"That said, I've had no issues with five different webcams functioning properly under Ubuntu, without having to compile anything. I believe this is commonly referred to as "It Just Works(TM)"
Try that under 64-bit Ubuntu. Logitech Quickcam EMessenger, Lifecam VX-1000/3000/6000, none work in 64-bit Ubuntu. I try every day.
You don't get lawyers in small claims court. That gives individual civil suits against the company a better chance of succeeding.
You'd notice that I haven't put in my usual "Let me call my lawyers." I really see no big reason to call the lawyers. This would've been much better if they had just done this individually.
But then again, Sony can ask that it be made a class action suit based on the number of similar suits filed across the country, that would put it back into their advantage.
Of course, you do realize that most consumer cordless phones for homes are starting to run in the 5GHz range, yes?
I've already dealt with a customer with N wireless and tracked the problem straight to his cordless phone. I got him an old 900MHz phone and all issues have ceased.
Last count of felons actually IN prison was about 8 million, the number that are not in prison brings that number potentially up to 15 million, as many never did time, instead receiving probation.
Hundreds of thousands of clinincally insane people.
I wonder how many people are disabled to the point of not being able to bear a weapon? That's probably another easy million. The list goes on and on and on. All it takes is some critical thinking.
Elderly people that can't bear a gun because they're too weak physically? 30 million or so, likely.
I'll bet autistic people probably wouldn't be able to bear a gun.
Nor the people currently laid up in a hospital.
You think 280 million guns is going to be useful when there aren't that many hands to hold them and use them?
I'm undoing my moderation in this thread just for you!
"And there is no way to recover the thing, unless you have a 3.3v serial cable to do the JTAG and they say that's hacker-friendly?"
Real hackers know their hardware before they ever think about the software. It has been this way since the original days of hacking in a model railroad club at MIT.
I have 23 processes. I don't have anything eating up cycles. It has been this way for almost 7 years, now. Every time I reinstall XP it gets this exact same configuration.
If someone gives me the addresses of these lawyers I'll be more than happy to make a bunch of stickers of this logo and plaster it over every square inch of property they own! With the amount of crack theymust be smoking, they probably won't notice it and think it's all part of their landscape.
"i have no problem opening any media file in QuickTime."
I do. In fact, Quicktime itself likes to bog down a dual core 1.83GHz system with 4GB of RAM on a HD video, while Zoom Player will open up anything tossed at it and not lag one bit.

Why should we fuck with you when you fucked yourselves in choice of living area? ;)

But they'll work just fine in 32-bit.

Does SOTC still have insane drops to 6FPS on the PS3?
Valkyria Chronicles is PS3 only. Try spending at least 5 minutes in a GameStop or EBGames before opening your mouth next time, yea?
Nope. Every recent release I've gotten has not checked for a firmware revision. The most recent was Infamous.
The article is bullshit. I have not updated my PS3. All of my games run. Of course, that might be because I don't allow it to connect to the internet.

280 million guns, only about 60 million people legally allowed to use them.
Thank our justice system for that - giving aid to the enemy by disarming the populace one method at a time.
Maybe not quite the #1 defect. The lack of the ability to stab someone in the face over the internet might just be the #1 defect. :)
That's assuming the 802.11g wireless card in your laptop can actually transmit that far.
Of course, some have hacks that allow you to adjust the TX power. Not many, but a couple do.
Nobody I know of has 802.11n. Why? Most of them have no true need for it. 54/108 mbps G is pretty good for all of their applications.

"Your thin CRT would have a hard sell, they would be useless in laptops, be very heavy and offer what exactly as a benefit?"
You barely thump most laptop LCD panels and the damned thing will break.
That extra quarter inch of glass won't break nearly as easily.
I'd prefer durability over lightweight and flimsy any day.
I already won. There's not "close to winning" about it.

Yea, same fucking sector, alright. NOT.

Moron. If I have ATi on my motherboard and I *buy* a PhysX card or PhysX-enabled GPU, I have EVERY RIGHT to the advertised features.
What fucked up world do you come from? Go back, we don't need you here.
Five bucks?
Oh no, I can't say how much but I'm getting far more than that from EA over the Spore debacle.
Or, more precisely, their lawyers are.

Antitrust lawsuit and consumer backlash lawsuit initiated by me in 3...2..1...
I've already called my preferred class-action group and they're salivating over the prospect of several billion dollars from nVidia over this.
"It is your information so why don't you write a sync agent yourself?"
It's your idea so why don't you teach me? Bear in mind I've only dabbled in Assembler and don't have much programming experience otherwise. Thanks!

No need for virtual machines when there was hardware back then that allowed you to switch operating systems with the turn of a knob.
But that company died out a LONG time ago, I think right around 1999. the product worked, albeit rather buggy.
