My CS1 prof seems to prefer pushing his own IDE (read: he wrote it himself) called JavaRoom.
Anyway, I use Eclipse for a few reasons. First of all, it's really flexible so I can go in and change a whole lot of setting which are then saved to my workspace. Then I can keep this workspace on a USB flash drive or something and use it on my laptop, desktop, friend's desktop, or any of the PCs at school and it'll load up the exact UI settings and the same working environment I was using before. Beyond that, Eclipse has some really nice auto-compillation and auto-build functions that just make life easier. It also dynamically finds syntax errors as you write your statements so you don't compile your classes and find only at the end that you fucked up big time with some 500 syntax errors.
You can poo-poo Java all you want, but the reality is that it's made programming a lot easier for the "rest of us", especially in a world where cross platform compatibility is key.
I'm not entirely convinced it is -just- Microsoft's "bullying" that keeps OEMs from selling naked PCs; they don't think consumers want naked PCs. Most computer users today are... well idiots who wouldn't know how to install an OS if their life depended on it. Beyond that, most people know Windows and want to continue using it.
That's not the reason the bill is unconstitutional. It is because video games are a form of speech and as such are protected under the first amendment. Even if there was a massive indication that video games were harmful to children (and no such evidence exists), it would still be unconstitutional to put in place any sort of ban or restriction by the government.
Much as I love Ubuntu, I've not heard of any small or even medium sized OEM looking to market to the everyday PC consumer "switching to Ubuntu as their OS of choice".
Well with over 120 million consoles out there, it's not hard to see. Hopefully this will speak to the longevity of the console and give developers incentive to continue developing good PS2 games, as I'm not willing to fork out the cash for any next-gen console just yet.
Memory Stick capacity currently tops out at 8GB, and with new tech it's rising all the time. And honestly, if you're finding your PSP to be dead weight, pick up a copy of Lumines and use a new exploit to get new life out of your console.
It took a while for great games to appear on PS2. Not until a year after it's launch did MGS2 or GTA3 come out... really, it doesn't pay to be an early adopter.
Much as I want a PS3 to play MGS4 eventually, I completely agree. I recently spent $150 on a new graphics card for my PC that, while not particularly amazing, allows me to play all the great games I've missed out on over the last few years and some of the games to come in the future (plays Lost Planet decently, hopefully DMC4 and UT3 will work OK). All of the consoles currently available, IMO, are a waste of money for what you're getting (PS3 for the high price alone; 360 for the seemingly rampant hardware failures, though the new warranty helps you still have to send it in and all that crap; the Wii because of it's low specs and lack of almost any extra features, not even a DVD player), and I probably won't be getting a PS3 until I can procure one for under $250, new or used.
Apple's introducing a superior browser to Windows, therefore they're trying to weasel out Mozilla/Firefox? If they really want the market share, make Firefox 3 worth going back to, and I, for one, will start using FF again.
My favorite app for all this is a painfully simple one: hammer and a nail. Drive that through your HDD and even the best forensic work won't be able to bring your data back.

Twin Snakes came out in 2004.
So in other words, it gets 1.5 miles to the gallon. Yeah, real fuel efficient.
Would you want the MPAA raters to give away any bloody and tragic climax found in a movie? Of course not.

Is a port of a 2.5 year old PSP game? Jaffe sure is one creative fellow.

Cross (as in X) Media Bar.
Primarily, it's because they want to talk when they're at work, in school, or on the go, but the vast majority of them can't afford a Blackberry.
Component is required because progressive scan is required for games. Whatever reason they have for necessitating progressive scan, I don't know...
I, for one, am in favor of opening voting up to all ages.

They've become second party to Sony, in other words they've basically been bought out.

It's "viruses". This isn't Latin, we don't pluralize with "i"s.
Perhaps more importantly, how many of them are actual users? I get spam from "*@yahoo.com" emails on a daily basis.
