Windows sucks, I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a rusty spoon than use Windows.
Why would one who has windows license use linux?
They're not masochistic?
Thats right, me. In fact I just set up #50,001. You'll never guess what I'm doing with them either.
Do you really need that much porn?

Flash memory has a limited number of writes.
The universe has a limited number of atoms.
You just described IE.
But you lost me here.
