Microsoft only needed 2 generations to make a Zune MP3 player that is better and has more features than a 7th generation iPod.
I thought of marking you insightful. But then I figured responding would be better.
He's got a point - a Zune is more featured (wireless sharing, bigger screen, built-in FM radio) than the 7th gen iPod, and is cheaper (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855604016 vs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855101072).
Disclaimer: I have an iPod, and like it (though don't like Apple products, for the most part). Am no Microsoft shill, let alone fanboi.
If my neighbor were a murdering psychopath, I'd be arrested for knowing about it and not saying anything.
You assumed that you would know it if your neighbor is a murdering psychopath.
Why is it that the police are allowed to film you while you get the shit beat out of you for filming?
Maybe I just haven't been watching that many of the police abuse films, but I haven't seen this happen. For example, the recent film of the biker getting tossed by the NYPD cop had no hint of the person filming getting beat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXzRczBk06M
It sorts mostly by recent history and frequency, from what I can tell. If I haven't been to a certain site in a week or so, it takes longer for it to find it.
The wealth of the incoming class will hardly raise eyebrows in the Senate, where about half of the current 100 members are also millionaires and the average net worth is $8.9 million...
Emphasis added so that the grammar is a little more obvious.
Access to the internet is as much a privilege as driving on public streets.
The only difference is that most people seem to take it for granted that the government ought to pay for the upkeep and construction of roads, whereas there's debate about the government paying to maintain and lay the wires for the internet.
I definitely thought the same thing of motion sensitive stuff (I had a gyroscopic racing wheel for the N64, awful piece of crap) some time back. Then Nintendo brought in the Wii, and I've since changed my mind.
I've made many a greasy anime nerd scoff in disbelief before, so perhaps, for public health concerns, as well as the general welfare, its best that I don't.

if the person's into exact change or is poor and can't find enough bills
Precisely. I think the biggest thing is if they dig around for their money. But if the person has the money out, ready to go... It's a lot faster than card, any kind, almost anywhere.
The exception is at grocery stores (or anywhere that something similar could happen), where you can be swiping your card as the cashier is ringing up your items.
What type of complexity are you talking about? The story in Mass Effect is pretty complex, at least more so than the older games I've played. Same with Bioshock. Blizzard also makes pretty complex stories; it's one of the best parts about their games (but the games they make also have a lot of replay value, outside of the story).
In terms of game control, you have a lot more hotkeys than before, too. Take Rogue Squadron (as was mentioned above). The complexity was basically a first person shooter, if I remember correctly, except not even as complex, because you could play it perfectly fine with a joystick (basically, up-down-left-right, and 3 or four buttons to shoot and do other things).
So again, where's the complexity you were talking about? Are you thinking the old, old days where everything was text based?

Which would explain why AMD only got a 10% boost and GenuineIntel a 47%?
Reminds me of the Simpsons movie, where they build an "idiot-proof" wall...

So why don't we have an internet tax similar to the gas tax? The ISPs charge us a certain amount, and the government takes money from there?

I remember hearing that Maxim has included fully computer-generated women before, and nobody noticed.

I know! Let's go throw so freaking tea in the ocean. We'll show them!
And you think it's decreased since then?

Furthermore, your quote of the quote:

Burn it anyway!
Then give out the copies to your friends. If you don't like them.
Yay! We can attribute it all to the 'Awesome Bar'!
some gin
Lots and lots of gin, really. In fact, why not just replace all the water with gin?
Personally, though, I'd prefer vodka.
They told me I could keep my cash =\

Yes.
Were you expecting anything else on Slashdot?
