Well, most retail store PSPs at this time come with 2.0 firmware, which they have a downgrader for. Even if you get a PSP with the 2.5 firmware they now have a downgrader for that which uses a sound glitch. So, all you really need to do is buy a PSP almost anywhere and run some software on it. The hardest part is getting it to 1.5 firmware, but once you have 1.5 you can very easily run homebrew apps on it. I had 1.5 for a while, but then decided the web browser was more important to me and upgraded. So yes, you do have to choose between a web browser and running homebrew apps.
Yeah, who wants to pay $100 more for a smaller device, with only 1 or 2 good games to offer? Let's totally ignore the fact that the PSP can run emulators and play 1000s of classic games, and even homebrew games. Let's also ignore the fact that with a $50 upgrade for a decent sized memory stick duo, you can load your own movies on and not worry about having to carry around big dvds.
But who on earth would spend $300 on a gadget that plays music, videos, a pretty big array of games, and allows you to browse the internet wirelessly? What kind of weirdo would want to be able to check his email on the go?
Your post reminds me of something: No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
"Once music arrives in your iTunes library, the real fun begins. Burn songs onto an unlimited number of CDs for your personal use, sync music to an unlimited number of iPods and play songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store on up to five Macs or Windows PCs."
According to a post I read earlier in this article it kills CD drives quickly. I don't actually know if this is true, but it would be interesting to find out. Not that I'll ever use anything other than allofmp3.com anymore, but still curiosity pervades me.
Somewhere in Tokyo there was a brand new apartment building put up with state of the art everything. Video screen doorbells, plush elevators, garbage disposals, efficient kitchens, the works.
Holy shit, they have garbage disposals in Japan? THE TECHNOLOGY!
I frequently whip out my tone generator in class and put it at high frequencies very loud. Gets hilarious when half the class is yelling about a noise and the teacher thinks they're crazy.
On another note, would those neat Bose active noise cancelling headphones remedy this problem? I know it's rather easy to build active noise cancelling headphones, and if this happened anywhere in my town I would make pairs of these for everyone just to spite them.
Also, I tend to have worse hearing than most of my peers due to the fact that I play drums rather extensivly. Would this stop me from hearing the sound?
If you actually believe that you will be able to hook up your iPod through USB to the Xbox 360 and listen to music from it, then you are horribly lost.
Xbox/iPod integration? Yeah, and it runs Duke Nukem Forever.
Solution:
Hope claims that while it is illegal for countries to stake a claim on the moon, it is legal for individuals and corporations to, you silly grammar nazi.
Since most people don't know that an COM file is executable they download and run it.
Unlike the idiots usin AIM who've been hit with this.
Yes, since everyone who doesn't know everything about a file extension not really in common use for many years is an idiot. Plus Windows hides extensions by default, which really doesn't help the problem.

Yes. And they took my car away!!

nowadays the point of school is more to keep kids who aren't old enough to work occupied all day more than really learning.
teenagers will have sex whether you like it or not.
As a 17 year old male with a very willing girlfriend, will someone please tell this to my parents?!?!!
yup, from the apple site:

The definition of irony:
1. Slashdot vet complains about overuse of "troll" label, and is modded troll.

the age for R rated movies is 17.

Only on slashdot will you find people actually calculating the amount of force it takes to photocopy ones ass.
haha, it's the shortest book ever written with only one sentence:
1. use internet explorer for more than 10 minutes of regular use.
Wow. I am considerably shocked. Thanks for bringing that to light, you just added something big to the Pros section of my mental Xbox 360 list.
Thanks again!!
Link please.

Napoleon, like anyone could even know that!
Since when did Ballmer get that sexy :-P
Maybe Disney actually learned from their mistakes?
I always wondered - was Steve Jobs really just in the right place at the right time?
Maybe someone who read the article can answer whether or not it goes this in depth. I'm far too tired to read it myself.
They're COM files - the worm has been going around my town for about a week and a half.
It's usually a link with something like "HEY CHECK OUT THIS PICTURE OF ME - LOLZ!! http://shittywebpage.com/funny.com"
Since most people don't know that an COM file is executable they download and run it.

It's the stickers that come with every Apple product.
But does it play Ridge Racer or Lumines?
Some people buy PSP for a gaming system AND a media center thingy.
Ok, just to clarify, when I said "surplus" and "debt" I was referring to the parent of my posts sig, which is a graph linked here.
But thanks, your post was really informative! I didn't know that we were wasting so much money on interest, that thought never really occured to me.
So I guess the nation has bad credit right now then, hehe..
