If the vote was over whether or not rapists should get funding so that they could quit their jobs and concentrate more effectively on their hobby, would you consider yourself unrepresented if someone didn't back the measure?
You never know, because most of the republicans in power are perverts themselves.
It currently only works with the Japanese 1.0 PSP and doesn't have sound support
Are you sure this isn't just Linux for the PSP? It sounds an awful lot like whene Linux first gets ported to new hardware...
"Well, we got Linux on the it. Yeah. Well, the soundcard doesn't work. It only installs on a few models... from Japan. Xorg loads but only at about 253 colors. It's missing the left column's worth of 32 pixels. Only runs Emacs, pine, lynx and vi. What do you think?"
they won't need to try to reverse engineer Linux anymore, and this Lab can switch over to start looking into MacOS
Since when... 1) Do you have to reverse-engineer something that is already open-source? and 2) Since when has Microsoft not been "studying" the new featurews of each new Apple/MacOS product release?
I guess I agree with most of it. The iPod Shuffle does look especially nice. I would also add the iPod Photo (and the current gen iPod regular, with the completely smooth, curved edges) to the Best looking list.
I think the Mac mini isn't ugly at all though. I think it looks sorta like a game console... small, silver, and only as wide as the disk drive.
I don't see how the 12" iBooks and Powerbooks look any "better" than the 14" ones. Technically the 14" ones "look better" since bigger screens means better visuals, which isn't an opinion but a fact.
Also don't forget to add the current Apple Pro Keyboard to the FUGLY list. WTF were they thinking, honestly?
The problem with these people, and most of these "lesser-educated" Bible-thumpers from the south and mid-west, is they don't realize that:
Religion != Chrisitianity
These people want the nation, no, the world to view Christianity as the one true faith, the one true way it happened. They do not realize that Christianity is no more valid or proven than Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buhdism, Voodoo, Greek Mythlogy, Native American/First Nation spirits, and aboriginal/tribal worship.
They want Christianity to be recognized as the only true religion, and all other religions are just cults or "less advanced peoples" worship.
Most of these Christians do not even know the history of their own faith, including the fact that Jesus was the son of a wealthy family, married Mary Magdeline (who was also wealthy, and not a whore) and was not the son of God. The "son of God" part was made up by emperor Constantine who had a vote on how divine Jesus should be in the faith they were creating, by combining old Christianity and the pagan beliefs of Europe. It was in fact ripped off from the story of the goddess Isis and her son. Which is why Jesus's birth was slapped on December 25th, the birthdate of Isis's son, which also marks the Winter Solstice and holiday Yule (changed to Christmas), even though most theologists place Jesus's actual birthday sometime in August.
If we have to start including the Christian God in all science textbooks as possible explanations, then why don't we start mentioning Zeus, Allah, Odin, and Big Turtle Island? They're all just as valid as the Chrisitans' nameless God.
People these days look back on histroy, at the crusades and wonder how so many millions of people could be killed in the name of God. They do not realize that these crusades are still going on. America did not progress very far from the puritanical pilgrims who founded the country. Thank God (or whoever's out there) for the immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Africa, Asia and the rest of the world, or else this country would just be full of WASPs and even worse off than it seems now.
Laugh all you like - these people are in control of a major nuclear arsenal.
Just because the USA has military dominance doesn't mean that it's correct in everything it does, especially by imposing stupid puritanical beliefs on everyone.
Anyone remember that Twilight Zone episode with the little kid who had god-like powers, but because he was indeed a child he had no real control over him or the powers and forced, through fear, the others in his town to believe everything he thought was good to be good?
Silly red states and their never-ending crusade to eradicate science in the name of a God, in a country where "seperation of church and state" and "freedom of religion" sorta make forcing your Christian beliefs on others illegal. That doesn't stop them from trying though.

Interesting how the same people counting down the days to Apple's funeral are counting down the days to Nintendo's funeral. Face it everyone, neither Apple nor Nintendo are dying anytime soon.
Don't forget, both companies are next-door neighbors in Redmond, Washington. Just a little fuel for the conspiracy fire (which I brought up in another thread)>
BTW I realize only Nintendo OF AMERICA is located in Redmond. Sheesh.
You do realize that Nintendo is a richer company than Microsoft, right? Just because Bill Gates is the single richest man in the world doesn't mean Microsoft is the single richest company in the world.
"Yes, as I recall, in the very first Legend of Zelda, in the very opening title screen, we used to use the classical music of [Ravel's] 'Bolero,' because that tempo was perfectly matched with the speed of the opening screen rolling. But I remember it was just before, when we really had to complete the final ROM for reproduction, they told me that unfortunately the copyright of that music hadn't expired yet, so I had to compose a completely new piece of music tthat night. I recall that I did it within one day. You know, 'da-da-da-da' -- that was done in just one day." -- Koji Kondo
I wonder if Kondo ever imagined, back then, that more Americans and Japanese these days would recognize his Zelda title screen song over Bolero...
With Bandai being *in* with Nintendo, maybe they will finally force Namco to release some of their games multi-console. Soul Calibur 3 being a PS2-exclusive is very disappointing, as that slow system is not built for fighting games. Maybe Nintendo will finally buy Bandai (and Namco along with it) and Soul Calibur 4 will be Revolution-exclusive. Mwa-ha!

That's why they're called "neo-cons". You now know the difference.
3) Of course, states aren't required to comply, but then a state's citizens will be unable to make use of most interstate transportation (flying).
Wait... flying cars? Finally?!
Having a Democracy doesn't mean that people have to always take the opposite side just to be opposing.
I suppose you've never heard of the Green Party?
Denial from Sony fanboys is a hilarious thing.

For an OS with no useful taskbar or virtual workspaces, sure...

At least it's not as ugly as the PlayStation2. God, I have to insert discs into that console with a mirror, it's so ugly.

As for Microsoft buying Nintendo... who knows.

You forgot the "I, for one, welcome our ... overlords" joke, which a lot of people seem to have forgotten came from the Simpsons.
Though since CentOS and RHEL are 99.9999~% identical, that command-line option at Oracle's install should pretty much have no negative consequences.

Actually this is what the company will be called after all of the mergings are finalized:
Nintendo
