I get that people want to mess around with the hardware, but almost none of this work goes towards something new and useful. I've yet to see any work on some killer applications or games the PS3.
I'm afraid that the PS3 is already too complex platform for homebrew individuals/groups to make anything useful for. Even if you had all the specs you'd probably need commercial-level development power to finish stuff.
I'm still curious about SSD support. Yes, TRIM command is supported but is it actually connected to the filesystems? Partition alignment is also a bit of a mystery, but according to some rumors, recent Ubuntu installers get it right.
Call me a sack of shit but I've downloaded mIRC myself about 15 times in my life and I have never sent anyone a dime for it. I know I'm far from being the only one who can honestly say this.
Downloads have nothing to do with marketshare or (in this case) profit.
Around 5 years ago I remember Khaled saying that he had received something like 10 registrations only!
Not only the XEL-1 anymore. LG now has a 15" OLED screen (actually a television), the 15EL9500 / 15EL950N (the latter variant includes media player features).
linux and windows have TRIM, so when will OSX have it?
By the way: does it even work in Linux, in practice? The first kernels to include TRIM support had it disabled by default, and I still believe there is some work left at the filesystem level.
Also the installers would need to take care of partition alignment...
Turn off swap, if you can. The cost of memory is now less than the cost of the stress and lost uptime due to swap-paralysis.
Actually even with no swap you will jam Linux when you run out of memory. Things like system libraries get thrown out of memory cache, but are soon needed again and read from the disk. This kind of circus can go on for half a hour until the actual OOM killer gets into the game.

Would the key work across different language versions?
Best of both worlds!
But a torrent is still a unique representation of the material, not just a blank, anonymous container.
You could also see it so that a torrent is a virtualization of it's contents, in other words, the same thing.

Google Chrome has also a quite nice integrated PDF reader.

I follow the same philosophy.
What's the idea behind these recasts?

But these days there's lots of obscure CGI URLs with long hashes and things like that. Not human-readable or -writable any more.
I like about:life better (only seems to work in SeaMonkey 2.1b2+ though)
What's that?
I hope we get some decent games too. There's way too much half-baked Disney-animation licensed crap on handhelds already.
I think that would actually look more crappy. The sharp lego-feeling makes a nice artistic style.

Mini-USB has been the standard for years and is only fractionally larger whilst being much stronger.
Mini-USB does look stronger, although according to Wikipedia, Micro should tolerate more connect-disconnect cycles.
No... on such machine, Quake should be somewhat choppy (10-15 fps) and Doom would run at "full speed", which is maybe 25-30 fps.
There was also some previous Slashdot story about Facebook which had the "browser.php" link. I wonder where it comes from.
Cool idea.
As fidelity (or, system complexity) increases in everything it makes harder each time to crank out new stuff.

2D adventure games would suit the platform excellently.

Here's an YouTube clip of the scene.
