The PS3 in the long run will probably turn out to be OK. You learn from your errors and move on. Why does every decision have to be Draconian these days?
Besides, the promised us the nano-dust based PS9 in that commercial.
What we need is a cognitive approach with search material retreated and presented in some context relative to our current end-objectives at the time.
What the hell am I supposed to do with that statement? If this is the mindset that will produce the next generation of "thinking machines" then sign me up for the Butlerian Jihad.
Once again a universal answer is sought for, this time on the idea of choice. Sort of ironic. Or not.
One place where choice has become Real Stoopid is with watch-type batteries. Why are there, like, 9000 types of watch battery? Some of them you need to take out a pair of calipers to measure a difference. Can't they standardize like their bigger cousins (AAA, AA, C, D)?
And car headlight bulbs. I bought a 2005 Mustang last year, and went out to get a couple bulbs to have on hand. The specific bulb for the car was not in the auto parts stores yet. When it did come out, it was visually indistinguishable from many of the older bulb models, but different enough that the older one would not fit in the socket. WTF is that? Is that extra 2 mm of plastic performing some critical function? Meanwhile I can screw a 2006 compact fluorescent bulb into a lamp from 1960.
The need for less choice/more standardization is dependent on the individual situation.
And example of too little choice? Political candidates. It's either candidate from the Big Two Idiot Parties or one from a smattering of folks from little Parties even further from the realm of rational thought.
Example of just right: cars. There's something for everyone.
Bullshit. The Democrats got us into a pointless boondoggle space race that collapsed under its own weight. if we had done thingsa in a properly paced manner, Martin Landau really could have been working on the moon in 1999.
And it was the hard work of thousands of dedicated technical people that took us into space, not some cocksucking politicians.
I really wish all Party loyalists would just die already.
I'm sick of gamers like me being accused of living in a fantasy world. This is the last straw! I'm sending out my long distance Firaga and Doom spells at the next person to make the accusation! I have powers, damn, you. POWERS!
...and not worth the effort. 720p this. 1080i that. LCD. Plasma. DLP. Which one looks better. Which one has video lag. Is there still burn in. Who wants to deal with that to buy a fricken' TV set? I'm a technophile, and I can't be bothered with it unless my old, venerable 36" Wega CRT dies tomorrow. I hear people who say things like "standard DVD isn't good enough for MEEEE!" and I ain't gettin' it. It's your own fault if you've trained yourself to see the tiniest video artifacts. You've become the typo Nazis of the video world. Ah, who cares...
...you jack out of the system, and your limb is gone again. Sounds kind of depressing. I think I'd rather just take an Advil. I mean, the *pain* is real so a pain killer should do something.
Because everyone is hypnotized by the idea of "not throwing away their vote" so they vote for a candidate they don't like in one of the two big parties.
So, somehow, voting for someone you don't like is not throwing away your vote.
Sorry, but I don't consider any organized religion to be an authoritative source on anything but their own dogma.
Seriously, at this point I wish every single religious person would jump into an active volcano. With the Christians trying to run the US and the Muslims trying to blow it up, it's all getting really fucking old.
If I were in charge, there's be frigging embryo cloning ranches and abortions would be avalable at sidewalk kiosks.
...that defines "too much damn hassle and expense to listen to a couple songs while out and about?"
Honestly, this stand on one leg, confirm your DRM identity, rub stomach, pat head, open wallet wider and face Mecca in order to listen to a fricken' song is getting stoopid.
Note: "stoopid" is an order of magnitude worse that "stupid."
Were you, like, all outraged and appalled? You can't have good politics without outrage and appalledness. Oh, and you gotta be all offended and stuff.
If only we can get all the political people *physically* into one place.
Why?
So we can drop an ebola bomb on them, silly rabbit!
Look for it to happen as more of the younger generation matures to the point of being serious candidates for office.
Oh, I can't wait! Politicians who were raised on the Internet *AND* television! More nuclear jackasses who want to lead me to the promised land, and tell me what to do with my money and who I can stick my dick in. Yippee!
When's that lunar colony supposed to be open for settlement?
I've worked in the defense industry. Yes, the idea is idiocy. That's why all software actually used in military systems is written by citizens with security clearences. I have no idea what this article is talking about, or their supposed Pentagon sources.
I once couldn't bring a prototype device into a classified area until we replaced a software driver made in England. And trying to use IP cores for FPGAs from overseas? One giant headache.
And I advise against using a blurb in BusinessWeek as "proof" of anything. No serious investor I know would soil their hands on that rag.

Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?
I know this is SLASHdot, but that is just flagrant slash abuse.
I going to have to cite you.

Parents were all in a huff about a cell phone tower near a school. Meanwhile, some of the parents in the press conference were smoking.
Seriously, it's time to start culling the human herd. Civilization cannot go on much longer weighed down by the Marching Morons.

Oh. Well. That's OK then. (glazed happy stare)
Wait. Why is my tail all bushy? Spidey sense tingling.

Wait. I was planning on owning both the PS3 and Wii, so does that make me bi?
I also have an Xbox 360. Does that push me into the "manly" column?
Heh heh heh... I said manly column...

Blue is cool. Also, hard to do. Between the two, you get expensive.
Wait... expensive doesn't rhyme with the "oo" sound. What sort of open-mike poetry is this?
Really tired of being preached at by rich guys, be they politicians or moguls. Blow me, Geffen.

I can finally watch TV shows on my TV! Thank you, Microsoft!

Typo Nazis are stoooooooooopid. :-P Count the orders of magnitude there, Sparky.

$15 a month? And people complain about Tivo fees.

Uh oh. Meme alert.
I have used YouTube for political statements.
