"Why do you suppose that all of Microsoft's "Open Source" projects (WiX, FlexWiki, etc) are located on sourceforge instead of gotdotnet?"
how the hell is WiX or FlexWiki a Microsoft sponsored initiative? And who the fuck cares what open source system they use. Sourceforge is more popular, maybe thats why they use it. This article is about Bungie.net anyways, not source control systems.
Nintendo isn't going anywhere, they have to much money in the bank. The way things are going, they may be reduced to a pure game manufacturer as opposed to entire platform, but IMO, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
Yeah, I'm sure all the applications written will be 100% safe, polished and complete. No chance of installing trojans, bots, malware etc... Great fucking idea until the most massive DDOS ever hits the country, all coming from comprimised linux/PS3 zombies.
C'mon, seriously guys. Is anyone going to give up their standard PC for a PS3? I doubt it. I can see this being usefull as maybe a jukebox or movie player, other media tasks, but beyond that im just not seeing its usefullness. Im not going to compose emails and other things from my fricking lazyboy. My gaming system is for games and entertainment, my PC is mostly for apps and work. They are in different rooms, i like it that way.
Best Graphics for a cgi movie from a game that doesn't exist. Great reporting guys!
Best Hardware from a console that they didn't even show once (Maybe the demo's were running on a cell but it sure as hell wasn't a PS3 as it doesn't exist yet).
I think spike TV needs to pull their nose out of Sony's ass.
The europeans went from backward thridworld area continually warring with itself to a fairly unified entity in less then 1000 years
Or, on the other hand you could look over at Africa where they are still a 3rd world contenent fighting with itself, and they've prolly been doing it for 20,000+ years.
...Seriously though, this has to be the pinnicle of marketing hype; when you release a press statement saying you're "concerned" you may not have enough units to supply the incredible demand for it.
What will be coming soon? Do you have any supporting information, or is this just your paranoid opinion?

HD-Less PS3?
·
· Score: -1, Flamebait
Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of gaming in this country. The Sony Playstation3 was the console to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-controller console . Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Playstation2 . That's three Controllers and an emotion engine. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened - the bastards went to four Controllers. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three Controllers and and emotion engine. emotion engine or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to Seven Controllers.
James M. Kilts CEO and President, The Sony Company
Sure, we could go to four Controllers next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a thicker aloe strip and call it the Playstation3 SuperTurbo. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!
You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the multi-controller game. Are they they playing with power? Fuck, no. Sony is playing with powert.
What part of this don't you understand? If two Controllers is good, and three Controllers is better, obviously Seven Controllers would make us the best fucking console company that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the console market by clinging to the two-controller industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, Seven Controllers is the biggest chance of all.
Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to invent - I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick two more Controllers in there. I don't care how. Make the Controllers so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth controller in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!
You're taking the "safety" part of "safety console " too literally, grandma. Cut the strings and soar. Let's hit it. Let's roll. This is our chance to make gaming history. Let's dream big. All you have to do is say that Seven Controllers can happen, and it will happen. If you aren't on board, then fuck you. And if you're on the board, then fuck you and your father. Hey, if I'm the only one who'll take risks, I'm sure as hell happy to hog all the glory when the Seven-controller console becomes the gaming tool for the U.S. of "this is how we play now" A.
People said we couldn't go to three. It'll cost a fortune to manufacture, they said. Well, we did it. Now some egghead in a lab is screaming "Seven's crazy?" Well, perhaps he'd be more comfortable in the labs at Nintendo, working on fucking electrics. Rotary Controllers, my white ass!
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we should just ride in Microsoft's wake and make windows. Ha! Not on your fucking life! The day I shadow a penny-ante outfit like Bic is the day I leave the console game for good, and that won't happen until the day I die!
The market? Listen, we make the market. All we have to do is put her out there with a little jingle. It's as easy as, "Hey, gaming with anything less than Seven Controllers is like masturbating with a cheese grater." Or "Our console's so smooth, I could snort lines off of your chin." Try "Your neck is going to be so friggin' soft, someone's gonna walk up and tie a goddamn Cub Scout kerchief under it."
I know what you're thinking now: What'll people say? Mew mew mew. Oh, no, what will people say?! Grow the fuck up. When you're on top, people talk. That's the price you pay for being on top. Which Sony is, always has been, and forever shall be, Amen, Seven Controllers, sweet Jesus in heaven.
Stop. I just had a stroke of genius. Are you ready? Open your mouth, baby birds, cause Mama's about to drop you one sweet,
Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of gaming in this country. The Sony Playstation3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Playstation3Turbo. That's three Controllers and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened - the bastards went to four Controllers. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three Controllers and a strip.

B still knows A and C's IP addresses, sure its obsfucated, but certainly not annonymous. As long as you are using an IP, there is no such thing as annonymity.
Way to stick to your guns dude. You have to be pragmatic in situations like these, and I think you did the right thing. This whole article should be modded -1 flamebait.
90% say if we receive a message from another planet we should reply
Isn't there some theory that states that even if we did get a message from an advanced civilization, by the time we could reply they would have already destroyed themselves. In other words, by the time someone gets our messages, we'll have already nuked ourselves.
Assuming your calculation is correct, that would be right, but you would need to cut that in half as the data isn't going to be routed around the earth to go 100 miles away. So,.95 (worst case) would be more accurate.
last time I checked the most expensive version of the office suite was 500 dollars. Now you can usually find XP or whatever for under 200 dollars. That is 700 dollars, how the hell do they get 910 per computer for software? On top of that most schools get discounts for software like this.
Im sure they saved some money with this intitiative but they are definately inflating the cost of software.
GCN because it's the most technologically powerful console of this generation. (Xbox fans, if you want to dispute this, please provide evidence beyond clock speeds (and an explanation of unified memory, and why it doesn't hinder Xbox's performance). And perhaps an actual Xbox game that provides better graphics (polys, effects, AI) than Rogue Squadron III).
Dude, you really think the GC is more powerfull than the XBox? Wow. Ok you want a game? Try out Splinter Cell Chaos theory. The XBox version blows away the ports.
1. They didn't mention what the current punishment for "swapping files" was.
2. They never gave the reader any clue as to how many "convicted file swappers" there were.
How can I judge how big this event is if they don't give me any kind of ruler to measure it against. I know the RIAA in the US has sued some swappers for money, but it was all civil. Wired seems to act like this is a Bastille Day for file swappers, but I'm not even sure anyone was even in prison.
I remember seeing a commercial with the Blue Man Group about a week ago, they really need to come up with some new ideas instead of tweaking old successes, seriously.

"Why do you suppose that all of Microsoft's "Open Source" projects (WiX, FlexWiki, etc) are located on sourceforge instead of gotdotnet?"
how the hell is WiX or FlexWiki a Microsoft sponsored initiative? And who the fuck cares what open source system they use. Sourceforge is more popular, maybe thats why they use it. This article is about Bungie.net anyways, not source control systems.
Theres no nudity in the pictures :(

Im not a fan of our current administration either, but to say that something like this is coming soon is a bit of a stretch.
The patriot act is scary, but the they are fighting to keep the priviliges they already have, let alone create new methods of intrusion.
I realize wrapping things in hyperbole helps make points, but lets just be a little realistic here.
