You've got to admit it's a pretty easy slip of the tongue to say "Hairy Hard-on" instead of "Hardy Heron". IN the long run, if Ubuntu is looking for better corporate penetration, perhaps they should look for better release names in the future. Perhaps a poll of the users would yield some suggestions.

There's a site called SeenOnSlash.com that tends to have a good selection of the best comments, including this one. They have an RSS feed as well, which is nice.
I think it's a great deal, considering that as as daily XBL gold user, I haven't really noticed any problems other than slow response times connecting, and an error signing into messenger. As of today, things seem much snappier in the menus though. Joining online games has been problem free (Halo3, COD4, GRAW2). I'll take the game anyway, of course.
For cooling an AV cabinet, I find using a 120mm computer fan (manually switchable, ideally) and an old wall-wart in the 6-12 volt range works quite nicely if you don't mind cutting a round hole in the back of your cabinet. Run it at a low speed and it's almost silent.
... while Sony's and Universal's DRM-free lineups contain "anonymous" watermarks that won't trace to an individual
So we trust Sony now, do we? Why does that not seem like a good idea? Not that Universal is likely to be more trustworthy, but they're more of an unknown than Sony.
I have the older 604 Wifi, and like it as well. I still can`t understand why they don`t open it up. In the case of the 604, you can only buy about 30$ worth of software for the thing anyway. Charge the extra money and open the damn thing up. The open source community can probably improve on what you`ve done anyway. Make your money on the hardware and let people use the device the way they want.
Again in Orange Box, listening to "Still Alive" at the end of Portal was one of my favourite game related moments. Great humour in the game, and the song wrapped it up very nicely.
It's a pretty impressive thing to see, although I'm not sure I'd watch it on TSN. Now, play through 'Through the Fire and Flames' on expert using a DDR mat... that I'd watch.
TVersity (for windows boxes) is quite nice too. I've tried a couple under Ubuntu and Suse, and all are better than the crippled Windows Media Connect software and Media Player 11. Tversity is the best I've seen though, wish they had a Linux version.
I may be mistaken, but I think the external storage can only be used for media. The games are wrapped in DRM, I think. As usual, I may be completely wrong.
that they're still adding backwards compatibility 2 years after release. The real need for it diminishes as time passes, I would think. Personally, I'm waiting for some better video codec support so I don't need to transcode streamed video.
It all sounds like a very workable idea until you have to move from pretty much any other operating system to z/OS. The fact that JCL is still used anywhere astounds me. Once you're actually in a linux partition things are OK, but the rest of the environment is in need of serious usability improvements. There also seems to be a tendency to develop huge amounts of restrictive process around mainframes (a la 'The Difference Engine' almost)...

I believe there's still quite a lot of 60GB boxes out there in stores, and if things continue the way they have, there may still be at Christmas as well. They have all been shipped to stores as of last week though, apparently.

He should probably avoid Q if he wants to push up his success rate.

Of course, the vast majority of them are lawyers.
I think there's been a fairly significant number of exceptions.

It's also an accounting trick to make the accounting weasels happy. It moves processing costs from capital to operational budgets.
I'm not necessarily against watermarking, but:

I don't know about you, but I think the writer sounds a little bitter. Someone should buy him a Kindle to cheer him up.

There will however, be lots of real lawyers there. I understand the logo for the summit features a penguin shaking hands with a weasel.
Aren't they supposed to be all about forgiveness? Or does that go out the window when there's money involved?
